Tract 3 719-807 Woodward St. From Interim "A" Residence 1st Height and Area Το "DL" Light Industrial 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Mr. John B. Selman, representing the applicant, explained the zoning Mr. John McKay, representing Mr. Cecil Hale of Southwest Chemical Company, who owned a strip of land about 230' in width and 1500' deep next to the tracts in question, stated that his client did not want to dedicate land to build the road that appeared in the Willow Springs, Inc. plan and had been requested by the Planning Commission. Councilman LaRue did not think that the applicants should be required to dedicate a street through their own property just to service that industrial zone. Mr. Lillie stated that if the property remained in the hands of one owner, the road was not necessary. Councilman Long moved that the Council grant the change from Interim "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area to "BB" Residence, 1st Height and Area for Tract 1, from Interim "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area to "LR" Local Retail 1st Height and Area for Tract 2 and from Interim "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area to "DL" Light Industrial, 1st Height and Area, with a letter of commitment stating that no street will be built in the "DL" Light Industrial area.

WEST C14-68-169 Tract 1 701-731 Eberhart Lane 6400-6418 So. First St. Tract 2 6420-6516 So. First St. From Interim "A" Residence 1st Height and Area To "LR" Local Retail 1st Height and Area NOT RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDED "BB" Residence on a portion From Interim "A" Residence 1st Height and Area To "BB" Residence 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission The applicants stated that they were applying for "LR" Local Retail zoning in order to put the potential property buyers in adjacent areas on notice that they would be purchasing land near a commercial development. They felt that the convenience center planned for the site would be an asset to the neighborhood rather than a nuisance. There was a ditch separating part of the site from the residential area on the west. Councilman Long moved the Council grant the request of the applicant, "LR" Local Retail in Tract 1 and "BB" Residence in Tract 2. The motion, seconded by Councilman Nichols, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Janes, LaRue, Long, Nichols, Mayor Akin Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "LR" Local Retail in Tract 1 and "BB" Residence in Tract 2 and instructed the City Attorney to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. RALPH E. HAYS & R.D. SEIDERS By Tom Smith C14-68-166 Tract 1 6202-6212 Manchaca Rd. Tract 2 6218-6316 Manchaca Road From Interim "A" Residence 1st Height and Area To "GR" General Retail 1st Height and Area NOT RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission September 5, 1968 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mr. Tom Smith, representing the officers of Kash-Karry Stores, the applicants, stated that the Planning Commission had recommended that commercial activities such as the grocery stores be constructed at major intersections and not in between major intersections. He had been told that this recommendation was in line with a new City policy. He argues that that policy would cause local retailers to open new stores only in large shopping centers, which would grow at the major intersections. He said that Berkeley Drive, one street adjacent to the tracts, was incorrectly zoned "A" Residence because he did not think anyone would want to build a residence on a major thoroughfare. He thought those streets were for General Retail stores. He felt that Manchaca Road was developing not into a residential street, but into a major arterial street into Austin and Manchaca. Councilman Long was opposed to the new policy of putting commercial zoning only on the corners. She thought that it limited new business ventures to large-scale operations and restricted the opening of small businesses. Mayor Akin also thought that it was confining and restrictive to force businesses to conform to the community center-type arrangement that would come about if all commercial ventures were limited to the corners of major thoroughfares. Councilman Nichols agreed with Councilman Long and Mayor Akin. Councilman LaRue did not want to create another situation like the one existing on Burnet Road; therefore, he stated that he would not vote for the zoning change. He had not been aware that the Council would be discussing the new policy and therefore he wanted more time for study, and for looking at the tracts. Mr. Dick Lillie, Assistant Director of the Planning Department, explained the proposed zoning policy and its applications. He stated that the policy was not intended to eliminate strip development of commercial property in new subdivisions but to review commercial zoning applications with a view to encouraging the development of existing and future sound residential areas, and to discourage strip development along major arterial highways and expressways. He stated that the Planning Commission had not adopted or considered in its regular meeting the adoption of the policy on subdivisions and zoning or the development guideline on the location of commercial zoning. The policy had been used in the recommendations from the Planning Commission as a suggestion only. Mr. Smith stated that he would dedicate any rightof way required. No one appeared in opposition to the zoning change. Mr. Hoyle Osborne, Director of Planning, also stated the intentions of the Planning Commission in mentioning the proposed policy in this zoning application recommendation. Councilman Long pointed out to him that 8 years ago the Council had been opposed to the suggested guidelines. She said that it would be difficult for the Council to work in harmony with the Planning Commission if it continued to recommend policy that was opposed by a majority of the Council. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 5, 1968 Mayor Akin stated that he was willing to think along with the Planning Commission on all matters and he did not want to be put in the position of prejudging them. Therefore, he was in favor of going to look at the property and studying the application further. The Council agreed to postpone the hearing for one week. SAM F. MEYERS By John B. Selman C14-68-174 2504-2408 Marlton Drive 1013-1015 Norwalk Lane From "A" Residence To "BB" Residence NOT RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Mr. John B. Selman, representing the applicant, stated that the owner was requesting one four-unit building; he was willing to dedicate right of way on both streets; and he was willing to enter into a restrictive covenant with the City to insure that no more than four units would be built on that lot. The lot was too small for two duplexes which would be more in character with the rest of the neighborhood. Mr. Ray D. Truitt, 2317 West 8th Street, appeared in opposition to the zoning application. Mr. Lillie and Councilman LaRue felt that the neighborhood should remain "A" residential because that was the character of the area. Councilman Janes thought that the change would be spot-zoning. Councilman Long wanted to go and see the area. Mayor Akin announced that a Mr. Dooley had called to say that he was opposed to the zoning change. The Council decided to postpone the hearing for one week to allow time to go and see the property. EXECUTIVE SESSION The Council then went into Executive Session to discuss the purchase of some property.
