Council Chamber, City Hall The meeting was called to order with Mayor Miller presiding. Roll call: Present: Councilmen Long, Palmer, Pearson, White, Mayor Miller Absent: None Present also: W. T. Williams, Jr., City Manager; Doren R. Eskew, City Attorney; Reuben Rountree, Jr., Director of Public Works. Invocation was delivered by REV. LUTHER E. HOLLOWAY, Chaplain, Austin State School. Councilman White moved that the Minutes of May 9, 1957, be approved. The motion, seconded by Councilman Pearson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Long, Palmer, Pearson, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None The Council heard the appeal by PAUL H. PFEIFER from decision of Planning Commission regarding paved streets in "Club Heights". MR. TRUEMAN O'QUINN represented Mr. Pfeifer. FATHER DELANEY speaking for the people in the area did not believe that the young couples could afford the additional costs of paving, and asked that the development be approved without the necessity of curbs and paving. FATHER DELANEY asked for street lights, as there were only four in the area, and one of them was out of operation. Here, the Mayor asked that this be called to the attention of Mr. Kinney. MR. PFEIFER spoke in his behalf and on the condition of the area, and the efforts he had made with other land owners to join in the development. MR. JONES, Patterson and Jones, spoke on financing the properties, stating it would not be feasible with the addition of the costs of paving. Councilman Long did not believe it would be helpful to the community to leave off the paving. Councilman Pearson figured the costs to the owners would be so little, it would not be significant, and stated it was communities like this that needed to be protected, and he believed the Council should work with Mr. Pfeifer and work something out so the area would be developed to the best interests of the neighborhood. MR. O'QUINN pointed out a legal question about a contract with the Water District that might have to be worked out with the City Attorney. He asked that the Council take the appeal under study. Mr. Pfeifer stated earlier in the discussion that he had no objections to having the property annexed when it was developed. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 291 291 The Council had under consideration the appeal of the BAPTIST FOUNDATION OF TEXAS.
