FRANK F. KNIGHT appealed the land values of Allandale Shopping Center, 5700 and 5800 Block of Burnet Road, and stated in comparing figures for this property with others, either his assessment was wrong or the others were wrong. He compared his land with other shopping centers, and his was set higher than any other community center on a per acre basis. He stated since 1958 the income had declined, and the area was built to its capacity. He stated the property had not increased this $21,000 in the last three years. The land appraiser in the Tax Department explained how the property was figured and compared the figures with other centers on a square foot basis, and stated Allandale had two side streets where the others had only one. He discussed the property leased to the bank. The Mayor stated the Council would make a personal inspection of the area and discuss this with the Tax Department.

ROGAN GILES appeared appealing the value placed on his land only, pointing out a drainage easement on the tract listed as 4.6 acres, 500 Block E. Riverside Drive. He stated the Tax Department had 650' along Riverside Drive, when there was really only 620', and that is 30' too much frontage. No credit had been allowed for the ditch. On two separate times land had been taken off of this and the 11.65 tract. His appeal was based on their being too much frontage listed and not as many acres as claimed by the Tax Department; no credit for the ditch, and no discount allowed for lack of utilities as was CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS granted other large tracts as this. He asked for relief in the form of a discount or adjustment. He stated the overall tract was entitled to a discount on the basis of the fill, and lack of utilities. The Tax Department stated it would take off the one acre valued at $6,000 and reduce the amount to $1,000. The appraiser in the Tax Department explained the value set on those two pieces of land. MR. GILES stated on the 4.317 acre tract, 140 and 150 E. Riverside Drive, he had brought that up before the Council last year, and it was supposed to have been equalized this year. He stated on front foot basis it is in at $30,000; and there is not a $30,000 an acre tract on Riverside Drive. There is a huge ditch, and there is no consideration for that. Across the fence the property which goes up to Congress Avenue, is in for $3,000 an acre, and his is in for $13,000 an acre. The Mayor asked if he were protesting the value or if it were equalization. Mr. Giles stated in addition there was this huge hole in the back of the tract. MR. GILES discussed the value of the Delwood Center, stating in general the income is down, and there is increased competition in the area. His protest covered the 5.1 acres inside the Drive-in Theatre tract. He compared the value of this tract with those of the other Drive-in theatres, stating anyway it was figured, the Delwood Drive-in ran from twice as high to seven times as high as some of the other theaters.
