_ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting January 16, 1964 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 Invocation was delivered by REV. GENE LEGGETT, Associate Pastor, University Methodist Church. COLONEL LACOUTURE expressed appreciation for the many honors bestowed upon those in the Air Defense here, and for Austin's including them in the various activities in this community. He and three other Officers from the Missile Battalion presented to the Mayor and Council Certificates of Honorary Missile Men. Mayor Palmer, on behalf of the Council and the Citizens of Austin, expressed appreciation to those in the Air Defense, stating they were fine citizens and always found their way into the community and civic activities, and Austin felt very strongly about these fine persons and appreciated their being here. The Council recognized MR. JAMES H. SELLSTROM and MR. S. E. DAHLSTROM, two very fine employees who had given long dedicated service to the community and who now were retiring. MR. SELLSTROM has had 25 years, 5 months and 5 days service, and MR. DAHLSTROM retires after 24 years, 3 months and 20 days service. Mayor Palmer présented both a plaque of appreciation. Members of the Council commended the two expressing regrets of their leaving the City's employ. The City Manager related outstanding services of each in his particular field and stated personally he was sorry to see each of them leave. MR. NORMAN BARKER, Finance Director, noted both of these two gentlemen represented 50 years' experience, and both were supervisors, well thought of by the people who worked with them, and by the public. MR. THOMAS HINDERER and MR. FREDRCK JUBY appeared before the Council representing the JEHOVAHS WITNESSES, stating the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, which handles their conventions, wants to bring a very large convention to Austin for four days in July. Mr. Juby said they were able to meet _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS= January 16, 1964 4: all of the City's requirements for the use of the Auditorium except the one that calls for 10% commission on meals that might be served by the Convention. They were told by the Chamber of Commerce that 5,800 persons could be accomodated in the local restaurants. After receiving a letter from the Auditorium Manager concerning this 10% commission fee, the Convention Department began negotiating with another city, and had an invitation to a city just north of Austin, which agreed to waive the concession charge. He and Mr. Hinderer, residents of Austin wanted to bring this large convention to Austin, and were appealing to the Council to waive this 10% concession fee as other cities had done for these large conventions of the Jehovahs Witnesses. Mr. Juby said the decision to come to Austin hinged on this 10% concession charge. The plans are for an English Convention in the Auditorium and a Spanish speaking convention in the Coliseum, which would bring about 4,000. This could mean 14,000 in attendance. He pointed out there were not enough restaurant facilities to handle a convention of this size. MR. HINDERER stated not all of the people could eat at the Restaurants. He explained the Convention's meal service, the set universal price of 65 cents per meal except the limited number of breakfasts for which 35 cents is charged; the delegates' eating while standing and their delivering their trays to the tray washing department. Fifteen percent of the meals are given free to those unable to afford them. He stated nowhere in the United States had any 10% concession fee been required of this Convention. The Mayor explained the policy as established by the Council when the Auditorium first opened. MR. HINDERER pointed out all food items would be purchased locally, and that all work in every department of the Convention is done on a voluntary basis from the membership even to the cleaning crews. Juby stated waiving this 10% concession commission would not set a precedent in that the size of the Convention would be out of the category of other conventions. The Council wanted to look into this policy further, and delayed action until later in the meeting. In the afternoon session the City Manager reviewed the financial status of the Auditorium and Coliseum pointing out the cost of the combined operations exceeded the combined revenues by $40,000. Between 25 and 26% of the revenues at the Auditorium, and 28% at the Coliseum, come from concessions and catering. To eliminate that would mean the loss of from 25 to 26 or 28% of the Revenue. Mr. The Council discussed in lengthy detail policies that might encourage more use of the Auditorium during the months of July and August. Councilman Long moved that the Council do away with the present policy during the months of July and August and set a new policy which wonld give any Conventions coming in here the right, if they want to serve their own meals, to apply to the City Council for a waiver of the fee. The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Long, Shanks, Mayor Palmer Councilman LaRue Not in the Council Room when the roll was called: Councilman White Councilman LaRue voting against the motion, stating the individuals were being encouraged and rewarded by coming in and serving their own meals in this manner, whereas they should be discouraged from serving their own meals and be requested to purchase them throughout the city. Councilman Long moved that the Jehovahs Witnesses be granted permission to come in during the month of July on the date they can reserve the Auditorium, under this new policy. The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, Mayor Palmer None Not in the Council Room when the roll was called: Councilman White _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 16, 1964 Pursuant to published notice thereof at 10:30 A.M., the Council opened the hearing on an Ordinance to annex PORTER JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, ALBERT S.

Pursuant to published notice thereof the following zoning application was publicly heard: AUS-TOWN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, GREG T. SCOTT, By Marion E. Shafer 4800-5016 Springdale Road From Interim "A" Residence and Interim 1st Height & Area To "GR" General Retail and "B" Residence 1st Height & Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission MR.MARION SHAFER represented the applicant, stating this property on 51st Street and Springdale Road was a strategic location for a shopping center and a group of apartments. He said the application had been amended now to fit into formal plans which had been revised to relocate two apartment units to a recently purchased tract adjoining this property under consideration, and south of the proposed 51st Street, which tract is not included in this application. The amended application proposed only part of the property for "GR" General Retail and the remaining property "B" Residence. He pointed out the rapid growth in the north east part of the City, stating there were 5,000 new homes in the area and the development is following Springdale Road. There is no shopping center in this whole area, and he did not believe the zoning of this property to be premature for a shopping center. His discussion covered the need for a street through at the rear of the property and crossing the creek in order to give access to the property south of the creek. He also discussed parking arrangements, stating three and four parking spaces per unit could be provided with ) _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 16, 1964 the additional property purchased from Mr. Schrier. MR. SHAFER aaid the area facing Springdale Road could be developed as a shopping center now without waiting for the development of 51st Street. He described the proposed center stating it included a supermarket, cafeteria, maybe a library site, drug store, all of which operations were big stores and required extensive parking provisions. He described the area immediately surrounding the land as undeveloped, and stated the neighbors' properties adjoining this tract were separated by the creek and wooded land. A pipeline crosses his tract, and the only logical development for that area would be a filling station, but the filling station had located elsewhere. Opposition was expressed by MR. and MRS. TOM ADAMS, 4905 Pecan Springs Road, stating they owned the two acres between the creek and Mr. Scott's property; that the back part of their land is not in the city limits, although the front of the property is and they feared the zoning of the Scott tract might affect the taxes on their property. A sewer easement running down the branch took 30-40' off of their land. It was their desire to see home development in the whole area rather than a shopping center. The Director of Planning gave a staff report stating lack of access to the Hart and Adams properties and bridging the creeks are matters to be considered and the Scott pro- perty can be developed without further subdividing which creates a problem. He said this proposed development conforms to the Master Plan, and Mr. Scott was making preparation for dedicating and improving his part of East 51st Street. Three bridges were involved before East 51st Street can be extended to Springdale Road. Mr. Shafer stated they were striving to get the 30' private drive through, if the other owners would join and build half of it, since such a drive would give access to their property also. It was pointed out lots would be created on a private drive and not a dedicated street, and back portion could not be subdivided no utilities provided. Mr. Shafer said they could not provide this back street, but would provide a drive. Mayor Palmer suggested the applicants purchasing the 51st Street property from Mr. Schrier, and possibly making an exchange of property with the Harts and Adams. Mr. Shafer stated they were ready to develop the shopping center property, and leave the apartments off until the problems could be worked out. Mayor Palmer stated ten feet would be needed to widen Springdale Road, and provision for developing street would be needed. He noted also the drainage problem through the proposed "B" property. The Director of Planning stated Mr. Scott would have to submit a subdivision plan or site plan on the area to be zoned "B" and Mr. Scott was aware of the drainage, and he would have to come back to the City before development was started on that portion of the tract. Councilman Long moved that the Council grant the "GR" General Retail and "B" Residence zoning as amended and as described in Mr. Shafer's letter dated December 17, 1963. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "GR" General Retail and "B" Residence and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. Copy of letter referred to is as follows: "To: The Austin City Council and Austin Planning Commission "December 17, 1963 Re: AMENDMENT of Re-Zoning application for 10.4 Ac. in Henry Warnell survey January 16, 1964 55 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS "Honorable Council and Commission Members: "In our letter of October 28, 1963, The Aus-Town Development Corporation (Greg T. Scott) requested that the Captioned property, as described in the attached metes and bounds description and map, be zoned "GR". "Objections were raised to zoning the ENTIRE tract "GR" and we would like to amend our request and now ask that only part of the tract be zoned "GR" and the remainder be zoned "B". "We request "GR" zoning for all of the described tract North of a line starting in the west line of Springdale Road, three hundred feet North of the point where the common boundary between the Cal Marshall property and this property intersects Springdale Road; then parallel with the South boundary of this property and the North boundary of the Cal Marshall property for 215 feet to a point; thence, 245 feet NNW to the intersection of the North boundary of the Otto Mittag property with the West boundary of this property, as outlined in red on the attached map and Plot Plan; and zone the remainder of this property South of said line, as shown in blue on the attached map and Plot Plan "B". "This partition between "GR" and "B" zoning results from changing the Southernmost building from a commercial building to an apartment building, and moving two of the apartments back onto the property recently purchased from Mr. Schreier. "This in no way changes the individual buildings. These are quite specific. The working drawings for the apartments having already been built and tested at 1205 E. 52nd Street by this applicant. "Sincerely yours, s/ M. E. Shafer M. E. Shafer" The City Manager brought up the request of MR. ED BRIDGES to erect a sign on a pole which was in the side walk area, in the 2500 block of Guadalupe north of Hemphill's Book Store. He stated this particular site is located further east than the front of Hemphill's Store. He explained the property line situation existing. The City Manager stated he saw no reason why Mr. Bridges should not hang his sign provided he complies with clearance requirements, etc., and agrees to move it when requested to do so, and he would recommend that Mr. Bridges be granted the permit on that basis. The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Mayor Palmer inquired about any investigation of acquiring the property for widening Guadalupe in this area of the 2500 block; and stated any time any remodeling is done, that the owners be required to set back, and maybe someday, Guadalupe can be widened.

It was known there was a drainage in this area and a large drainage ditch is being developed in this right of way. Another street has been dedicated which will serve in place of this one, and he recommended that this first right of way be vacated as a street, but retained as a drainage easement.
