The Mayor announced that the meeting scheduled on May 15, 1953, for the Inauguration of the new Council had been postponed until 10:00 A.M. Tuesday, due to the death of MR. CLYDE WHITE, Councilman White's brother, and Councilman Johnson's brother-in-law. 372 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 392 Mr. Eugene Davis, lll4 Gillespie Place, presented the following petition with approximately 200 signatures: "Austin, Texas April 29, 1953 "TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL: "GENTLEMEN: "since the use of the old boat ramp and docking facilities, formerly available to boat owners), has been discontinued, there has arisen, in the City of Austin, a definite need for a place where private boat owners can launch their boats in Lake Austin, This fact has become a matter of public knowledge and widespread interest, since the controversy arose concerning the ramp that the city undertook to build on the property owned by the Texas Fine Arts Association. "What is not known by the general public, is the fact that the City owns a vast area of land on the western shore of Lake Austin, in the area just north of the Low Water Bridge, an area that is approximately 140 acres in size, and that adjoins the waters of Lake Austin. This park area, donated to the City of Austin several years ago, was at one time partly developed by the city, and barbecue pits and stoves and picnic tables were built and the area somewhat developed for the use of the public. However, this entire area has fallen into disuse, and is now overgrown by weeds and brambles to such an extent that it is no longer accessible to the public for picnicing and recreational purposes. This acreage, which has been investigated by interested parties who explored it as a possible site for the building of a public boat ramp, is, in the opinion of many people, an ideal location for such a public boat ramp, because it is close to the city and is already owned by the City of Austin. "Therefore we, the undersigned, respectfully petition the members of the City Council of Austin, and the City Manager, Mr. Seaholm, to look further into the possibilities of developing this tract of land, adjacent to the waters of Lake Austin, for picnicing purposes and for the launching of boats in the lake. Several private individuals, who have this matter greatly at heart, have walked over this tract of land, to see what could be done by way of developing this site, at reasonable cost, and of building a road to the water's edge for the purpose of building a boat ramp for the use of the public. It has been estimated, by those interested parties who have participated in this exploration, that a roadway could be opened up leading to the water's edge and that a cleaning up of the area could be accomplished for a sum not to exceed $4,000.00. "The undersigned urge the members of the City Council to look into this matter at the earliest possible moment, in order to give boat owners adequate facilities for the launching of their boats, and the general public a beautiful site for picnics and outings." Mayor Drake brought up the following ordinance for its third reading: AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE EXTENSION OF CERTAIN BOUNDARY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND THE AΝΝΕΧATION OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TERRITORY CONSISTING OF 6.2 ACRES OF LAND, MORE OR LESS, OUT OF THE HENRY WARNELL SURVEY IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, WHICH 6.2 ACRES OF LAND, MORE OR 393 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 393 LESS, IS ALL THAT PORTION OF A PROPOSED SUBDIVISION TO BE KNOWN AS DEVONSHIRE PARK, WHICH SAID ADDITIONAL TERRITORY LIES ADJACENT TO AND ADJOINS THE PRESENT BOUNDARY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, IN THE PARTICULARS STATED IN THE ORDINANCE.
