A committee from the South Austin Civic Club, with Roy Morey, as spokesman appeared before the Council and requested that a sewer extension be made to the area on Kenwood Avenue in Travis Heights where there have been several polio cases and one death this year. The Mayor advised the group that this extension and the one in the northeastern part of the city would be made as soon as bids for this work could be advertised and the award of the contract made, which would take about eighteen or twenty days. A map showing the needed sewer extensions all over the city was shown, and the Mayor stated that the city had grown faster than the needed utilities could be installed; that each area felt that its needs were greater than those of the other areas; but that the area on Kenwood Avenue would be taken care of first. The hearing on the recommendations of the Zoning Board regarding the location of fraternities and sororities in the "B" Residential District was held. A map prepared by the Zoning Board, showing the suggested areas for the location of fraternities and sororities, to be known as "B-1", was submitted. The following persons appeared regarding this proposed change: JIM SMITH, representing the TEJAS CLUB, who stated that his organization owns a lot located at 2806 Rio Grande Street, just outside the proposed "B-1" area, and wished to know where they would stand if they wanted to build. He was advised that he had the right of appeal to the City Council for a permit to build a fraternity house or club house on this property, CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 534 538 WILL HART, who wanted to know what the status of his property located at East Avenue and 20th Street would be if this "B-1" district were created, and stated further that he did not favor this change if it would limit the use of his property; ADELE HENDERSON, owner of property at 24th and Leon Streets, who stated that she had bought this property for the purpose of selling it to a fraternity but that said property had not been included in the area proposed for fraternities and sororities, and asked if she would be permitted to sell said property to a fraternity and was advised that she would and that a permit would be issued for a fraternity at this location; JAS. ANDERSON, JR., representing the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, who stated that his fraternity owned several lots at the corner of 24th Street and Shoal Creek Boulevard, and asked if a fraternity house could be built on said property, After a lengthy discussion of the matter, the City Manager suggested that an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance providing that anyone wishing to build a fraternity or sorority or co-operative house for students would have the right of appeal to the City Council for such permit if such property were in a "B" District be prepared, such provision being similar to the one in the Zoning Ordinance for a "C-1" District. The City Attorney was instructed to prepare such amendment and have same ready for the Council at its next regular meeting. "SKINNY" PRYOR appeared and asked that Zilker Springs pool be enlarged to accommodate the increasing number of patrons, and suggested that this be done by building another dam below the present dam. He was advised that this matter was already underconsideration, but would have to be undertaken at some future date. A petition signed by a number of property owners on the Cameron Road from 51st Street north to the city limits, asking that some relief regarding the water pressure in that area, in the way of a la rger water main, be given them immediately, was submitted; and the matter was taken under advisement. L. HIRSCH, 1104 Taylor Street, appeared and requested the City Council to grant a change in zoning, from "A" Residence to "C" Commercial, of his property located at 1104 Taylor Street; the Zoning Board having reported adversely on said change. A public hearing on the matter was called for August 1 next at 11:00 A. M. FREDERICK ROMBERG, who lives on Park Place, appeared and asked that something be done about the traffic hazards on this street, stating that the Police Department had painted some lines and stop signs some time ago, but that they had faded out, and the property owners in this area would appreciate something being done to lessen the traffic hazard. He further asked if it would be possible to keep the taxicabs and heavy trucks off his street, but was told that this could not be done. W. T. WILLIAMS, SR., appeared and requested a zoning change from "A" Residence to "C" Commercial of the property owned by the CHALK HILL THEATER COMPANY, LTD., located on the Dallas Highway between Nelray Boulevard and the property owned by the City of Austin, said property to be used for a drive-in theatre. 539 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 539 C. F. HERRING appeared and stated that he represented a number of property owners in this area and that they wanted to protest such change, and that he thought the matter should be referred to the Zoning Board but that the City Attorney had stated that the City Council would be the proper authority to hear this request. After a discussion of the matter, the Council set a public hearing on the change requested by W. T. Williams, Sr., for July 18 next at 11:00 A. M. The continued hearing on the zoning of the property on the west side of the Dallas Highway from Koenig Lane to the Railroad Tracks, was held.
