The following proponents of the change appeared and plead for the change substantially as follows: MRS. JOHN L. GREEN, S. G. KINGSBURY, LOUIS L. HIRSCHFELD, and others, who asked that the change be granted in order that surrounding property may not be turned into boarding houses and rooming houses for University of Texas students; that when they bought their property they were lead to believe there were deed restrictions making it strictly residential; and that they had invested in homes there and wanted to keep it strictly for that. The following opponents of the change appeared and plead that the change be denied on the following grounds: Mr. and Mrs. H. E. McCardy, who stated that they bought their property in "B" Residence zone for a home and also for income property by renting, rooms later and perhaps building a garage apartment on part of it; and that they had invested all they had in this property, with this in view. Following the discussion, Mayor Miller asked the proponents of the change if they would agree to having their property changed to "A" Residence District and leave the property of Mr. and Mrs. Mcßardy zoned as "B" Residence, and they replied that they would not. No other property owners or interested persons desiring to be heard, Councilman Glass moved that the hearing be closed, and the change be denied.

The north 48-5/6 feet of Lot 3, Block 6, Henry B. Sieders Subdivision, being located at the southeast corner of 40th Street and Alice Avenue, in the City of Austin, Texas, Arthur Bagby, Attorney, spoke for the change on the grounds that property at this particular location is commercial property as Alice Avenue 1415 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1415 will be a main business thoroughfare; that none of the immediate neighbors object to the tile store building to be erected there as there will be no noise or manufacturing process Mrs. A. L. Nelson, 3919 Alice Avenue, objected to the change on the grounds that this is a residential district and Mr. Trafton knew this when he bought his property; that the trucks which he proposes to operate there will be a traffic hazard to their grade school children. A petition signed by a large number of property owners in the vicinity objecting to the change was also received. The attorney for proponent, Mr. Bagby, then stated that in view of the opposition presented, his client asked to withdraw his application; and the application was thereupon withdrawn.

Chas. Herring, Attorney for Claude Johnson, objected to the change on the grounds that the value of his client's property as residential would be completely destroyed if a warehouse is built across the street. J. K. Dismukes and Mr. McVey also opposed the change, Mr. Dismukes objecting on account of the dust which would be detrimental to his paint shop. Judge Phelps then asked to withdraw the application of his client and re-submit same later. The request was granted.

I. Referred to the Board by the City Council on : March 13, 1947 II. Property affected: Lot 6 and the north 10 feet of Lot 7, Block 48, Outlet 24, Christian and Fellman Addition, being located at the southwest corner of East 24th and Swisher Streets and known as 805 and 807 East 24th Street. III. To be changed From: "A" Residence District To : "B" Residence District IV. Considered by the Board on: March 25, 1947, and on April 7, 1947, after being postponed at the request of the applicant's attorneys. V. Parties appearing: For : W. R. Smith, Jr., and E. J. Hood, and Louis D. Kubecka Against: E. L. Avery, Jr., D. E. McArthur and C. H. Leinbach, Jr., and a large number of property owners represented by Wm. Trenckmann, Attorney. VI. Action of the Board: Change not recommended For the following reasons: 1. The property to be changed consists of one lot and 10 feet of another lot and is located at the southwest corner of East 24th and Swisher Streets, being separated from a "B" Residence District on the west by one-half block of "A" 1427 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1422 Residence property, the applicant also owning the lot immediately across the alley from the property in question. 2. The applicant is requesting the change of this property to permit the erection of a four-unit apartment house. 3. This property is a single lot under single ownership and its change would create a spot zone with no relation to the surrounding property and not in accord with any comprehensive zoning plan. 4. The area between Red River Street and East Avenue, and 19th Street and 32nd Street, is now a patchwork of zoning districts and another spot zone unrelated to any general scheme or plan for the area would add to the unsound zoning of this area.
