1342 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting June 12, 1947 9:40 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall 1342 The meeting was called to order, with Mayor Miller presiding. Roll call Present: Absent : Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Thornberry - 5 None Present also: Guiton Morgan, City Manager, J. E. Motheral, Director of Public Works; Trueman E. O'Quinn, City Attorney; and R. D. Thorp, Chief of Police. The reading of the Minutes was dispensed with. The Mayor announced that the first order of business would be to hear Chas. Granger, part-time consultant to the City Plan Commission, and any other citizens present, on the proposal of the School Board that the City Council convey to them property at the corner of 28 Street and Lamar Boulevard as a site for a Junior High School to serve West Austin; said proposal being included in the School Board's 20-year program for schools. Mr. Granger then expressed his opposition to the proposed site for the school on the grounds that it would throw off-balance the City Plan for the development of a neighborhood community unit; that the school should be located considerably to the west nearer the center of the school population; that it is on a main traffic artery and dangerous to students; that it would congest the flow of traffic; and due to its topography, would be definitely restricted. Dr. Frederick Eby, Dr. Newman, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. William J. Byles, and other property owners in the area, indorsed the opposition expressed by Mr. Granger; and asked that the site be made into a park instead. Following the discussion, in which all present were given an opportunity to be heard on the matter, the Mayor announced that the City Council would take no action until it has gone into the matter thoroughly and heard from the School Board on the proposition. 1343 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1343 Mr. A. S. Hull, representing a number of boat owners and property owners on Lake Austin, came before the Council and asked that the City give them some relief from the nuisance caused by the growth of weeds in the Lake. It was the sense of the Council that the City Manager be authorized to buy another boat, if same can be bought at a reasonable price, to replace the police patrol boat that has been used for cutting the weeds, and grant the relief asked for. Judge H. E. Wassell submitted to the Council a petition signed by a number of property owners living on Summit Street and adjacent block thereto, asking for a sewer line and a larger water main from Riverside Drive along Summit Street to Taylor Gaines Street, a distance of four blocks. Petitioner was advised that the petition would be given due consideration, an estimate of the cost of the work and the number of houses to be served would be made, and something done for them as soon as possible. The public hearing on the application of the Austin Transit, Inc., for an increase in its bus fares, was duly opened. The following appeared and were heard on the matter: Dr. E. H. Givens, representing the Negro Chamber of Commerce, registered opposition to the increase because of inadequate bus service to East Austin and the high cost of living, but stated that if they could be assured of better service, they would probably be willing to the increase. Their request for an extension of the bus line east to Airport Boulevard, or at least to Harvey Street and on to 19th Street, was referred to the Austin Transit, Inc. ; A petition signed by a large mumber of persons, presented by Mrs. Ed Nicholson, asking for an extension of bus service closer to East 4th, East 5th, East 6th - 1700 to 2600 blocks - Hidalgo, Diaz, Gonzales, and Northwester Avenue, and surrounding smaller streets, was submitted. Petitioner stated that these citizens would be willing to the increase if this request were granted ; Bascom Giles, also speaking for Landon Bradfield, declared that they were in favor of the increase if it would mean better bus service. Following the hearing, in which all present were given an opportunity to be heard on the matter, it was the general sense of those present that the increase be granted if assurance is given that there will be more busses and better service. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the public hearing on the application of O. J. Hinton to amend the Zoning Ordinance in the following par ticulars: To amend the USE designation of the following described property so as to change the same from "A" Residence District to #C# Commercial District, to-wit: A tract of land 200 feet wide along North Loop Boulevard and adjoining property of State of Texas for a distance of 265.12 feet, such tract being 109 feet wide at the rear and being bound on the west by a 40-foot drainage easement in the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, 1344 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1344 was duly opened. No property owner or other interested citizen appeared to protest the change. Thereupon Councilman Bartholomew moved that the recommendation of the Board of Adjustment be sustained and the change be granted, and the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the ordinance accordingly. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Thornberry Noes: None Pursuant to published notice thereof, the public hearing on the application of Mrs. Bessie Menem to amend the Zoning Ordinance in the following particulars : To amend the USE designation of the following described property so as to change the same from "E" Heavy Industrial District to "C1" Commercial District: Lot 6, Morsland Place, Outlot ll, Division "A", being located at the southeast corner of East 6th and Perdenales Streets, in the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, was duly opened. The following property owners appeared in opposition to the change: Mrs. Clara Boyd and Mrs. Ed Nicholson, the latter submitting a petition signed by the whole community protesting the change on account of the noise, confusion, and traffic hazard created thereby. No other property owner or interested person desiring to be heard, Councilman Johnson moved that the hearing be closed and the recommendations of the Board of Adjustment be sustained and the change be not granted. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Thornberry Noes : None Pursuant to published notice thereof, the public hearing on the application of Ted Deison to amend the Zoning Ordinance in the following particu- lars: To amend the USE designation of the following described property so as to change the same from "A" Residence District to "C" Commercial District, to-wit: ۱ A portion of Lot ll, Block B, Jas.E.Bouldin Addition, being located at the southwest corner of Fredericksburg Road and Bluff Street, facing 213.8 feet on Fredericksburg Road and 193.75 feet on Bluff Street, in the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, was duly opened. 1345 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1345 The proponent, Ted Deison, appeared in behalf of his application, stating that the property by being situated lower than the surrounding property was not suitable for residential purposes and that the adjacent property is zoned as Commercial "C". No property owner or interested person appeared to protest the change. Action on the matter was deferred, pending an inspection of the property on the ground by the Council. The hearing on the application of Mr. and Mrs. Serapio Sanchez for a change in zoning, from "A" Residence to "C" Commercial, of property known as 2101 and 2103 Canterbury Street, continued from the regular meeting of May 29, was re-opened. Judge D. J. Pickle, Attorney for Applicants, asked for the change on the grounds that the building at 2103 Canterbury was used for considerable time as a store, but, later, on account of the housing shortage, was converted to residential use, and that Applicants are now asking that its use as a store building be resumed. No additional protests against the change were submitted. Thereupon Mayor Miller moved that inasmuch as the premises were used for a store prior to the enactment of the Zoning Ordinance, the change be granted; and the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the ordinance accordingly. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Thornberry Noes: None The application of Simon Botello for change in zoning, from "A" to "C" Commercial, of Lots 7, 8, 9, and 10, Block 10, South Heights Addition, was received.

II. 1346 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS "ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AUSTIN, TEXAS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION Applicant: Forest Trafton Referred to the Board by the City Council on : May 29, 1947 Property affected: The north 48-5/6 feet of Lot 3, Block 6, Henry B. Seiders Subdivision, being located at the southeast corner of West 40th Street and Alice Avenue. III. To be changed From : "A" Residence District To : "C" Commercial District Considered by the Board on: June 10, 1947 IV. V. Parties appearing: VI. 1346 For : Forest Trafton Against: Mrs. A. L. Nelson, 3919 Alice Avenue; Mr. and Mrs. Edgar McCann, 3921 Alice Avenue Action of the Board: Change not recommended For the following reasons: 1. The applicant affirms that he proposes to erect a stucco over steel frame building for the operation of a tile contracting business consisting of a display room in front and a warehouse in the rear of the building. He further affirms that there would be three trucks operating from the business on the 40th Street side and that no fabrication work would be done here. 2. Property on the west side of Alice Avenue was recently changed to "C" Commercial District because of two non-conforming buildings and business establishments which have been in operation for many years. 3. The property proposed to be changed at this time is located at an intersection of three streets where Alice Avenue is joined by Marathon Boulevard at West 40th Street and where traffic is very heavy and congested at this turn. 4. Adjacent property owners appeared protesting the change on the grounds that this block has been developed for residential purposes, with the exception of this one lot, that the type of business would 1347 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1347 not be beneficial to the neighborhood as the grocery store and washerteria across the street, that there is a bus stop at this corner and a business establishment would cause more of a traffic hazard in an already dangerous area, and that the change would destroy the value of their property as homes. 5. The Board deemed that this change would be for the benefit of one property owner and not in response to any public demand or necessity, and that the type of business proposed by the applicant could not be considered local or a community activity serving a definite neighborhood need, as it could be located in any part of the City in a proper district to serve the entire City. (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman # Councilman Bartholomew moved that a public hearing on the above matter be set for Thursday, July 3, 1947, at the request of applicant. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller and Councilman Thornberry Noes: None The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received and ordered filed: "ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AUSTIN, TEXAS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION I. II. Applicants: Mr. and Mrs. John L. Green et al Referred to the Board by City Council on: May 22, 1947 Property affected: Lots 1 to 11, inclusive, Outlots 6, 7, and 8, Division "Z", Enfield "X", being located on the east side of Parkway between Enfield Road and the south line of Pease Park III. To be changed From : "B" Residence District and First Height and Area District To : "A" Residence District and First Height and Area District, Considered by the Board on : June 10, 1947 IV. 7. Parties appearing: For : Mr. John L. Green, Mrs. Vincent Newman, Mr.R. Pearson, and Mr. S. G. Kingsbury Against: None 1348 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1348 VI. Action of the Board: Change recommended For the following reasons: 1. Property owners appearing for the change affirm that they built their homes in this block with the understanding that it was a residential district and that this is a quiet street, that there are now doctors' offices and clinics south of this area and they do not want this type of use or other uses permitted in a "B" Residence District to extend any farther north but would rather keep the area a home neighborhood. 2. Mr. J. H. Baugh affirmed that he had sold his property in this area and had no further interest in this lot. Mrs. E.C. McCarty, who bought this property, appeared and said she had planned to erect a home and possibly a garage apartment on the property and would not want the zone changed to prohibit this development, and that she had no intention of violating the Zoning Ordinance. 3. The Board deemed that since the majority of property owners in this area requested the change, which would be changing the zoning designation to a higher classification, no one would be adversely affected by the change and the "A" Residence classification would be more in keeping with the existing development on the property. "Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman # Councilman Bartholomew moved that a public hearing on the above matter be set for Thursday, July 3, 1947, at 11:00 A. M. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Thornberry Noes: None The following report of the Board of Adjustment on the application of J. Richard Wilkerson for change in zoning of property located on the west side of Shirley Avenue between Gaylor Street and Williams Street, was received and ordered filed: "ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AUSTIN, TEXAS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION Applicant: J. Richard Wilkerson I. Referred to the Board by the City Council on : May 29, 1947 II Property affected: Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block C, of Plaza Place, being located on the west side of Shirley Avenue between Gaylor Street and Williams Street. 1349 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1349 III. To be changed IV. V. VI. From : "A" Residence District To : "C" Commercial District Considered by the Board on : June 10, 1947 Parties appearing: For : J. Richard Wilkerson, A. M. Felts, and S.R. Fulmore Against: Chas. F. Herring for Mrs. Claudia T. Johnson Action of the Board : Change not recommended For the following reasons: 1. The applicants affirm that this change is requested for the purpose of locating a furniture warehouse adjacent to property fronting on the Georgetown Road which is already des- ignated as a "C" Commercial District in which the warehouse would be permitted. 2. Chas. F. Herring, for Mrs. Johnson, appeared protesting the change on the grounds that her property is located across Shirley Avenue from the applicant's lots at the corner of Williams Street and that the change would destroy the value of her property for residential uses, and further stated that property owners along the highway were given an opportunity to ask for certain zoning when the area was zoned after being taken into the City, and that if this change is made there will be further requests for extension of the present "C" Commercial zone by small areas, which would destroy the residential character of the subdivision. 3. The subdivision plat as approved by the City Planning Commission shows a commercial designation on the property along Georgetown Road and no other portion of the subdivision. 4. The present industrial area in this vicinity is property along the railroad and a portion of which was already developed for industrial purposes prior to its annexation to the City. 5. The Board deemed that the request for three lots in the center of a block is more in the nature of a spot zone for the benefit of one property owner and not in response to public demand or necessity since there is ample property zoned for the proposed business along the highway which was given its present designation after careful study and hearings at which property owners were given an opportunity to voice their zoning preferences. (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman 1350 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1350 Councilman Bartholomew moved that at the request of the applicant, a public hearing on the above matter be set for Thursday, July 3, 1947, at 11:00 A.

The City Manager advised Petitioners that an appropriation of $22,000.00 was included in this year's budget for a 12-inch water line in that area, which will put more pressure in the water tower of said District, and that the construction of same was being delayed due to strikes in the pipe factory. Petitioners were further advised that this was all the relief that could be given them until such time as the City sees fit to take over said Water District. Dr. E. H. Givens, Colored, submitted requests for (1) a fire station for East Austin, to be manned by Negroes; (2) more police protection, especially at Rosewood Park, for Nineteenth of June celebration; (3) street light at West Annie and Newton Streets; and (4) increased sewer facilities for East Austin.

Moore of Seguin, requesting that a young lady of Austin be selected to represent this City in the Bathing Revue to be staged at Seguin on July 4th, was received; and the matter was referred to the Recreation Department for attention.
