City Attorney Don Butler explained the City within three years must provide water, sewer and other utilities comparable to what other areas have. Fire and Police Protection would be available now; streets would be laid out, and all City facilities would be available to these areas. Mrs. Grace Carell, owner of land on Cooper and Matthews, stated her land was in the School District and her vacant land would be no detriment to the City Plans. Mr. Charles Manske, land owner just off Armadillo Road, registered opposition in that he was ecology minded and did not want this area annexed and the ecology of the area spoiled. He was concerned about City taxes. Reverend A. D. Eberhart, Pastor of the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, was concerned about the annexation of the 7.21 acres facing South First Street at the junction of Eberhart Lane. The other property is west of this property. Much of the land is open field, and he asked that the policy of annexing property be initiated at the request of the owner. He was not in favor of this annexation as his taxes would be raised. Mrs. Cecil Meredith, owner of 50 acres along the railroad track, wanted to keep their homestead with its pasture land. They are not interfering with any development of any other parts of this acreage that would be annexed. Their liveli_ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 28, 1972 964 hood is boarding, training, and selling horses. Taxes would be such that they could not keep their home. Councilman Dryden explained when annexation did take place there would be some City taxes; on the other hand, it is necessary to have planned development of sewer lines, etc. The Director of Planning pointed out the hazards toward development with little tracts in the county completely surrounded by the City. (1)Mr. Jess Webb, interested in 140 acres, did not oppose the annexation, stating it was agreeable to him for the City to annex this. He had in addition, the Carrell Oaks Sections 1 & 2, and approximately another 100 acres in the same grouping. The motion, seconded by Councilman Dryden, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Absent: Mayor Butler, Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro Tem Love Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman Councilman Handcox Councilman Nichols moved the Council close the public hearing and direct the administration to institute annexation proceedings to annex the following: Total of 651.24 acres out of the Santiago Del Valle Grant: (1) 604.70 acres of unplatted land out of the Santiago Del Valle Grant. (initiated by City of Austin) (2) 46.54 acres of land proposed DOVE SPRINGS SECTIONS I and II. (requested by owner's representative) The (1) Mr. Charles Perkins appeared before the Council, pointing out that Emerald Forest Drive was to come south toward his property line in sich a way as to eliminate access to this street. He was concerned about lack of access. Planning Director, Mr. Dick Lillie, explained the annexation would not affect access to any property and those problems would be taken care of through the subdivision process. Later in the meeting Mr. Perkins spoke again regarding the annexation of the area, stating these arterial streets are being brought into the area but these properties are being excluded from access to these major streets that are being developed through this property. Mr. Lillie invited Mr. Perkins to meet with him in the Planning Department and work something out. (1) (2) Mr. Irvin Ebaugh had in excess of 3.14 acres on the expressway that he had held for 18 years. He gave a history of the property as it passes through water districts, school districts, all of which called for taxes. He realized there would be an added taxation if annexed. He cannot sell the property as he cannot provide water to this property. Councilman Nichols pointed out there was a million dollars in the last Capital Improvements Program for a line into this area. The City Manager stated he would be glad to get Mr. Ebaugh a more accurate projection as to this matter. Mr. Jack Cashin spoke in behalf of Miss Fannie Willcox and Miss Virgia Cage who were interested in six acres fronting on I.H. 35, opposing the annexation. _ CITY OF AUSTIN.

SEPTIC TANK ORDINANCE Mayor Butler announced it was 2:00P.M., and introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 41 AND CHAPTER 13 OF THE AUSTIN CITY CODE OF 1967, RELATING TO REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SEWARE-COLLECTING AND TREATMENT SYSTEMS FOR SUBDIVISIONS; LOT SIZES AND TESTING OF SOILS TO DETERMINE THE SUITABILITY OF LOTS AND SUBDIVISIONS FOR SEPTIC TANK USE; ADOPTING AND INCORPORATING "CITY OF AUSTIN REGULATIONS FOR SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM USE IN SUBDIVISIONS"; AND "CITY OF AUSTIN REGULATIONS FOR SEPTIC TANK SYSTEMS"; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. City Attorney Don Butler gave a resume of the amendment. Mr. Tom Curtis, representing the Austin Association of Home Builders, stated his client, the City's Environmentalist and City-County Health officials, are in agreement now with res spect to the proposal that is before the Council. There is only one area where they were not in agreement, and that is about the point of an appeal from the Planning Commission to the City Council. City Attorney Don Butler did not believe that the statute would permit the proposal or change Mr. Curtis was proposing. Dr. Sessums pointed out the two items: One relates to the individual system on which the Health Department would make a ruling and any appeal would go to the Council. The other pertains to regulations for septic tank use in a subdivision, and appeals from that ruling would go the Planning Commission. Mr. Woodrow Sledge was present for the discussion. He briefly discussed the 9,000 square foot minimum for a lot. Mr. Stuart Henry spoke on this point with Mr. Bledge. Mr. Tom Curtis then brought up the length of time for notification for the proposed amendments. Mrs. Nevenna Travis, realtor in the City and also the Secretary-Treasurer of the Texas System of Natural Laboratories advocated that the Council pass this ordinance immediately, see how it works and keep working with the Planning Health Divisions. Mr. Guy Thompson proposed a change in the ordinance so that it would call for an adequate area for at least one replacement of the absorption bed. It was suggested the minimum lot size be 12,000 square feet. Mr. Tom Curtis explained that each lot would be looked at by itself. Mayor Pro Tem Love moved the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance effective immediately. The motion, seconded by Councilman Friedman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Absent: Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro Tem Love, Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman, Mayor Butler None Councilman Handcox The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed.
