    Plans for Brackenridge Hospital's first phase and several large land annexations were approved. However, numerous controversial zoning requests, particularly for waterfront properties, sparked intense public debate over traffic, lake views, and potential "sky ride" projects, leading to one commercial zoning denial and several postponements for further study.
  • Mayor connected with White House:

    Mayor Palmer was invited to Washington D.C. to meet with Vice President Hubert Humphrey and President Lyndon B. Johnson, discussing urban challenges and receiving an informal White House dinner invitation.
  • Concerns over local military base's future:

    Citizens voiced fears that a proposed federal military merger could deactivate a local Army Corps headquarters, potentially causing an estimated annual economic loss of over $1 million for the city.

He spoke, personally, stating he was proud of the very fine City Council that Austin had. MR. TOWNSEND MILLER, Chairman of Austin Industrial Week, recalled several years ago the Industrial Development Council of the Chamber of Commerce recognized the values accrued of locating local industry and development of those within the City. He read the following: THE STATE OF TEXAS ) COUNTY OF TRAVIS ) ) CITY OF AUSTIN and KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENT, THAT WHEREAS, manufacturing plays a major role in the economy of our city; WHEREAS, every citizen should recognize the economic contribution made by Austin's existing industry; and WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of every Austin citizen to encourage and promote the growth of our local manufacturing firms; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, THAT the week of April 1-7 be designated as "Austin Industry Week"; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT all citizens of Austin are encouraged to show their appreciation to Austin industry by participating in recognition activities during the week of April 1-7. Councilman White moved that the resolution be adopted. The motion was seconded by Councilman LaRue. The resolution was adopted by standing vote. Mayor Palmer stated every member of the Council had pledged to help and assist in the encouragement of bringing industry into Austin. Recently the Chamber of Commerce recognized 222 real fine, good, clean industries which had located in Austin and helped in the economic growth of the City and the Mayor stated the Council was glad to proclaim this week as Industrial Week. Councilman Long entered the Council Room at this time. Mayor Palmer expressed appreciation to this group's recognizing Austin as one of the pleasant places to live, stating it is encouraging to be recognized in the U.S. News and World Report. He said Austin had always been a well planned City from the time Mr. Edwin Waller first laid out the original City; that many - CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS March 25, 1965 people had made Austin what it is today; and if there were no regard for the past, there would be no long recognition of the present. It is good to recognize the many, many citizens over the years that have helped develop and plan Austin and make it the City it is today. He said it is known that the next two years are going to be rather exciting years in the growth of the City, as some announced plans from other governmental agencies will certainly involve the overall development of the City, and all will work together to continue to make it the finest city it is. The Mayor announced it was 10:30 A.M., and opened the hearing on the ordinance annexing 378 acres more or less out of the J. C.

ALFRED SPANTON did not object to what was being built, but inquired if the doctors had acquired all the land now, or were they going to continue to purchase more including his which he did not wish to sell. He feared this change of zoning would also mean an increase of taxes on his homestead. It was pointed out his property was zoned "C-2" Commercial.

ΚΕΝΝΕΤΗ Ε. DAVIS By Edward M. Horne 1008-1018 Reinli 1020-1030 Reinli From "A" Residence lst Height & Area and "C" Commercial 5th Height & Area To "GR" General Retail 2nd Height & Area From "A" Residence lst Height & Area and "C" Commercial 5th Height & Area To "B" Residence 2nd Height & Area RECOMMENDED (As amended) by the Planning Commission MR. SAM PERRY represented the applicant, stating the recommendation contained in the Planning Commission report was acceptable to Mr. Davis, and he was ready to dedicate the 15' for street purposes. It was brought out there was a =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 25, 1965 question of whether the additional right of way should be 19' rather than 15'. Councilman Long felt that 15' would be sufficient. Mr. Perry stated Mr. Davis had entered into a contract to sell this property with the understanding there would be 15' right of way, since the 15' pattern had been set. The Planning Director said the street should be 70', and it would take 19' to straighten the street coming through from Highway 290. Mr. Davis believed he could get two more feet. The Mayor asked Mr. Davis to contact his purchaser and explain they were trying to keep the curb line straight. After discussion, Councilman Long moved that the Council sustain the Planning Commission on the application as amended. 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 to "GR" General Retail 2nd Height and Area had been granted for 1008-1018 Reinli, and the change to "B" Residence 2nd Height and Area had been granted for 1020-1030 Reinli and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. MRS. VIVIAN TUCKER 1100-1218 South Inter- By Arthur E. Pihlgren regional Highway From "A" Residence lst Height & Area To "LR" Local Retail 5th Height & Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED "0" Office 5th Height & Area MR. JAMES HOLMANS represented the applicant stating this change of zoning was for the Sheraton Hotel Chain and Shell Service Station. The Assistant Planning Director stated this was the same zoning under which the Gondolier had been constructed, and the development would be provided for under the Special Permit provisions, giving the Council a right to review the plans. The Assistant Planning Director mentioned the tremendous effect the Expressway System would have on this property. Mayor Palmer noted there was a deep gully on the property, and the City would have to know just how the developers planned access to the frontage road. After discussion, Councilman Long moved that the Council sustain the recommendation of the Planning Commission and grant the change to "O" Office 5th Height and Area. 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 "0" Office 5th Height and Area and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. CITY OF AUSTIN By Paul D. Jones CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Tract 1 2013-15, 2105-09 Berg- man Avenue 2012-14 Bogle Avenue Tract 2 2017-19, 2101-03 Berg- man Avenue 2016-18 Bogle Avenue March 25, 1965 From "A" Residence To "C" Commercial From "A" Residence To "C-1" Commercial RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Councilman Long inquired if the Parks and Recreation Board had been notified of this. It was stated this project was a part of the overall plan, and the Board was aware of this. Councilman long said she knew nothing about building a cafe there, as it was supposed to be a garden center. The City Attorney stated the question raised was how much land was leased, and that has already been decided by the Council, and a majority of the Council amended the lease so as to permit the construction of the cafe and additional facilities on the north portion of the area. The lease that was granted was broad enough to cover the operations of a restaurant, and it was amended to include additional land which the City had acquired. The question now is the one of zoning. After discussion, Councilman Shanks moved that the Council sustain the Planning Commission and grant the change. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: Councilman Long Councilman LaRue stated he was very much opposed to the lease in the first instance because of the fact he had checked with some of the bankers who said this was an unfair arrangement; but since this has already been done, and the question today is actually a zoning matter, he voted for the change of zoning. Councilman long stated this is very bad zoning, and is inconsistent with the usual zoning of "C-1" Commercial uses, and she voted against the change. The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "C" Commercial for Tract 1 and to "C-1" for Tract 2 and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. DR. D. A. BAGGETT By M.B. Braswell 804-806 Manor Road 2200-2202 Swisher Street From "BB" Residence 2nd Height & Area Το "C-1" Commercial 2nd Height & Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Councilman Long noted there was this "BB" Residence 2nd Height and Area next to "C-1" Commercial off of Manor Road and Swisher, and both Swisher and Manor Road are 50' in width. The Assistant Planning Director stated this was to be a drive-in grocery development. Councilman Shanks moved that the change - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 25, 1965 to "C-l" Commercial 2nd Height and Area be granted. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Director of Planning reported the staff had recommended to the Commission that the street be widened. The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "C-l" Commercial 2nd Height and Area and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. FELIX GRIFFIN, JR. 1617 South First Street By Al Mendez From "C" Commercial 2nd Height & Area To "C-2" Commercial 2nd Height & Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission No one appeared to represent the applicant. Mrs. Priscilla Wimberly filed a petition with 16 names objecting to this change of zoning. Mrs. S. W. Hitchcock, 1602 South 1st Street, whose property adjoined the applicant's property, expressed opposition. Councilman long moved that the Council uphold the Planning Commission and deny the zoning request. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change had been DENIED. KATHLEEN WALSH BELSHAN & MAHRICE DOKE 1500-1504 Scenic Drive By Wroe Owens From "C" Commercial lst Height & Area To "C" Commercial 3rd Height & Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Mr. Bill Mockford represented the applicants stating this request was for "C" Commercial 3rd Height and Area to erect an apartment house, with one and a half times the necessary required off-street parking to be provided in the building either at ground level or below the street level. The building site will have 30,000 square feet, and is abutted by 3rd Height and Area, by the L.C.R.A. and on the north the City boat docks. The architect, Mr. Charles Granger, described the construction, landscaping, etc., with emphasis on keeping the view of the lake. This is one of the few sites where such private development could take place and this zoning would be a natural transition from the Commercial of the L.C.R.A. and the boat docks, and the residential section to the north. In answer to Councilman Shanks' inquiry, Mr. Granger stated there would be 160 bedrooms. Mr. Mockford stated the tract was zoned already for a commercial use; and this change in height and area would give them a chance to develop someCITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 25, 1965 thing beautiful in the area. The same number of bedrooms could be constructed, but the units would be smaller. They planned a luxurious type of apartment. Mr. Trueman O'Quinn speaking for approximately 30 property owners in the area who would be affected by this zoning and who are opposed to this zoning. He stated less than 3/4 of an acre is above the water line and two acres are under water subject to flooding. Third height and area will take off the restrictions, so the entire lot can be used, and there would be no limitation to the height. Mr. O'Quinn stated the whole water front needed a restudy and reevaluation, and he cited three previous requests which had been studied and turned down. He tied this particular zoning request into the sky ride proposal, to which this group was definitely opposed because of the traffic and parking. Mr. O'Quinn then reviewed studies made in the past to provide the needs of partic ular uses, and stated with two lakes, the City now was confronted with water front zoning, to take into consideration the lake's being a traffic barrier, the residential and commercial uses, and the question of the University neighborhood. He asked the Council to deny or delay any further extension on this tract until it could be studied, and something worked out in an orderly way that would not harm the interests of the public. Parking for the sky ride will be a problem, as the city area is terribly crowded now, and that site was purchased for this boat launching and parking and is one of only two sites on the lake available for boat launching. Mr. O'Quinn asked that the study be made. MRS. ROBBIN ANDERSON, 3606 Bonnie Road reported cars and trailers were parked almost to her home. She said there is a need to clean the water front and make it more attractive either by private enterprise or the City; but there is nowhere to park. Councilman Long asked why no one appeared at the zoning and Planning Commission's hearing. It was stated most property owners in the area were out of the 300' distance. MR. CHARLES WENDLANDT had an interest in the view of the lake also; and if this 90' building were erected, it would be in front of his property and would take away his view of the lake to give to another. He too pointed out the traffic problems and the incline on the parking area. He said an apratment with 60 units could be constructed on this property as now zoned; but the significant factor is the overall area needs some form of a study. In connection with the parking facilities of the City for recreation purposes, there might be some question as to its being properly used under the present zoning, and it does not seem to be consistent with the law. Mr. Wendlandt also discussed the sky ride with its very limited parking, and the possibility of double decking a parking area. Mr. Wendlandt offered 2000' square feet of land which would be available cheaper than constructing a double deck facility, and he would sell it at less commission to prevent the double decking. Other property might be available to Mr. Doke at a reasonable price. He protested the 3rd Height and Area zoning without an overall plan and study; and asked that provision be made for two or three level park- ing somewhere other than at his back door. MRS. MARVIN stated this area had been recognized as a beautiful residential area of lovely homes; but the traffic to the lake had grown terrifically, and the area is congested. The City does not have sufficient parking space to accomodate the present boat owners. General access to this section is not good now; and with the increased traffic of the University student houses and complete development of the Brackenridge tract plus the increased traffic crossing the low water bridge the situation will be complicated further. She commended Mr. Doke CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- March 25, 1965 MR. SMARTT stated both he and MR. RICHARD BAKER suggest the two applications be considered jointly. Mr. Meyer's property is located on Red River Street directly across from Hancock Center; and Mr. Coches property is behind Mr. Meyer's, and facing on Caswell. After briefly describing the many zones in the area Mr. Richard Baker joined Mr. Smartt in requesting an area study, perhaps considering "B" Residence lst Height and Area on Red River, with a buffer of "BB" Residence back to "A" Residence, and asked that such a study be made at an early date at the convenience of the Council and Planning Commission. Mayor Palmer stated since these applications were advertised for public hearing, they would be heard. MR. SMARTT emphasized this was a changing vicinity and listed the many recent developments on Red River, stating there had not been a single residential "A" dwelling constructed in 20 years on Red River. The University is asking to condemn 21 square blocks in this general area, taking in a well defined residential section and their little area would be only a pocket of residential remaining. Opposition was expressed by DR. ALBERT TISDALE, 4205 Caswell, stating this was a lovely neighborhood with fine homes and the property owners wanted to keep it as such. Apartments do not fit into a residential section as this. MR. T. E. CARROLL doubted if Mr. Meyer paid as much for his whole block as each of his neighbors paid for one piece of property. They do not want a study to change the whole neighborhood. MR. MARVIN MARTIN opposed any change and wanted the area left residential "A". MRS. THELMA CARROLL protested any change, as they had located in a beautiful residential section and had not contemplated any zoning change there. Across Red River, the commercial development did not affect them much, but if it intrudes into their homes, the property will erode, and there will be an exodus of fine citizens from a good neighborhood. MRS. RAYMOND DAWSON, 723 Park Boulevard, in opposition, stated when a number of apartments are placed in this area and their traffic is thrown on Red River, there will be a traffic hazard. MRS. M. MARTIN represented four citizens in opposition MRS. SAM BURNETT, LILLIAN ZACHERY, MRS. BERNARD SMITH, MRS. DANIEL SPONBERG and MRS. ATKINSON. MR. BILL GRAHAM, 4211 Caswell, spoke in opposition to the change. Mrs. Albert Tisdale pointed out this location was right in the middle of the block, and there is not even an alley between it and the adjoining properties. One property owner having been in four war zones residing in large apartment houses, objected to this apartment development, as he wanted the quiet neighborhood to remain. MR. JOEL ALDRIDGE, 803 Park Boulevard, MISS ANTOINETTE ROEBUCK, speaking for herself and her mother; and others disapproved of the change of zoning. Councilman Shanks discussed the advantages of having an area study made. Mr. Baker representing Mr. Cocke, stated he had a very large tract of land and had moved into the area into a duplex he constructed. He could build a 5 unit apartment and provide not less than 10 off street parking places. Mr. Baker believed this "BB" Residence zone would be a buffer between the Red River property and the residential property. Mayor Palmer said the Council would drive out and look at this area, and make a decision on either asking the Planning Commission for an area study or going ahead and taking action on the appli- cation. WALTER NETTLE By D. W. Morris 6509-6511 Berkman Drive From "A" Residence To "GR" General Retail NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission - CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS : March 25, 1965 MR. MORRIS represented Mr. Nettle, stating conditions had changed in the area; a recent zoning had been granted, and old houses are being moved in for rental purposes. "GR" General Retail would be more beneficial than undesirable houses. If this property were zoned, Mr. Maddox who lives on the corner would like to have his property zoned also. Mr. Maddox stated Berkman Drive had been continued through to the Highway, the new Reagan High School would create more traffic, and his property is no longer suited for residential. When Berkman is widened, a majority of the right of way would be taken from his property. His property could be used better as commercial. Mr. Nettle's proposal would not be an intrusion, as the intrusion had already been made, and these duplexes have been moved in. Mr. Morris stated the property was under contract to MR. ROY KRAMP who owned the Electronics business at the corner of Cameron and 51st Street which had been purchased by the City. MR. KRAMP explained his business would not create a lot of traffic, and they had built up their business but there was no property available for the move except in large tracts which are to be developed into shopping centers, Mr. Nettle stated no one would build a new residence in this neighborhood because of its age, and it would be better to have this type of business than undesirable homes. Set backs could be required to take care of future widening of Berkman Drive. In discussing the widening, Mr. Maddox stated he would not be willing to dedicate any property as long as it was residential. Mr. Nettle said he was willing to dedicate the 20' right of way, and the purchaser was willing to accept it, after it is zoned. The Council wanted to drive by this area. Councilman Long wanted to consider the open space. The Mayor said the Council would give an answer as soon as possible. EMMA GERTRUDE WENDEBURG & HILMA GRACE MAGOWN By Phil Mockford 2614-2616 Wilson Street 400-416 Cumberland Road From "A" Residence lst Height & Area To "B" Residence 2nd Height & Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED "BB" Resi- dence 1st Height & Area MR. MOCKFORD said the Planning Commission recommended "BB" Residence lst The Height and Area but they would accept "B" Residence lst Height and Area. applicants want to build apartment hotels, which would not be economical under "BB" Residence. He asked the Council to drive by and see the unusual conditions existing in the area--the various uses, permitted either by zoning or special permits; for the telephone Company and City utilities; the creek which runs through the property, limiting the development. Councilman long stated in order to do the whole area justice, the Council should look at it. MAURICE HALL By Robert O. Smith CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1001-101l Flores Street 1000-1018, 1019-1027 Waterfront Street 21-29 San Marcos 14-18 Interregional Highway March 25, 1965 From "A" Residence lst Height & Area To "C-1" Commercial 3rd Height & Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED "C" Commer- cial 5th Height and Area for 100' strip located at 14-18 Interregional Highway., 1021-27, 1016- 18 Waterfront Street, 1007-11 Flores; and "C" Commercial 3rd Height & Area for 1000-14 Water- front St., 21-29 San Marcos, 1001-05 Flores St. with understanding that the Council will consider "C-1" Commercial 3rd Height & Area for the restaurant proper when located. MR. SMITH concurred in the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and thought it was reasonable. Councilman Long inquired about a trade of part of the property to square the City property out. Mr. Smith stated it was his contention the City already owned this particular property about which she was speaking. The City Attorney said it would be a good idea that the records be settled at this time and the Concil dispose of the matter. Previous action had been taken to condemn this particular tract for public use, and the suit should be brought to a conclusion. Mr. Smith said his client had been paying taxes. The City Attorney suggested the other publicly owned parcels on the west side might be considered for zoning. The Planning Director pointed out with respect to the Town Lake Plan, some portion of Mr. Hall's property above Waterfront Street may need to be acquired. He showed on the map that the shore line was nearer the property than indicated. He raised an objection to the 3rd Height and Area, as it would permit an unlimited density; and any development there would utilize the publicly owned open space for parking area. He said the preliminary plans included a roadway which would cross the corner of the Hall pro- perty, and he believed this could be specifically located in a short time. The City Attorney noted the nearest 3rd Height and Area zoning was at 8th and the Interregional. It was believed by the following week the plans could be fairly well developed locating the roadway.

The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Ayes: Noes: None Councilman LaRue moved that MAYOR PALMER be sent to Washington, D. C., March 30th, as the official representative of the City of Austin. The motion was seconded by Councilman Shanks.

Mayor Palmer presiding, read the telegram from VICE PRESIDENT HUBERT HUMPHREY, acting as liason between the Office of the President and the Mayors of the cities, announcing a conference in Washington, March 30th with Mayors of the Nation's large cities to exchange views on problems faced in the cities and the Administration's program, and proposals for coping with them. The Vice President invited the Mayor to attend the conference, along with Secretary of Labor Wirtz, Director Shriver of the Office of Economic Opportunity, Administrator Weaver, Housing and Home Finance Agency; and representatives of other depart- ments and agencies involved in urban problems. Mayor Palmer read the invitation to him and Mrs. Palmer as follows: "The President and Mrs. Johnson hope you can join them and other Mayors and their wives at an informal dinner March 30th, 7:00 o'clock at the White House. While the President has a briefing session at 7:00 for the Mayors, Mrs. Johnson will show a movie of paintings in the White House to the ladies. Formal invitation follows." =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 25, 1965 Councilman Shanks moved that MRS. NELLE McCONNELL be instructed to answer an acceptance immediately. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Mayor Palmer suggested taking a copy of the schematic of the Hospital Plan and reviewing it with Mr. Slayton of the Urban Renewal Agency. Councilman Long read a letter from MR. ARTHUR J. RAMSEL stating "The City Council has not made known its stand on Defense Secretary McNamara's proposal to merge the Army Reserve and the National Guard. Is the Council aware that this merger will result in the deactivation of the Headquarters VIII U.S. Army Corps located in our city. Is the Council further aware that this deactivation will result in the loss of over $1,000,000 per annum to our City. Headquarters VIII Corps has over 200 civilian employees drawing an average of $5,000 a year. If these people are transferred out of the community, Austin can expect to lose $1,000,000 a year. Can the City afford this? It is understood that Senators Yarbrough and Tower oppose the proposed merger. Councilman Pickle has made no definite commitment. How does the Council stand on the issue? "P.S. The above salary figures do not include 113 military personnel assigned to Headquarters VIII Corps in Austin. They draw and spend approximately $565,000 per year in the City. If the Headquarters dose, the money will also leave the community." Councilman Long inquired about the deactivation of the Eighth Corps. The City Manager reviewed what had been published in the newspapers. Councilman LaRue stated the City was not in a position to take a stand one way or the other. Councilman Long stated if the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Navy and Army find this is one way to cut down on the National expense and put it into civilian circulation whereby the same amount would probably be received back in Austin in other fields such as hospitals, roads, welfare, parks and recreation, she could not see that Austin would lose anything in the long run. If the Reserve is not needed, she would see no reason for having the Reserve. Brief discussion was held. Councilman LaRue requested that the Council send the operator of the Bait House a letter giving him a date of September 15th, for the expiration of his lease, as he had been concerned and was trying to contact each of the Council Members. Councilman Shanks stated if the property were not going to be used, why not let the operator take his time. Councilman Shanks moved that the contract with him be terminated on September lst. The motion was seconded by Councilman LaRue. Councilman Shanks amended his motion to notify the operator that the lease will terminate effective October 1st. Roll call on the amended motion showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: Councilman Long - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 25, 1965 Councilman Long voting against the motion stating September 1st would probably be more convenient for the operator. Councilman Shanks reported a number of requests from people at the intersection of Balcones and Hancock where the stop signs had been reversed, and he asked that the City Manager look into this and have the Traffic Engineer see if they have need there for four way stop signs instead of two. Councilman Long reported the State Parks and Wild Life Department has been designated by Governor Connally, and a bill has been passed to make it official, as an agency to handle all applications for Texas for Federal Aid under the Land and Water Conservation Fund of $5,500,000 annually for grants for local and state recreational projects. She inquired if Austin had made its requested report. The City Manager stated he was certain this had been done, and they were delving into this as they wanted to take advantage of that program; but they had been informed it will be at least two years, which would be too late to use it in their new project. The Planning Director, who had talked with the Washington Department, reported it would be about two years, as the State had to become actively involved before the City could participate. The Planning Director reported the Recreation Director was working with MR. WELDON WATSON on this. Councilman Long inquired if the City plan was ready to be submitted so that Austin could be one of the first cities. The Mayor stated the Council would ask the City Manager to look into this and make a report. The City Manager announced the plans for the Fire Marshal's Office were on the table in the next room, and invited the Council Members to look at them; or if they wanted him to review them with the Council. Councilman long asked for a description. The City Manager stated the building would cost about $125,000 and would be located on the south part of the property north of the Sand Beach Reserve. The building will include the offices of the Fire Marshal and his staff, a conference room where the Fire Marshal can have groups to come in for instruction on fire safety, and the room which will accommodate about 100 would also be available as a small auditorium. He described the lower floor facilities for the public during times the Festival Beach is being used. The estimate he had obtained on the building was about the first of next year. Failure to have the building by the summer may cause the cancellation of some of the projects. The City Manager stated he had inquired if there were any possibility of getting some phase construction to complete the lower part of the building this summer. The construction engineer will check this, but he doubts that can be done due to air conditioning technicalities; however they will explore this further. The City Manager reminded the Council of the invitation to the Downtowners preview this night and opening ceremonies Friday; also the Economic Development Council's dinner on April 1st. Councilman Long offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, on January 24, 1952, the City Council of the City of Austin adopted an ordinance declaring the necessity for and ordering the permanent =CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS March 25, 1965 improvement of certain streets within the City of Austin, including "West 5th Street from 156 feet west of Bowie Street to west curb line of Bowie Street (north side)", and notice of said ordinance was recorded in the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas, at Volume 1220, pages 197-198, and at Volume 1242, pages 75-76; and, WHEREAS, the above referenced portion of West 5th Street was improved by the owner of the abutting tract of land in accordance with the above mentioned ordinance, and said tract has never been assessed for such improvements by the City Council, said tract of land being more particularly described as follows, to wit: Now, Therefore, The South 100 x 156 feet of Lots 9, 10 & 11, Raymond's Plateau, Outlot ll, Division Z, Original City of Austin; BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That W. T. Williams, Jr., City Manager of the City of Austin, be and he is hereby authorized and directed to execute, on behalf of the City of Austin, a release of any and all liens or equities against the above described tract of land which may have arisen by virtue of the above referenced ordinance of January 24, 1952. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The City Manager stated in connection with the matter of the Master Plan change made last fall on the Missouri Pacific right of way, the Minutes indicated the whole area was changed, and the City Attorney had suggested the best way to correct this matter would be to correct the Minutes to show what the Council's intention was. Councilman Long moved that the Council reconsider the vote by which the Minutes of November 19, 1964, were approved. Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: The motion, seconded by Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Councilman Long moved that the Minutes of November 19, 1964, be corrected to show that the vote to change the portion of the development plan was for the area between the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company property and Shoal Creek rather than between the Missouri Pacific Boulevard and Shoal Creek. (To remain industrial) The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Assistant City Manager submitted an invitation to the Council and Administrative Staff to be the guest of MR. RUDY CISNEROS for an appreciation dinner next Thursday at an hour to be set by the Council. Councilman Shanks ved - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 25, 1965 that Mr. Cisneros' invitation be accepted and the time be set at whenever is convenient. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Assistant City Manager announced that MR. CHARLES SAUNDERS was leaving the City employ to accept an appointment with MERRILL, LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH and MR. JIM DEBERRY will move into his position. Councilman LaRue moved that the Mayor send a letter to Mr. Saunders commending him for the work he has done for the City of Austin, and express regrets of his leaving. The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The Mayor read a note that Mr. Kenneth Davis had asked for a clarification of the amount of right of way necessary. (Zoning request of Mr. Davis on 1008-1030 Reinli, from "A" to "C"). The property was sold with the understanding that a 15' right of way would be dedicated. The purchasers made their plans and specifications for application for a loan, and the loan was granted on that basis. Mr. Davis wanted to know if the Council would accept the 15'. He would endeavor to get the other two feet. The Council Members indicated they would. Mayor Palmer read a letter from the Austin State School commending the City Fire Department for performing in its usual professional manner and in their inspection and clean up work, and expressing to the City of Austin Fire Department thanks for assisting in protecting the lives of the students at the Austin State School, as well as protecting the State of Texas property against damage from fire. Mayor Palmer read a letter from MRS. Z. T. SCOTT, asking the Council's consideration in voting against the sky ride next to the boat docks. The sky ride would undoubtedly be a very noisy operation, and the residents overlooking Lake Austin object to the Colorado River's being used for commercial ventures that will disturb the peace, quiet and beauty of their daily lives. Councilman Shanks suggested that Mr. Doke be told the Council was expecting him to work out the proper parking arrangements. The Mayor filed a balance sheet of all Funds of the Urban Renewal Agency at the end of 1964. The Council went into Executive Session to appoint Election Officials for the April 3rd Council Election.
