The following report of the Board of Adjustment on the application of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity for a change in zoning of the property located at the northeast corner of Pearl and West 25th Streets was received and ordered filed: "Austin, Texas February 6, 1947 Honorable Mayor and City Council Austin, Texas Gentlemen: The following is a copy of a resolution which was passed by the Board of Adjustment at a meeting on February 4, 1947: 942- CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 942 RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms of Section 31 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for its consideration, the petition of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, University of Texas Chapter, requesting a change in the Use designation of the following property: Lots 22, 23, and 24, Outlot 53, Division "D", in the City of Austin, from a special "B" Residence District to a "B" District; and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment held a hearing on this proposal at a meeting on February 4, 1947, at which Chas. F. Herring and Edward Clark, Attorneys; Julian Montgomery, J. M. Odom, General K. L. Berry, Lieutenant Colonel Hank Clewis, Sherman Birdwell, and Jim Conner, as members of the Fraternity; and J. S. Whitworth, owner of adjacent property, all appeared in behalf of the change and presented a petition signed by 63 members of the Fraternity and letters from Dr. Theophilus S. Painter, President of the University of Texas; Dr. James C. Dolley, Vice-President; Arno Nowotny, Dean of Student Life; Jack Holland, Addistant Dean of Men; and the following neighbors of the Fraternity in its present location: Stella Traweek, Mrs. Elbert Hooper, Mrs. Elena D. Davis, and Mrs. V. M. Ehlers, all in favor of the change; and WHEREAS, at this hearing Herman Jones, Attorney, appeared in behalf of several property owners who opposed the proposed change, and Mr. and Mrs. Newgent, Mrs. Lora B. Jones, Mrs. and Miss Webb, Mrs. C. E. Pinckney, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ottinger, and Judge James P. Alexander voiced their protest, stating that the erection of a fraternity house in this neighborhood would increase the already heavy traffic on Graham Place, or West 25 Street, which is a narrow street and would cause more cars to be parked on the surrounding streets, and would, in general, disturb the neighborhood; and WHEREAS, an examination of the present zoning classification of the neighborhood discloses the fact that at the present time all of the property south of West 25th Street is "B" Residence and the property west of Pearl Street to San Gabriel Street is now zoned as a special "B" Residence District for a depth of four lots, and that the property to the north and east is zoned as "A" Residence District and First Height and Area District with the exception of the property along Rio Grande Street, which is also a "B" Residence District and Second Height and Area District; and WHEREAS, the property applied for consists of three lots located at the northeast corner of Pearl and West 25th Streets and separated by an alley from the present "A" Residence District and from the extension of Graham Place, or West 25% Street, by a narrow strip 31 feet wide, being part of a lot remaining after the extension of Graham Place and which is owned by the City, this detaching this property from all other private property surrounding it; and WHEREAS, the applicants propose to erect thereon in the center of the combined three lots a fraternity house to cost in the neighborhood of 943 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 943 $100,000.00 and make provision for on-site parking in the rear thereof along the present alley, which is 15 feet wide, leaving considerable unoccupied lot area around the building on all sides as shown on the plans pre- sented by the applicants; and WHEREAS, this property is located in the area which had been previously recommended by the Board of Adjustment to be zoned a "B" Residence Dist- rict and Second Height and Area District on January 8, 1946, which included all property up to the south line of Graham Place and to San Gabriel Street and which, however, was later amended on February 26, 1946, to exclude the lots fronting on Graham Place at the request of these property owners; and WHEREAS, all the property to the south of 25th Street having been changed to a "B" Residence District, has been acquired largely by fraterni ties and sororities who would later construct buildings thereon for the same purpose as the property above described and apartment buildings may now also be built on the property in the present special "B" Residence District that is now being proposed to be changed to a "B-1" District, therefore would definitely change the character of this neighborhood from a one and two-family district to a multi-family district having a greater density of population; and WHEREAS, this property is now located in a special "B" Residence District established by the Council under an agreement with property owners, which district permits the erection of apartment buildings, and under the present terms of the Ordinance as amended the erection of a four-story apartment building containing 26 family unit or apartments would be permitted, which, under the definition of terms in the Ordinance, would permit 130 persons to occupy the building as members of families exclusive of any boarders, lodgers or visitors, which occupancy could conceivably increase to 150 or more persons; and WHEREAS, in the light of these facts, it is practically evident that congestion on the streets adjacent to this property would be greater in the event of an apartment house as permitted by the Ordinance than the proposed development since the ratio of cars for individual occupancy would probably be greater in the case of an apartment house than in the case of the fraternity; and WHEREAS, the development of this property as proposed would provide a large free area of unoccupied ground around the building, thus separating it a greater distance from other buildings on adjacent property than if fully occupied by an apartment building under the Height and Area regulations of the Ordinance, and the type of building and development of the grounds would not depreciate the value thereof but rather tend to enhance it; and WHEREAS, the unprecedented growth of Austin and especially the Univer sity of Texas has created an emergency situation with reference to housing for University students and faculty and resulted in an inevitable expansion of the area surrounding the University devoted principally to housing of students and faculty and until the construction of dormitories by the University would be sufficient to house the majority of the students, which, at the present rate, would require several decades, if not longer; and this irresistable trend lies in the direction of this property since available property for multi-family housing is becoming less and less available in the immediate environment of the University; and 944 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 944 WHEREAS, the Board, after careful study and consideration of all the elements involved in this matter, does not find any cause which would lead to a change in its original findings concerning this area and deems that the progress of the University, especially the housing of students, should not be retarded or stymied by zoning regulations which were adopted when the City of Austin was one-half its present size and the University was rather a small institution; and further deems that this area is inevitably destined to become an outlet for the increasing demand for multi-family dwellings as such a trend has already been definitely established; therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: THAT the above change in the zoning designation of the property from a special "B" Residence District and Second Height and Area District to a "B" Residence District and Second Height and Area District be and is hereby recommended. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT By (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman. Chas. F.

The following report of the Board of Adjustment recommending a change in the Height and Area designation of the block bounded by West 22nd Street, Leon Street, San Gabriel Street, and West 23rd Street, was received and ordered filed: 946 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS # Austin, Texas February 6, 1947 946 Honorable Mayor and City Council Austin, Texas Gentlemen: It has been brought to the attention of the Board of Adjustment that there is a discrepancy in the zoning designation of property located in the block surrounded by West 22nd Street on the south, Leon Street on the west, San Gabriel Street on the east, and West 23rd Street on the north. The entire block is zoned as "B" Residence District but the south portion and a part of the east portion is designated as a Second Height and Area District and the remainder as a First Height and Area District as shown on the attached plat. The owner of two lots in this block is contemplating the construction of a large efficiency type apartment house and the size and number of apartments permitted in the section zoned as First Height and Area would be one- half that permitted in the Second Height and Area since each housekeeping unit in theapartment house is required to have a lot area of 2000 square feet in a First Height and Area District and only 1000 square feet in a Second Height and Area District. Since "B" Residence property is generally located in a Second Height and Area District, the Board considers the present zoning to be an error made when the Use designation of a portion of this block was changed but not the Height and Area designation, thereby causing a discrepancy, and voted, at a meeting on February 4, 1947, to recommend to the City Council that the portion of the block now in a First Height and Area District be changed to a Second Height and Area District to correct this error. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT By (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman. 特 Councilman Thornberry moved that a public hearing on a change in the Height and Area designation of the property described in the foregoing report of the Board of Adjustment be called for Thursday, February 27,1947, at 11:00 A.

There are nine intersections which, based on traffic counts by the Police Department, are in most need of automatic signal control. There are six or seven other intersections which are under study but which for various reasons require special timers and which will be reported to the Council at a later date. The nine which we believe to be the most important are as follows: LAMAR BOULEVARD at WEST 24TH STREET WALLER at EAST IST STREET LAVACA STREET at WEST 8TH STREET SOUTH CONGRESS AVENUE at ACADEMY DRIVE and NELLIE COURTS LAVACA STREET at WEST 15TH STREET - - - - - to be handled by overhead central signal light control. to be handled by overhead central signal light control to be handled by four-pole corner controls to be handled by overhead signal control to be handled by four-pole corner signal controls 948 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 948 CANADIAN STREET at EAST IST STREET - CHICON and EAST IST STREETS - LAVACA STREET at WEST 12TH STREET - GUADALUPE STREET at WEST 45TH STREET - to be handled by overhead central signal control to be handled by overhead central signal controls to be handled by four-pole corner signal controls to be handled by overhead central signal controls By tying some of these intersections to the timers where there are existing signals at an adjoining intersection, the estimated cost of the nine intersections listed amounts to $7,400.00, and no appropriation is needed as the funds are authorized in the budget. It is recommended that the Council grant authority to proceed with the signalizing of these intersections as quickly as the equipment can be delivered, which probably will be in about 90 days. When further intersection studies are completed, additional intersections to be signalized will be recommended to the City Council.
