REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL: Approved: Tom milla Mayor Austin, Texas, March 10, 1938. The City Council met in regular session at the regular meeting place in Austin, Texas, at 10:30 A. M., with Mayor Tom Miller presiding. Owing to the large number of visitors present, the meeting was held in the Auditorium. Roll call showed the following members present: Councilmen C. F. Alford, C. M. Bartholomew, Simon Gillis, Mayor Tom Miller, and Councilman Oswald G. Wolf, 5; absent, none. The reading of the Minutes was dispensed with. Mayor Miller called up for discussion the matter of a special election for ratification by the taxpayers of a $750,000 School Bond Issue, previously requested by the School Board, and declared the discussion open to all interested citizens. Members of the School Board and Supt. A. N. McCallum were present, as were also several citizens, of whom the following expressed themselves as favorable to the proposition and tendered their support in the matter: Messrs. A. T. Knies, President of the Chamber of Commerce, B. J. Rupert, representing the South Austin Civic Club, and John D. Cofer. No protests against the proposition were submitted, except a petition from the colored ministers of the City, presented by Dr. E. H. Givens, who, following the discussion, asked that said protest be withdrawn. Councilman Bartholomew went on record as favoring the bond issue substantially as follows: "I feel that it is the duty of the City Council, though I am only speaking for myself, to put ourselves on record at a time like this because I feel that the people who have elected us to this position are expecting that we define our attitude. "Ordinarily, I am strong against the issuance of bond obligations that posterity has to pay off, but I hope that I never live to see the day that I would take any stand against providing every facility for the youth of today to make himself a better man of tomorrow. For myself, I am through with education because my children are all grown, but I have grandchildren coming on, and I feel that I would be derelict in duty not to say to those present that, while I am a pretty good-sized taxpayer in Austin, I welcome the opportunity to pay for the future education and salvation of the coming generation. The only hope of the country in the dilemma it is in todayand this applies to the negro as well as the whites - is to be properly educated along proper lines of thinking. Our schools today are wholly inadequate. If I had the job that Superintendent McCallum has of running the schools with the tools given him, I would throw up the job. 11 "I am heartily in favor of improving our school system if it can be done at a lower cost than $750,000, but if it takes more, I will indorse it. Councilman Gillis also went on record as favoring the bond issue substantially as follows: "I am just as hard against the issuance of bonds as Councilman Bartholomew, or anyone else, but there is one bond that I always welcome an opportunity to vote for and that is a school bond. It is a great advertisement for our City when we ask for a bond issue thinking it will last five years and in two years' time find that it is inadequate. Our City is growing so fast that we have to have additional schools. Mayor Miller went on record as declaring that all members of the City Counc11 were thoroughly in accord with the progress of the schools of the City; that though the Council was interested in keeping the tax rate as low as possible, yet when there existed an urgent need on the part of the schools, the Council advocated the issuance of bonds, and that it was the intention to submit the issue to a vote of the people at the earliest possible moment. Following a few remarks by Supt. A. N. McCallum, Councilman G1111s introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE ORDERING AN ELECTION TO OBTAIN THE CONSENT OF THE QUALIFIED VOTERS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, TO THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS BY THE CITY COUNCIL IN THE SUM OF $750,000, FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF PUBLIC FREE SCHOOL BUILDINGS IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND THE PURCHASE OF GROUNDS AND EQUIPMENT THEREFOR.

The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: "Hon, Mayor and City Council Austin, Texas Gentlemen: The Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on March 8th, 1938, passed the following resolution which is hereby submitted for your consideration:- RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms, of Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Board of Adjustment for its consideration the petition of Mr. R. Niles Graham for a change in the "Use" District designation of Pease Estates, Section 2 and 3, including the Governor Pease homestead, from Residence "A" to. Residence "B" District; and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on March 8, 1938, carefully considered the changing of the "Use" District designation of this property, and has viewed the premises and carefully studied the conditions and developments surrounding same and considered this change from all points of view from sound zoning prin- ciples; therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: That it is hereby recommended to the City Council that the "Use" District designation of the above described property be not changed for the following reasons: 1. That this change is vigorously protested by a number of the adjacent property owners who have built expensive and elaborate homes in this area under the assuтр- tion that they will be protected in the restrictions of this area under the terms of the Zoning Ordinance for an "A" Residence District. 2. That this area has been developed as a high class residential area and that additional fine residences are being planned adjacent thereto and that the character of the neighborhood should be preserved inasmuch as there is already a large section of Enfield classed as "B" Residence District which affords ample opportunity for apartment house and boarding house development without prejudicing the rights of those who have built in the present "A" Residence District under the belief that the same would continue to be so classified. 3. That the inclusion of the Governor Pease homestead is unfortunate as this is an historic building and should be preserved and that the development of typев оf buildings permitted in the "B" Residence District would seriously affect its value intrinsically as well as an historic example of early Austin development. 4. That likewise the development of this area as a "B" Residence District would depreciate and adversely affect the value and character of the surrounding property for high class residential "Use". 5. That it has not been established that there is a need nor demand for add 1tional "B" Residence property on the part of the residents of this area and that this petition is by a single individual and covers property under a limited ownership. March 9, 1938. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT By H. F. Kuehne, Chairman. 1 620 The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: "Hon. Mayor and City Council Austin, Teхав Gentlemen: The Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on February 21, 1938, passed the following resolution which is hereby submitted for your consideration:RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms of Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Board of Adjustment for its consideration the petition of Henry Wendlandt and Ted Wendlandt for a change in the "Use" District designation of property located on East 11th Street, facing south between Curve Street and Waller Street to a depth of 130 feet from "C" Commercial District to "0-2" Commercial District, and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on February 21, 1938, carefully considered the changing of the "Use" District designation of this property, and has viewed the premises and carefully studied the conditions and developments surrounding same and considered this change from all points of view from sound zoning principles therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: That it is hereby recommended to the City Council that the "Use" District designation of the above described property be not changed for the following reasons: 1. That this change would be a decided case of spot zoning as the petition covers only a small parcel of property under a single ownership which would be contrary to the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. That the petition presented contains only the names of the individuals interested in this particular piece of property who are interested parties and does not rep- resent the consent or approval of any adjoining property owners or the neighborhood. 3. That this change is made for the purpose of securing a right to sell beer, wine, and liquors on this property for which the Council has established a large district in which this "Use" may be exercised and the petitioners can find ample room in this district for this purpose. 4. That an examination of this neighborhood discloses the fact that this property is situated on a major thoroughfare with heavy automobile traffic, that it is in close proximity to Sam Huston College, that it is near the Olive Street Grammar School for colored children, that it is near a church, and that it is surrounded principally by residential property. 5. That it has not been shown that the sale of wine, beer, and liquors on this property is desirable nor that there is a definite demand on the part of the neighborhood but on the contrary that this change would rather detract and injure this neigh- borhood and would not be in harmony with the purpose and spirit of the Zoning Ordinance. 6. That on an appeal from the denial of a permit by the Building Inspector for a variation of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance for the sale of wine, beer, and liquors on this property to the Board of Adjustment, the same was denied by the Board. March 1, 1938. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT By H. F. Kuehne Chairman. The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: "Hon. Mayor and City Council Austin, Texав Gentlemen: 11 The Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on March 8, 1938, passed the following resolution which is hereby submitted for your consideration:- RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms of Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Board of Adjustment for its consideration the petition of Mr. John Quist for a change in the "Use" District designation of property located at 1800 West 35th Street, Lot 1, Block 1, Oakmont Addition, from "A" Residence District to "C" Commercial District; and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on March 8, 1938, carefully considered the changing of the "Use" District designation of this property, and has viewed the premises and carefully studied the conditions and developments surrounding same and considered this change from all points of view from sound zoning principles, therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: That it is hereby recommended to the City Council that the "Use" District designation of the above described property be not changed for the following reasons: 1. That this change will be a decided case of spot zoning as the petition covers only one lot under a single ownership which would be contrary to the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and would be a case of special privilege to a single ownership. 2. That the zoning maps of the City of Austin now show a community center at the intersection of Jefferson Street and 35th Street which is only a short distance from the property above referred to and which is still undeveloped except for the existence of, one building, therefore affords opportunity for a commercial development to serve the needs of this section of the community. 3. That the extent of development in this neighborhood is not yet intensive enough to justify the creation of any further commercial areas. 4. That it is the understanding of the Board of Adjustment that Camp Mabry provides its own eating facilities for employees engaged there. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT March 9, 1938. By H. F. Kuehne Chairman. 11 The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: "Hon. Mayor and. City Council Austin, Teхав Gentlemen: : The Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on February 21, 1938, passed the following resolution which is hereby submitted for your consideration:- . RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms of Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Board of. Adjustment for its consideration a petition of Charles Wendlandt for a change in the "Use" District designation of Lots Nos. 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4, and 5, in Block No. 14 of the Highland Addition recently taken into the City from "A" Residence to "C" Commercial, District;. and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on February 21, 1938, carefully considered the changing of the "Use" District designation of this property, and has viewed the premises and carefully studied the conditions and developments surrounding same and considered this. change from all points of view from sound zoning principles; therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: That it is hereby recommended to the City Council that the "Use" District of the above described property. be changed from "A" Residence District to "C" Commercial District for the following reasons:1. That this property consists of a triangular tract at the end of the section of. Duval Street, Fiskville Road, Evans Avenue, and East 51st Street, Duval and Fiskville Road being major thoroughfares. 2. That on account of. the location of this tract and the fact that it comprises a complete block renders it desirable as a commercial center to serve a large residential area which is fast developing in this section of the City and in further view of the fact that there is no commercial property now existing in this area. 3. That a community center at this point, being located on two major thoroughfares, would be easily accessible and serve this section without a detriment to any surrounding property as the future development of this section will be controlled by the Zoning Ordinance.
