The motion, seconded by Councilman Shanks, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None The City Manager submitted a request from the Architects representing St. David's Episcopal Church for permission to make some changes in the sidewalk area around the Church. A new building is being constructed on the east of the Church. On the west side is a high retaining wall on San Jacinto and on 7th, now on the curb line. The Church would like to excavate the sidewalk area, build a new retaining wall six feet back from the curb, place a 6' wide sidewalk at curb grade from the alley along the north side of 7th Street, and on San Jacinto. The City Manager explained the present historical church would remain, as it is the oldest Protestant church in Texas, and it was desired by many that the building as it now exists, be retained. He said the Church would install the new sidewalk and new retaining wall. Another request, the Church would like to level the alley north of the Church, and that also would be at its cost. The Mayor stated this would be an improvement for the public's use particularly in light of all the foot traffic around the Federal Building. Councilman Shanks moved that the requests as outlined by the City Manager be granted. The motion, seconded by Councilman White, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 13, 1965 Councilman White moved that MR. AMOS HEROLD be heard. The motion was seconded by Councilman Long. Roll call showed a unanimous vote. MR. HEROLD discussed the approval of the long range study of the water and sewer system, in line with some proposal in Washington in creating a Department of Housing and Urban Renewal which is supposed to have some power over water and sewer requirements. He asked the Council to oppose such a proposal. Councilman White moved that DR. CHARLES PEAVY be heard. The motion was seconded by Councilman Shanks. Roll call showed a unanimous vote. DR. PEAVY reviewed the procedure in which his zoning and application on 3703-3711 Manchaca Road, from "A" Residence to "0" Office had been handled and the delay resulting from the procedure. Interest was accumulating, and no work could start until the property becomes zoned, and the earliest date scheduled for him was June 17th. The Director of Planning explained the delay, and recommended that his application specially be set for June 3, along with another zoning request. Councilman Long moved that the Council set the following zoning applications for public hearing at 11:00 A.M., June 3, 1965: DR. CHARLES PEAVY 3703-3711 Manchaca Road ROBERT K. MEYER, TRUSTEE, By John 0. Raney 128-300 Alpine Road Additional Area 120-126 Alpine Road From "A" Residence To "0" Office RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission From "A" Residence To "B" Residence RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Noes: None Councilman Long moved that MR. W. R. COLEMAN and MR. KEN WALLACE be heard. The motion was seconded by Councilman Shanks. Roll call showed a unanimous vote. MR. COLEMAN displayed a model of an excursion boat they proposed to run on Town Lake. They wanted to go on record that they had been going through the proper channels to try to put this on the lake, having discussed this with the members of the Parks Board and Director of Recreation, and they have a hearing scheduled with the Parks Board Monday night. He wanted to go on record that they have been interested and had been working on this for over two or three months with the Recreation Director and other parties concerned, and they were making a formal request to the Council for permission to operate their boat on Town Lake, and for leasing City property from which to dock the boat. A site on West 1st Street directly across from the Austin Recreation Department would satisfy most of the parties concerned. Mr. Coleman described the boat and estimated its cost at about $50,000, stating it would be constructed in Austin. Councilman White inquired about the motors, and how much noise would be made as they came down the river. - CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS_ May 13, 1965 Mr. Coleman explained these would be diesel motors, the same as proposed by the other people promoting a similar operation. He said these motors would make no more noise than a passing car. Councilman White said the people complained to him about these motors, and this noise would be something that would have to be considered very carefully. Mayor Palmer stated the Council could not give any type of exclusive franchise on Town Lake, and said there was another request before the Council. He asked the gentlemen if there were two or three other requests, if they would still want to operate. Mr. Coleman stated they were prepared, if they have permission, to go ahead on this particular boat, and they would try to make it available for the Aqua Festival. Mr. Wallace stated 200 people could be accomodated; but on peak times, they planned to have a sistership for those periods and for chartering. Mr. Coleman showed a sketch of the parking area they would like to lease, and showed spaces for about 56 automobilesabout 200' just west of the Lamar Bridge. He wanted to request permission also for taking on passengers in front of the Auditorium, and also at the restaurants along the lake. The Mayor stated arrangements would have to be worked out with the restaurants for docking, to be approved by the Council; but a docking facility in front of the Auditorium would have to be worked out with the City. MR. WALLACE reviewed this plan of operation briefly: the excursion would be about 45 minutes; and two boats and one for charter for convention parties are planned; and insurance will be provided. These are details they would get into later. The City Astogney stated it would be very helpful if a detailed proposal were presented in writing, and he called attention to the policy to be resolved about motor boats on Town Lake. Mr. Coleman noted the FUNTIER CAPITAL OF TEXAS should have something to offer for fun, and this enterprise is something that would be beneficial to them and to the City. In answer to Councilman Long's question, Mr. Coleman said he was a designer. MR. AMOS HEROLD inquired about the safety factors of the excursion boat designed to carry 200 people. Mr. Wallace assured this would be a safe venture. The Mayor asked if they had a Corporation or an Association, or if they were filing their notice with the Council or submitting their proposition as KEN WALLACE and BILL COLEMAN. The gentle- men stated this was the request of KEN WALLACE and BILL COLEMAN, but the proposal may come in as a corporation. The Mayor announced the Council had received their application to operate this excursion boat subject to all details. Councilman LaRue moved that MR. BILL CARPENTER, Student Religious Liberals of Austin, be heard. The motion was seconded by Councilman Long. Roll call showed a unanimous vote. MR. CARPENTER read a resolution by the Student Religious Liberals of Austin, requesting the Council to establish and maintain a Human Relations Commission; and provide a paid staff authorized to mediate grievances out of court and assist in filing suits against unrepentant lawbreakers; in order that Austin might deserve to keep its good name as the Friendly City and its loyalty to America as a law abiding City. Councilman White moved that MR. WALTER TIMBERLAKE be heard. The motiones seconded by Councilman Long, Roll call showed a unanimous vote. MR. TIMBERLAKE stated Mr. Bekens had appeared before the Council representing the State Taverns Association. Since then the Texas Tavern Association, May 13, 1965 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Austin Area Chapter, had elected him President, and he apoligized for the manner in which Mr. Bekens spoke at the Council. In answer to Councilman Shanks' question, Mr. Timberlake stated Mr. Bekens was sent in to Austin to organize the taverns in this area. Mr. Timberlake feared there may be many violations, as people did not know they were in violation. On the zoning question, he asked what the Council was going to do--if everyone was going to be able to come up and rezone their property or if they would have to go out of business; or if charges would be filed on them. The Mayor stated there is a law and an ordinance, and the law would be carried out. It is necessary to investigate these complaints when they are filed; and if there are violations, the Building Official will have to carry out his duties. Since the Taverns are organized now and have representation, perhaps the Council should schedule a meeting with them and find out what is the best approach to this. He pointed out it is a matter of zoning, and if all these requests for changes come in, that is one thing that will have to be considered; if it is a matter of other violations to be controlled under another agency that is something else. The Council has not discussed what its procedure will be. Councilman Long, to clarify a statement made last week that was misunderstood by some, said it was not her intention nor the rest of the Council's to put people out of business, but to work these problems out. There are laws and they try to enforce the zoning ordinances; and if these people are in violation of the zoning ordinance, they would be expected to conform. Since there is an Association the Taverns are aware of the ordinance Those provisions and most will make application for "C-2" Commercial zoning. businesses which would not qualify for "C-2" Commercial zoning would have an alternative of serving food. She did not think the City would start filing wholesale on people until they got their house in order. Councilman Shanks stated if just consideration were going to be given to these people, and they should have just consideration, that it would not be the intention of any member of the Council to put anybody out of business; but in the days of equal rights, these people that have been filed on should be given consideration too. Some kind of policy should be considered that would give fair treatment for all the Tavern owners--not just one or two. MR. TIMBERLAKE discussed the matter, stating the operators feared being put out of business. They want to try to work something out. Councilman LaRue, to make sure there was no question on the City's part in helping create this situation said, the City had passed on every individual case, on the basis of the equipment; so they were all complying so far as the City could tell, except those that were in non-conforming areas. There is no dereliction on the City's part. The Mayor thanked Mr. Timberlake. The City Manager called attention to the filing of the Electric Utilities Monthly Report; the Street Paving Summary; and the Fiscal Status of the Voluntary Paving Program as of April 30, 1965. The City Manager stated that last week the Council went to look at the property Mr. Mac Hull was asking to use for a Little League Ball Park, and the Director of Public Works had staked it out on the ground now. Later in the afternoon meeting, the Council after making another on-site inspection, discussed the matter again in detail. Councilman Shanks said it was so late in the year they could not do anything about it and suggested talking to Mr. Hull to find out some answers to the various questions. Councilman Long asked the City Manager to restate his observations on this situation. The City Manager referred to two statements: (1) the principle was not good for the City of Austin to furnish May 13, 1965 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS playground space for people of other communities who were not taxpayers of Austin. (2) Mr. Hull's group own one parcel of land and need some City property to tie to it to develop the use they want to make of their own property. That purchase hinges on whether they are permitted to use the City property. If there is a policy on the use of City property it would be on a temporary basis from year to year, and there would be a serious question to let them use City property involved with property they are going to buy, because a Council would be in a poor condition later to say it needed the City property, if this group had bought property of their own relying on the use of City property. It would be giving them the property if they were permitted to use it in that manner. The Mayor stated it was apparent this could not be worked out this summer, and he suggested that various points be discussed with Mr. Hull. Councilman Long stated there was no precedent at all in letting groups outside of the City limits use City property. Councilman LaRue suggested that the City Manager might have the Director of Recreation contact Mr. Hull and get the answers, including a decision on the high voltage line, the water and lights, the cutting of the oak trees, and a layout of their ball diamond. The City Manager reported MR. RICHARD BAKER called asking that the Council give early consideration to their request to operate excursion boats on Town Lake. The City Manager announced Ohlen Road was open to traffic across the railroad track. Councilman LaRue reported 19th Street was opened through now. Councilman Long stated Duval was blocked due to construction. It was stated two lanes would be kept open during the rush hours and one lane during the quiet part of the day. Regarding the dismantling of the tower light when 19th Street was widened, Mayor Palmer said the Council publicly announced it would look at the possibility from a safety standpoint, of erecting it elsewhere. The Assistant City Manager reported Electric Distribution Division dismantled the tower light on 19th; and it was found the slip joints had rusted and could not be removed, resulting in the towers having to be cut in four parts. Over all it was in poor structural condition, and two of the main supporting members did bend. It is the recommendation of the Electric Department that the spare parts that are available be used to extend the life of the other towers and that this tower not be re-erected due to its poor structural condition. The Electric Department estimated it would cost $5,000 to replace the tower. The Assistant City Manager stated with the widening of 19th Street, there will be a mercury vapour lighting system down 19th and north on Guadalupe. This system will provide better lighting than that provided by the tower. Councilman Shanks expressed concern over the condition of the other towers. The City Manager stated periodic inspections are made to be sure they are structurally sound. Councilman Long offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, Title VII of the Housing Act of 1961 provides for the making of grants by the Housing and Home Finance Administrator to States and local public CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 13, 1965 bodies to assist them in the acquisition of permanent interests in land for openspace purposes where such acquisition is deemed to be essential to the proper long-range development and welfare of the urban areas in accordance with the plans for the allocation of land for such purposes; and, WHEREAS, the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, desires to acquire fee simple title to a part of that certain land known as the American Legion Tract of Travis Post No. 76, and being 3.59 acres of land out of the George W.
