382 382 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting March 23, 1950 10:00 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall The meeting was called to order with Mayor Glass presiding. Roll Call: Present: Councilmen Drake, Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, Mayor Glass Absent: None Present also: Guiton Morgan, City Manager; Trueman E. O'Quinn, City Attorney; C. G. Levander, Director of Public Works; Dr. Ben Primer, City Health Officer; R. D. Thorp, Chief of Police; Beverly Sheffield, Director of Recreation; Charles Granger, Planning Consultant. Councilman Johnson moved that since copies of the minutes of the last meeting of the City Council have been furnished Council members by the City Clerk, the reading of the minutes be dispensed with and that the minutes be adopted as read in the Clerk's report. Upon being duly seconded by Councilman Long, the motion was unanimously adopted by the Council and the minutes so approved. MR. POLK SHELTON presented petitions from the SOUTH AUSTIN CIVIC CLUB and SOUTH AUSTIN LION'S CLUB asking the City Council to include in the next bond issue to be voted upon by the citizens of Austin, the question of issuing bonds in the sum of $500,000.00, for the purpose of widening the bridge and approaches to such bridge now over the Colorado River on Congress Avenue. The Council thanked Mr. Shelton and the two organizations for their interest and stated they would see what could be done when this bond matter was gone into. The City Manager submitted the following proposal and recommendation to the Council: "I recommend that the City purchase the West 106' of the South of Lot 10 and the West 106' of Lots 11 and 12, Block 3, Hyde Park Annex with all improvements for $8,000.00 from MRS. GUNDA DEWITT. JEAN R. HANELINE and W. T. HANELINE. 323 383 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS "It is necessary that we obtain this property in order that full use be obtained from the culvert which is now being constructed on Speedway north of 45th Street. Mrs. DeWitt has consistently refused to grant us an easement to widen Waller Creek which runs through her property giving as her reason that if the creek is widened she would be unable to make full use of the Lot (No. 11) on which her house now stands. "There is some merit to her argument and I believe that if we purchase this property, move the house about 15' south and widen the creek as we have planned, the remaining property can be resold at no great loss to the City." The City Manager concurred in the recommendation of Director of Public Works above. Councilman Long then offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That Guiton Morgan, City Manager, be and he is hereby authorized to purchase from Mrs. GUNDA DEWITT, JEAN R. HANELINE and W. T.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the sum of Eight Thousand Dollars ($8000.00) be, and the same is hereby, appropriated out of the General Fund not otherwise appropriated to pay for such property, and that upon conveyance of good title to the above described property, such consideration may be paid.

COUNCILMAN WILL JOHNSON, as Trustee of the Church, stated the membership was opposed to the change. DR. LORA LEE stated she represented several property owners who favored the change--GEORGE BEST, H. L. SPILLAR, ERNEST GUAJARDO, ALBERTO ALMANZA, and another. The Council decided to postpone action on this until the following Thursday so that the members could make a personal inspection of the property. BILL PAPPAS 1809 San Jacinto : From "C" Commercial To "C-2" Commercial NOT RECOMMENDED by the Zoning Board of Adjust- ment. MR. PAUL HOLT, representing Mr. Pappas, asked that hearing on this application be postponed until next Thursday. The Council reset the hearing for this date, March 30, 1950. DR. BEN PRIMER, CITY HEALTH OFFICER, submitted a survey on Pit Toilets as follows: "At the request of Mayor Glass, a survey has been made to determine the number of pit toilets in the City of Austin and to divide these into those existing where sewer lines are available and those where there are no sewer lines available. A house to house survey was made of the entire area from the river to East 19th Street andfrom East Avenue to the city limits. In addition, other known areas where pit toilets are concentrated were surveyed. We are preparing a detailed description of these areas in order that further study may be made to determine the feasibility of extending sewers to accomodate those areas where no sewers are available and to determine if some method of financing could be instituted which would assist the owners of this property to connect to the sewer. "We would also like to point out that in this survey the existence of pit toilets is shown in some instances where a connection to the sewer has been made Since this survey was for the purpose of sanitation, as long as the existing pit toilet has not been removed there still remains the hazard of transmission CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 398 398 of diseases through flies and filth. These are being noted and the owners have been given notices to remove the toilet and fill the pit. 5 "The survey shows that there is a total of 284 pit toilets in Austin and that 338 of these are available to the sewer and 246 are not available to the sewer. "Due to recent sewer extensions, some areas noted as having pit toilets are in the process of connecting to the sewer. Practically everyone of these owners have been notified that the pit toilet they have exists in violation of city ordinances. "In the area on the Middle Fiskville Road between 52nd Street and 56th Street, there are quite a number of pit toilets, and it is our understanding that a sewer extension could not be made without the installation of a lift station.. Many of these houses are substandard and are scarcely worth the cost of installing plumbing facilities. "In cooperation with University officials, the conditions which have previously been referred to on the Brackenridge Tract are being corrected and all tenants are being given notices that a sewer connection or septic tank must be installed. There are nine places in that area that do not meet standards. "It is our recommendation that the Council study the feasibility of amending the city ordinances to where a Building Permit will not be issued in the city limits of Austin unless the sewer is available, or a septic tank will be installed. We shall continue to use every means possible to secure sewer connections where sewers are available and to see that pit toilets not available to the sewer are kept as sanitary as possible." MR. M. H. CROCKETT was interested in sewers in the area on East 53 & 56th Streets, and inquired if he could put in a lift and sewer extensions. In the discussion it was brought out the number of pit toilets were decreasing, and that from now on every subdivider should be required to at least put in the lateral system before the subdivision was approved. Stricter enforcement of the present ordinances, septic tanks with reference to different types of soil, the amount of money needed for sewage, and requiring new construction to at least have septic tanks, were all discussed. The Council decided to study the ordinance with the view of improvements, and asked the City Attorney to see what could be done to eliminate pit toilets and tie them into septic tanks or sewers. MR. E. L. BAUKNIGHT, representing the Automobile Dealers Association appeared before the Council stating that the Automobile Dealers felt that the requirement of a ton and a half wrecker was too high in the ordinance passed, and asked that the ordinance be amended so that 3/4 ton wreckers could be used in running wrecks. The City Attorney was instructed to write up an amendment and submit to the Council.
