The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: None MR. CURTIS MOSTELLER appeared making a statement on traffic--stating the traffic code needed to be printed and modernized and made available for safety education; requesting the creation of a Traffic and Safety Advisory Board composed of citizens interested in traffic safety and willing to work on it; and requesting that the budget include the establishment of a permanent traffic and educational program. CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS 807 807 MR. J. C. LANKFORD, Govalle Civic League, asked that school crossing signs be installed at East 7th and Springdale Road, as this is a speed zone of 45 miles per hour; and if the speed could be slowed down to 30 mph it would give the children a chance to get across the street; (2) that the city widen the bridge on Boggy Creek and Springdale Road without waiting until Springdale Road was widened, as the bridge needed widening now to lessen the traffic hazards and to alleviate the drainage of Govalle; (3) to do something about getting the Railroad Companies to install traffic signals at Springdale Road. The City Manager reported on the latest communication from the Railroad Companies, and the matter was in the head offices of both companies concerned, and that the two companies were involved. The Mayor believed by staying in behind the two companies that this matter was going to be worked out and corrected. The City Manager stated if there were a number of children crossing at 7th and Springdale, that some crossing arrangement should be made, and that as this was a fast traffic zone, it would have to be brought down. Не would look into this matter. Mr. Lankford believed there were between 50-75 children and Mr. Travis Howard thought there were around 200 children crossing East 7th and Springdale. MR. TRAVIS HOWARD reported traffic driving around 100 miles an hour, and reported an accident whereby a veteran's fence was damaged. He suggested placing speed-limit signs. Mr. Howard asked that Springdale be repaired, as there is only a little gravel on it now. In addition to his requests, he asked early consideration of those made by Mr. Lankford. A man in the audience suggested portable blinker lights as used in small towns, in church zones, etc., whereby they were wheeled out and used during certain hours, working on a battery. MR. JACOB BAUERLE presented a petition regarding drainage on Mayfield Lane, involving Lots 7, 8, & 9, located north of Mayfield Lane, and the three lots owned by J. W. Mayfield immediately facing these lots. The Assistant Director of Public Works explained the existing situation and the plans that were to be put into effect to correct this drainage. He stated Mr. Bauerle wanted to come before the Council to get Council approval and assurance that this was to be done. The plan was to rearrange the easements, replace the drainage ditch from one side of Mr. Bauerle's property to the other, and build a culvert. There would be some exchange of property between Mr. Bauerle and another property owner, and Mr. Bauerle wanted his abstract brought up to date at no expense of his. MR. LATSON explained filling the ditch when the other one was made by using dirt when they did paving in this area. Mr. Bauerle asked that it be done within a year. Councilman Long moved that the plan as presented by Mr. Latson be accepted, and the City Manager be instructed to work out the details of the easements and taking care of the abstract and moving the soil. Themotion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: None MR. EUGENE SANDERS appeared representing the TRAVIS POST 76, American Legion, asking the Council to postpone action thethe Solicitation ordinance to provide time for the American Legion to appear before the Better Business Bureau to become better informed on the ordinances provisions, and to find out how the provisions would affect the American Legion in its activities. MR. J. W. SEIDERS, President of the Travis County Light House for the Blind thanked the Council for extending this organization additional time to study the ordinance and stated their attorney advised them they would be protected 808 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 808 under the ordinance. MR. ED ST. JOHN, representing the BBB stated the Veterans of Foreign Wars had endorsed this ordinance, and filed a copy of the Resolution adopted by the VFW. He explained further the purpose of the ordinance. MRS. EVANGELINE WILLIAMS inquired as to its effects on the Brownies' selling articles they had made for their group, and how it would affect the disabled veterans. MR. EUGENE HOWARD stated this ordinance was the best thing in this line that the city had had. MR. FRANCIS AMSLER asked, since the proposed ordinance was written and based on ordinances in effect in other cities, that the effects of those ordinances be found out. The Mayor announced that the Council would hold its meeting on October 28th instead of October 29th, due to the Inauguration of the University President; and on the 28th, this Solicitation Ordinance would be publicly heard; in the meantime he asked all those organizations interested to get in touch with the Better Business Bureau, and he called a meeting of the BBB, the City Attorney, and the various organizations for 2:00P.M., Monday October 26th. The City Manager went over the proposed fiscal policy, pointing out the changes made since the last hearing. Paragraph 13, regarding approach mains and storm sewers, was discussed from various angles. MR. JOE GRAY felt that if individual negotiation were made each time, there was a chance of unfairness and discrimination. It was brought out here that each contract came before the Council for approval; and if the party were not satisfied with the contract, he would not sign it. MR. BRADFIELD stated this was a temporary measure until a real policy could be developed. MR. SHERLEY C. WHITE, President of the Austin Home Builders Association read a resolution asking adoption of the recommendations of the Joint Subdivision Committee of the Austin Association of Home Builders and Austin Real Estate Board as to fiscal policy and that their resolution be presented to the City Council. MR. GIBSON RANDLE felt that no request had been complied with in this compromise policy; that the subdividers still felt they were entitled to 100% of their principle; that they should be paid 75% instead of 50% of the water revenue; and should have 30 years instead of 25. They were not in agreement with the substitution of the City's paving the intersection instead of reducing the cost of pavement. Mr. Randle still favored the Dow Jones report plus 1% rather than straight 3% interest. Councilman Thompson stated this matter affected the subdivider, home owner and tax- payer; and fundamentally, the liberalization of the fiscal policy on the matter of refund to the subdividers shifted from the purchaser of the home and the subdivider to the general taxpayer the financial burden therein. MR. DAVID BARROW asked the City not to be so drastic in cutting the revenue payments from 200% to 50% all at one time. Councilmen Long and Thompson were interested in figuring on paying the 75%, liquidating the indebtedness sooner and saving the interest. The City Manager stated this would not amount to a saving. He stated the 1954 Budget was the most difficult budget the City has ever made; and that these refunds would have to stand on their own. He explained the city's position. MR. BULLARD stated the depreciation item did not belong in the new systems at all. The City Manager explained how it did. Councilman Pearson asked that final action on this be delayed until the following week--not for the purpose of holding another hearing, but for a discussion among themselves. The Council took no further action at this time. The Council heard MR. JESS L. FREEBORN regarding the zoning of his property in the Burnet Area, Area 17. Mr. Jess L. Freeborn owns the Cottage 809 809 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Cafe, which is used as a C-l classification, but recommended for"C" non-conforming use. He asked that the C-1 be established as the permanent zoning for his property and that adjoining him, owned by MR. JIM DYE (The Garden Inn). Councilman Pearson moved that the ordinance be amended to provide the "C-1" classification, 6th Height and Area for the Cottage Cafe, (J.F.Freeborn owner) and the Garden Inn (Jim Dye owner) on Burnet Road in AREA 17 of this zoning ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: None Mayor McAden then introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THAT CERTAIN ORDINANCE PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, JULY 17, 1941, AND RECORDED IN ORDINANCE BOOK "L", PAGES 152-174, INCLUSIVE, OF THE ORDINANCE RECORDS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, WHICH ORDINANCE WAS AMENDATORY OF THAT CERTAIN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING ZONING REGULATIONS AND DISTRICTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL APRIL 23, 1931, AND RECORDED IN BOOK "I", PAGES 301318, INCLUSIVE, OF THE ORDINANCE RECORDS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, THE AMENDATORY ORDINANCE HEREBY ESTABLISHING THE BOUNDARIES FOR VARIOUS ORIGINAL USE DISTRICTS AND HEIGHT AND AREA DISTRICTS, IN VARIOUS AREAS ANNEXED TO THE CITY OF AUSTIN ON DECEMBER 20, 1951, AND TIMES SUBSEQUENT THERETO; ORDERING A CHANGE IN THE USE AND HEIGHT AND AREA MAPS SO AS TO RECORD SUCH DISTRICTS; AND SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS.
