It was pointed out this date was on Sunday, and the late hour would pose no heavy traffic period; also the location of the parade is such that it would create no traffic problem. The City Manager recommended the permit. in MR. JOHN LANE, Youth International Party, spoke and presented the Spectre of Death. Councilman Price moved that the Council grant the parade permit in the vicinity in East Austin which the City Manager had recommended. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: Councilman Atkison HEARING - OPENING SILVERWAY DRIVE TO THROUGH TRAFFIC : MR. TERRY BRAY stated this hearing was rescheduled on March 5, when his clients discussed their final plat which showed Silverway to be a through street. The City Manager was to investigate this problem to see if a solution could be made that would satisfy all parties. Today they came back with a solution. They were contractually obligated with respect to Foothill Drive, and had concern about how Silverway Drive was to be used, as their development included opening Silverway Drive. The Bank officials will not require that Silver- way Drive be in the plan, and his clients are willing to commit that Silverway Drive will not be opened. He showed a revised plat, which they proposed to present to the Planning Commission, and which plat excluded Silverway Drive with no connection in their replatting. MR. FRANK ROCCO, Lucy Read PTA, stated in light of Mr. Bray's statement, if these committments were reflected in the Minutes, he believed the problem had been resolved satisfactorily as far as they were concerned, provided any new roads that might be proposed do not infringe on Silverway Drive. MRS. SANDERS discussed pedestrian and bicycle traffic on Richcreek. She and others, since streets dead end into Silverway Drive, feel that this Drive CCC April 16, 1970 422 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS should be opened and take the traffic off of Richcreek, which is hazardous to the children. Mayor LaRue stated the Council should not take any action on this revision until the Staff had an opportunity to look at it. HEARING ON ANNEXATION It being 10:00 A.M., Mayor LaRue opened the hearing scheduled for this time on 25.27 acres of land out of the T. J. Chambers Grant. No one appeared to be heard.

Chambers Grant - proposed VISTA WEST 1. (Requested by owner's representative) The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None HEARING SCHEDULED AT 10:00 A.M. DELETED The Continued hearing on the annexation of 40,38 acres out of the Henry P. Hill League was taken off the Agenda, as it was included by mistake. PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM SET UP IN THE HALL Mayor LaRue pursued a question raised earlier to have a public address system set up for those individuals who will be outside the Council Chamber. The Council then recessed until 2:00 P.Μ. At 2:00 P.M., the Council resumed its business. 2:00 P.M. HEARING ON METHODS OF REGULATING DEVELOPMENT ALONG CREEKS AND STREAMS MAYOR LARUE opened the 2:00 P.M. hearing on schedule, and laid out the rules to be followed. The City Manager announced there were three ordinances for consideration and hearing. The Assistant City Attorney, MR. DAN WOMMACK, presented the three ordinances explaining each one. The first ordinance amends the Zoning Code, adding another designation "FP" Flood Plain District. is the most restrictive zoning district, limited generally to open space. The flood plain would be the designated 100-year flood plain area, to be designated by the Corps of Engineers, or by an official study, or by the Director of Public Works. - This ! _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 16, 1970 423 The next ordinance amends the Subdivision Ordinance, which would require the 100-year flood plains to be shown on the subdivision plat, designated by an official study or by the Director of Public Works, and a notation on the plat that there would be no structure within the flood plain, nor shall the flood plain be altered in any way by excavating or filling without first obtaining a permit from the City Manager. The last ordinance, which is already on the books, provided that any structure to be erected within the floodway of a creek must be done under a permit from the City Manager. As to pollution problems, the Legal Staff is of the opinion the present ordinances on pollution are sufficient. The City Manager stated the purpose of these three ordinances is to (1) Protect present creeks within the City from material changes in those creeks without official permit; (2) To prohibit the building of structures within the flood plain areas of the same waterways or creeks that are inside the City limits. Should the Council in effect annex the 100-year flood plains outside the City limits by definitive locations, these same ordinances would apply in those areas. The hearing was opened to those interested ones in the audience. MR. GIBSON RANDLE, representing land owners as well as himself as an owner on Barton Creek, stated the ordinances affected far more than Barton Creek, including the largest flood plain, along the Colorado River, and along which a sizeable segment of the community has an interest. He noted the necessity of expansion of the Public Works Department to assume responsibility of defining flood plains of the River, all creeks in the area, every little branch, drainway and watercourse. Any improvement on those must have a permit from the City. He discussed various provisions of the ordinance and asked that the Council give this matter a comprehensive long-range study. MR. JEFF GRAND, representing Austin students, at St. Stephen's School, projected pictures of Barton Creek above the swimming pool, showing areas of beauty, and those where the bulldozer had been. He favored investing in extending Zilker Park on up Barton Creek. MR. PHILIP CREER, member of the Texas Society of Architects, read a resolution pledging their support for and urging all agencies, especially State agencies to enact and enforce such program development of a fiscal environment of the City of Austin to best promote the aesthetic beauty. MRS. GRADY STARNES, representing all the garden clubs in the Austin Area Council, was in support of Mr. Russel Fish's proposal. MR. ALEXANDER MOURELATOS read a statement signed by 600 residents of Austin, applauding and supporting the initiatives presented by the City Manager, Mr. Andrews, on March 19th, for protection of the creeks and streams of the Austin area; also urged speedy and firm implementation of the City Manager's proposals, pointing out the great assets of the creeks and waterways so near the central downtown area. He asked that the City undertake to purchase land along Barton Creek for the creation of an integral BARTON CREEK PARK, extending from Zilker Park to Highway 71; and that the City develop and implement zoning areas from the edge of the proposed park to the limits of the watershed on either side as "Suburban Residential" or some new lower density zoning. Mr. Mourelatos, noting there was an element of cost involved, stated these signees might indicate an evidence that a large number of the people in Austin are willing to assume a measure of financial responsibility to have Barton Creek Park and full protection of the creeks and streams all around in the Austin area. MRS. SOPHIA TAPLEY reported a study performed on Barton Creek, the entirety of each parcel of land fronting Barton Creek, from existing Zilker Park to Bee Cave, showed a cost of د (د C _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 16, 1970 $4,998,000 or $17.78 per person in Travis County. Over a five year period, that would be less than $4.00 per year, based on present tax values. About 3,506.4 acres would be involved. She listed prices per acre for several different parcels of land. MR. RUSSEL FISH, President of and representing the Envoronmental Council, stated they wupported the proposed amendments just presented and suggested a few amendments. The Environmental Council urged the City Council to further annex the 100-year flood plain of Barton Creek, to adopt a Barton Creek Development Plan, and to prepare development plans for watersheds on the remaining creeks of the City on a long range basis and encourage Regional Planning Commissions to prepare these kinds of plans throughout the region. The Austin Environmental Council feels that the Council should direct its staff to study and report to the Council, methods to implement the Barton Creek Development Plan, using such tools as flood plain management ordinances, slope and soil hazard mapping, regulation through the Building Code, Subdivision Regulations, incentive zoning, transferable density, conservation and public use easements, dedication of and purchase of land, and use of Federal Grants in aid for park and open space acquisition and development. These programs listed are long range solutions to urban pollution by protecting the creeks and streams. MR. HOWARD LOCKE, Texas Landscape Association, stated support of what the City had underway this morning, and that they were interested in the beauty of these creeks being saved for Austin. He stated he would submit a volunteer program within his group after clearing up constitutional items and procedures of the Association. MR. JAMES CROZIER, representing the Savings Institutions Clearing House, expressed interest in green belts, flood and pollution controls. The Clearing House also is in sympathy with and strongly respects the property rights of the individual, whose rights might be seriously hampered or even confiscated. The citizens of Austin and those in the surrounding areas should be informed of the significance of these amendments. He urged the Council not to take hasty steps in passing these ordinances without ascertaining the costs to individuals. The Clearing House was not in accord with the amendment to Chapter 29, which takes away the privilege of having the matter in said amendment determined by the City Council, and instead being determined by an administrative official. MR. TOM BRADFIELD, Land Planning and Development Division of the Austin Homebuilder's Association, expressed concern in the proposed flood plain ordinance. MR. DAVID BARROW stated he had written into the Master Plan a recommenda- tion to the Council and the County that they acquire the streams in the area for the particular purpose of doing some of the things mentioned today. His recommendation was that the City engage in a campaign to purchase the land so it could control and protect its beauty. MR. McFALL, President of the Austin Association of Homebuilders, read a statement urging the Council to request the Planning Commission to make a thorough study of the Flood Plain Ordinance. MRS. KARL SCHMITT, President of the League of Women Voters, read a statement applauding the City Manager for his recommendations on the waterways and creeks. The League urges the Council to take a vigorous role in the Austin-Travis County Regional Planning Commission and to seek out ways or working with counties and other communities on common environmental problems, and to go beyond and enter into long-range planning for the future. MRS. EMMA KELLY, Western Trails Garden Club of South Austin; MR. ED STALKER, Austin Heritage Society, MR. EDWARD A KUTACH, Travis Audubon Society, and MRS. DAVID M. MCCANDLESS, enthusiastically supported the City Manager's plans and Ordinances. April 16, 1970 425 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MR. DAN WILLARD, Sierra Club, expressed interest in the ordinances, stating the property owners would not be penalized, but would be benefited by the preservation of the spiritual and financial values of Barton Creek under these ordinances. MR. PETER TOWNSEND, Geologist, discussed the ground water flow in the Barton Creek Area and on into Barton Pool, pointing out the necessity of keeping the entire water shed free from pollution in respect to septic tank systems. MRS. GROVER CUNNINGHAM, Pollution Control Division of Austin Federation of Women's Clubs, endorsed the plan presented by the Environmental Council and applauded the action taken by the City Manager. COUNCILMAN JANES stated the people should not go away without realizing that if there is to be a Green Belt on the Barton Creek, it is necessary to find money some place with which to acquire the land -- either by public subscription or through some kind of a bond issue. COUNCILMAN MacCORKLE noted Mr. and Mrs. Pete Smith and sister were giving to the City an area to be used as a park, and stated occasionally it would be helpful if people would make gifts to the City, whereby they, their families, and their name would live long afterward. He expressed his interest in Barton Creek, and stated he certainly did not want to postpone any action, but wanted to know all the facts and be sure he was doing what was best for all-being fair to everyone. COUNCILMAN JOHNSON noted the Council's responsibility to all citizens, and explained the Council could not go out and confiscate a man's property. For many years there have been cries to plan and plan. His idea of a plan was it should also include some methodology to complete and finance the Plan. At this time, everyone agrees that something must be done in this area, and it is now time to begin work on how it is to be done. MR. PHIL STERZING, stated the Sierra Club had recommendations on acquiring, annexing, and zoning land. As to raising money necessary to acquire the Green Belt, he suggested a special bond issue for open spaces to give the people a chance to vote on whether or not they were willing to spend the additional money to acquire additional park land and conserve creeks. MRS. McCANDLESS stated citizens who are public spirited, who own lands adjoining these streams could only be relieved at having them put into public domain so that they are permanently protected for generations yet unborn. MR. RICHY read from a statement, "Upper Barton Creek should be expected to meet its costs of maintenance and make some contribution to its land cost amortization through a variety of use charges. More and more people have come to realize that rising population puts pressure on land, and rising income and leisure have made park and wilderness not a lagniappe of citizenship, but a costly necessity of civilized life. If a choice lies between ecological degradation and a worthwhile public facility with a price tag attached, the second alternative is more appealing and will become increasingly realistic as time goes on". RESTROOM FACILITIES AT CITY PARK Councilman Gage recalled plans and an appropriation approved for restroom facilities on Lake Austin, and inquired about the status. The City Manager said he would make a progress report. ว C C 426 - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 16, 1970 BOATS ON DECKER LAKE Councilman Gage inquired about Boats for Decker Lake, stating bids had been rejected several months ago, and asked if this matter was being brought back to the Council. The City Manager stated boats were going to be transferred around, and the situation would be taken care of. REPORT ON VEHICLES FOR HIRE The City Manager gave his report on the need to update the ordinance governing the operation of vehicles for hire, stating an administrative hearing with all companies involved was scheduled this coming week and he would report back. The Council wanted the ordinance on the Agenda for April 30th. CORRECTION TO MINUTES Councilman Johnson noted a correction to be made in the Minutes of March 30, 1970, showing him present instead of absent. LETTER FROM AUDITORS Councilman Janes noted receipt of the Management letter from the Auditors. The Council wanted this item placed on the Agenda for April 23, 1970.
