The motion, seconded by Councilman Bechtol, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Bechtol, Palmer, Perry, White, Mayor Miller Noes: None The Council had before it the application for a permit for a Filling Station at 35th and Scenic Drive. MR. JOHNNIE B. ROGERS, represented MR. TED WENDLANDT, owner of the property, and stated the application had been recommended by the various city departments; that the property had been "C" Commercial since 1938; and that people had had adequate notice of this zoning before they purchased and developed their property. He displayed pictures of the area, and discussed the various phases of the application. MR. DONALD THOMAS, 3901 Balcones Drive, represented MR. NORRIS PARKER, nearest property owner to the site, stating that adjacent property owners to the Wendlandt Tract had filed an application for zoning the property back to "A" Residence, and that the Wendlandt tract had been included for study by the Planning Commission in with the application. He pointed out the peculiar disadvantages of this property for the par- ticular use--the grade of the property, the curb cuts injecting traffic into the wrong lane, the traffic hazards, the inadequacy of property for a filling station that this would not be a service station, but only a gasoline station, and that there was no need for such in the neighborhood, as there were two closed stations near the area. Mr. Thomas discussed the zoning of the property. C こ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. At 11:00 A.M.

LESTER REED who asked the Council to wait until the zoning was decided upon. MR. TOM BRADFIELD expressed opposition to the filling station as he stated there would not be the required off-street parking, set-backs, etc. MR. C. McGUIRE, Colorado Foothills, opposed the change, as experience had shown that when commercial zoning went into a top-level residential area, property began to depreciate. This year there had been an increase on the property evaluation. MR. W. L. LOGAN, 3212 West 35th Street objected, as this was in reality, a commercial encroachment upon a residential area. A property owner at 3900 Balcones Drive objected as there was no desire in the neighborhood for this type of business. MR. NORRIS PARKER objected as his property was the one to be most affected, and stated there was a motive other than establishing a filling station here. MR. C. W. CHANCE stated two large service stations near by had gone bankrupt, and this one would also. MR. HULAN BLACK, representing the University Presbyterian Church which owned property in the neighborhood, said the commercial development would depreciate the property. MR. JOHN FOCHT, Assistant Dean of College of Engineering, made a report on a traffic study he made of the area. MR. MILLARD RUUD, 3416 Foothills, opposed the filling station, as it did not serve a public interest. MR. JOHN BURNS expressed opposition to the commercial use in the residential neighborhood, stating he had purchased the adjoining lots to prevent commercial development. MR. DON THOMAS filed a brief. No action was taken by the Council, as some of the members wanted to examine the area again. Decision was to be made by next Thursday. MR. HOYLE OSBORNE, Planning Director, reported that MR.
