A. O. RAST, 3105 French Place, Field Secretary of Missions for the Texas District of the Luthern Church appeared before the Council in the interest of getting the church property where he lives placed on the tax exemption list, as his home is used as an office and meeting place for the different churches in his district. The City Attorney stated the law on this covered the church property and home for a minister of that particular congregation, and that property was limited to one acre; and that the property must be used as an actual place of worship or school. Councilman Drake suggested that there be no discrepancies and that all cases be handled on the same basis. Councilman Drake then moved that a survey be made of all church and educational property with a view of determining from a simple questionnaire as to what the status of the property is, who owns it, who occupies it, and how it is used, and that this questionnaire be answered by a person in authority of the property; and that this information be placed in the records of the Tax Office, and exemptions allowed or disallowed on the basis of thisinformation. Councilman Johnson seconded the motion, and it carried by the following vote: 676 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 696 Ayes: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, Long, Mayor Glass Noes: None Absent: Councilman MacCorkle With reference to the property at 3105 French Place, it was stated that this would be held in abeyance until the survey was completed, and it was hoped it could be completed by February. MR. KENNETH DAVIS appeared before the Council reviewing his claim for damages of his property at the Intersection of the Interregional Highway and Reinli and Clayton Lane. He stated he had asked for a zoning change on his property that would allow him to build to the property line, and the request never went through until all of the Highway was zoned, and it was included in that zoning providing a 25' set-back. This set-back, agreed to by him at the hearing, did eliminate three buildings on his property. He felt if the Council had accepted his zoning request to change his property so he could build on the property line, he would not have been damaged. The Mayor stated no promises had bee made regarding any zoning, and that t is property was already in a 25' set-back area; and that there was a thorough understanding at the time of the zoning to commercial, that there would be this 25 set-back. The City Manager stated there was no legal obligation on the part of the City; that Mr. Davis had agreed to that, but that Mr. Davis felt that a personal consideration should be made on his claim. He set about $700.00 as his claim. Councilman Drake moved that no damages be allowed on the request of Mr. Davis as there was no legal obligation on the part of the City.
