Parsons addressed the Glen Heights City Council during public comment to ask why he has not received a senior homestead exemption from the city.

Parsons, who said he is 69 and has lived at 212 Joseph Drive for about 20 years, told the council he had received a homestead exemption from Ellis County but not from Glen Heights. He said he learned from the Dallas County tax office that the city had “taken” his exemption and that he could not find records at the appraisal district office.

“I come here to . . . ask why, as a senior citizen, I don't have the benefits from the homestead exemption,” Parsons said. He told the council he is on a fixed income and had fallen behind on a six-month tax payment schedule.

Mayor Sonya A. Brown said she would ensure City Manager Blackwell receives Parsons’s contact information and reaches out after the meeting.

The council did not take formal action during the meeting; the mayor’s pledge indicates staff follow-up was requested.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Glenn Heights - City Council - Jun 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Gustavo A.

Director of Planning and Development Parvis Porzizian said the city has engaged appraisal and title services and expects appraisal reviews to be complete within about 30 to 60 days. “We are getting close within probably next 30 to 60 days to have the appraisal and final, appraisal reviews done and send out the offers,” Porzizian told the council. He said the resolution is intended to allow the city manager to negotiate offers so each parcel does not need to be brought back to council individually.

Earlier in the meeting the council entered executive session under the Texas Government Code to deliberate real property and to consult with the city attorney regarding property acquisitions and related legal matters. The executive session topics included land acquisitions for the East Bear Creek Road right-of-way expansion project; the council reconvened and voted on the resolution in open session.

Councilmembers moved and seconded approval of R-18-25; the motion passed 7-0. The resolution authorizes negotiation and conveyance authority but does not itself authorize final purchases; offers and settlements will follow appraisal reviews.","Council approved Resolution R-18-25, authorizing the city manager to negotiate property acquisitions and allowing the mayor to execute conveyances for the East Bear Creek Road right-of-way expansion project; staff said appraisals are imminent.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6641753,"Glen Heights adopts Dallas County 2025 hazard mitigation plan; funding avenues unclear",239,1291000,1530000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3646975-a8c7f6d61fb4188cf89b8415cf4035ea&start=1291&end=1530","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3646975-a8c7f6d61fb4188cf89b8415cf4035ea/thumbnail_1291000.jpg","/articles/6641753/Glenn-Heights/Dallas-County/Texas/Glen-Heights-adopts-Dallas-County-2025-hazard-mitigation-plan-funding-avenues-unclear","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641753-dfd46dd43ef0ec7f5653edfce940ea4a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161905&Signature=k~rjITIdrI3zNAIfTghuG9OqoELCC3W7nr3gM2iFEPasEIeSxA-Lr6lhYjA1FrgDY4-oUNipY6ScxarTSQP8fHBYshzQmVJSFf8dDay4NCTHFXlOl5O2yZi7toWtYvnmmIGyHVpOziCUDOY6zIGKhD8tLCfSbkMFa5ClYcm1KhQZ~lh732p2-N8GTgjhdvK9R6HkHJsSm5qlUCdqfoXIoND8dw0jPmlbNavjyElDleK9u2q84PL3PoO439~cXC9H9UuvhtE80HTCRo14Cni5DpBCgBFNYS~ewHU3xg3UCIiUm7g3UBlapgS1cJ6UzPKCtBt7y9TajvaXeUGEP3rv9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Glen Heights City Council voted 7-0 to adopt Resolution R-17-25, authorizing the mayor to sign the Dallas County 2025 Hazard Mitigation Action Plan and completing the city's required annexes to the countywide plan.

Keith Moore, deputy city manager, said the hazard mitigation plan is part of the city's emergency management program and is reviewed every five years. “To my knowledge, this will be the first time the city of Glen Heights has completed all 22 annexes for the Emergency Management,” Moore said. He said the city worked with Dallas County and H2O Partners to compile the plan and to submit it to the Texas Division of Emergency Management and FEMA.

Moore said the plan lists 21 proposed mitigation actions for Glen Heights; some were carried over from the prior plan. He told the council that the funding opportunities for those proposed actions are unknown at this time but that inclusion in the mitigation plan is a prerequisite for most federal mitigation grants.

Councilmembers moved and seconded to approve the resolution; the motion passed 7-0.

The resolution makes Glen Heights eligible to pursue federal mitigation funds tied to the county plan; specific project funding and timelines will depend on future grant opportunities and local prioritization.","The council authorized the mayor to sign the Dallas County 2025 Hazard Mitigation Action Plan, completing required annexes and keeping the city eligible for federal mitigation funding; staff said funding opportunities for listed projects are not yet known.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6641758,"Glen Heights council approves replat to give two Lakeshore Lane lots street access",238,1028000,1266000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3646975-a8c7f6d61fb4188cf89b8415cf4035ea&start=1028&end=1266","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3646975-a8c7f6d61fb4188cf89b8415cf4035ea/thumbnail_1028000.jpg","/articles/6641758/Glenn-Heights/Dallas-County/Texas/Glen-Heights-council-approves-replat-to-give-two-Lakeshore-Lane-lots-street-access","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641758-c896633c82fd597567b85292ce96cc2e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161905&Signature=bl4g9p~~mTIcuhVFzpj~mBd85ZqxO6BIeFvCDDzNaMpVgR2FpuXrALfQ55gpJOOnh8jIU1fhQ7nY8I3nadRzeCH3FZ0~CYJI74uyFywHdgM90SdhuX8vr4Liz1xtMOGFvPpT~8YQGXCNkrhJPW5t8EX4re3GzyxYpZMLybmLHxMZGgQa-CtzaOVcAfy7z8HGyMVAJG3F7nPV-HZWNzpUf7mUygoK5ZEbhNY0OWl6Hdmano4RrkWq7vgigaFMhvHmnnGUNcVO~HlkMEALGmzKAp57FoHmKarMt36TA3yM4aTSLT6ycaTjMpQcjoEoZ8wJAlT17SibbYepE16bqvRLWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Glen Heights City Council voted unanimously to approve replat case RP-01-25, allowing two residential lots at 130 and 140 Lakeshore Lane to be reconfigured so both parcels can gain access to East Woodell Drive.

Planning and Development Director Parvis Porzizian said the replat is intended solely to provide access. “The only reason this replat is in front of you is, so the property owner can have access to the street,” Porzizian said during the council meeting. Staff recommended approval.

Porzizian told the council the lots are in the platted Lindell Estates subdivision and that Lakeshore Lane currently ends at Woodell; the pavement does not continue south past that point. He said the city has no capital improvement plan to extend Lakeshore Lane within the next five years, though a private developer may choose to extend a short portion at their own cost.

Councilmembers moved and seconded the motion to approve RP-01-25. The motion passed on a 7-0 vote.

The planning item noted an addressing discrepancy in HCAD records: the parcels are listed with Red Oak mailing addresses even though Porzizian said the properties are inside Glen Heights city limits. The council did not take additional action on addressing corrections.

Council approval authorizes the replat to be recorded so the property owner can pursue the street access prescribed by the new lot orientation.","The City Council of Glen Heights voted 7-0 to approve replat case RP-01-25, combining and reorienting two lots in the Lindell Estates subdivision so the properties can access East Woodell Drive.","actionData","errors"]
