MR. POWERS appeared before Council and requested an extension for Transportation Enterprises, Inc. WOOD SHINGLES Council had before it for consideration the amendment of Chapter 36 of the Austin Building Code to further restrict and limit the use of wood shingles. Mayor McClellan pointed out that this is not a public hearing although there are several people who have something they want to say. Mr. Dan Davidson, City Manager, addressed Council as follows: "Several weeks ago you adopted a measure by ordinance which, in effect, bans wood shingles in certain types of construction in Austin. You directed that we proceed to bring back an ordinance that would do more to ensure the safety of people living in this community. We've done that and Mr. Lonnie Davis will present our proposal. I'd like to make several additional observations. We've had a lot of valuable assistance in coming up with this recommendation, including some from Mike Levy who has put us in touch with some expertise within the City of Dallas Fire Department because of his knowledge of an outstanding job they did for that particular city. Even though we have visited with Assistant Chief Lambert with the City of Dallas and we've had the benefit of some of their statistical data, we were unable to arrange a situation where Assistant Chief Lambert could come to Austin for this meeting. I want the Council to know that we agree with the Council's directive and I hope after you hear the presentation that you will see fit to act favorably on our proposal." Mr. Davis, after Mayor McClellan pointed out Council has read the ordinance, state that the revised ordinance will address the problem and provide protection needed for citizens. Councilmember Goodman said it does not address shingle on siding or for interior purpose use. Mr. Davis said that by spring or summer this phase of the use of shingles will be addressed. Councilmember Cooke asked if, under the proposed ordinance as amended, existing buildings which need shingles repaired or replaced, shall have them replaced with wood shingles which have been treated with flame retardant. Mr. Davis pointed out that eventually there will be nothing but treated wood shingles on the market. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 Chief Ed Kirkham, Austin Fire Department, appeared to endorse the amended ordinance. He said it would limit the size of treated shingles, and the long range effect is it would have is either a fire credit or penalty on fire insurance based on the past 5-year record. Because of Austin's good fire record, the City enjoys a 15% credit less than Texas standards. He recommended passage of the amended ordinance. He also stated that any replacement of shingles on existing structures should be done with pre-treated underwrited shingles. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if shingles which are already installed can be treated. Chief Kirkham said yes, but they would not conform to the tests which factory treated shingles must pass. Councilmember Himmelblau referred to the groups listed in the ordinance which will be permitted to use treated wood shingles under limited conditions and said she objected to Group R, Division 1: Apartment houses, hotels and motels. Mayor Pro Tem Mullen said he has a problem with this too. Discusssion followed concerning hotels, motels, apartments versus homes, etc. A man who did not identify himself, from Lake Travis Roofing, told Council some of the history of wood shingles. He said the cost of treated wood shingles would be prohibitive. MR. J. H. PHILLIPS, who had signed up under Citizen Communications to discuss wood shingles, appeared before Council. He said he thought the ordinance passed last month was all right and Council should not hurry to make changes. He pointed out that Austin has not had any major fire losses because of wood shingles. Mr. Phillips said that as a roofer, he would have to work around treated shingles all day and wondered if a study had been made regarding occupational exposure to treated sawdust. He said the price of shingles has tripled. His advice to Council is not not over react. GIL BRUCE, Technical Representative, Wood Shingle Bureau, stated Class "C" pressure treated wood shingles would probably increase the cost of a house by $2,000. He advised Council to leave single family dwellings alone regarding requirements for wood shingles, but special attention should be given to apartments. M. T. HALDEMAN, Secretary, Austin Association of Firefighters, showed slides of buildings with wood shingles. He advised total ban of all wood shingles in Austin. MR. HENRY HOLMAN, Chairman, Building Code Board of Appeals, told Council that the issue of wood shingles is not a pocketbook issue, and asked what life is worth to someone under wood shingles. GREG YAMEN, A+ Roofing and Remodeling, said the ordinance passed already has the right basic idea. He spoke of his Flame X franchise, which is a fire retardant which can be applied to shingles, and said shingles are made safe when treated with Flame X. Mr. Davis told Council that Flame X does come close to standards required of factory treated shingles and that it should be submitted to fire underwriters for testing. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council adopt the draft ordinance pertaining to wood shingles; with the additional amendment that repairs or replacements be done with treated wood shingles. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. Friendly Amendment Not Accepted Councilmember Himmelblau offered a friendly amendment to delete one and two family residences from having to use treated wood shingles. Councilmember Cooke did not accept the friendly amendment. MR. BILL KÖRSCHAN appeared and said most wood shingle fires begin with sparks from the fireplace. He said a flame arrestant for fireplaces should be adopted in the Building Code. Mr. Davis said he would look into this and bring back a report to Council. Substitute Motion Mayor Pro Tem Mullen made a substitute motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, to adopt the draft ordinance but delete single family dwellings. Roll call on the substitute motion showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Noes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Roll Call on Original Motion Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 36 OF THE AUSTIN CITY CODE OF 1967; AMENDING SECTION 36-1704; AMENDING SECTION 36-3203 OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE 1976 EDITION; PROVIDING DEFINITIONS AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 791220-0; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Councilmember Cooke Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Noes: Councilmember Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. Mr. Lonnie Davis asked Council what the implementation date should be. Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council implement the draft ordinance in 60 days. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Himmelblau METROPOLITAN AREA ROADWAY PLAN Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on the Proposed Metropolitan Area Roadway Plan. Mr. Joe Ternus reviewed the Proposed Metropolitan Area Roadway Plan. (COPY IS ON FILE IN CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.) MR. BILL MOORE, Chairman, Urban Transportation Commission, appeared before Council to recommend adoption of the Roadway Plan. He said the plan represented 1/5 of the transportation plan for the City of Austin. He reminded Council and Chamber audience that as situations change in the future, the whole plan may not be adopted. Mr. Moore said there were particular questions concerning Steck Avenue...that perhaps it should not be a major arterial, but a park road instead. Councilmember Himmelblau thought it is premature to widen Allendale before MoPac is completed. Mr. Moore reminded her that there has to be access into a neighborhood, and for this there is a need for ample right of way from a major artery into a neighborhood. He said there is concern that the protection of the integrity of the neighborhood for one group will disturb the integrity of others. Mayor Pro Tem Mullen questioned what would happen if they discard Artery 7. Mr. Moore said if there is nothing put there then there will be a southern extension to MoPac. Mayor McClellan also stated she does not think Artery 7 is necessary. There was further discussion, and Councilmember Cooke feared that mass transit might be doomed if there are too many accessible roads. Mr. Moore said the busses do travel the streets. Councilmember Cooke suggested that the people attending the public hearing be heard, but that the hearing then be continued to another date since there had been some question concerning the publicizing of the hearing. ROGER DUNCAN, representing the Environmental Board, emphasized that three of the proposals in the Plan would be adverse and the roads unnecessary. They are: Artery 7, Camp Croft Loop, and the opening of Steck Avenue as a major artery. He said the Barton Creek area should be preserved, and roads should not be there, even if it does mean the motorists have to drive further to get where they are going. RON ALLEN, 8300 Silver Ridge Drive, President, Balcones Civic Association, spoke to the following points: 1. Expedite the development of Spicewood Springs Road to Loop 360. 2. Remove Steck Avenue from the plan as a major artery. 3. Spicewood as the major artery to the Great Hills Mall should be the number one priority. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 and within 400 feet of (This is contrary to Urban 4. Steck Avenue is less than one mile Spicewood Springs at some points. Transportation's plan of having at least one mile between major arteries.) Mr. Allen pointed out that 1,000 people living between Burnet Road and Loop 360 use Steck Avenue as their main ingress and egress. He felt the proposed extension of Steck would be withdrawn from the Proposed Metropolitan Roadway Plan. In addition to homes facing Steck Avenue between Burnet Road and MoPac, there are apartment complexes and the town home developments of Courtland Oaks, Villa Serena and Summerwood, all of which have homes facing Steck Avenue. Mr. Allen said the neighborhood needs to be preserved from encroachment from a major artery. CELESTE KROVAK, 4060 Duval, Hyde Park Neighborhood Association, said they are concerned with the two areas of 38th and 38-1/2 Street. They do not want it widened to four lanes. ROBERT CARLSON, Balcones Civic Association, spoke to the extension of Steck Avenue. He wants the study of this extension to be continued for 90 days to determine its necessity. BILL CARSON, Barton Hills-Horseshoe Bend Neighborhood Associations, told Council that Barton Skyway does not need to be linked to the bridge. He said he lends his moral support to all other neighborhood associations who are concerned with major streets going through their neighborhood. ROBERT BRANDT addressed Council by stating he is in favor of the Metropolitan Roadway Plan as it has been presented. He presented a petition with over 300 names, many belonging to Balcones Civic Association, for the extension of Steck Avenue. TOM BULLINGTON, 3829 Steck Avenue, Courtland Oaks, spoke to the problem which already exists concerning traffic on Steck Avenue. He said it already is a race track at times. Cars have ended up in the front yards of the Courtland Oaks area of Steck Avenue, taking down fences, mail boxes, a fire hydrant and a City light post. He also noted that students from Anderson High and Hill Elementary will be trying to cross a major artery by foot. He stated the Spicewood artery makes sense and told Council, "We need your help to protect our neighborhood." BARBARA CILLEY appeared and said the concept leaves out several things and there is no fiscal note. She asked how much traffic the plan will handle. She said there should be a time scale on the maps for planned development and thought Council needed much more information before they vote. MRS. J. L. HAY, who lives on Allendale Road, wondered why more lanes are proposed there when the four lanes already there adequately handle the traffic. BILL COOPER, Summerwood Homeowners Association, spoke for 125 homeowners. He said they are bordered by Steck Avenue with several homes facing Steck. Не commended the planning groups who question the need for extension of Steck. He asked to be informed of any future hearings. They oppose extension of Steck Avenue. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 Councilmember Himmelblau stated that she hopes the land at the end of Steck Avenue becomes a park. A man who identified himself as Chairman, Task Force, Steck Valley, said they have not yet received enough information regarding development of Steck Avenue. His concern is that if the extension of Steck is taken out of the Plan, how will it be put back in the Plan if it is needed in the future? He felt if it is kept in the Plan there will be an option at a later date to take it out. Their goal as the Task Force is to develop a land use plan for the use of Steck Valley, exploring the aspects of transportation and recreation within the neighborhood represented by the Balcones Civic Association. They want to study the advantages of having a City park as opposed to having an extension to Loop 360, or a combination of a City park and an extension of Steck. They will then recommend a course of action or solution which will best meet the needs recommended by the Balcones Civic Association. TERRY LEIFESTE, Allendale Neighborhood Association, recommended deleting Hancock Drive and 45th from the Plan. He said 45th is 99% residential. JIM LANDRUM, Chairman, Board of Trustees, St. John's United Methodist Church, said the Plan would create a change on Allendale Road which would preclude parking for the Church. If they had no parking area they would be in violation of the City Code. He also said an increase in the speed limit to 45 mph would be a hazard. As Chairman of the Zoning Committee, Northwest Hills Civic Association, he is in agreement with Ron Allen. He does not want to see Steck Avenue extended as a major artery. ... BILL CARSON represented 44 families who live on Steck Avenue. He said they are all opposed to the opening of Steck Avenue as a major artery. Their homes are between Burnet Road and Balcones, and they are all family dwellings. Mr. Carson expressed their preference for a park in the Steck Avenue area. AL MCMURTRY appeared before Council to oppose the widening of Allendale Road. He said people are not attracted to Austin because of their highways. He supports the Planning Commission vote which wants to maintain Allendale at its present width of 44 feet. Allendale Road, Mr. McMurtry said, should remain a minor artery. DAVE DOBBS, representing Texas Association for Public Transportation, said he shares Councilmember Cooke's fears that the roadway plan could destroy public transit. He said that at the present rate of growth, Austin will have 1,000,000 people by the end of the century and there is a need to lure people out of their cars. There should be electric trolley buses and there should be a movement toward mass comprehensive transportation system. DAN LOPOSER, homeowner in Courtland Oaks, located at Steck Avenue and Greenslope, appeared to oppose the opening of Steck Avenue as a major artery. He spoke in support of the Enviornmental Report and said Steck is a residential area with many homes fronting the Avenue. Mr. Loposer pointed out that Spicewood Springs Road is only two blocks from Steck Avenue. There is no need for two major arteries to be that close. He requested Council to remove the Steck extension from the Plan. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 SUSAN PLATT, Downtown Sierra Club, said a plan is needed which will work for downtown Austin. WALLACE PELLERIN, past President, Balcones Civic Association, spoke as a resident. He pointed out that Spicewood and Steck are close together. Steck is a neighborhood street and the proposal to make it into a major artery should be removed from the Metropolitan Area Roadway Plan. He said if needed, the use of Steck can be added to the Plan later, but it should not be included now. He said that Spicewood can be widened to accomodate more traffic. HERBERT MILLER, who lives on Mountain Ridge in Westover Hills, wants Spicewood extended so more cars can use it. He thought Mountain Ridge and Wild Ridge, as access to Loop 360, should be closed. WILLIAM PURRS appeared to state the bicycle plans should be stronger. MAL HERBROSA, Pastor, St. John's Methodist Church, advised Council to go with the Planning Commission's proposal, and protect the neighborhoods. DAVID UNDERA, 5807 Woodview, is opposed to Allendale becoming a major artery, since he lives right off of Allendale. He said one of the things that makes Austin unique and desirable is that it is a city of neighborhoods and also a city that is liveable. He urged Council to keep it that way by curbing the number of arterial roads. PHILIP BLACKERBY, 1400 Foxwood Cove, spoke to the Barton Skyway Bridge and Artery 7 and Camp Croft Road. He said these are not needed, they would only lead to more development in the area which is not needed in a watershed. DAVID BODEMAN, Allendale, spoke in concern for his home. He urged Council not to approve the widening of Allendale and said it would divide the neighborhood, cause much more traffic and cause a hazard for children in the area. He supports the Planning Commission's recommendation to keep it as a minor roadway of 44 feet. (At this point, Mayor McClellan introduced Councilmember Zapata from Fort Worth.) BRYAN DUDLEY appeared and requested the improvement of 290 West. He thought more sophisticated planning can be done. DOROTHY RICHTER, Hyde Park Neighborhood Association, said the Urban Transportation Department is looking at roads, not people. She felt that most of the people present were opposing the Plan and Council should take the suggestions of the pe people. JOE GIEZELMAN, transportation planner, said there needs to be a way of revising a plan after it is before Council. He advised Council to adopt some procedure for revising the plan. FRANK HORSFAL appeared to state his opinion that MoPac should continue over to Oak Hill. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 CONNIE MOORE, member of the Zilker Park Posse, showed slides. She expressed an opinion that Artery 7 and Camp Croft Road should be deleted from the Plan. JOHN PANICK, who lives on Shoal Creek Boulevard, requested that it not be designated as a minor arterial highway. Mayor Pro Tem Mullen spoke in defense of Bill Moore, stating he was for free mass transportation and he had spent many hours on the roadway plan. JOHN GAYNOR, 1401 Willis, thought more consideration should be given to all modes of transportation. BOB HAVER, who lives one block from Allendale Road, spoke in opposition to a 120 foot right of way for Allendale Road. Councilmember Goodman asked a question pertaining to opening Steck or not opening Steck.. "Specifically, we have a similar situation as we had on MoPac south of the Enfield area where we were concerned about traffic coming through on Palma Plaza. The final plan agreed upon would have physical barriers to those other streets. Why can't we design the same type thing to access onto Mountain Ridge and Hyridge? Not extend Steck and also prevent access from 360 to Mountain Ridge and Hyridge. Is that possible?" Mr. Joe Ternus, Director of Urban Transportation, felt there is a need to have traffic flow through the area. Artificial barriers could be put in to discourage the traffic, but one would still not prohibit the traffic. He felt the traffic on Steck would primarily be the traffic of residents of the area going to and from the mall area. Councilmember Goodman said, "If we do not extend Steck, which seems to me a likely decision of this Council, and we close off Mountain Ridge and Hyridge, what we're talking about is the interior traffic within the neighborhood coming out to Mesa, and then going Spicewood to 360 or 183. He said it seemed to him they would accomplish the best of both worlds with that solution. Mr. Ternus thought this would overload Spicewood Springs. He thought Council had given a clear indication of their desire when they approved the location of the mall and closed Jollyville Road. No one, he said, had any idea of not extending Steck. He said if Council's intent is to stop Steck, then the vacation of Jollyville Road should not have been approved. Councilmember Cooke said he recalled when they vacated Jollyville Road, there was more discussion that it would not be able to traverse 360 and that was the central issue. He said he recalled no implications in that decision that Mr. Ternus is alluding to about Steck or Spicewood. Mayor McClellan suggested that since Council would not vote on the Metropolitan Area Roadway Plan tonight that they might set a work session for Council in between public hearings. Councilmember Cooke suggested they continue the public hearing at a later date. His request, he said, is based on the number of calls he has had in his office concerning the fact many felt notification of the hearing had been scarce. Councilmember Himmelblau said she is uncomfortable with the plan. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council continue the public hearing on the proposed Metropolitan Area Roadway Plan until February 27, 1980 at 7:00 p.m. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen Noes: None Mr. DeLaRosa said Council should act on the plan in 60 days. Mr. Davidson said he would be glad to renew the letter so instructing Council. Mr. Bill Moore said his Commission would meet at Council's pleasure to discuss revisions of the Plan. APPEAL OF SPECIAL PERMIT Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on an appeal from Ron Brey, South Austin Citizen's Advisory Board, on the decision of the Planning Commission to grant a Special Permit to Capitol City Oil Company, by Kirk Kuykendall. (Case Number C14P-79-050) Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, reported that the site in question is located on South Ist Street just to the north of Molly Dawson School. It would permit a car repair facility in an area zoned "LR" and permitted by Special Permit. It is in an area that is strip zoned along South First, adjacent to residential development. It is a conversion of an existing building. He went on to say all the conditions of the Planning Commission have been done, including landscaping, and driveway on Powell Lane closed and that a statement be made on Special Permit that inoperable and wrecked automobiles will not be stored on the site. WILLIAM GREEN, representing South Austin Citizen's Advisory Board, appeared in opposition to the application. They feel the kind of zoning and use requested is inappropriate next to a school. They are concerned with the looks of the property and thinks any zoning in the future should be down-zoning in order to keep South First responsive to the neighborhood. Mr. Green asked that the request be denied, and if not there should be a stipulation that the site plan be approved. Councilmember Himmelblau asked the City Attorney, "I noticed in the building inspection report that this site is made up of four separate lots. Has this been short formed to make it into one so it would conform to the permit? It seems to me that if there isn't a short form on this and we're looking at four separate lots, then the permit is not valid." Mr. Lillie pointed out that as long as the use exists on a lot, even if it's two lots, that can be tied down by the Special Permit. Then the short form would not be necessary. ... MR. KIRK KUYKENDALL, applicant, reviewed what has happened thus far re his application for Special Permit. He said the property was short formed 20 years ago. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- January 17, 1980 Councilmember Himmelblau requested an answer on the short form. Council continued with its regularly scheduled agenda while the information requested was being researched. Later in the evening, discussion of the Special Permit was resumed. Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I wanted to find out if the site plan tied those lots together so that one tract could not be sold separately." Lonnie Davis, Building Inspector Director, stated: "As long as all four lots remain a single tract of ground, we have no difficulty with it. There is no illegal subdivision involved at all." Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I was not really overjoyed in granting the permit and was looking for a way out, but if the tracts are bound together, we have no choice but to go with the Special Permit." Motion Councilmember Himmelblau closed the public hearing on an appeal from Ron Brey, South Austin Citizens' Advisory Board, on the decision of the Planning Commission to grant a Special Permit to Capitol City Oil Company, and granted the Special Permit as recommended by the Planning Commission, with the four lots kept as one. (Case Number C14P-79-050). The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino, Noes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Mayor Pro Tem Mullen PUBLIC HEARING ON ANNEXATION Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at 10:45 p.m. to consider annexation of and directing the administration to institute annexation proceedings to annex the following: 3,000 acres of land north of Bee Creek south of Lake Austin excluding the area in Water District No. 10. (COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT IS ON FILE IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE. MOST OF THE FOLLOWING IS TAKEN FROM THE TRANSCRIPT.) Mr. Lillie presented the following report: "A brief historic comment regarding the peninsula area, that I am sure will be expanded on as the evening goes on. In the late 60's and early 70's a decision was made by Texas Supreme Court on a suit filed by property owners in the peninsula north of Bee Creek, that an area of incorporated land..a belt of land along the..basically the shore line of the lake..is void, and the area became a part of the Austin ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction) with some overlap area with Westlake Hills. Following that decision and agreement between the West Lake Hills Council and the City of Austin Council on an ETJ allocation, provided all of the land north of Bee Creek to the City of Austin as far as exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction. Since those decisions, very few annexations have taken place by the City of Austin, basically along the shore of Lake Austin, and primarily where utilities have already existed. Last year, there was a consideration by the Council on a -CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS January 17, 1980 request to establish a municipal utility district for Davenport Ranch, which resulted in a consent agreement to permit the establishment of the Municipal Utility District (MUD). At about the same time, the Council expressed an interest in looking at alternative approaches to the development of the peninsula and a report was written by the department showing alternative development plans and approaches with respect to the future, and Council in the summer set a public hearing for October for the consideration of the annexation, and in October rescheduled that public hearing for this evening. The pattern of development in the peninsula is basically undeveloped acreage and low density acreage lots in small subdivisions on septic tanks generally along existing streets. There are two public decisions that have been made which will impact future development of the area: 1. Is the major public investment in Loop 360, which has been cleared, graded and improved partially, and also the bridge that will cross Lake Austin in about two years. 2. And the second, is the consent agreement for the Davenport Ranch Municipal Utility District, which included a decision to extend water and wastewater service into the peninsula for that Municipal Utility District. Since October, the interest in the peninsula has heated somewhat and during that period of time, there have been a series of meetings..one at the Ullrich Treatment Plant at which the City Manager, Mr. De La Rosa and I attended.. articles in the West Lake Hills newspaper, and in the Austin media..meetings with the Hill Country Association Board of Directors and the administration related to alternatives and interests on the part of the City of Austin in the peninsula. Shortly after those series of meetings, there was the submission by the Hill Country Association of principles and goals that I think the members of the Council received and the members of the Planning Commission received that identified issues that they were concerned about with respect to the future of the peninsula, and following the receipt of that report, the staff prepared a response to those principles and goals, also an analysis of the limited purpose annexation versus full purpose annexation alternatives and a preliminary fiscal statement by the Research and Budget office. That report was submitted to Council about 2 or 3 weeks back. Several questions need to be addressed. One is the City interested in the peninsula area..a question. If not, we should decide on the alternatives that would be available to the property owners that own land within the peninsula area with respect to.. if the City is not interested, then what would the alternatives for use be. If the City is interested, then when do you want to proceed with annexation, now or in the future? And if we do want to proceed with annexation, under what method of annexation should we consider? Limited purpose or full purpose annexation? And finally, if full purpose annexation is decided, then what level of services should be established for that peninsula area? January 17, 1980 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The Planning Commission on Tuesday of this week recommended that the City take no action now, that the area is in a low priority under the City's Comprehensive Plan, that the area does not fall within the 5-year annexation program 1978-83. And finally, that the City has and is developing land development standards to handle subdivision development in the area, and finally that the recommendation include favoring the annexation of land along the 360 corridor in order to extend land use, zoning, sign and other City ordinances to preserve this highway corridor. Thank you, Mayor." County Commissioner ANN RICHARDS stated the following: "I want to salute you, good friends of mine on the Council, for your amazing stamina. You know I spent all day with the commissioners and then spent all evening with you. And I do want to congratulate the City Council because you guys are looking more and more like the Commissioners Court all the time in recent weeks. I come here this evening and I am going to be very brief. You all need a joke but I am not going to take my time.. I am going to be very brief because lots of people here want to speak to you, but I am coming to you as a County Commissioner, and not as a resident of the area. One of the problems that we faced out there and all of you all already know it, is that the City did annex an area that it does not now provide services to, either in terms of law enforcement or in terms of fire protection, or I might add in terms of taking care of the roads and the drainage problems. So what's happened is those people out there are in a limbo, no-man..woman's land..where no one is responsible, where recently only..like a week ago, we had a really severe situation where the police and the sheriff argue on the radio who's responsible to have to go to deal with a really tough and as it mattered someone who lost their life kind of situation. I deal all the time with roads in the area, where people call me and say what are you going to do about my road, and I say, it is in the City, and I get a letter from John German, and John German says it is in the City, but we don't take care of it, and so the people that lose in the process are the constituents that live out there. It is not the elected officials that fade the heat, which we are becoming more and more accustomed to doing, but it is being totally without anyone being responsible, for the very things that citizens should receive. I think the reason that you all postponed even to the consideration of this matter, is that you were going to have an ordinance presented to you, I thought, this last fall or sometime earlier on, where you were going to have the suburban area road standards and density standards brought to you so that these people in this area would know, when the annexation did come, what the expectations would be from the Council about future development in the area, but you all haven't considered that yet, and you haven't even seen it. And I think that you would defuse a lot of this issue if you could make some determination about what you are going to do with the area before you go out there and annex it, and Number 2, if you do determine to annex it, don't cheat them, go ahead and take them in, but provide the services that they deserve and don't leave them in limbo like the ones that are out there now. And I know you in your wisdom will come to the right conclusion and I thank you for hearing me." "I am HELEN DURIO, President, Lake Austin Hill Country Neighborhood Association. Two months ago, our Association submitted a document titled A PLAN FOR THE WEST LAKE PENINSULA to the City of Austin in response to your initiating CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 consideration of annexation of over 3,000 acres of the West Lake Peninsula. Copies have been furnished to each of you, the City Planning Commission, Mr. Davidson, and Mr. Lillie. I hope that each of you has had an opportunity to read the Plan, as my remarks are based on the recommendation made in the Plan. In addition, we are presenting to you tonight a great many signatures on Petitions supporting the recommendation in the Plan from the residents of the West Lake Peninsula. My statement tonight will be a firm one; one that I wish were not necessary to make. I am not delighted at the prospect of opposing members of your City staff so strongly, but the issue is a large one, and what you do during your term of office will effect the future dramatically. Let me say, now, that despite our disagreement with the recommendations made by your staff, Mr. Davidson and Mr. Lillie have been cooperative with us, and have been generous with their time. Their jobs are difficult ones, and I would not want to try to resolve the many conflicting interests that they face daily. Unfortunately, in the case of the West Lake Peninsula, the conflicting interests are not well balanced. Developmental interests have greater economic clout than we, the residents of the area. It has been said that the issues concerning the future of the West Lake Peninsula are complex. They are only complex if you make them so. The decision can be a simple one for each of you. Do you want to see the West Lake Peninsula developed or protected? If you favor development, you will listen to the recommendations made by your staff. You will be told by Mr. Davidson and Mr. Lillie that 5,000 septic systems will someday pollute Lake Austin; thus, oversized water and sewage mains under the Lake are necessary to protect and service the area. I must tell you, however, for those who have as little familiarity with the land in question as those recommending services, that half of those 5,000 acres could never be built upon under present septic tank or evapotranspiration system ordinances under West Lake Hill's control. The problem of urban run-off into the Lake is a more crucial concern, as is the extension of sewer lines under the Lake. Recent EPA reports have concluded that conventional sewer lines, which may leak, can be more polluting than properly designed septic systems. You will be told by the Legal Department of the City that while the legality of Limited Purpose annexation is questionable, it might be instituted on an interim basis...or perhaps General Purpose annexation with limited services could be put into effect in the Peninsula. They may fail to mention that there is likely to be some negative reaction from citizens when forced to pay taxes without services. You will be told that in order "to protect the Lake and the Peninsula, you must support policies incompatible with Austin's Comprehensive Plan and the Austin Growth Management Plan; policies which will commit Austin taxpayers to ever increasing bond issues to pay for utility services to an area only a few months ago that was the lowest in priority for annexation, according to this same City staff. You will not be told by the staff that this area is now a haven for those interested in transferring into the Eanes School District; nor that developers are interested in catering to this desire. It is unlikely to be mentioned, either, that if West Lake Hills had retained control of the Peninsula, Davenport Ranch's high density could never have occurred. Davenport Ranch would _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 have had to develop compatibly with the strict standards of the City of West Lake Hills. You will not be told that the presence of Davenport Ranch has caused other developers to want equally high densities and, thus, a floodgate to development in the West Lake Peninsula has been opened. You might even be told, as I was recently by certain planners, that density and protection of the environment were separate issues. Cluster housing is the panacea, of course. While an interesting thesis, it breaks down in practice. Developers "protect" open spaces in the areas that are not feasible to build upon, and overcrowd the land that is buildable. To reiterate, you are being asked to make a simple decision, not a complex one at all. You can open the floodgates more widely to development of the Peninsula and the Lake Austin Watershed, or you can see that the floodgates are lowered a little. If you prefer that the Peninsula be another urban suburb in the next ten years, you will listen to your staff. If, however, you are interested in maintaining the delicate ecology of the hills and watershed overlooking Austin and safeguarding the purity of the water supply of the City of Austin, you will support the one and only avenue open to that prospect; release of the Peninsula back into the jurisdiction of West Lake Hills, where it belonged until ten years ago, and whose already-in-place building and zoning codes will oversee appropriate development gradually. Austin is blessed with having two nearby environmental wonders: Barton Creek and the West Lake Peninsula. The purity and beauty of Barton Creek have been altered for future generations by a lack of foresight in our generation. Now, you are in the position of making a decision that will effect the sensitive environment of the West Lake Peninsula and Lake Austin Watershed. I would like to see you vote tonight to return the Peninsula to West Lake Hills' jurisdiction, where many of us feel it rightfully belongs. We do not believe that there will be any greater investment that you could make for the future of Austin in your tenure in office than this course of action. However, if you feel that more study is needed, I urge you at least to place a moratorium tonight on any building or site plan approval, extension, and/or oversizing of water and sewage mains into the West Lake Peninsula, until a decision can be made." Several citizens spoke against annexation. They were: BARBARA NOBLES, President, Austin League of Women Voters; CAROL GREEN, We Care Austin; SANDRA FOUNTAIN, Travis Audubon Society; DR. ROSTOW; a man who did not identify himself; GUY THOMPSON; MARILYN WAITE, Lake Austin Hill Country Association. MS. HENRIETTA JACOBSEN appeared in behalf of State Representative Mary Jane Bode and read the following statement: "Esteemed City Council members, I regret that a previous commitment prevents me from staying for the C-3 hearing on annexation of the peninsula, but please accept this memorandum as my statement of opposition to the proposed annexation. While I commend Mr. Lillie on the thoughtfulness of his proposals to protect this environmentally sensitive area through zoning, I believe it would be more beneficial to the area and its residents if Austin did not annex this acreage: =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 17, 1980 1. The residents want to be part of West Lake Hills. 2. Most Austin taxpayers would prefer that the City pull back on annexations and concentrate on better services for people now paying Austin taxes. 3. This type of annexation serves to further dilute the representation of minority citizens in Austin's existing boundaries. As the State Representative for the area under consideration, I believe that my statement reflects the feelings of the citizens involved." Several more people spoke in opposition to the annexation. They were: DICK STANFORD, DOROTHY DEPEW; FRANK NEWSOM; EMMETT SHELTON, SR. KEN MANNING appeared and spoke about annexation and said the Council should thoroughly study what they do. Councilmember Cooke asked that the standards and ordinances as set out by the City Council of West Lake Hills be researched by Austin City staff members of the Planning Department in order to gain more information. Mr. Davidson, City Manager, thought that if Council researches this, they should also know about the City of West Lake Hills Capital Improvements Program, look at a copy of their Master Plan, and see what kind of dollars they have allocated for open space for the next 5 or 10 years. After lengthy discussion, Councilmember Goodman stated: "... We do not have a request tonight from West Lake City Council to relinquish this territory to them, and we do not have adequate information for a limited purpose annexation action or full purpose annexation with limited services, and I think those are basically three options. So for the time being, I would simply move that we close this public hearing and consider action at a later time." Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing on annexation proceedings and consider action at a later time, and direct the City Manager to direct staff to pursue the three options. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Trevino. Considerable discussion ensued, then Councilmember Goodman said, "I would like to make one comment..one final comment, Mayor, and that is that I think their goals and ours are the same, that is to protect the entire peninsula with low-density development, and how we achieve that is what remains to be decided, but I don't think there is any question of our goals." Roll Call on Motion Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Snell Noes: None January 17, 1980 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS PARADE PERMIT Mayor Pro Tem Mullen moved that the Council approve the request of MR. FRANK NEWSOM for a Parade Permit for Austin Travis County Livestock Show, from 2:00 p.m. to 2:45 p.m., Saturday, March 15, 1980, beginning from parking lots at 10th and Trinity, west on 10th to Congress, south to Second Street, west on Guadalupe and over the South 1st Bridge to release area at the Chamber of Commerce. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino Noes: None EXTENSION OF PARMER LANE Council had before it for consideration a Resolution to consider endorsing the extension of Parmer Lane West of F.M. 1325. Mr. John German, Director of Public Works, stated, "Basically, the item is on here to consider approval of a resolution that the City and County go to the Highway Commission and request the extension of Parmer Lane as a farm to market road west of FM 1325, or Burnet Road, to FM 620." Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "This has been in the Master Plan for some time, has it not?" Mr. German said, "I believe it's in the current plan, which is 62, later amended in 1969." Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I know I saw it when I was in the Planning Commission on the Master Plan. I just wanted to bring that point out." Commissioner Bob Honts addressed Council as follows: "Mayor, I think you all are familiar with this. Let the folks make statements. It's been a long evening, and I'll be glad to answer anything that comes from that." JAMES YETTS appeared before Council. He said the people who are involved in this thing have not been notified. "in fact," he stated, "Mr. Bob Honts' office have notified everybody who has called his office that no one would be allowed to speak to this Council tonight. Therefore, I request this be delayed until proper notification has been sent out." Councilmember Goodman stated, "This City Council is being asked to It does endorse this project for presentation to the State Highway Department. not involve the expenditure of any City funds either for construction or for maintenance and this City has very strict procedures for notification whenever we do have such an instance that impacts our citizens. This is outside of the City limits..there is a portion within the City limits, but all of this will be built by the County and maintained by the State." Mr. German commented that there is a section within the City limits this will pass through and part of it is Mr. Yetts' property. Motion Councilmember Goodman made a motion to adopt the resolution endorsing the extension of Parmer Lane west of F.M. 1325. January 17, 1980 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS CRAIG PARDUE, who lives in the Austin City limits, addressed Council by saying if the resolution is adopted tonight the problem will be the recommendation will go to the Highway Department on January 23. If this happens, the FM road will be built and there will be no opportunity for flexibility. He said there are two things wrong with the plan. Duval Road runs parallel, south of the Little League Baseball Park. Children, at present, do not have to cross a four lane road to get to the ball park, if the road is built they will have to. It will make a four-lane road running parallel with Duval with a strip of land between. The strip of land was supposed to be developed as homes. He fears the developers will say they will not build homes between two roads and ask to have it zoned commercial. Then it will become another Ben White. He requested Council to let the road develop at its own speed, in its own way, and not pass a resolution to kick in one part of the Master Plan early. Commissioner Honts stated: "I'm here, speaking for the Commissioner's Court of Travis County. Our request to you is to join with Travis County and Williamson County in a presentation to the Highway Commission, not to build a road but to ask them to initiate studies for a route location as an appropriate step toward making this an FM road. The part of Parmer Lane as presently exists from Lamar Boulevard to 1325 was designated by the Highway Department as an FM road on April 25, 1978. The extension west would follow in a line which has been proposed in the Austin Metropolitan Roadway Plan, of which it has been a part since 1963. On October 22, 1979, my office sponsored a meeting and notified every person who had right-of-way in the proposed route, including Mr. Yetts... notified all of the citizen associations who where there and which are effected. At that time a general consensus was achieved, with the exception of Mr. Yetts, of an appropriate routing. Of the 132 acres which would be required for rightof-way, we have at this time every entity's agreement to dedicate free that right-of-way to the City or County, or has agreed to the routing location. Of that total, only 4.89 acres would have to be bought. The rest would be dedicated, withthe exception of Mr. Yetts' property, which is 1.78 acres. He has a right to appear at any hearings and to oppose or support any part of this project. ... If this is built as a City street, you are looking at millions of dollars of taxpayers' money in order to build a major thoroughfare in accordance with your own plan. ... This project does offer an opportunity, if the Highway Commission agrees to assist us, to move quickly in establishing some alternative transportation while the 183 corridor is improved. ... At least two of the three citizens' associations have indicated we will have letters from them in support at the time we go before the Highway Commission on the 23rd. ...I'm just here tonight representing the Commissioners' Court. We didn't notify people of this meeting. We just asked that you consider the recommendation to join us in going before the Highway Commission." Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "If this goes through, like in the Master Plan, would we need to go back some day and think of an aerial bridge for the children to get to and from school?" Commissioner Honts said he did not know. This request is to ask for a detailed route study of the highway. They do have a bonus they do not ordinarily have and that's a commitment of 99% of the rightof-way in writing. ROBERT MCKESSKA, resident of Northwood, wondered why the Council should propose a definite route when no definite route is committed. He suggested Council look at a detailed map before they vote.
