The City Council convened in regular session at the regular meeting place in the Council Room at the Municipal Building, on Thursday, April 18, 1940, at 10:55 A. M., with Mayor Tom Miller preBiding. Roll call showed the following members present: Councilmen Alford, Gillis, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Wolf; absent, Councilman Bartholomew. The Minutes of the regular meetings of April 4 and April 11, 1940, were read, and upon motion of Councilman Wolf, were adopted as read by the following vote: Ayes, Councilmon Alford, Gillis, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Wolf; nays, nono; Councilman Bartholomow absent. Mesers. Sam Ingram and Mace F. Thurman, on behalf of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, came before the Council and asked that the penalty and interest accrued against the east 451x2091 of Lot 6, Outlot 55, Division "3", assessed in the name of Annie Overton, and held by the City under a tax deed, be remitted to enable said Corporation to sell the property. The matter was taken under advisement and referred to the City Manager for recommendation. In accordance with published notice thereof, the public hearing on the proposal of the City Council to amend the Zoning Ordinance in the following particulars was opened: To amend the USE designation of the following described property so as to change same from "B" Residence District and Second Height and Area District, to "0" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District: The northeast corner of Outlot 19, Division "Z", facing cast on Rio Grande Street about 105 feet and on West 19th Street about 128 feet, together with all improvements thereon, and being the same property conveyed by Mrs. S. S. Shackelford to J. M. Edwards on August 23, 1918, as the same appears of record in Travis County Deed Records, Volume 304, page 452; said above. described property being located at the southwest corner of West 19th and RioGrande Streets in the City of Austin, Texas. C. C. Campbell, representing the J. M. Edwards Estate, proponent of the change, appeared and plead for the change on the ground that as the business area has been extended already west to Rio Grande Street, it now be extended across the street to allow the erection of another filling station, citing the fact that as a result of the growth of the City, Colorado, Lavaca, and Guadalupe Streets have become business streets, and that, in line with further progress, Rio. Grande Street should now be changed. A large group of property owners was present to protest the change, the following appearing to be heard: Dr. Goodall Wooten objected to further encroachment of business in that area on account of his home, declaring that the fact that a laundry and filling station were located there now did not make it a commercial street, and that there was no need for another filling station. J. W. Scarbrough declared that as there has to be a dividing line somewhere, the Board of Adjustment had made that dividing line Rio Grande Street; that it was not logical to extend the commercial district across Rio Grande Street and allow a filling station in a block where there was no other business at the present time; that their property values would be deprecinted; and the peaceful enjoyment of their homes would be lost. Mrs. John B. Pope declared the proposed change objectionable, as the property in question is adjacent to her home where she has lived for the past twenty-eight years and the erection of a filling station on said property would result in much discomfort and annoyance to the occupants of her home. Mrs. Milton Morris stated that she objected to the change as same would be detrimental to her property. A petition signed by Goodall H. Wooten, et al., property owners and tenants within a radius of two hundred feet, or more, from the property in question, protesting the proposed change on the grounds: that it would create a nuisance to their homes, would devaluate the present value of their homes, and would encroach upon the homely conveniences this neighborhood has afforded them in the past, was submitted by Foe A. Lawrence. Toe A. Lawrence further stated that when the laundry was built at the southeast corner of 19th and Rio Grande Streets, Mrs. Milton Morris, adjacent property owner, lost a tenant on account of same; that said property remained vacant for several months, and was now bringing less revenue than before. A written protest, signed by W. T. Caswell on behalf of his sister, Mrs. H. L. Gerhard, was received. No other property owners or interested persons requesting to be heard, Mayor Miller then moved that, in view of the serious objections to the change in zoning of the property at the southwest corner of West 19th and Rio Grande Streets, from "B" Residence and Second Height and Area Districts, to "C" Commercial and Second Height and Area Districts, entered by property owners, the City Council sustain the recommendations of the Board of Adjustment and disapprove the change. The motion was seconded by Councilman Alford, and the same prevailed by the following vote: Ayes, Councilmen Alford, Gillis, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Wolf; nays, none; Councilman Bartholomew absent. A petition signed by H. W. Newman, et al., property owners and residents on Salado and San Pedro Streets, protesting the spot zoning asked for by Samuel E. Gideon on the west side of the 2700 block on Salado Street, was received and filed. Mayor Miller moved that the matter of change in zoning of the property of S. E. Gideon on the west side of the 2700 block on Salado Street, continued from the last regular meeting, be continued to the next regular meeting. The motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes, Councilmen Alford, Gillis, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Wolf; nays, none; Councilman Bartholomow absent.
