CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 11, 1970 ONE-DAY USE OF MOTOR BOAT ON TOWN LAKE Councilman Gage moved the Council grant permission to Commco Construction Division to use a motor boat on Town Lake on June 16, 1970, in connection with replacing TV cable. The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following vote: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Ayes: Noes: None 635 RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION Mr. Hub Bechtol, representing Mr. R. E. Leigh, before making his presentation, stated that the Joint Health Study Committee was ready to make its report whenever the Council was ready to receive it. The item would be placed on the Agenda for June 18, 1970. Mr. Bechtol stated that on January 15, 1970, Mr. Leigh had received a letter from the City of Austin offering him $5,812.00 for right-of-way needed by the City at the southwest corner of Riverside Drive and South Congress. Mr. Leigh had countered with an appraisal by Mr. Bechtol of $9,798.60. The City then obtained two appraisals: one of $1,600.00 and $2,200.00. The average-of-appraisals offer by the City then was $1,900.00, which figured out to be $1.30 per square foot. The City had taken adjacent property owned by Mr. M. K. Hage and paid $3.00 per square foot for that property. The City had withdrawn its original offer of $5,800.00, and Mr. Leigh now was faced with accepting the $1,900.00 offer or going to condemnation proceedings. After lengthy discussion among the Council, Mr. Bechtol, Mr. Joe Morahan, the City Attorney and the City Manager, Councilman MacCorkle offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the offer of the owners and claimants of the hereinafter described tract of land to convey unencumbered fee simple title thereto to the City of Austin in consideration of the cash payment of $5,812.00 therefor be accepted, and that the City Manager or his designate be and he is hereby authorized to consummate purchase of the following described tract of land, to-wit: SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT "A" (See original Resolution for Exhibit "A") CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 11, 1970 The motion, seconded by Councilman Price, carried by the following vote: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Ayes: Noes: None MO-PAC PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION Mr. James T. Peal, Vice Chairman, Parks and Recreation Board, did not appear before the Council, since the item of discussion had been settled between the Parks and Recreation Board and the Texas Highway Department.

HILL LEAGUE IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS; WHICH SAID ADDITIONAL TERRITORY LIES ADJACENT TO AND ADJOINS THE PRESENT BOUNDARY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, IN PARTICULARS STATED IN THE ORDINANCE. Mr. Tom Bradfield, representing the owners of the property, spoke in favor of annexation. He asked that annexation not be delayed again, as it had been in the past on two other occasions. After a brief discussion among the Council, Councilman Price moved the Council annex the subject property and buy the property lying 100 feet along each side of Barton Creek. The motion died for lack of a second. Father Joe Znotas, representing the Human Opportunities Corporation, read and presented a resolution to the Council asking that the City of Austin take all necessary action to preserve the flood plain area of Barton Springs. June 11, 1970 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mr. Russell Fish, representing the Austin Environmental Council, spoke in opposition to the annexation. He was concerned about an overall development plan for the Barton Creek area, rather than a piecemeal approach. Mrs. Fagan Dixon supported the City Manager's recommendation that the land be annexed, but that the Planning Commission hold it in abeyance for further decision as to its subdivision usage. She asked that the City follow the Master Plan for the development of the Barton Creek area. Mr. Larry Smith presented a copy of the Texas Water Plan prepared by the Texas Water Development Board. He called the Council's attention to a section in the Plan which dealt with the Federal Flood Plain Program whereby the City might acquire Federal funds to develop a one-hundred-year flood plain for the Barton Creek area. Simultaneously, Mr. Smith presented a petition, signed by 350 people, which read: "We, the undersigned, endorse this petition for the City of Austin, Texas, to purchase Barton Creek property for the purpose of enlarging Zilker Park and protecting Barton Springs for the enjoyment of future generations." After further discussion among the Council, the ordinance was read the third time, and Councilman Gage moved that the ordinance be finally passed. The motion, seconded by Councilman Janes, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: Councilman MacCorkle The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. Councilman Gage further moved that Item B la. (annexation of 40.38 acres out of the Henry P. Hill League) be brought back to the Council for final approval of the subdivision plans and plats. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None The City Manager pointed out that the Council could only request that the Planning Commission refer the subdivision plat plans to the Council for its recommendations and that the Planning Commission was the final authority. Mrs. Dixon pointed out that she understood the City Manager, Mr. Andrews, to say that he recommended that the Council annex the land and recommend to the Planning Commission that they withhold plans for subdivision. 68 June 11, 1970 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- Mayor LaRue brought up the following ordinance for its third reading: AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE EXTENSION OF CERTAIN BOUNDARY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND THE ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TERRITORY CONSISTING OF 21.986 ACRES OF LAND, SAME BEING OUT OF AND A PART OF THE T.

TEXAS June 11, 1970 Mayor LaRue brought up the following ordinance for its third reading: AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE EXTENSION OF CERTAIN BOUNDARY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND THE ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TERRITORY CONSISTING OF 13.04 ACRES OF LAND, SAME BEING OUT OF AND A PART OF THE WILLIAM BARTON LABOR, IN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS, WHICH SAID ADDITIONAL TERRITORY LIES ADJACENT TO AND ADJOINS THE PRESENT BOUNDARY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, IN PARTICULARS STATED IN THE ORDINANCE. Mr. Phil Mockford, representing Mr. Jack Andrewartha, owner of the property, spoke in favor of annexation. He stated that he did not think that the flood plain ordinance, as proposed, would prohibit development in the area and that the property was a classic example of the hole-in-the-doughnut and should be annexed for that reason. Father Joseph Znotas, speaking for the Human Opportunities Corporation, opposed annexation of the property primarily because of the City's switch in its approach to the park. He felt that the action would be unjust to poor Blacks and Mexican-Americans who use the park extensively on the weekends. Mr. Russell Fish, representing the Austin Environmental Council, asked that the annexation be delayed until August so that the various interested parties could sit down and work out a development plan for the Barton Creek area. Mr. Woodrow Sledge asked that once the property is annexed and a subdivision is brought in that conforms with the subdivision ordinance and is not in violation of any other ordinance, is the City not obligated to accept the subdivision or face a court order? The City Attorney responded that basically Mr. Sledge was correct. Mrs. Fagan Dixon felt that a flood plain ordinance should be brought in by August 7th, the 90-day period within which the annexation ordinance could be passed on third reading, and that the ordinance would be applicable to the Barton Creek area as well as the rest of the City. She felt that the Council had been dragging its feet with regard to enactment of the flood plain ordinance. After an extensive discussion among the Council and other interested parties present, Councilman Gage moved the Council extend the hearing until June 25, 1970. The motion was seconded by Councilman MacCorkle. Substitute Motion Councilman Janes offered a substitute motion that the ordinance be finally passed. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Atkison, Janes, Johnson, Price, Mayor LaRue Councilmen Gage, MacCorkle The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed.

The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None At the recommendation of the City Manager, Councilman Gage moved the Council request that the Planning Commission hold the final approval of the subdivision plat until the Council has had an opportunity to review it on the Andrewartha property.
