The motion, seconded by Councilman Perry, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilman Armstrong, Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None MRS. M. B. PORTER appeared before the Council opposing the sale of the Abattoir, Cemetery and Hospital, as proposed to be voted upon in the coming election. She opposed the sale of these properties, as these had become a tradition in the City's way of life, and because the voters are uninformed and because they are being asked upon a minute's notice to vote on a 175 combined years' build-up. She read a statement expressing her opposition to the sale of each of the three properties. The Mayor explained the reasons for submitting these propositions to the people, and stated that information was going to be made available to the voters in due time for them to analyze the situation and make an intelligent decision. He stated these three services took one-third of the taxes, and the Council wanted to get an expression from the people as to whether or not they were willing to pay for those services. MRS. LANCASTER, League of Women's Voters, stated the League wanted to get out a voters' guide to inform the people, and asked the Council to be more explicit about their motives behind submitting these proposals to a vote. The Mayor stated it had been known for many years that the Hospitals were a costly operation to the City, and the Council wanted an indication from the people if they wanted to continue this operation. He stated the Council wanted to know =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 719 if the people wanted to continue to operate an Abattoir. He stated the information would be submitted next week.

FRANK E. MONTGOMERY Rear of 1708-1714 Manor Road From "A" Residence To "C" Commercial NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED "B" Resi- dence Mr. Trueman O'Quinn represented the applicant, and displayed a map showing the property to be changed and the 82'x210' property in front which is owned by Mr. Montgomery and which is already "C" Commercial. Because of the access to the University, and because of its particular location, the applicants want to develop the entire properties as Residential, with an 61 unit apartment house. They had asked for "C" Commercial to permit the 61 units on the rear section, and to develop the front section as a drive and landscaped area, as well as for off-street parking. The Planning Commission recommended "B" Residence 1st Height and Area. He stated 38 units could be placed on the rear; and on the "C" Commercial property, 28 units would be permitted, totalling 66 units; but they want only 61 on the rear. Mr. Frank Montgomery filed a letter stating he would place a covenant in the deed conveying both tracts of land restricting the number of apartments to 61 in such form that the restriction would run with the land. Mr. O'Quinn stated they could accomplish what they wanted to under "B" Residence 2nd Height and Area. Opposition to "C" Commercial and to a 61 unit apartment house was expressed by MRS. EDGAR MATHEWS, and MR. R. P. HOFFPAUIR, stating such development would lower the value of his property.

CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 732 WALTER CARRINGTON 805-809 West 10th Street From "B" Residence To "0" Office RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission The Director of Planning pointed out the problem of widening West 10th Street. He recommended to the Commission to deny the zoning until the street widening was worked out, although he believed "O" Office was sound zoning if there is an adequately developed street. He stated 10th Street was a key street down town. Mr. Dick Baker, Attorney representing Mr. Carrington, stated it was agreeable to Mr. Carrington to dedicate 122', and the additional 12' that would be needed would be sold, at the market value of adjoining tracts, so that any improvements they made would not increase the value which the City would have to pay for the additional 12½'. He explained a proposed exchange of city-owned property in the rear of the lots for the right-of-way; but stated an exchange could not be made in this particular case. Mr. Baker said they would dedicate 12½ and contract 12½'. Mayor Palmer asked if he would set up a restrictive covenant to run with the land, and Mr. Baker stated he would. Councilman Shanks moved that the change be granted to "O" Office. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "0" Office and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. ANDREW VISCARDI 1600-04 West 12th Street 1200-04 West Lynn Street From "C" Commercial To "C-1" Commercial RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Mr. Viscardi asked that only those living in the area be considered this morning, as the opposing group seems to be the whole city. He stated he planned eventually to rebuild the whole area, and wanted the "C-1" Commercial zoning for a drive-in grocery store, permitting beer to go. Opposition was lead by REV. BRENT FISHER, pastor of St. Luke Methodist Church, and he filed petitions from his Church, the Sweet Home Baptist Church, and the Tenth Street Baptist Church, stating the Churches viewed such change as an entering wedge by which liquor would extend the limits of the area for its sale and distribution; that the area has been free from the blight of such centers; that this change of zoning would follow a pattern of later being changed to "C-2" Commercial so that liquor could be sold; West Lynn and 12th are narrow streets and already traffic hazards; the children in going to school and church would necessarily have to pass by the location with increased traffic. The petitions had about 168 signatures. He stated they were aware of the juvenile delinquency and other problems in the neighborhood. MR. HUB BECHTOL expressed opposition, stating the area is too small for a drive-in grocery; there was a rumor it would be a cafe, but Mr. Viscardi said it would be a drive-in grocery store; and that the opposing citizens maintained this location was not proper for a drive-in. A former operator of the filling station in the area expressed opposition on the grounds of traffic hazards that will be added if there is a drive-in grocery store. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 733 REV. FISHER stated they were concerned about the wedge that would eventually lead to liquor. It was brought out the Church property was across the street from this location although by the prescribed measuring, the church door would be more than 300'. Mayor Palmer made a statement about zoning land, and about individuals' complying with all laws should have a right to use his land to its highest and best use. Mayor Pro-tem Perry made a statement regarding technicalities as to measuring the distance of church properties from the properties wanting to sell beer-to-go. Councilman Perry moved that this zoning request be denied.

The agreement is as follows: "MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN NELSON PUETT AND CITY OF AUSTIN "With reference to the preliminary plan of Allendale Terrace, Section 2, on file with the Planning Commission of the City, which the Planning Commission has approved subject to the solution of certain problems, the following agreement is made: "1. Nelson Puett will pay one-half of the cost of constructing a bridge across Shoal Creek at Twin Oaks Drive, up to, but not exceeding $10,000 for his part. "2. Nelson Puett will give the necessary right of way for the bridge and street leading to proposed Treadwell Boulevard and will dedicate Treadwell Boulevard from that point to this south boundary. "3. Nelson Puett will pay one-half of the cost of Channel improvement in Sheal Creek from the south boundary of proposed Allendale Terrace, Section 2, to a point at which the northeast property line of the proposed Lot 13, Block F, is crossed by the contour interval 665 feet above mean sea level. "4. Nelson Puett will give an easement for drainage to permit Shead Creek Channel improvements between the south boundary of Allendale Terrace, Section 2, and the proposed Shoal Creek Boulevard as shown on the plan, the east line of such easement to be his east line in the creek, the west line following the same elevation above sea level that the east boundary of the drainage easement on the opposite side of Shoal Creek follows: and north of the south line of the proposed Shoal. Creek Boulevard as shown, he will give an easement, the east line of which will be his east property line, and the west line of which will follow the contour interval 665 feet above mean sea level to the point where it crosses the northeast boundary of Lot 13, Block F, as shown on the plan. "5. Since the City feels that additional easement for the channel is needed west of the west line of the easement Nelson Puett has agreed to give, he will sell to the city the additional easement required for cents per square foot provided the west line of the easement sold is located no further west than the red line shown on the accompanying plat. "6. City of Austin agrees that if a bridge is built crossing Shoal Creek at Shoal Creek Boulevard as proposed on the preliminary plan referred to, it will be constructed at the sole expense of the City." MAYOR PALMER said MR. TRUEMAN O'QUINN had written a letter stating Mr. Puett wanted the City to remove the foot bridge in accordance with the Court order. The City Manager submitted a copy of the Court order and stated there was nothing in CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 736 the document ordering the City to remove the bridge. MAYOR PALMER made a report on a meeting he, COUNCILMAN SHANKS and MAYOR PRO-TEM PERRY had with Mr. Puett, and Mr. Puett had said he would pay one-half the cost of one bridge, it being his understanding the bridge would not run over $20,000; that he would dedicate the necessary right-of-way for one bridge; and if the City felt a bridge should go on the Shoal Creek Boulevard crossing, he would not only dedicate the road but the necessary roadway, which he had been asked to do, to come down Treadwell Boulevard so that the bridge could be put in at that location. Mr. Puett said in addition, whatever his agreement was on the channeling, he would go ahead on that, and he did not want any money, but would give that part up to the 665'. Mr. Puett said if the City wanted to straighten Shoal Creek, he would do all of that if the City would take the bridge down and leave it down for a certain period of time. When it is down, he will agree to pay the $10,000 and dedicate these properties; and stated he would rather pay the $10,000 when he was ready to develop the land. The City Manager stated when streets are dedicated, the subdivider's money is paid in or he submits a letter of credit from his bank. Finally, after much discussion, Councilman Shanks moved that the City Manager be instructed to remove the footbridge now at Twin Oaks Drive. The motion, seconded by Councilman Perry, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Councilman Shanks moved that the City Manager be instructed to ask the Planning Commission and the Legal Department to locate the new proposed extension of Shoal Creek Boulevard and the continuation of Treadwell Boulevard to a junction with Shoal Creek, and to arrange the necessary fiscal arrangements for the construction of the bridge, curb, gutter, paving, and drainage. The motion, seconded by Councilman Perry, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Manager of the Auditorium, MR. FRANCIS VICKERS, displayed drawings of two signs for the Auditorium, and gave the dimensions of each sign. The sign may be rented to the commercial events if they would like to have advertising. Mr. Vickers recommended that the sign be located on South 1st Street and Riverside Drive. Councilman Perry moved that the City Manager be authorized to contract with MODERN SIGNS for the erection of the sign proposed by them at the price of $4,600 cash, including all the extras listed in their proposal. The motion, seconded by Councilman Armstrong, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The City Manager stated last week MR. DAN FELTS had written a letter with reference to vacating an alley for the Rio Grande Medical Center; and it was brought out last week that in view of the statements made at the time of the zoning, there was a question as to whether or not the alley should be vacated. He stated the matter had been cleared through all Departments except the Planning Department and its recommendation was against vacating the alley. After considering many phases of this--the little difference in cost of improving the alley _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 737 737 with concrete, and the fact the alley was used by the public, and other reasons, Councilman White moved that the request be DENIED; and Mr. Felts be advised that the alley could not be vacated. The motion, seconded by Councilman Perry, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Perry, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Present but not voting: Councilman Armstrong The City Manager stated he had received a letter from the Democratic County Chairman, MR. TRUEMAN O'QUINN, regarding polling places for the Primaries to be held May 5 and June 2, 1962. The Council approved the polling places with the exception of the fire halls. The City Manager discussed the vacating of Archway Street where it is now open on the ground, and stated, should the property be sold, he would not recommend any change of zoning previous to the sale. The Mayor asked that the Council agree to go ahead and vacate the street subject to the City Manager's checking further on any utility easements that may be needed. The City Manager stated even if the property were not sold, it would be better to have one continuous piece of land. The City Manager submitted the following: "TO: Mr. W. T.
