CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting December 23, 1965 10:00 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall The meeting was called to order with Mayor Pro tem Shanks presiding. Roll call: Present: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Pro tem Shanks Absent: Mayor Palmer 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 REVEREND ARTHUR RODE, Faith Lutheran Church. Mayor Palmer was absent due to illness in his family. MR. DARBY ORGAIN said the Men's Garden Club was in favor of the proposal of "Little Texas" and hopes it will equal or be better than Texas Under Six Flags or Disneyland, but the Club objects to the proposed location for "Little Texas". No park to which he had been has the nucleus that Austin's fine Garden Center has, and he expressed appreciation for the help the City had given them in building this Center. For the Garden the Jewish people appropriated funds to build an ever flowing fountain in the shape of the Star of David. This will be one of the most outstanding botanical gardens in the United States. There also will be a place set aside for Meditation. These developments are not in keeping with a blaring carnival just down the hill. The Garden Clubs are for "Little Texas", but suggested they buy their own property and develop it as did Disneyland and Texas Under Six Flags. He asked the Council to give further consideration to this proposal and that this private venture will not be allowed to be placed next to one of the outstanding projects in the United States, the Garden Club's Botanical Center. Mayor Pro tem Shanks stated the request for a site is just being considered, and the Council appreciated his comments as it wants to know what all of the citizens wish.

Jordan Dick T. Jordan, Building Official" The motion, seconded by Councilman Long, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, White, Mayor Pro tem Shanks None Absent: Mayor Palmer The Council had under consideration a request of STERLING HOLLOWAY, et al, for a boat dock on Tracts 12, 13, 14 and 15 lying upstream from the westerly extension of the south line of Windsor Road. The Building Official called attention that these tracts were 10' wide and belonged to various property owners. Several neighbors object to this plan submitted, and he recom- mended that this request be held for further study until the property owners would get together and decide where the property lines, etc. are. There is a problem between property owners as to who owns the property. The City Attorney explained three people had made an agreement each having an undivided interest in these tracts, but there are a number of property owners that do not agree. He had not seen the executed instrument, and his approval would be based upon the executed recorded instrument. Mr. Coleman wanted a recommendation from the Council that the instrument is correct; and if the property did belong to them, that they could build a dock. The argument is not with the Council but between the property owners. Sterling Holloway, Ralph Moore and he had title to the property. If the City Attorney approves the instrument, they could go ahead with the dock, and it would be up to the other property owners if they feel they own the property to obtain a temporary injunction. Mr. Smartt, Attorney, was representing Mr. Mac Hull; and Mr. Malcolm Robinson was representing Mr. Forrester. The City Attorney stated his investigation was unrelated to the title examination and his con- cern was if the instrument he saw would effectively create an undivided interest in the tracts. Mr. Smartt, representing Mr. Hull, stated the property had been subdivided and a plat put on record. These gentlemen are asking to put a boat dock right in front of Mr. Hull's home which has been there for 25 years. He asked if a dock is permitted in that area, to whom will the permission be granted. Mr. Smartt stated if a permit were granted it would force them into Court and there is a suit pending now involving the same matter. Mr. Mac Hull stated he purchased this property 25 years ago. Adjacent to his land is an easement to give those who purchased land upon the hill permission to cross to reach the lake. Their deeds designate a 10' waterfront along the wall one foot deep, and this was left open for these people to tie their boats up. That was in his deed, and he had a release from Mr. Shelton of all of the property which he had under fence for over 20 years. The release stated if the Court allows these two 10' pieces of property in front of his house to be used, these men would December 23, 1965 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS : have only the right to tie a boat to the wall--not to build a dock. His property line extended to the edge of the water, or to the center of the creek. People living on the hill are privileged to come up and down that inlet. If this dock is permitted it will extend out 37' into the water. The inlet is 110' wide. That dock will obstruct a lot of boating. If they do have apace along the wall, he suggested they build the dock longways and not project it out into the cove. After discussion, the City Attorney stated the instrument furnished to him to determine whether or not it would comply with the City ordinance, also was based upon the premises that the owners of the 10' strip also owned the adjoining property and not that they were in front of some other property. It was called to his attention that this application for a dock not only is not 10' away from a side lot line, but is encroaching upon another claimed property. He had no interest in the claim. As far as the ordinance is concerned, he stated he believed the issuance of the permit would be improper under the state of the survey provided by Mr. Coleman. He said he did not believe this request complied with the ordinance. Mayor Pro tem Shanks stated this was a matter for the Courts to decide as to the ownership of the land, then the Council could issue a permit. Mr. Holloway acknowledged that Mr. Eskew might be right, preferring this be resolved by the Courts first. He suggested that the permit be granted, and the Court would then have something to determine as to whether or not they owned the property. Mr. Holloway discussed at length the deeds, releases, and transactions. After more discussion, Councilman White moved that this permit be delayed until after the Courts decided who owns the property. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilman LaRue said this was not a matter for the Council to determine. Everytime anyone asked for a permit in this area the same thing would occur. The Council is asked to decide if this permit is within the confines of the ordinance. The City Attorney stated it would appear by the survey provided the Council, to be questionable as to whether it would comply with the ordinance or not. Councilman Long moved that the permit be issued contingent upon the proof of ownership of the property when the Court decides it plus compliance with the ordinance. The motion lost for lack of a second. Councilman LaRue moved that this permit be granted subject to compliance with the ordinance and that the permit be granted to the owners of the property. The motion was seconded by Councilman Long. Roll call showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long Noes: Councilman White, Mayor Pro tem Shanks Absent: Mayor Palmer The motion lost by a tie vote. Mayor Pro tem Shanks suggested a motion that the Council favorably consider issuing a permit for a boat dock in this area when and if the Council has conclusive proof as to whom the rightful owners are. Councilman LaRue moved that the permit be granted so long as there is compliance with the ordinance and that the permit be granted to the rightful owners of the property. The motion was seconded by Councilman Long. Roll _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS December 23, 1965 call showed the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen LaRue, Long Councilman White, Mayor Pro tem Shanks Absent: Mayor Palmer The motion lost by a tie vote. Councilman LaRue moved that MR. ELMER NOGLIN be heard. The motion was seconded by Councilman Long. Roll call showed a unanimous vote. Mr. Noglin asked if the Council ever issued a permit before without knowing whom the owners are. Mayor Pro tem Shanks stated he did not think a permit was ever issued without the Council's being under the impression they were issuing it to the rightful owner; or where ownership was contested, he did not recall any permits being granted while he was on the Council. Councilman Long moved that the Council favorably consider issuing a permit for a boat dock in this area when and if the Council has conclusive proof as to whom the rightful owners are. The motion, seconded by Councilman LaRue, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Mayor Pro tem Shanks Noes: Councilman White Absent: Mayor Palmer Councilman LaRue offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: THAT the City Council of the City of Austin hereby approves the erection of a boat dock on the property owned by Mr. J.
