The Mayor announced that through error the Brackenridge Tract of land was zoned, and it was not the common practice of the City to restrict any branch of grovernmental enterprise. The Planning Commission should be asked to bring in a recommendation to de-zone this particular error that had caused so much controversy; as it is the thought that the City should maintain its relations on the highest plane with the University, County and Federal governments. Other governmental agencies had complimented the City of Austin on its amicable way it gets along with the other governmental agencies. Councilman Long moved that the Planning Commission be instructed to study and recommend to the Council, if they see fit, that all University, State, and Federal property be dezoned where zoning has been established. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Pearson, Thompson, White, Mayor McAden Noes: None The Mayor stated he had observed that these various governmental agencies had never done anything detrimental to the community in this regard. Councilman Thompson noted, since an accusation had been made that the Council had not been sympathetic with the aged people, that this Council had granted every request before it for a Convalescent Home, which were five, and that three requests for zoning which would permit the use of the land for rest homes had come before the Council, two of which were denied, on recommendation of the Planning Commission. The Mayor read the following letter: "Hon. C. A. McAden Mayor, City of Austin Austin, Texas "May 25, 1954 "Dear Mr. McAden! "We understand that many of our requests for street and safety improvements referred to intour letter to you on May 5 are underway, and we sincerely thank you and the members of the City Council for this prompt action. "There are several items we failed to mention that are of importance to the City as a whole, and we wish to call them to the attention of your good Council at this time. "We wish to commend the City Council for the selection of the Butler tract for our City Auditorium -- a finer place could not have been chosen because of the abundance of space for parking, so necessary for such a project. This location will be easily accessible from the North, South, East, and West when all our CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 469 469 streets and highways are completed, and it will also be accessible to our ultramodern hotels and motels without congestion at any time. This will add greatly to making Austin a Convention City. "We heartily endorse the reconditioning of our old Congress Avenue Bridge. The banisters are badly beaten and could be very dangerous should an unforeseen accident occur at the same location where a previous accident has hit the banisters. The sidewalks are raised a very few inches from the street, which make it easy for a car to jump and strike pedestrians or to hit the banisters with full force. We are agreed that these banisters should be replaced with iron ones, similar to those on South First and Lamar Street Bridges, which will make them more in harmony and up-to-date. We also feel that the sidewalk should be raised so that cars cannot easily jump over the curb. "It is a pleasure to have the opportunity of working with a City Council such as we have here in Austin, and we trust that these suggestions will be given every consideration. "Yours very truly STREET AND SAFETY COMMITTEE SOUTH AUSTIN CIVIC CLUB (Sgd) Emil H. Spillman Emil H. Spillman, Chairman CC Council Members Austin American Austin Statesman South Austin Tribune" The Mayor suggested that the Citizens should strongly advertise that Austin is the gateway City to the Highland Lakes Area.
