Austin tackles growth, new traffic rules & river plans

Thursday, June 7, 1951 regular
  • Major Urban Planning Initiatives:

    The city is looking ahead with plans to construct a detailed scale model of the Colorado Riverfront area to guide future development, and will be restructuring its Zoning and Planning Commission for better urban management.
  • Addressing Traffic and Community Safety:

    A new citizen's committee will be formed to tackle Austin's growing traffic and safety problems, alongside amendments to existing traffic ordinances.
  • Public Health and Housing Regulations:

    New rules were established for trailer courts, allowing operators to rent only to trailers with self-contained sanitary facilities, thereby easing requirements for communal restrooms.
  • Infrastructure & Land Acquisition:

    The Council addressed immediate needs like extending storm sewers and paving dusty streets, and authorized negotiations to purchase land at Dry Creek—a move that could settle a dam-related flooding lawsuit and provide new recreational access.

CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 434 434 MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting June 07, 1951 10:00 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall The meeting was called to order with Mayor Drake presiding. Roll Call: Present: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Absent: None Present also: Walter E. Seaholm, City Manager; Trueman E. O'Quinn, City Attorney; C. G. Levander, Director of Public Works; R. D. Thorp, Chief of Police Councilman MacCorkle 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. DAVID CARSON submitted a petition asking that the City annex certain property in the Colorado School District, so that the children could have free public school education through high school, and that the development of the prop erty could be planned properly. The Council received the petition and it was the general idea that something could be started on this request, as well as other recent requests to be brought into the City limits, right away. A petition filed by MR. HERBERT W. HELEMAN, 1403 East 34th Street, was read by MR. GLENN EVANS, 1408 E. 34th, asking that the City extend the storm sewer now running from East Avenue to Warner Street, to Kern Ramble. He explained the situation existing. The City Manager stated that an open ditch took care of the drainage up to a certain point; but as this subdivision developed and streets were paved, the water would gush in faster than this ditch could handle during rainy seasons. The city had asked the property owners to participate in a storm sewer project, but some would not; and the City Manager said he would recommend that the City go ahead with this storm sewercat an estimated cost of about $12,000 to $15,000; and that plans were about read to submit to the Council on this. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 435 435 MR. ROLF A. GOETH presented a petition asking the City not to spend any money other than what would be necessary for police services on the visit of General MacArthur to Austin, June 13th. Councilman Long made a statement that if Mr. MacArthur's visit has any political aspect, that she would not want to lend her support to anything that he might say or do; but as a citizen coming to Austin, he certainly deserved a welcome. MR. H. P. ALLEN appeared before the Council asking that the ordinance pertaining to trailer courts and tourist courts be amended, so that trailer court operators could rent only to trailers with their own sanitary facilities installed so that they could be connected to sewer lines. If this amendment could be passed, operators of this type of trailer court would not be required to construcs the required restrooms and showers. Only trailers with their own facilities would be permitted in this type of court. Councilman Long moved that the City Attorney be im tructed to draw up an amendment to the present ordinance to include this Class A-l type of trailer park with facilities to make sewer connections to trailers. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None MR. ROSWELL MILLER made inquiry about a $100.00 refund he thought was due him on a sewer contract on Churchill Drive, which contract was made in July, 1940. The City Manager explained these contracts were made for a period of five years, where the City was to refund $100 for each sewer connection on an average. All of those contracts were interrupted by the war and building restrictions. The Council authorized the extension of these contracts to take care of the interruption during the war. His contract went a year and a half prior to the entrance into the war; then 3 years were added to his contract which would terminate it in 1948. He started construction after that time. The matter was turned over to the City Attorney to study the contract to see what the legal status is. The City Manager presented the following letter from Rob't B. Dixon, Sec'y & Treasurer, Longhorn Boat Club, dated May 31, 1951: "The Longhorn Boat Club respectfully requests permission to hold a sanctioned Lone Star Boat Racing Association regatta on Lake Austin at the site of the Longhorn Boat Club property on June 24, 1951. "Clubs from the following cities will have representation at the meet: Beaumont, Waco, Corpus Christi, Baytown, Orange, Houston, Austin, Galveston, Lake Charles, La., San Antonio, Freeport, Port Arthur, Lufkin, Paris, Sweetwater, San Angelo, Sherman, Dallas, and Fort Worth, #We would appreciate this being put on the agenda of the City Council at the earliest date. MR. PAUL GREGORY appeared before the Council in this request. In view of the fact the Club had held these races before with Council permission, and CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 436 436 in view of the fact the Club had advertised this event over the State, the Council felt they should be given permission. Councilman Long moved that permission be given to the LONGHORN BOAT CLUB to hold their races on June 24, 1951. The motion seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None MR. GREGORY and MR. MILO HILL asked if a committee from the Longhorn Boat Club could meet with the Navigation Board to recommend rules of safety. The Mayor suggested that a committee from the club and a committee from the other group meet with the Navigation Board and get all the facts before it. : Councilman Johnson moved that the following application for change of zoning bet set for public hearing at 11:00 A.M. June 28, 1951: H. P. ALLEN From "A" Residence To "C" Commercial NOT Recommended by the Zoning Board on May 28, 1951 2400 Block So. Congress Avenue (Rear) South 120* of a 3.88 acre tract out of Blk.C., Live Oak Grove less the front 400 now zoned "C-1", being the rear tract of land located on the west side of So. Congress Ave. approximately 300 south of Oltorf St. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None With reference to a request for an appropriation of $2,000 to build a model of the river, the City Manager submitted the following letter addressed to the Mayor and City Council under date of June 7, 1951, and signed by George W. Sandlin, Chairman, City Plan Commission: "At a special meeting of the City Plan Commission on May 31, 1951, it was unanimously voted by those present to recommend to the City Council that a model of the riverfront area be constructed in accordinance with the recommend ations or request made by the Chamber of Commerce. "This model, showing the area between Lamar bridge and the Interregional. Highway bridge location, will be a graphic presentation of all river drive development planning which will greatly aid engineers, planners and the general public in visualizing the future development of this area. Particularly will it aid the City Plan Commission and the City Council in obtaining the interestand cooperation of all private and public agencies that will be called upon to participate in developing the master plan of Austin. "We respectfully request that this project be authorized and commenced as soon as possible." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 437 437 A letter from the Executive Board of the Citizens' Committee for Permanent Beautification of Austin, dated June 7th, endorsing the proposal of former Mayor Taylor Glass that a $2,000 appropriation be made to build a scale model of the Colorado River at Austin, was also submitted. The City Manager in his recommendation to the Council stated, "The City Planning Commission have unanimously recommended that a model of the river front area be constructed as was requested by the Chamber of Commerce. "We feel that such model would be of benefit in developing the Colorado River. I would, therefore, recommend to the Council that an appropriation of not to exceed $2,000 be made from our unappropriated or contingency, as provided in the budget, this to be replaced when the low water dam bonds are sold." Councilman MacCorkle then moved that an appropriation not to exceed $2,000 be made for a model of the river, as recommended by the City Manager. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None The City Manager submitted specifications for audit of the City of Austin, to the Council for study. (Filed in City Clerk's Office under AUDIT) The Council decided to take this matter up the following week so that each member would have more time to go over the specifications. DR. BEN PRIMER submitted the Proposed Annual Budget for the Austin-Travis County Health Unit for the Fiscal year ending December 31, 1951. (Copy of this budget on file in City Clerk's Office under PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE) This was the budget which had been approved by the State and would have to have Council approval. The City Manager stated it would not affect the City's budget this year, but would overlap next year. Dr. Primer explained the State money that was appropriated to the City. He explained that the Clerk, Item 9, had been paid onehalf by the Tuberculosis Association and one-half by the Council. The Association has discontinued this payment to the County, and the County has indicated it would contact the City to assume that part--$800.00. After the Council had discussed this proposed budget thoroughly, Councilman Long moved that this tentative budget as submitted by Dr. Primer be accepted, and that the Mayor be authorized to sign it. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 438 438 COUNCILMAN WHITE presented the following petition signed by twenty-four citizens: "We, the undersigned, are residents of East 38th Street from Red River Street to East Avenue and are very desirous of getting our street the water-asphalt treatment to alleviate the dust. The dust in this area is terrific and very annoying. Various ones have called asking for this treatment or even water the street and so far nothing has been done. This street is used by numerous trucks connected with the construction of the new East Avenue Highway, numerous delivery trucks, and also residents of the east side of East Avenue cross on Concordia to Harmon to East 38th to reach Red River and vice versa. "We ask of you to please investigate this area and see if you dont agree with us that it is a much traveled street and needs to be waterasphalt treated." The Mayor complimented MR. C. G. LEVANDER and MR. NOBLE E. LATSON on their idea of asphalt treatment which has been so heartily received. He thought possibly certain streets would have to have a little priority. Councilman Long suggested that Mr. Levander study the possibility of recommending to the Council additional machines, as the paving program was moving along so slowly. She thought maybe some consideration should be given to enlarging that asphalt sprinkling program. The Mayor suggested that one thoroughfare be completed a year, and that 38th Street will take the cross-town traffic since 41st Street will be closed to through traffic when the highway comes in. The City Manager stated everything was ready to go when the bond money was available. The Mayor asked the City Manager to submit to the Council next Thursday in addition to what the school would require, what the City should have in the way of bond money--what is actually needed, and what is desired. The Mayor brought up three outstanding questions for consideration or action of the Council. (1) The setting up of a new ordinance regarding the zoning and planning in connection with the suggestions made at the meeting on June 5th--setting up a Planning Board with a sub-committee of zoning, and a plat committee, etc. Councilman Long moved that the City Manager be instructed to have an ordinance drawn up revamping the Zoning and Planning Commission as outlined in the meeting. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None (2) The Mayor suggested that a traffic committee be appointed to advise with the Traffic Engineer. Councilman Long moved that the Council appoint a citizens committee of seven to work with the Council in ironing out its traffic and safety problems, and that the City Manager be instructed to have an ordinance drawn up creating such a committee. The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle carried by the following vote: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 439 439 Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None (3) A charter amendment to change the duties and compensation of the Equali zation Board. The Mayor stated the Board had not drawn any compensation for its duties since the work of the Equalization Board had been completed, but these members had been doing other work for the city. It was stated that the Budget provided for pay as the Charter set out for the Equalization work, and also provided for appraisal work as other duties. The Board has not submitted its bill as yet for the extra duties. The Mayor recalled a recommendation from the Equalization Board, in which the Council was to instruct the Tax Department in regard to taxing personal property, machinery, etc., and that the Council ought to go ahead and instruct the De- partment what to do. The City Manager was to get a memorandum on this. The City Attorney reported on three matters in litigation: (1) The Weiler Condemnation Suit for property on the site of the proposed water plant on Mt. Bonnel had been completed, and the Commission awarded $10,000 for 5.12 acres. He stated from here, the City would move with negotiations for that. (2) The Firemen's and Policemen's suit regarding the initiative ordinance which they asked the Council to adopt, reached the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court granted a writ of error on five of the nine points raised, those dealing principally with the contention that the ordinance if adopted would be in conflict with the State Law, and the provision of the Charter must be construed as not permitting the submission of this ordinance, as that would also be in conflict with the State law. (3) The Court of Civil Appeals reviewed the Salazar Case and rendered a judgment in favor of the City; however, a motion for rehearing was pending before the Court of Civil Appeals. The City Attorney reported on House Concurrent Resolutions 52, 49 and 50, stating they were passed by the Senate; those resolutions permitting the widening of the right-of-way of 45th Street between Guadalupe and Burnet Road, coming off of State property from the Austin State Hospital and School for the Blind. The other resolution was the right-of-way for Koenig Lane across the State tract just south of the building of the Department of Public Safety. Other matters pending on condemnation or further negotiations are the Bradfield and Brush property, the Rosenquist property and the Holloway property; and the St. John property for additional right-of-way for East Avenue; and the Cater Joseph property. The City Manager explained the difference in price of the Joseph property and the Moulden property adjoining. He thought by next week he would have something definite on these two properties--either an acceptance of an offer or a reject. The City Manager explained a situation existing on Dry Creek where some property had been submerged due to changing the site of the old dam and adding two and a half feet to it in height. He stated a suit had been filed for damages CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 440 440 in the amount of $25,000. The City Manager and City Attorney felt it might be to the City's advantage to recommend purchasing the whole tract. The Stephensons, the owners, asked $40,000 for the tract as against the appraisers' figure of $23,000. He stated there is about 3300 feet of frontage on the river and is accessible in two different ways; and the attorneys representing the owners have indicated that the whole thing could be settled if the City purchased the land. The City Manager thought the City might gain more land by reclamation. The City Attorney seemed to think the plaintiffs had a pretty good chance in this law suit; and as this tract had wonderful possibilities for recreational purposes and provided a further access to the river, he would like authority to negotiate with the owners for the purchase of the whole tract. Councilman Johnson moved that the City Manager be authorized to negotiate with Mr. W. H. Stephenson, owner of this tract of land before the trial comes up. The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following votes Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Long, MacCorkle, White, Mayor Drake Noes: None The Council decided not to hold a "briefing" session the following Tuesday night, June 12th. The Council received notice from the City Manager that the following applications for change of zoning had been referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for consideration and recommendation: HANDY WILLIAMSON, JR. 1819 W. 10th Street To From "A" Residence "C" Commercial 7-ELEVEN, INC., LESSEE ODAS JUNG, Owner From "C" Commercial 915 North Lamar To "C-1" Commercial CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 441 441 Councilman Johnson offered the following resolution and moved its adoption (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, Troy Ragland is the Contractor for the remodeling of a building located at 125 West 7th Street and desires a portion of the Sidewalk and Street Working space abutting the east 102.66' of Lots 7 and 8, Block 70, in the Original City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, during the remodeling of the building, such space to be used in the work and for the storage of materials therefor; therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: 1.
