Jno. T. Smith, owner of the property in question, requested the change in order to permit the erection of a four-unit apartment house at 1017 Travis Boulevard, declaring that the proposed structure would be an asset to the community; that there was a need for this type of building in this locality; and that would not be used as a rooming or boarding house. 97 W. D. Hart, Attorney for applicant, Jno. T. Smith, plead for the change on the grounds that applicant had complied with all of the building provisions in his deed; that the proposed building is to be used strictly for residential purposes; that it will not be a detriment to the surrounding property, but will benefit the City of Austin in the way of increased taxes. Petitions signed by thirty-seven residents of Travis Heights, protesting the propoвед change on the grounds that it would destroy the value of this section as exclusively residential, were read. Chas. F. Hutter protested the change on the grounds that it would open the way for other changes and would render the Zoning Ordinance null and void. Louis Reuter objected on the grounds that to allow the erection of a four-unit apartment house would place this section in the rental class and depreciate its value as strictly residential. Chas. Betts objected to the change on the grounds that it would open the way for the building of larger units. Geo. F. Zimmermann protested the change on the grounde that it would greatly depreciate values in Travis Heights and cited Enfield as an example of decreased values by reason of apartment houses and plead for the preservation of the ordinance as it now stands. After hearing all arguments for and against the proposed change from Residence "A" to Residence "B" of the above described property, it was moved by Mayor Miller, seconded by Councilman Gillis, that this immediate area be changed from Residence "A" to Residence "B" so. as to permit the erection of the proposed apartment house by Mr. Smith. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes, Councilmen Alford, G11118, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Wolf, 4; nays, none; Councilman Bartholomew absent, 1.
