Austin Debates Development, Boosts Public Health

Thursday, September 21, 1972 regular

Here's a look at key decisions from the September 21, 1972 Austin City Council meeting:

  • Controversial Development Denied:

    The Council rejected a major retail/office rezoning proposal at Stassney Lane and Westgate, siding with neighborhood residents who cited concerns about "spot zoning," misrepresentation, and loss of privacy, overriding staff and planning commission recommendations.
  • Public Health Initiative:

    Austin moved to establish a new Dental Services Project, authorizing an application for over $68,000 in federal funds from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
  • Infrastructure & Fiscal Prudence:

    Several bids for storm sewer projects were rejected due to costs significantly exceeding engineer's estimates. Concurrently, numerous contracts were awarded for critical city infrastructure, including roads, bridges, water/wastewater mains, and tennis court surfacing.
  • Traffic Management & Community Life:

    The temporary one-way street plan in the University area was re-approved for its third year, and permits were granted for local events such as an Arabian Horse Exhibition and a high school parade.

Relative to the contract with Malott & Peterson-Gryndy in El Paso, Texas, Mayor Pro Tme Love questioned why this contract was recommended to be awarded to an El Paso firm, rather than an Austin firm. Mr. Eldridge, Director of Construction Engineering, explained that these people had a new process which gave a surface that was more permanent, that this was the best to be obtained, and that the Austin firm did not bid on this contract.

Mr. Davidson explained that there were several factors in the estimate, that this bridge covered a deep ravine, and although a culvert would be cheaper it would cause more damage to the area, and therefore supports would be used instead. He explained that the Department was meeting with some of the people that are building these streets and public works projects in an effort to improve its experience in the future.

Capital Improvements Project No. 3914 0). - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 21, 1972 936 RENTAL RATES - TOWN LAKE DEVELOPMENT City Manager Davidson reported that recently the City had contracted for construction work along Town Lake, but had to cancel that contract. Since there was $40,000 or $50,000 worth of work to be completed, City crews were assigned to finish the job, and it is necessary that assignment be made on rental rates for the equipment used in completing the project. The City then would apply for a portion of this cost. This amount of Federal funding would be the same kind as if the contract were still in force. Councilman Nichols moved the Council authorizė by resolution the rental rates for equipment for force account for Phase I on Town Lake Development. The motion, seconded by Councilman Lebermann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro Tem Love, Councilmen Lebermann, Handcox Noes: Mayor Butler, Councilman Friedman ZONING HEARINGS The Council publicly heard and denied the following zoning: AUSTEX DEVELOPMENT CO. LTD. By W. T. Williams, Jr. C14-72-080 at the intersection of Stassney Lane and Cherry Creek Dr. with Westgate From Interim "A" Res- idence First Height and Area to "GR" General Retail First Height and Area NOT recommended RECOMMENDED "0" Office for Tracts A & B; "LR" Local Retail for Tract C and portion of Tract D, subject to restric- tive covenant, approval of site plan and 6' privacy fence where abutting "A" (Petition filedd) Mr. Tom Curtis, Attorney, represented the applicant, and pointed out the area on a map showing Stassney Lane and Westgate. He pointed out the tracts A, B, C, and D which had received final approval except Tract D. All of these tracts had been brought in section by section except the 13 acres under consideration. The applicants had not objections to the recommendation of the Planning Commission that "LR" be granted on Tracts C and D; and "0" Office on Tracts A and B. He listed a number of requirements made by the Commission which included a site plan on Tracts A, B, and C to be approved by the Commission. Density would be no greater than 20 units; fence, etc. They were agreeable to the Planning Commission recommendation; but the opponents had requested some changes which would make unusuable part of the land. The applicants are limited to one story in height on Tracts A, B, and C. The Director of Planning concurred in the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Mr. Curtis stated what had been proposed affords considerable protection to the neighborhood, and is in line with zoning that would be anticipated along this kind of major street intersection. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 21, 1972 937 Mr. Joe Garrison represented a group in opposition, stating there would be only three spokesmen. Mr. Jim Aldridge, Planning Consultant, stated he purchased his property after a review of planned community, buffer zones, etc., but he and the group allege there was a misrepresentation, accidental or willful, that would damage their area. He listed the businesses at Manchaca and Stassney Lane, and Ja development of 40 apartment units under way northwest of Jones Road and Westgate, and some "O" Development. This concentration of apartments would be in the heart of their neighborhood. Mr. Aldridge discussed new commercial development on which they had no notice. It was pointed out this work being done was the result of planning a long time ahead and did not occur after this application. Mr. Aldridge discussed new commercial development on which they had no notice. It was pointed out this work being done was the result of planning a long time ahead and did not occur after this application. Mr. Aldridge discussed the longrange planning, intermediate planning, up to operational planning. He con- cluded that they have a community which was told to each family that it would b residential; and they would like to propose now an alternate plan that "GR", "O", or "LR" be moved four blocks south and that everyone, as they buy, be made aware of what is anticipated. -- Mrs. Sam R. Jones opposed the zoning as they would not have any privacy in their back yard; they were under the impression that only duplexes were to be built; and they had purchased in an expensive residential neighborhood and did not want apartments or businesses in the center. Mr. Joe Garrison's opposition was based on the spot zoning, misrepresentation and the lack of notice to buyers. He stressed that some additional protection should be given to people who are making their major investment. The brochures of this area had no indication that Westgate would be a major thoroughfare. Mr. Garrison asked that theCouncil require that notice be given to property owners buying especially in raw land areas, and require some efforts to inform the people whether by sign boards or by brochure incorporated in the entire plat, as to the intent. He asked the Council to deny the request and leave the area "A" Residential. Mr. Curtis stated the Commission recommendation was a long from what the applicant sought, and the Commission built in considerable controls for the benefit of the residents. Councilman Lebermann inquired about the recommendation of the Planning Staff and that of the Planning Commission. Mr. Dick Lillie stated the Staff recommendation at this time is the same as that of the Planning Commission - "LR" on Tracts C & D; and "O" on Tracts A and B with the covenant restrictions as to the fencing site planning one story heights on Tract D. After discussion, Councilman Nichols moved the Council uphold the recommendation of the Planning Commission and of the Staff. The motion, seconded by Councilman Dryden, failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Handcox, Dryden, Nichols Noes: Councilman Friedman, Mayor Butler, Mayor Pro Tem Love, Councilman Lebermann The Mayor announced that the zoning was denied. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 438 September 21, 1972 Mr. Tom Curtis was concerned about the "notice" question, as he knew that a 3' x 4' rendition had been made up and he displayed a small version of the sign. Mr. Curtis suggested that something be presented to the Council that when a developer brings in land such as this, and a greater use than "A" is anticipated on part of it as shown by the preliminary plan and by the little plats that he go ahead and file for his zoning, because at that stage there would be no lots sold within that preliminary plan. At that time it would be taken in due course for the Council for its zoning, and that the Council make its intention known, but that the zoning not be finalized at that time to avoid the tax burden; that there be a time that the land could be in effect zoned but not legally zoned. During that time the land could be taxed as "A" Residence if it were not developed at a higher use. For a developer to take advantage of this procedure, he should be required to post large signs on the land designating the Council's zoning, showing areas in question. The Council plublicly heard and upheld the recommendation of the Planning Commission, with one additional contingency, on the following: FRIEN E. GATLIFF C14-72-177 9082-9126 Old U. S. Highway 183 From Interim "A" Res- idence First Height and Area To "C" Com- mercial First Height and Area NOT Recommended RECOMMENDED "GR"General Retail First Height and Area except for a 25' strip along the south boundary, which is re- commended "B" Residence First Heigth and Area subject to a 6' privacy fence along the south boundary lines (Petition filed) GRANTED as recommended subject to additional contingency restricting buildings to this tract to one story. Mr. Glenn Cortez represented Mr. and Mrs. Frien Gatliff, who have owned this property for many years, and due to development and commercial zoning which had taken place around them, they believe this to be an appropriate time to seek zoning in accordance with surrounding zoning. For many years this property has had a "C" designation, and he pointed out various commercial uses, which included contractor's yards, a trailer shop across the road, Emco Industries, and others. Opposition was expressed by Mr. Randy Lesseps, spokesman for Messrs. Don Byer and Bill Kastner, both from Texas Instruments, stating the petitioners believed there would be approval of the site plan and restricted to one story in height, and that an "A" buffer zone be established rather than "B". If the Planning Commission recommendation is upheld with only a "B" buffer, their cumulative depreciation on their property based on only a 5% depreciation would be between $15,000 and $20,000 coming off the Austin tax rolls. Mr. Gafliff could not appreciate that much with the "GR" rather than the "LR". The petition carries 22% of the property owners. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 21, 1972 939 Mr. Cortez stated the property is "GR" type, as the precedent has been established in another recent case on Mesa. He stated "GR" was appropriate. As to the suggestion by the opposition, he stated their recommendation of an "A" buffer would deny the Gatliffs any use of their property. Sixteen thousand square feet would be totally destroyed for any use. Mr. Cortez stated they would prefer to have a one-story development. He stated there is a privacy fence all the way along the boundary except for two lots. One is owned by the Griffins who would not wish a privacy fence. There is only one other lot involved which does not have a privacy fence. If this is placed as a condition, he asked that they be allowed to defer its construction until the property is developed. It was stated that was customary. Councilman Lebermann commented about the salvage of any trees stating until the Council had a specific tree ordinance, he did not believe it proper for the Council to make any kind of special requests as far as trees are concerned, of a developer. However, he would hope if there were any large oaks or other types of trees that serve as a buffer, that they be treated with sensitive awareness of their value. Councilman Nichols moved the Council uphold the recommendation of the Planning Commission with the additional contingency that the buildings on this subject tract be limited to a single story. The motion, seconded by Councilman Friedman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilman Handcox, Mayor Butler, Councilmen Dryden, Nichols Mayor Pro Tem Love, Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman Noes: None. The Mayor announced that the change had been granted and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. APPEARANCE POSTPONED The item of the appearance of Mr. Lloyd Lochridge, representing the Salvation Army, requesting that the Council amend a zoning application for a certain 10.02 acre tract of land at South 5th Street and Cumberland Road from "O", subject to a restrictive covenant and right-of-way, to "B" was postponed for one week, as Mr. Lochridge had not appeared at the time this was taken up. ARABIAN HORSE EXHIBITION Councilman Nichols moved the Council grant the request of Ms. Carolyn Vaughn of the Arabian Horse Club of Central Texas, to use a portion of Zilker Park for an Arabian Horse Exhibition, Saturday, October 7, 1972 - 1:00 P. M. to 6:00 P. M., subject to furnishing necessary insurance, and their providing for the clean-up.
