Bois D’Arc Lake Committee – Cemeteries & Lake Bonham Zoning Discussed
By Rose Schwartz
Thursday, June 3, 2021, County Judge Randy Moore called to order at 8:34 a.m., the Regular Meeting of the Bois d’Arc Lake Zoning Commission. Quorum was established as there were three members present and one participating via teleconference. Matt Titsworth was absent. 2. Public Forum: There were no speakers for Public Forum. 3. Approve meeting minutes from 05/06/2021 Public Hearing and 05/06/2021 Regular Meeting: Judge Moore stated that regarding the minutes under comments where Matt Titsworth said that; “it should be in regulation if it is not going to be enforced”, he believes what was actually said was, “that it should not be in regulation if it is not going to be enforced”. He also noted that on Item 5 and Item 6, both items had been ac2017 Nissan Sentra OVED /APPR 2017 Lincoln MKC LD SO 2017 Hyundai Elantra 2017 Ford Escape Titanium 2016 Toyota Camry 2016 Toyota Camry 2015 RAM 1500 4X4 2015 Ford Focus 2015 Ford Fiesta 2015 Ford Escape OVED 2015 Chevy Traverse /APPR LD SO 2015 Chevrolet Cruze 2014 Nissan Versa Note 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2014 Jeep Patriot 2014 Jeep Cherokee OVED 2014 Hyundai /APPRSonata LD SO 2014 Ford Escape 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 2014 Chevrolet Equinox 2013 Ford Escape 2012 Volkswagon Routan 2012 Ford Fusion 2012 Ford Focus SE OVED 2012 Dodge Journey /APPR LD SO 2012 Chrysler 200 2012 Chevy Malibu LT 2012 Chevy Malibu 1LT
cepted, approved and passed by the Commissioners Court per Bois d’Arc Commission’s recommendation. Gilbert Welch noted a verbiage correction was needed on item 8 changing 100 ft setback to 100 ft frontage. Motion was made, seconded and passed that the minutes be accepted with the modifications. 4. Discussion, regarding notifying the Fannin County Historical Commission of zoning change requests on properties where cemeteries are located. Malinda Allison of the Fannin County Historical Commission along with Larry Standlee, spoke regarding a list of historical cemeteries located within the 5,000 ft Buffer Zone of Bois d’Arc Lake that was given to the Fannin County Development Service Director Di Hopkins. Ms. Allison requested the Historical Commission be notified whenever an application for rezoning or a variance is made 2012 Chevy Equinox LT 2012 Chevy Equinox LT 2012 Chevy Cruze 2012 Chevrolet Malibu 2012 Chevrolet Cruze OVED 2012 Buick LaCrosse /APPR LD SO 2012 Buick LaCrosse ED PROV 2011 Ford SuperCrew /APF150 LD SO OVED /APPR 2011 Chevy Traverse LD SO 2011 Chevy Impala LT 2011 Chevy Impala LT 2011 Chevy HHR 2011 Chevrolet Suburban 2010 Mitsubishi Galant 2010 Kia Soul OVED /APPR 2010 Honda Accord LD SO 2010 Ford Fusion 2010 Ford Fusion 2010 Chevy Malibu 2010 Chevy Equinox 2010 Chevy Camaro OVED 2010 Buick Enclave /APPR LD SO 2009 Toyota Sienna 2009 Silverado 2009 Nissan Versa 2009 Kia Borrego 2009 Ford F350 Flatbed 2009 Ford F-150
involving land where these cemeteries are located, as it is the responsibility of the Historical Commission to oversee their protection. She went on to explain their desire is to contact the landowner/landowners for several reasons, with one being that the law requires that reasonable access be given to those wishing to visit a cemetery. By knowing who owns the property where a historical cemetery resides, their job as an intermediary for those wishing to visit the cemeteries and current landowners, would be made a lot easier and would prevent folk from having to trespass on private property. Judge Moore and Ms. Hopkins explained that steps are being taken to add the cemeteries to the map that would enable Ms. Hopkins to check, once permit applications are made, if a cemetery is located within any land involved in a rezoning or a variance request. It was agreed that the Bois d’Arc

with Bois d’Arc Commission and later with the Commissioners Court that will probably be accomplished in the weeks ahead. Gilbert Welch brought up the issue of ETJ (extra territorial jurisdiction) and used the Boat Storage facility on R3 as an example. Ms. Hopkins replied that the Boat Storage Facility is not an ETJ but is a City of Bonham property. Discussion ensued regarding other municipalities and their zoning or lack thereof and what needs to be done to prepare those municipalities to work with the Bois d’Arc Commission.
