The following memorandum was submitted by the City Manager: Memorandum to ; Guiton Morgan, City Manager "June 19, 1947. Memorandum from: J. E. Motheral, Director of Public Works. The final subdivision plat of Northvale, Section 1, has been completed and was approved by the Planning Commission on May 29, 1947. The subdivider has deposited $1800.00 to cover installation of sewers and water. Storm sewer and street costs are estimated at $3975.00, leaving an uncovered balance of $2175.00. The subdivider insists that the plan be presented to the City Council but funds have not been deposited to cover these costs and we are unable to recommend formal acceptance of the plat by the City Council. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1369 Arrangements have been made for extension of gas mains, and sanitary sewers are not available. # The Director of Public Works reported that the subdivider has since complied with all requirements of the City with reference to the filing of plats, and recommended that said plat be formally accepted.

II. 1371 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: "ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AUSTIN, TEXAS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION Applicant : Edwin M. Dezendorf Referred to the Board by the City Council on : June 5, 1947 Property affected: A 244x300 tract of land being located at the southeast corner of Manor Road and Maple Avenue 1371 III. To be changed From : To IV. V. VI. "A" Residence District : "C" Commercial District Considered by the Board on : June 17, 1947 Parties appearing: For : Edwin M. Dezendorf Against: Mrs. Charles Greer, Lloyd W. Taylor, Harry Hall, Frank Kriegel, H. W. Ely, Clarence Malmquist, Mrs. W. R. Moon, and E. J. Moberg, for himself and Vernon Cook. Action of the Board : Change not recommended For the following reasons: 1. This application is for a change in the Use designation of the tract of land to permit its sale for commercial purposes, either to the Pepsicola people or for the construction of a future community center, but not for any immediate development by the applicant. 2. There is a commercial zone now on both sides of Manor Road which extends from East Avenue to Chestnut Avenue, and if the property in question is zoned for "C" Commercial uses there will be a skip of one block between the existing business zone and the new zone, thereby creating a Community Center on the property now proposed to be zoned in which a bottling works would not be permitted since this use is only permitted in a commercial district which measures more than 900 feet, including streets and alleys, or an industrial district. In addition to the intervening Residence "A" block there is also a small triangular strip between the east line of Maple Avenue and the above tract fronting 37 feet on Manor Road and extending back 1372 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1372 approximately 300 feet which would have no value for residence purposes since there would not be a sufficient build- able area for a residence. 3. The original zoning map of the City of Austin shows this property to be in a "C" Commercial District and the revised maps show all the property from Chestnut Avenue east to the railroad to be in an "A" Residence District. An inspection of the site discloses the fact that there are now a number of residences existing in the immediate vicinity of this property. 4. A number of the property owners living in this vicinity and owning property in this area protest this change and plead for the preservation of the residential character of this neighborhood. 5. A request for a change of zoning on property to the east of this location was made in 1938 but was not recommended by the Board or approved by the City Council after protest from adja cent property owners. 6. The majority of property along Manor Road now zoned for commercial uses is undeveloped for that purpose at this time and provides ample space for business expansion necessary to serve the needs of this area. 7. When the new Houston highway is completed connecting with the Airport Boulevard north of the City, traffic on Manor Road will be much less than at present, thereby lessening the need. for additional commercial development but enhancing the desir ability for residential development along this road. (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman. 11 Councilman Glass moved that a public hearing on the foregoing application for change in zoning be called for Thursday, July 10, 1947, at 11:00 A. M. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller, Councilman Thornberry Noes: None Absent: Councilman Bartholomew The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: "Austin, Texas June 19, 1947 Honorable Mayor and City Council Austin, Texas Gentlemen: With reference to the referral to the Zoning Board of Adjustment by the City Council, dated March 20, 1947, of the application of Mr. and Mrs.M.C. Moore and Frank Reeder for a change in the zoning of property located at the 1373 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1373 northeast corner of East Ist and Tillery Streets, having a frontage of 150 feet on East Ist Street and 167 feet on Tillery Street, as shown on the attached plat, the Board wishes to call your attention to the fact that the Board has previously recommended to the City Council that the property in this part of the City be zoned as an industrial district to accommodate the growing demand for industrial property at reasonable prices, and deems that this area will eventually all be developed for industrial purposes as it is the most logical section of the City for such expansion and is so designated on the master plan of the City. The property proposed to be changed at this time is included in this area and the Board is, therefore, recommending to the City Council that the change from "C" Commercial District to "D" Industrial District be made. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT By (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman.

G.
