Applicant: North Millican Referred to the Board by the City Council on July 8, 1948. II. Property affected: That portion now zoned "A" Residence District of a certain tract of land owned by North Millican, commonly known as Fountain Courts, and fronting 80 feet on Guadalupe Street and 170 feet on 30th Street, said tract extending from 30th Street in a northerly direction along a public alley west of Guadalupe Street a distance of 345 feet to a point at the extreme northwest corner of said tract; thence in an easterly direction 133 feet approximately parallel to 31st Street, thence southerly 40 feet, thence easterly 139 feet to Guadalupe Street, and along its frontage on Guadalupe Street, thence westerly approximately 278 feet, thence southerly approximately 225 feet to 30th Street and along its frontage on 30th Street a distance of 170 feet to the point of beginning at the intersection of 30th and the public alley referred to above. III. To be changed From : #Af Residence District and First Height and Area District To : C# Commercial District and First Height and Area District IV. Considered by the Board on: July 20, 1948 V. Parties appearing: For : North Millican Against: Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Felsing, Mrs. Mamie Smith, by Mrs. E.J. Matthews, A. M. Baxter for himself and Mrs.J.J.Hildinger, Herb Arend for his sister, Miss Regina Arend. 643 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS VI. Action of the Board: Change not recommended 1 For the following reasons: 1. This property is an L-shaped tract with a frontage of 80 feet on Guadalupe Street and 170 feet on West 30th Street, being approximately 225 feet north of 30th Street and 278 feet west of Guadalupe Street, the portion fronting on Guadalupe Street being zoned as #C-1 Commercial for a depth of 139 feet. 2. This property was originally developed by Mr. George H. Harrington in the form of a bungalow court erecting 19 small Normandy cottages with a private driveway giving access to West 30th Street and Guadalupe Street, which development substantially complied with the Zoning Ordinance as a residential development. At a hearing held by the Board a large number of adjacent and surrounding property owners were present, eight, or more than twenty per cent., of whom vigorously protested the change of this development into a tourist court, affirming that the present development was satisfactory and did not adversely affect their properties and did not disturb the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. 3. The property owners contended that the present development is not objectionable and should be maintained rather than changing the zone and further commercializing the property into a tourist court which they felt would be accompanied by some of the disturbing elements often connected with a tourist court, and that the present residential zone should be maintained as such. 4. The shape of this zone would also leave a small "A" Residence area between the present #C-1 District and the proposed #C# Commercial District fronting on 30th Street. 5. The Board deemed that to deny the change would not work any hardship on the owner who could maintain the existing development, which is not objectionable to the neighborhood, in accordance with the present zoning, but that to zone this L-shaped would not be sound zoning as it would leave a small strip fronting on 31st Street in an "A" Residence zone with two sides abutting on "0-1" and "C# Commercial zones and a small area fronting on 30th Street bounded on three sides by commercial zones. (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman. 10 Pursuant to published notice thereof, the public hearing on the application of North Millican to amend the Zoning Ordinance in the following particular : 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: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 644 That portion now zoned "A" Residence District of a certain tract of land owned by North Millican, commonly known as Fountain Courts, and fronting 80 feet on Guadalupe Street and 170 feet on 30th Street, said tract extending from 30th Street in a northerly direction along a public alley west of Guadalupe Street, a distance of 345 feet to a point at the extreme northwest corner of said tract, thence in an easterly direction 133 feet approximately parallel to 31st Street, thence southerly 40 feet, thence easterly 139 feet to Guadalupe Street and along its frontage on Guadalupe Street, thence westerly approximately 278 feet, thence southerly approxi- mately 225 feet to 30th Street and along its frontage on 30th Street a distance of 170 feet to the point of beginning at the intersection of 30th Street and the public alley referred to above, was duly opened. The following appeared and spoke for the change: North Millican plead for the change on the grounds that he wants to replace the Normandy Cottages there with modern tourist courts and better the existing conditions. The following appeared and opposed the change: W. A. Felsing, 3007 Washington Square, who stated that the area between 30th and 34th Streets and Guadalupe and San Gabriel Streets is one of homes and that this change will seriously depreciate their property; that the demand is for homes for citizens and not tourists; that he wants to keep the property he bought for a home and not allow encroachment of #CA Commercial; that he is pleading for the preservation of residential property not alone for this particular community but for the City of Austin as a whole. Mrs. J. J. Hildinger, who stated that her property is the first residential area west of Guadalupe Street and that the change would leave her in a spot zone; that she desires her property to remain Residence #Aff and does not want cf Commercial all around her. Mrs. T. N. Porter opposed the change on account of the noise that tourist courts would create. A petition, signed by a large number of property owners, protesting the change, was submitted. All property owners or other interested citizens having been given an opportunity to be heard, Councilman Johnson moved that the matter be taken under advisement for an inspection on the ground. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller Noes: None CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 645 Pursuant to published notice thereof, the public hearing on the application of Bessie Menem to amend the Zoning Ordinance in the following par- ticular : To amend the USE designation of the following described property so as to change the same from " Heavy Industrial District to either C-1 or C-2ff Commercial District, to-wit: Lot 6, Morsland Place, Outlot 11, Division "A", being located at the southeast corner of East 6th and Pedernales Streets, in the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, was duly opened. Those appearing for the change were: Emmett Shelton, Attorney, representing Bessie Menem, proponent, and Bessie Menem herself. Those appearing against the change were: Mrs. E. D. Nicholson, representing also Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Blakey, and Oscar Newberg, opposed the change on account of the noise. All property owners or other interested citizens having been given an opportunity to be heard, the matter was taken under advisement for an inspection on the ground. Action on the application of Henry Wendlandt for change in zoning, from A Residence District to #C# Commercial District of property located at East 12th Street and Singleton Avenue, the public hearing on which was held July 1, was postponed for an inspection of the property.

Bowles 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 "A" Residence District to #C# Commercial District, to-wit: Lots 4, 5, and 6, Block 3, Outlot 102, H.B. Seiders Subdivision, located on west side of 3900 block of Morningside Avenue, in the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, was duly opened, and the matter was postponed temporarily, with approval of proponents, until the matter of setbacks can be decided on. Two petitions of citizens on Chestnut Avenue north of Manor Road, asking that the name of Chestnut Avenue from Manor Road north be changed, one petition suggesting the name, "Manhaven Road,, and the other, "Cherrywood Road, were received. The matter was referred to the City Manager and the Director of Public Works for attention, and, if no objections to the change, to have the 646 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS resolution prepared granting the request. C. A. Wolfe, representing the Disabled Veterans of Foreign Wars, came before the Council and asked that the Mayor proclaim August 14 as V-J DAY. The request was granted. Senator Joe Hill appeared before the Council and registered opposition to the pending ordinance granting a 25-year extension of the franchise of the Texas Public Service Company before its expiration, and asked that final action on same be postponed to enable him to analyze the report of the Texas Public Service Company to determine why an extension of the franchise is necessary to issue $750,000 of bonds for extensions and betterments, and to submit an application for a franchise by certain clients of his. He was told to submit the application of his clients and same would be given consideration before final passage of the ordinance • The Mayor then called up for its second reading, the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO TEXAS PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY A FRANCHISE TO CONSTRUCT, MAINTAIN AND OPERATE A NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTING PLANT AND SYSTEM IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, AND PRESCRIBING THE TERMS, CONDITIONS, OBLIGATIONS AND LIMITATIONS UPON AND UNDER WHICH SUCH FRANCHISE SHALL BE EXERCISED.

The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes : Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller Noes : None The ordinance was then laid over for its third reading. City Manager Morgan submitted the final plans for the Coliseum, providing for both recreational and livestock facilities, together with a tabulation of bids received for the construction of same; and stated that he could not recommend acceptance of the plans and bids as he felt the citizens of Austin would be disappointed with the result and consider that same did not justify such large expenditure of funds. Committees from the Senior Chamber of Commerce, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Athletic Director of Veterans of Foreign Wars Organization, and others were present; and after some discussion of the plans and bids, said committees recommended that same be approved and the building be erected. It was then moved by Councilman Glass, seconded by Councilman Johnson, that the following bids for construction of the Coliseum, being Base with Steel Boiler, Animal Building, and P. A. System, be accepted as the lowest and best bids, and the City Manager be directed to enter into contracts accordingly: 64/ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS For General Construction: Ricks Construction Company, in the amount of $141,443.00; For Plumbing: Bradshaw and Puryear, in the amount of For Heating: Bradshaw and Puryear in the amount of For Electrical: , - $ 10,072.00; $ 14,429.00; $ 17,834.00. 647 Nozick Electric Company, in the amount of The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller Noes: None The application of A.

The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller Noes: None The application of S. T. Wells and W. W. Patterson for change in zoning, from A# Residence District to #C# Commercial District, of the south 52 of Lot 4, and the north 76 of Lot 5, Block V, Ridgetop Fourth Addition, located on East Avenue, was received.

The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller Noes: None The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: #ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AUSTIN, TEXAS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION. Applicant: W. E. Long 648 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 648 I. Referred to the Board by the City Council on: July 15, 1948 II. Property affected: Lot 3, Block 2, Silliman Subdivision, Outlot 5, Division Z, being located on the south side of West llth Street between Baylor Street and Lamar Boulevard. III. To be changed From : dd Residence District and Second Height and Area District To : "C# Commercial District and Second Height and Area District IV. Considered by the Board on: July 27, 1948 V. Parties appearing: For; W. E. Long Against: None VI. Action of the Board: Change recommended For the following reasons: 1. The applicant is requesting the change to permit the development of this lot in connection with his two lots adjacent to Lamar Boulevard on the grounds that this additional commercial area would provide more parking area to lessen traffic congestion on Lamar Boulevard. 2. The normal commercial district along a street or highway is 150 feet to 300 feet in depth and, in this instance, the depth of the zone is only 100 feet, which was due to the fact that when Lamar Boulevard was widened the City acquired one lot in this block adjoining the old Ruiz Street, and as the western line of the district is shown to be the center of the block, there remains a narrower strip of commercial property than would otherwise have existed. 3. The Board deemed that this depth is not in harmony with the general depth of commercial property and does not permit the proper development of the property for modern commercial establishments, and that the extension of the commercial zone to include the additional lot would not adversely affect the remaining property in the block and would tend to relieve traffic congestion by providing off-street parking which is one of the goals that all cities are striving for. (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman. f Councilman Glass moved that a public hearing on the above change in zoning be called for Thursday, August 19, 1948, at 11:00 A. M. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller Noes: None 617 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: #ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AUSTIN, TEXAS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION 649 Applicant: Rogan B. Giles and H. H. Lenthe. I. Referred to the Board by the City Council on: March 25,1948, and April 27, 1948 II. Property affected: A 5.6 acre tract out of Outlot 35, Division C, located on the west side of Airport Boulevard between Manor Road and East 382 Street; a l acre tract out of Outlot 35, Division C, located on the west side of Airport Boulevard and bounded by East 382 Street on the south and Alexander Avenue on the west; and a tract fronting 1196.10 feet on the east side of Airport Boulevard north of Manor Road for a depth of 200 feet. III. To be changed From: A Residence District and First Height and Area District To : C# Commercial District and First Height and Area District IV. Considered by the Board on: April 6, 1948, and July 27, 1948 ν. Parties appearing: For : H. H. Lenthe and Bascom Giles Against: None. Mrs. Neanette Giles Wilkes appeared but filed no objection. VI. Action of the Board: Change recommended. For the following reasons: 1. These applications are for change of zoning on a tract of land fronting approximately 1248 feet on the west side of Airport Boulevard north of Manor Road for a depth of approximately 250 feet, including a triangular tract north of 38 Street, and a tract fronting 1196.10 feet on the east side of Airport Boulevard north of Manor Road for a depth of approximately 200 feet. 2. These tracts lie under a flight zone of the Austin Municipal Airport, which has a glide angle of 1:50. This would result in a height of the flight line at the intersection of Airport Boulevard and Manor Road of 40 feet on the basis of this property being on the same level as the Airport. The topography of this area, however, shows that this property is slightly lower than the Airport, which would result in a somewhat higher altitude of the flight line over this tract. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 650 3. The Board deemed that in view of the fact that this property lies in the flight zone with a comparatively low flight line, the property is not as desirable for residential development as other prop- erty lying outside of the flight zone, and further that the size of the tracts will permit the development of a modern Community Center providing considerable off-street parking, which would relieve the traffic congestion on Airport Boulevard and thus serve a rapidly developing section of the City. If this property is zoned for commer- cial purposes it should remain in a First Height and Area District to provide the minimum setback of 25 feet required by the Ordinance for all buildings to be erected thereon and thus provide for some off-street parking in front of buildings. (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman. A Councilman Glass moved that a public hearing on the above change in zoning be called for Thursday, August 19, 1948, at 11:00 A. M.

A copy of the tabulation of bids is attached herewith. Subject to the approval of your body, the Commissioners Court has tentatively awarded the contract to the low bidder, Mr. Luther A. Turner of Cuero. Mr. Turner had the contract for the construction of the Lamar bridge here and now has the contract for the Pedernales River bridge on R.M. 93. He is considered to be one of the best bridge contractors in the State and his bid was only $2,664.77 above our engineer's estimate, which is considered to be very good under present conditions.
