Lake Dallas City Council greenlights tiny home park
By Caitlyn Jones
Staff Writer
cjones @ den tonrc. com
The Lake Dallas City Council ap-
proved a zoning change that would
make a tiny home park in the down-
town district possible.
The council voted 4-1 to change the
zoning for a property at 206 Gotcher
Ave. to a planned development that
eventually will house small, typically
portable homes that range from 100 to
400 square feet in size.
Local property investor Terry Lan-
trip owns the 1-acre property and wants
to turn it into the first urban tiny home
community in the Dallas-Fort Worth
area and, potentially, the United States.
“This is a really cool thing,” Lantrip
said. “I think this is a really good pros-
pect for Lake Dallas. This is what’s go-
ing to turn Lake Dallas around.”
Tiny homes have been featured on
home-improvement shows, documen-
taries and news networks. People can
tour tiny homes at national festivals or
learn how to build their own at work-
shops across the country.
If they don’t want to build their own
yet, curious travelers can stay in tiny
house hotels.
Although tiny homes are piquing
own tiny homes and pay to park them.
The space also will feature on-site laun-
dry facilities, storage areas and a com-
munity garden. Lantrip said he hopes
to have the first tiny homes on the lot in
six months.
"Right now, there are about 2,600
people on the Dallas-Fort Worth Tiny
Home Community Facebook page, so
getting 13 units is not going to be a prob-
lem,” Lantrip said. “In fact, I have a feel-
ing that were going to have a lot of peo-
ple who are very sad they can’t live
here.”
7 think this makes Lake Dallas look a little more
edgy and creative and progressive. We're doing
something different that not every town does."

people’s interest, most cities have zon-
ing requirements and city building
codes that make tiny homes illegal.
Most tiny home communities are situ-
ated on large plots of land in rural areas.
Tiny homes also have been proposed
as a potential solution to combat home-
lessness. The Denton County Home-
lessness Coalition has been looking into
building tiny homes in the county that
would house homeless people. Road to
Damascus, a Denton-based organiza-
tion that assists the homeless, built a ti-
ny house in Sanger for Mary Wilson, a
local woman who used to live in a tent
near the Rayzor Ranch development.
The Lake Dallas park will have 13
lots available for people to bring in their

WASHINGTON - President Don-
ald Trump blocked the release of hun-
dreds of records on the assassination of
President John F. Kemiedy, bending to
CIA and FBI appeals, while the Nation-
al Archives came out Thursday night
with a hefty cache of others.
“I have no choice,” Trump said in a
memo, citing “potentially irreversible
harm” to national security if he were to
allow all records to come out now. He
placed those files under a six-month re-
view while letting 2,800 others come
out, racing a deadline to honor a law
mandating their release.
The documents approved for re-
lease capture the frantic days after the
Nov. 22, 1963, assassination, during
which federal agents madly chased
after tips, however thin, juggled ru-
mors and sifted through leads world-
wide.
Blotter: Odell Beck-
ham, who TMZ identi-
fied as the biological
father of star New York
Giants wide receiver
Odell Beckham Jr., was
arrested Wednesday in
Lewisville on drug and
gun possession charges.

Despite having months to prepare
for disclosures that have been set on the
calendar for 25 years, Trump’s decision
came down to a last-minute debate
with intelligence agencies — a tussle the
president then prolonged by calling for
still more review.

Trump declares opioid emergency,
pledges no new money to fight it
In the trenches
By Jill Colvin and Carla K. Johnson
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In ringing and personal
terms, President Donald Trump on Thursday
pledged that “we will overcome addiction in Amer-
ica,” declaring opioid abuse a national public health
emergency and announcing new steps to combat
what he described as the worst drug crisis in U.S.
history.
Trump’s declaration, which will be effective for
90 days and can be renewed, will allow the gov-
ernment to redirect resources in various ways and
to expand access to medical services in rural ar-

and cities, rich and poor and both the elderly and
newborns.
“It is time to liberate our communities from this
scourge of drug addiction,” he said. "We can be the
generation that ends the opioid epidemic.”
Deaths have surged from opioids, which include
some prescribed painkillers, heroin and synthetic
drugs such as fentanyl, often sold on the nation’s
streets.
Administration officials said they also would
urge Congress, dur ing end-of-the year budget ne-
gotiations, to add new cash to a public health emer-
gency fund that Congress hasn’t replenished for
years and contains just $57,000.
But critics said Thursday’s words weren’t
enough.
