=CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting July 02, 1963 10:00 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall The meeting was called to order with Mayor Palmer presiding. Roll call: Present: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Absent: None Present also: W. T. Williams, Jr., City Manager; Doren R. Eskew, City Attorney; Reuben Rountree, Jr., Director of Public Works; Robert A. Miles, Chief of Police MRS. G. P. NULTY, 910 East 382 Street, read a petition signed by approximately 18 property owners alleging the City had repeatedly damaged their pro- perties for residential use by placing a major high tension power line on 38글 Street instead of placing it along the railroad easement; by removing 5 feet from their narrow easement; by damaging valuable trees within the property lines of residences; and by widening the street, and assessing the property owners for part of the cost of widening the street. The petitioners asked that the assessments be withdrawn, as the same properties had within a relatively few years been assessed for the existing paving and this was unjust and unfair for the City to assess additional sums against the residential property owners for the widening of an existing street, the result of which would be to increase traffic to nearby commercial developments and not to the residential property whose owners were being assessed for the pavement widening. MRS. NULTY stated this assessment would work a real hardship on those depending on Social Security or Retirement. The City Manager explained the pavement between Harmon and Red River was not the permanent type, and that the property owners paid only 604 a foot in 1945 or 1946. The traffic had already increased on this street, and that is the reason for its being widened. He pointed out the street right of way was 50', and the street as it is now is only 30' wide. Councilman Long did not believe the properties would be enhanced by this extra paving. MRS. J. D. McFARLAND asked that they not have to pay for the paving again and stated they had their trees cut back due to the high tension lines. The Mayor told the group the City was not interfering with the property owners' lines, as it was using its own right of way, and he explained this street had been designated as a cross-town thoroughfare since 1945. The City Attorney stated the attorney who was representing many of the property owners here had discussed this matter with him, and he understands _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 2, 1963 there would be a public hearing and the question of enhancement or not would be heard at the appropriate time. He explained the voluntary paving program and the savings to be realized under this program rather than paying under the assessment program. Mayor Palmer asked if all of the group thought they should pay no part of this paving. Mrs. Nulty replied if it benefited them in the least they would not object to paying anything, but it was not benefiting them but causing their properties to decrease. If it increased the value of their property, they would not say a word. The Mayor explained they would have every right to prove by expert testimony whether this paying would or would not enhance the property. Discussion was held on paying "under protest", and the City Attorney explained there was no such policy that applied to this. The Mayor said the Council would make an onsite inspection of this area, and then discuss the matter with the City Attorney and notify the group. MR. ERSELL DUKE stated the Council was familiar with the matter he was to discuss in that they had 3.268 acres of land on which to located the Covenant Presbyterian Church, and nine churches participated in the payment of $32,500 to acquire the land. He reviewed the negotiations to exchange this property for City property on Northland Drive, and the appraisers' setting a 30 square foot value on the Northland Drive property and 27 square foot value on their property. He appealed to the Council to allow a consideration to them equal to that of the Bullard tract for the remainder of their property of 3.268 acres. The City Attorney stated there were only 2.889 acres. Mr. Duke said the 3.268 acres included the street, and $4,500 was paid for curbs and development of the street which if vacated, the Church would get one-half of the street back. MR. BULLARD reviewed his negotiations with the City on his 20 acre tract, and the street having been dedicated to the City for street purposes only at that time. When he sold the property to the Presbyterian Church, the sale was conditioned that the street would be opened for the mutual benefit of the Church and his shopping center. He said the plan was dedicated at no cost to the City; but in consideration of his dedicating the private street, the Church put up $4,500 cash in escrow to pay for paving that street. He said his contract with the City provided that he would quit-claim all interest he had in the street, and all the interest he had in the $4,500 deposit upon payment of $4,500 on the principal on the note he had with the City. The church owns 2.889 acres plus, if the street is vacated, one half the street plus one half that deposit, and he owned the other half of the street and half the deposit. The money is in escrow. Church paid $28,000 plus 6% interest plus the taxes that had accrued plus that $4,500 deposit. The City Attorney stated no attempt to analyze the status of title of the $4,500 and the title to the street had been made, as he was presuming the City would convey to the center of Northland Drive, if it conveyed part of the property the City owned; that the property which the Church owns goes to the center of the street; but the Church would get additional property by taking to the center of Northland Drive which is a wider street than White Rock Trail. The City Manager stated there was no value of the land which is subject to public easement other than the fact there is access. He stated if the Church had title to the property, it got title to the property by conveyance of 2.889 acres to the Church; no special conveyance to the street. MR. DUKE stated the Presbyterian Church was to convey to the City 2.889 acres plus all of its title and interest in this .379 acres, totalling 3.268 acres--all the rights, title and interest which would be the land plus $4,500 for three acres on Northland Drive. They were trading 27½ cent per square foot property for what they had agreed at 30¢ a square foot for less acreage. They would take The =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 2, 1963 three acres for 3.268. The City Attorney noted the appraisal was 22 1/4 cents. Mr. Duke said the appraiser was considering there were $28,000 which was 22 1/4 cents. The City Attorney stated he had not seen the escrow agreement nor paid any attention to it, as he did not know whether or not there had been an agreement reached on the desirability of the trade. If an agreement could be made on the basis of the square foot price, and if an agreement could be made on the configuration of the land and the location then a calculation could be made; but the City Attorney stated he had not checked into this, nor whether or not White Rock was to be vacated. The City Manager stated he was sure the street would not be developed east and west as dedicated, but most of the property would be consumed in streets north and south, and it would still be a street, and a lot more street area than proposed under this plan. The City Attorney asked Mr. Duke, and stated the thing that he had been holding up on, was whether or not this would be an acceptable shape, location, sized piece of land for the Covenant Presbyterian Church. If it is acceptable, and if they would like to investigate the question of price, the City would be glad to go forward. The City had indicated its willingness to make the land available on Northland Drive and buy the Presbyterian land on Balcones. Mr. Duke stated the Pastor and Trustees were supposed to have made a decision with the City Attorney, and that he had a letter in which they confirmed that the three acre tract on Northland Drive, was satisfactory for their purposes, and they had an option to purchase two acres more at 304 a square foot from the City. The Mayor suggested that the City Attorney do the figuring, and the Council would take a look into it.

Mayor Palmer inquired if the petitions from Lyons Road down to Webberville Road had been received. The Director of Public Works stated it had not, but there were other streets in that area, on which petitions for paving had been received. Councilman Long inquired if there was much of a problem collecting the assessments or getting the money in from this particular area. The City Manager stated the payments from the east side were just as good as any other part; that there was 90% collection on all of the paving on the flat rate policy. As to the assessments, individual arrangements were made. He stated no doubt there might be burdens to most of the people, but they still wanted the paving. Councilman Long discussed the paving of Red River in the 4300 block area, and asked that her attention be directed to this when it came up.

The City Manager stated the City Attorney had another inquiry, this time from the STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY for purchase of property that the City owne at 29th and Lamar. The City Attorney pointed out the location on a map as being property east of Lamar, south of 29th Street. He said the city owned the strip on the west side of McAdams Street. The City Manager did not recommend the sale =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 2, 1963. of this property as when 29th Street is widened, it may be needed to provide a grade separation at that point. The City Manager stated this was an example that would face the City from time to time. He discussed the necessity of future widening projects, although no definite plans were made. He recommended that when- ever the City owns property around any intersection, it better hold it for street development. The Council discussed this particular property.

The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: None Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Palmer Not in Council Room when the roll was called: Councilman Shanks The City Manager gave a status report on Koerner Lane, stating MR. GUITON MORGAN would dedicate the right of way to widen Koerner Lane and would provide a 12' strip to serve one parcel of land, which had no frontage on any road for $3102.00 and then he in turn would pay for curb and gutter and other construction costs on paving work to the extent of $1603.25, which would result in the other property owners' carrying the difference. The Director of Water Utilities figured their costs would be $9.00 a foot, which they would have to pay to get the roadway and the street. For that the City would get the sewer, get separate water meters and get the street all paved. Mr. Platt had inquired about this and had indicated the property owners would be agreeable, and Mr. Davis will contact him to see what their reaction will be. The Director of Water Utilities stated all he needed was right of way and bringing the area up to a standard subdivision. The Mayor stated $450 per lot would include street, curb, gutter, sewer and water. The City Manager said the only thing that would be substandard would be two of the lots that were 49 wide, but they had sufficient area, and the one lot that had no frontage on the street but only a 12' easement on the street. The Mayor stated this was a good solution and would improve the area. The City Manager inquired if the Council was ready to meet with the Community Council in regard to the Hospital Survey. The Mayor suggested that this be held up for just a little while. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 2, 1963.
