Objections to said proposed amendments will be heard at said hearCITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 519 519 There were a number of interested citizens present. The Mayor stated that the Council would discuss this by sections. The first section taken up was the "C-1" zone. Mr. Threadgill stated he represented all of the property owners on both sides of the Dallas Highway in that the area that the Zoning Board had recommended as "C-1", from Koenig Lane north to the city limits, and that they wanted this property change to "C-2" because they are now operating their liquor stores under temporary occupation permits and that would prevent them for expanding at some future date. Messers Jack Key, Andrew Smith and C. A. Paxton were also present and they too said that they wanted this changed to "C-2". Mr. Blendermann of the Zoning Board stated that the one reason why the Board has recommended the "C-1" was that if the "C-2" were permitted then it would allow many industries and plants, and even junk yards, which would make the highway most unsightly, and it was their desire to beautify it rather than to allow something that would mar the beauty of the highway. The reason why the distance recommended as "C-1" on the east side of the highway was 150 feet instead of 350 feet as on the west side was because that area is in a dry area under local option, and even the 150 feet could not be used as "C-1". Just as the hearing was about to close Mr. Paxton stated that the protestants of the "C-1" Commercial recommendation on the west side of the Dallas Highway from Koenig Lane to the railroad tracks were now agreed that this would be satisfactory. M. H. Crockett appeared and stated that there had been an error made on the map regarding the zoning of his property in that it did not show 400' as he had been told would be recommended. He was assured that this was an error and that 400' was the area that would be zoned "C" Commercial. J. W. Vaughn appeared and asked that the three lots which he owns and which are located on the Airport Boulevard where Pampa Street intersects the Boulevard be zoned "C" Commercial as there was nothing zoned "C" Commercial in that area, and that he had bought the property with the idea of placing a community center on same. Mr. Kuehne stated that Mr. Vaughn's property and all the property in that area had deed restrictions and, therefore, could not be used for business property. Mr. Vaughn still contended that it should be changed, and the Mayor told him that he would have a right to appeal to the Zoning Board if he had the deed restrictions removed from his property. Bob Long appeared and that that he would like to have his property located on the west of the railroad track, near the Middle Fiskville Road, zoned "D" Industrial and, if that was not possible, then he would like to have it "0" Commercial so that he could sell the property, as the prospective purchasers that he had would want it for business property. After a discussion of this request, the members of the Zoning Board present, recommended that his property for a depth of 400 feet be zoned "C" Commercial, such property fronting on the Airport Boulevard and west of the railroad tracks. Ramsey Smith, operator of the Alta Plaza Courts on the Dallas Highway, appeared and asked if it would be possible to increase the width of the area on the east side of the Dallas Highway, all of which property he now owns, to a depth of 285 so that he can expand his courts. This was agreed to. The Mayor stated that the Council could not and would not pass on these proposed changes at this meeting because Councilman Thornberry was not present, but that the Council and the Zoning Board would continue the study of these recommendations and as soon as possible an ordinance covering these changes in 520 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 520 zoning would be prepared for submission to the Council. Bob Long stated that he would like to discuss with the Council the possi bility of parallel parking on San Jacinto Boulevard, between 12th and 19th streets, because the present angle parking presented a very serious danger to the automobile driver on the Boulevard. The Mayor and City Manager stated that this was now being studied by the Traffic Department. The City Manager was requested to make a study of the various types of parking meters on themarket and then to set a date for the taking of bids on parking meters so as to replace the worn-out meters we now have and then to put in additional meters to help alleviate the traffic problems we now have. Chas. Green, editor of the Austin American-Statesman, appeared and stated that an editorial appearing in their Austin American of this date, regarding the need for apartments and rooms for veterans and University students, had brought them a deluge of phone calls. Many of the people calling had stated that because of the City building restrictions and regulations and the zoning ordinance restrictions, they were unable to convert their homes and extra rooms into apartments to rent. Mr. Green wanted to know what the City had done about making allowances for substitute materials in our ordinances covering remodeling and building. The City Manager stated that early last fall he had discussed with the various departments this matter, and that he had studied the zonign and building ordinances and the City's rules and regulations regarding plumbing and electric wiring, and that he had instructed the department heads to do everything possible to help people with their building problems, and to allow substi- tutes where the materials called for by ordinance were unobtainable, and also that the Zoning Board had been asked to cooperate by granting temporary use permits wherever possible, all of which has been done. Mr. Green stated that he did not know this, but was glad that the City had taken these steps. The Mayor introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THAT CERTAIN ORDINANCE ENTITLED: "AN ORDINANCE REGULATING TRAFFIC UPON THE PUBLIC STREETS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN; PRESCRIBING PENALTIES FOR THE VIOLATION OF SAME; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CON FLICT HEREWITH; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY, " WHICH ORDINANCE WAS PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN ON MAY 6, 1937, AND IS RECORDED IN BOOK "K", PAGES 159-179, INCLUSIVE, OF THE ORDINANCE RECORDS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, BY RE-ENACTING ARTICLE III, SECTION 129(6) OF SAID ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE LOCATION OF STOP SIGNS AND ADDING A NEW INTERSECTION ON MILLER ROAD AT SOUTH CONGRESS AVENUE; BY PROVIDING FOR DOUBLE CENTER STRIPE ON SOUTH CONGRESS AVENUE BETWEEN BARTON SPRINGS ROAD AND ACADEMY DRIVE, EXCEPT AT INTERSECTIONS AND OTHER LOCATIONS DESIGNATED HEREIN; BY PROHIBITING U-TURNS AND LEFT TURNS ON THE SAID PORTION OF SOUTH CONGRESS AVENUE, EXCEPT AT INTERSECTIONS NOT CONTROLLED BY TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHTS AND EXCEPT AT OTHER LOCATIONS DESIGNATED HEREIN; BY REENACTING ARTICLE IV, SECTION 22-f, OF SAID ORDINANCE RELATING TO TWO-HOUR PARKING LIMITS AND ADDING NEW LOCATIONS FOR SAID LIMITS ON LAVACA STREET BETWEEN 14th AND 15th STREETS AND ON THE WEST SIDE OF SAID STREET FROM 15th TO 17th STREETS; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment held a hearing on this application at a meeting on June 18, 1946, at which hearing the applicants appeared and explained in detail the development which was proposed on this property; and 3. WHEREAS, several neighboring property owners appeared and entered into a lengthy discussion of the drainage situation in this area, affirming that much of this property is subject to overflow during heavy rains due to the lack of proper storm sewer facilities and contending that this situation tends to create a health menace but did not appear to have any objection to the particular development per se; and 622 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 522 4. WHEREAS, the applicants affirmed that their particular property was higher than the surrounding property and that portions of it would be filled in and they anticipated no difficulty in this respect; and 5. WHEREAS, the front portion of this property for a depth of 150 feet is now in a commercial zone and this application is for an extention of this zone to cover the applicants' property to the south line of the City property of the Butler tract; and 6. WHEREAS, the applicants further affirmed that the front portion, which is the lowest portion of the tract, is being reserved for commercial purposes which the owner affirmed would be filled at the time of such development, and that the remainder would be developed into a permanent type of trailer camp in a most modern manner similar to those now being developed in Florida and California, and that the streets would be graveled and later paved and provision would be made for a central laundry and washing facilities with a laundry yard and a recreational area for Children and adults, and that each trailer would have all the required sanitary facilities prescribed by the trailer ordinance of the City of Austin, and that the project will be made attractive by landscaping; and 7. WHEREAS, the Board deemed that this type of development would be more in the nature of a tourist camp and if all sanitary provisions were complied with, proper drainage facilities provided, this project located in the pecan grove would not be detrimental nor adversely affect the neighborhood and that the trailers being more or less permanent in their location would not create any more traffic hazard than any large retail store located on a part of this property; therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: 9 THẠT, the present "C" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District extension to include the above described property be and is hereby recommended to the City Council.
