The motion, seconded by Councilman Palmer, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Palmer, Pearson, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None Absent: Councilman Long The Council continued the hearing on the paving of ALTA VISTA ALLEY. MR. TRUEMAN E. O'QUINN representing Mr. Nabours, Mr. Holcomb, and Mrs. Pearson, filed letters from Mr. Lloyd W. Payne, Mr. A. L. Moyer, both letters reciting that the opening of the alley would be of no benefit to the abutting properties. (Letters on file under ALLEYS-Alta Vista) MR. O'QUINN suggested stopping the paving up to a point where the alley drops off, the properties would not be hurt, and the traffic hazard would be avoided. MR. W. R. NABOURS spoke again in the belief that his property would not be benefitted. MR.J.H.MALOY and MR. C. E. EKLUND spoke in favor of opening and paving the alley all the way through. The matter was discussed some more. The Mayor stated then that everyone had been heard and heard very sympathetically. Later on in the meeting Mayor Miller introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE CLOSING THE HEARING GIVEN TO THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS OF PROPERTY ABUTTING UPON ALTA VISTA ALLEY IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, WITHIN THE LIMITS HEREINAFTER DEFINED, AS TO SPECIAL BENEFITS TO ACCRUE TO SAID PROPERTY AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF BY VIRTUE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS OF SAID ALTA VISTA ALLEY WITHIN i =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS= 542 542 SAID LIMITS, AND AS TO ANY ERRORS, INVALIDITIES OR IRREGULARITIES IN ANY OF THE PROCEEDINGS OR CONTRACT THEREFOR; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT EACH AND EVERY PARCEL OR PROPERTY ABUTTING UPON SAID ALTA VISTA ALLEY WITHIN THE LIMITS DEFINED WILL BE SPECIALLY BENEFITTED AND ENHANCED IN VALUE IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT OF THE COST OF SAID IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED TO BE, AND AS, ASSESSED AGAINST SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF, AND LEVYING AN ASSESSMENT FOR THE PAYMENT OF A PORTION OF THE COST OF IMPROVING SAID ALTA VISTA ALLEY WITHIN THE LIMITS DEFINED, FIXING A CHARGE AND LIEN AGAINST ALL SAID ABUTTING PROPERTIES, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF, PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF ASSIGNABLE CERTIFICATES UPON THE COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE OF SAID WORK, THE MANNER AND TIME OF PAYMENT THEREOF, ANDPRROVIDING FOR THE MANNER AND METHOD OF COLLECTION OF SAID ASSESSMENTS AND CERTIFICATES; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY, AND PROVIDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON ITS PASSAGE. The ordinance was read the first time and Councilman White moved that the ordinance be passed to its second reading. The motion, seconded by Councilman Palmer, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Palmer, White, Mayor Miller Noes: Councilman Pearson* Absent: Councilman Long *Councilman Pearson voting against the ordinance with the following statement: "This alley has a bad drainage situation, and the City put out $2,500 several years ago to try to correct this bad drainage. We voted to open the alley and pave it according to the subdivision ordinance if 75% of the money would be paid in by the property owners. There was only 55% of the money put up by the owners; so therefore I vote 'no' because I just do not feel justified in having the city to spend the 45% of the cost of this project because in my opinion each owner is using the alley about as well as it can ever be used because there is a traffic hazard coming out into Avondale Road." MR. JAKE JARASEK, Route 4, Box 185, appeared before the Council making a complaint about the smoke from the Economy Furniture Manufacturing Company stating the plant was located in a very low area and the smoke stack was only 25'. The Assistant City Attorney stated this seemed to be a civil matter, and not in the jurisdiction of the City. The Mayor stated however, he would call the owner of the plant and tell him there was a complaint and see if he wouldn't try to work something out. 543 543 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The Council continued the zoning hearing on AREA 6. The first section under consideration was the GEO. B. SHEPPARD tract, shown on the original zoning map as (1).* MR. RAS REDWINE represented Mr. Sheppard, who was not present. DR. HENRY A. HOLLE, 5503 Ridge Oak Drive, opposed any zoning other than "A" Residence as his property would be depreciated in value. MRS. VAUGHT opposed any zoning other than Residential. MR. LANDON BRADFIELD asked that a buffer strip be required so that their property values could be maintained. MR. TOM BRADFIELD expressed opposition to any commercial zoning, stating if a residential area went into a commercial area, it should provide the buffer zone; if the commercial area encroached into the residential area, it should provide the buffer. He believed the commercial zoning would hurt the values of the properties. The Mayor stated the Council was waiting for Mr. Sheppard to file a written agreement that he would move his lumber yard and building out before the first of the year. No action was taken by the Council pending receipt of this agreement. MR. HERMAN JONES represented K.V.E.T. on its tract of land indentified as (9) and (10) on the original zoning map which was under discussion. Opposition to Commercial zoning was expressed by DR. HENRY A. HOLLE. Mr. Jones stated the use presently contemplated would fall under "LR" Local Retail, and later if necessary, application for "C" Commercial could be made.
