RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL BARRIERS REMOVAL PROGRAM Council had before it for consideration a resolution to authorize to contract for implementation of the Residential Architectural Barriers Removal Program. Mr. Carlos Herrera, Director, Human Services Department, reported as follows: "On February 1, 1980, the Human Services Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the administration of the Architectural Barrier Removal Program. Two proposals were received one from the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Texas, Inc. (UCP) and the other from Austin Redevelopment Authority (ARA) and MIGHT in a joint proposal effort. Each was for $75,000. ARA/MIGHT proposed to remove architectural barrers from 75 units at an average cost of $800/unit and at an administrative cost of $17,900 (24%). UCP proposed to remove architectural barriers from approximately 100 units at an average cost of $660/unit and at an administrative cost of $9,000 (12%). While ARA has a track record with respect to housing rehabilitation programs, and UCP does not, UCP has secured commitments from qualified general contractors and an attorney indicating their interest to participate in the program. Thus, it is our opinion that both contractors can provide the necessary services required for the program. Based upon the higher number of units for a lower administrative cost and the other review criteria specified in the RFP (Request for proposal) package, it is our recommendation that United Cerebral Palsy of Texas, Inc., be awarded the contract to operate the Architectural Barrier Removal Program for one year." _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 28, 1980 JIM CANNON, President of MIGHT, appeared before Council to state that the money should go to MIGHT and ARA jointly to spend because MIGHT represents every type of disability in the city and ARA has construction expertise. MARGARET LEISIK, speaking for MIGHT, said that they want the housing program and will see that it is done right. PATRICIA ANDERSON, United Cerebral Palsy Association of Texas, Inc., said they will work with the general contractors and asked the money be alloted to them. After some discussion, it was decided to hold decision on this for one week and it will be placed on the March 6, 1980 Agenda. ETJ AGREEMENT WITH LAKEWAY Council had before it for consideration approval of Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) Allocation Agreement with the Village of Lakeway. DAVID LANE, resident of the Village of Lakeway, appeared before Council. He felt the Village did not properly notify residents of their intent in this matter, and that the agreement is one-sided for the developer's benefit. Не felt the tax would not be equitable. MAYOR GRIBBLE, Mayor of Lakeway, spoke to Council and said the majority of people do want to be annexed. He said they were duly notified with a public hearing on the ETJ and notices printed in the Austin American-Statesman. Councilmember Goodman thanked Mayor Gribble for his cooperative effort in this matter. Mr. Albert De La Rosa, Assistant City Attorney, distributed copies of the agreement that the Village of Lakeway and the Lakeway Development Company have entered into; together with the proposed Allocation Agreement for the ETJ. He called attention to the two proposed additions to the Agreement which incorporate the agreement made between the Land Company and the Village of Lakeway. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution to approve the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Allocation Agreement with the Village of Lakeway with the two additions. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: None FUNDING AGREEMENT POSTPONED Council had before it two items: February 28, 1980 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. (1) A resolution to consider entering into an agreement to fund the following Community Development Corporations: a. Austin Minority Economic Development Corporation for $156,500.00 b. Austin Community and Economic Development Corporation c. for $100,000.00 National Business League - Austin-Cen-Tex Chapter for Economic Development Activities for $61,081.00 (2) A City Manager Report on East Austin Chicano Economic Development Corporation's Request. Councilmember Trevino asked that these be pulled until the Council has time to make further studies. He said the Robinson Hill study should also come back. Mayor McClellan asked that interested parties be notified. Councilmember Trevino said the funds should be set aside, but that there is no guarantee that the organizations in question will receive them, until after the issues have been studied and discussed. Councilmember Goodman said this should be done in 30 days but if the study is complete before 30 days, the City Manager can enter it on the Agenda. Mr. Carlos Herrera, Director of Human Services, stated he would return within a four-week period with a full assessment of all the four proposals (a, b, and c, and East Austin Chicano Economic Development Corporation) and that money will be set aside, not guaranteed, in the amount as requested per the applicant. Councilmember Cooke said, "So, you'll be comparing each one and giving us a report based on the criteria that was approved by Council two weeks ago." Mr. Herrera answered, "It is our intention to return with a full evaluation, disclosing to you what our findings are and our recommendation on the intent of the proposal and the funding level that we would recommend on each proposal." Mayor McClellan said they wanted the same type of scrutiny and evaluation for each proposal. Councilmember Cooke said, "The reason I wanted to make that clarification is that the memo received yesterday at the request of my February 19th memo suggesting that all proposals be evaluated based on the criteria of community development or economic development corporations and I didn't really aspire to the staff position that the three proposals that were approved two weeks ago did not need to go through that evaluation process. I wanted that to be understood for the record because I think it's important that we took so much time deliberating in the CDC criteria that all proposals whether they had been submitted prior to or after the adoption of the criteria for Economic Development Corporations would all receive the same fair hearing under that criteria." Mr. Herrera told Councilmember Cooke that his department responded to the memo and it is their intention to return with the recommendation as outlined today. He said he had been instructed two weeks ago to return with a contract today. Councilmember Cooke said he understood and appreciated the dilemma Mr. Herrera was in. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Motion February 28, 1980 Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council postpone until March 27, or earlier, consideration of the resolutions to enter into an agreement to fund certain Community Development Corporations, with money set aside, but not guaranteed, in the amounts as requested by the applicant.

J. M. HEINATZ By Eugene Nelson C14-80-001 1901-1903 San Gabriel also bounded by West Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard From "B" Residence To 1st Height and Area "0" Office 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission subject to a site plan plan being approved by the Commission as agreed to by the applicant, and that a restrictive covenant be included prohibiting massage parlors and nude modeling studios. Mr. Lillie reviewed the application by use of slides. MR. EUGENE NELSON, representing the applicant, appeared before Council and stated the property which faces Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard is the only property still zoned residential on the street. He said his client, Mr. Heinatz, has a contract to sell the property if it is zoned so it can be used as a real estate brokerage office. He discussed the history of the decline of the neighborhood and said it is not residential any more. MR. MITCHELL, Co-President of Save University Neighborhoods, appeared to protest the zoning change request. He said one of the best uses of the property is for rental purposes. He said parking at the site, if it becomes a real estate office, would require paving 90% of the property, thereby not allowing preservation of the house. MARK SMITH, co-op resident, said the neighborhood is quiet and more affordable houses are needed for University of Texas students to live in. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 28, 1980 BOB RUSSELL, who works for College House, appeared to speak against the zoning change. He thought it should be left as is so students can rent it. He said there are seven people in the neighborhood who do favor "0" Office, because they want the house fixed up, but he felt "0" is not necessary. BETTY PHILLIPS, past President of SUN, said that "0" is not necessary for profitable use of the neighborhood. She said the neighborhood is already overzoned and hopes the present zoning will remain on the property. RICHARD ARMINTON, member of the Cooperative Council, appeared in opposition to the re-zoning and read a letter from Robert Norris, President of the Cooperative Council. RICK PALMERTON, who lives at 1903 San Gabriel, said that he would have to move if the zoning change is granted. He discussed an absentee landowner who does not want to improve the property. Mr. Nelson returned to state the property has been in the same family for 50 years. The low rents charged to the students do not pay for mortgage and taxes. He said a site plan would be worked out and there is not a lot of traffic for a brokerage firm. Councilmember Goodman questioned Mr. Nelson about the proposed plans for the building. Mr. Nelson said the front structure would remain and be renovated. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Mullen moved that the Council grant "0" Office, 1st Height and Area District, subject to conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Mayor McClellan. Friendly Amendment Not Accepted Councilmember Goodman offered a friendly amendment to eliminate curb cuts on Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard. It was not accepted.

LEWIS MILLER C14p-79-039 Special Permit 135 South 1st Street Restaurant and Executive Offices Existing zoning: "L" Lake, 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission as recommended by the staff including the Parks and Recreation Board and Environment Board. Mr. Lillie reviewed the application by use of slides. The site is to be used for a restaurant. Councilmember Himmelblau was concerned about the ingress and egress. MR.

Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council grant the Special Permit to allow Restaurant and Executive Offices, as recommended by the Planning Commission subject to site plan coming back to Council.

Mr. Lillie reviewed the application by use of slides. He said it is at the ends of the City limits and is partially within the Rollingwood ETJ (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction). Councilmember Himmelblau said the zoning does not bother her, "It's the contract that we made to serve this tract of land with wastewater, I believe, and I'm wondering, with the change that was presented today and what we approved several months ago if that contract would not be invalid." Mr. Albert De La Rosa, Assistant City Attorney, stated: "When the proposal came before City Council to provide the wastewater service to this tract of land, it was presented to us as a commercial development. There were several references in a letter from the attorney, Don Bird, at the time that this would be developed as a commercial tract of land. That contract does not specify how the land was to be developed, however, we indicated to Council what the proposal was back in the summer. If the Council would like us to review that contract to see whether or not it changes and report back we will do so." Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I would and I'd like to see if there is a change in capacity that is going to be required."
_ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 28, 1980 Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council postpone the decision on the zoning case until March 6, 1980 at 9:45 a.m., and ask that the City Manager bring back a report on contractual service for sewer service.

Mr. John German, Director of Public Works, reminded Council that this street vacation had first been addressed on December 13, 1979 and Mr. Noton of the Austin Redevelopment Authority will address the issue, MR. BOB NOTON, ARA, said that previously the owner of a home on Rosewood thought she would not be able to get in and out of her property, but she has since been shown that she can. The street vacation also has the approval of Holy Cross Church. February 28, 1980 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Councilmember Snell asked if a fence can be provided for the back of the church property to prevent people from dumping trash. Mr. Noton told him that ARA has no funds for a fence. Mr. Jim Miller, Assistant City Manager, stated, "You could instruct them to try to find funds in their budget to do it and if they can't they will just have to come back to City Council." Motion Councilmember Snell moved that the Council pass an ordinance to vacate Gregory Street from cul-de-sac westerly to Comal Street and Comal Street from Rosewood Avenue to East Eleventh Street; with the stipulation that ARA respond to the request for a fence. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. More conversation ensued regarding the length of the fence, how much it would cost, etc. Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE PERPETUALLY CLOSING, ABANDONING AND VACATING A PORTION OF GREGORY STREET FROM ITS CUL-DE-SAC WESTERLY TO COMAL STREET AND PERPETUALLY CLOSING, ABANDONING, AND VACATING A PORTION OF COMAL STREET FROM EAST ELEVENTH STREET TO ROSEWOOD AVENUE IN CONNECTION WITH URBAN RENEWAL PLAN IMPROVEMENTS BY AUSTIN REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN THE BLACKSHEAR AREA PROGRAM; VACATING AND ABANDONING SAID PORTIONS OF SAID PUBLIC STREETS TO THE ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS THEREON, FINDING FAIR MARKET VALUE QUID PRO QUO IN RELIEF OF THE CITY FROM ALL FUTURE COSTS AND POTENTIAL LIABILITIES ARISING, OR TO ARISE, FROM CONTINUATION OF ANY CITY TITLE OR INTEREST THEREIN AS PUBLIC WAYS OR PUBLIC PROPERTIES; RESERVING, HOWEVER, IN SAID PORTIONS COMPLETE PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENTS IN, UPON, OVER, UNDER AND ACROSS SAID PORTIONS; SUSPENDING THE ORDINANCE READINGS RULES AND THUS EFFECTIVELY ENACTING THIS THE DAY OF INTRODUCTION; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Snell Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. MEMBERSHIP REDUCTION TWO COMMISSIONS - Council had before it for consideration an ordinance reducing the membership of the following boards and commissions: Human Relations Commission Library Commission. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 28, 1980 Councilmember Himmelblau said she really thinks the large boards and commissions should be pared down. The Planning Commission, which probably does the most work for the City, stands at nine. She feels it is detrimental to the board or commission to become too large. Mayor McClellan said Council had discussed the Human Relations Commission and decided not to take anyone off, but to do it by attrition. There is one vacancy and one person who is not re-applying so Council is reducing it from 15 to 13. JOHN DARROUZET, Chairperson, Human Relations Commission, requested that they be allowed to remain 15 members. He said it would be a strain to accomplish their goals with fewer members. The Mayor said she thought 13 is still too large. At this point she announced that there is a vacancy on the Human Relations Commission which should be filled on an emergency basis. That is for the mobility impaired member. Mayor McClellan went on to say the Library Commission will have one member expire by attrition, and that will make the size of the Commission nine members. Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance, reducing the membership of the Human Relations Commission to 13. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Trevino Noes: Councilmember Snell The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance, reducing the membership of the Library Commission to 9 members. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: =CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS February 28, 1980 Main: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Trevino Noes: Councilmember Snell The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. WATER AND WASTEWATER APPROACH ΜΑΙΝ Council had before it for approval the following Wastewater Approach DON BECKER BUILDERS INCORPORATED, owner Water and wastewater approach mains for Texas Oaks Subdivision. City cost based on low bid received will be approximately $11,668.70 outside the City or $42,873.44 if annexed in one year. Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I want to make sure what the City will be called for in reimbursement if we are going from the date of 1978 when we first looked at it or if we are going from February, 1980." Albert De La Rosa, attorney for the City, "I can answer for the date part of it. The line was approved in December, 1978, and we will be using that date for the annexation, so they have not been annexed in that one year period of time." Councilmember Himmelblau asked if we will be paying the lower figure. Mr. Curtis Johnson, Director of Water and Wastewater, stated, "Yes, it will be the lower figure. You might note on the support material it indicated that because it was not annexed within the one year period there would be no participation in the wastewater approach main and approximately $11,600.00 on water." Councilmember Himmelblau asked that these two remarks be read into the record. Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution to approve the wastewater approach main for Don Becker Builders Incorporated, water and wastewater approach mains for Texas Oaks Subdivision. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell City cost based on low bid received will be approximately $11,668.70 outside the city or $42,873.44 if annexed in one year. February 28, 1980 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM Mayor Pro Tem Mullen moved that the Council adopt a resolution to select Value Engineering Services in connection with the proposed Onion Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and Onion Creek Wastewater Interceptor Improvements, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM NO. 73/59-09. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell None Before the vote was taken, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen asked why this was being done now. Mr. Al Eldridge, Director, Office of Facilities Planning and Construction, said, "The EPA grant application requires having Value Engineering to review the early planning and then come back at the time the plans are 75% complete and review it again. The general approach is sharpened, refined in the early stages and by the time the plans are virtually completed, then they define the details so it is most cost effective. ... The cost is $20,000,000 for the plant and about the same for the interceptor. The fee is about $40,000 for the plant and about $50,000 for the interceptor. The experience across the country indicates a cost saving of a ratio about 25-1. Every dollar you spend on this you save about $25.00." Mayor Pro Tem Mullen said he would like to know how much the fee comes down. Mr. Eldridge said he would be kept advised. JUSTICE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1979 Mayor McClellan introduced an Item from Council concerning options available under Justice System Improvement Act of 1979. GENE DRAPER, Planning Coordinator, Austin Criminal Justice Planning Unit, ... appeared before Council to state, "Congress recently passed some continuing legislation for what used to be called the Omnibus Crime Control Act. They have changed the name of it to Justice Systems Improvement Act and they are changing the way the funds can be administered. It is based on entitlement jurisdictions based on population. Austin can become an entitlement jurisdiction. You will receive a formula allocation of criminal justice money. A small amount of money in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it is important to the Criminal Justice Agencies both in the city and in the county. The option is that the City could go entitlement on itself, by itself; the County could go entitlement by itself, or go in together as they have for the past seven years. They can select to turn down entitlement or combine with CAPCO in one large entitlement." CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS February 28, 1980 Mayor McClellan suggested, "We ought to participate under Option 1 in a combination entitlement jurisdiction which would continue our current...." Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council approve Option 1, Combination Entitlement Jurisdiction, under Justice System Improvement Act of 1979. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 12:00 Noon and resumed its recessed meeting at 2:20 P.M. PAVING ASSESSMENTS RIVERSIDE DRIVE - Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 2:00 P.M. in connection with assessment to be levied on Riverside Drive covering approximately 19-1/2 blocks; and passage of Ordinance, Capital Improvements Program 73-62-03. Mr. John German announced that these paving hearings were a continuation from May, 1979 when it was decided to study these five properties further. The studies have been made and reassessments concluded. Mr. James Riggs, Assistant City Attorney, called Council's attention to his memo of February 28, 1980, recommending that there be no assessment against Parcel 1. At this point, Mr. Riggs questioned Mr. Tom Wiley, appraiser, concerning his qualifications as an appraiser. EFI. Mr. German stated there would be no assessment of Parcel 1, owned by MR. DONALD DUMAS, representing Parcel 4, told Council he was not prepared for a hearing as Mr. Wilmont has not been in his office and asked for a continuance until Mr. Wilmont is back. He said he would waive notice. Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the on Parcel 4 on March 13, 1980 at 2:00 P.M. Tem Mullen, carried by the following vote: Council continue the public hearing The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 28, 1980 Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None MR. C. L. REEVES, owner of Parcels 7, 8, and 9, discussed past history concerning his property and agreements made with the Planning Department in 1969. He gave the City 230 feet of right-of-way at that time with the understanding that if the City decided where they would put the road, then they would put in the curb and gutter for Mr. Reeves. He received no money for the right of way. He said now the City wants $10,000 for curb and gutter and if the City will pay him for the right of way he gave 11 years ago, he will pay for curb and gutter, but thought the City should stick to its agreement of 1969. He said there is absence of proof in the records of the City and in his records. Councilmember Goodman asked for an explanation concerning the change in policies of right of way acquisition, and payment, and what explanation there is about Mr. Reeves complaint of not being paid for the right of way. Mr. German stated, "Basically what Mr. Reeves has indicated relative to the street changing from an expressway to a major arterial, those are all accurate statements. In November of 1972 Mr. Reeves and the City did enter into an agreement regarding right-of-way. He agreed to dedicate a certain amount of right-of-way and the City agreed to vacate a certain amount of right-of-way until such time as we completed the project. We're still pending that action. We have documentation and this was included, I think, in an earlier packet that went to Council on this subject. You may not have had it in this more recent packet. All of the supporting documents, including correspondence between the City and the Highway Department, and between the City and Mr. Reeves is included in that packet. It was agreed that in exchange for the right-of-way he dedicated that we would vacate some right-of-way in the intersection. We still intend to do that and live up to that part of the agreement. That in effect was the trade that was made as opposed to trading out for any paving improvements. At least as far as we can tell." Mr. Reeves said, "We're talking about two years' separation in time and two separate deals. The deal that I made for the payment of the curb was either in late 1969 or early 1970. It had absolutely nothing to do with the intersection of Willow Creek Drive and Riverside Drive. I didn't even own that property at that time. It belonged to Mr. C. B. Smith and I bought it later. Mr. Morahan came to me strictly in relation to the intersection of Willow Creek Drive and Riverside Drive and a small sliver of right-of-way that was in addition to what our agreement already covered." Mr. Davidson, City Manager, told Council that Mr. German did not intend to imply that the 1972 agreement would wipe out all other agreements on Riverside Drive. He said the staff had tried to find documentation and has been unable to. He went on to say that prior to 1969 the practice described by Mr. Reeves was used to get right-of-way and that he was part of the reason the City stopped trading indefinite commitments for land. Mr. Reeves said he can furnish circumstantial evidence. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Motion February 28, 1980 Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council continue the public hearing on Parcels 7, 8, and 9 on March 13, 1980 at 2:00 P.M.

ASSISTANCE WITH AIRPORT LOCATION DECISION MR. ARNOLD HAMMONS appeared before Council to discuss assistance to the airport location assistance. As a former pilot instructor, he questioned whether the airport is safe and if it will be serviceable 20 years from now. He offered his services, free of charge, to help Council decide whether or not the airport is safe from a pilot's standpoint. He said he has already discussed this with Councilmember Snell, and he suggested Mr. Hammons talk with Council. Councilmember Himmelblau thanked him for appearing and said she is interested in talking with him. Councilmember Goodman stated he shares Mr. Hammons' concerns. POLITICAL MATTERS DISCUSSED MR. BUD FLYNN appeared before Council to discuss political matters. He apologized for previously saying north Austin would turn into slums and that "Austin isn't Boston." He also discussed the Olympics; gas-a-hol; Afghanistan; Jerry Brown; his departure for California on March 12; the fact that airport problems could be solved with a monorail from Austin to the San Antonio Airport; and the Bud Flynn-Barbara Jordan presidential campaign. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS ROUND-UP February 28, 1980 Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council approve the request of MR. JAY BECKMAN, Round-Up Committee Chairman, Kappa Alpha Fraternity-University of Texas, to sell beer and barbecue at Fiesta Gardens on March 20, 1980 between 6:00 p.m. and 12:00 midnight, also approval for sound permit for live music. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino Noes: None G.O.P. PRIMARY Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council approve the request of MR. HERBERT M. CARR, JR., Chairman, Travis County Republican Party Primary, to use Ullrich Water Treatment Plant, Austin Recreation Center and the Fire Station located on Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard, Saturday, May 3, 1980 from 6:00 A.M. to approximately 9:00 P.M. to conduct the 1980 G.O.P. primary. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None REGULATION OF SEX-RELATED BUSINESSES MR. JERRY CREAGH and DR. EMMA LOU LINN appeared before Council to discuss regulation of sex-related businesses on East 6th Street. Mr. Creagh told Council that East 6th Street will lose its historical flavor because it is becoming the center for porno and prostitution. He said there are six sex shops on East 6th now. Mr. Creagh asked the City Council to ask its legal staff to consider a Special Use District Ordinance for East 6th Street to prohibit additional sex-related businesses on the street. The boundaries would be I.Η. 35 to the east, Congress Avenue to the west, with the alley lines for the north and south boundaries. The owners and residents, through the Old Pecan Street Association, are trying to encourage uses more oriented to the general public and with the Council's help an area can be established where the city and all of its residents can find pride. Mayor McClellan said she has already asked Mr. Harris, City Attorney, to look into a Special Use District. Mr. Harris reported as follows, "We have looked at it and the request is basically a zoning ordinance for that area, or perhaps the Council would like to consider it city-wide for some sort of ordinance that would regulate the density of this type of business. That type of regulation has been approved by the Supreme Court of the United States and now there is a specific Texas statute that allows the City Council to adopt ordinances where certain types of businesses cannot be located within 500 feet or 1000 feet of each other and that thereby controls the density and keeps an area from being saturated with that type of business. We will be pleased, at the Council's direction, to study that from the standpoint of applying it to a Special Use District in this particular part of town and further maybe commenting - CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS February 28, 1980 on the applicability of such regulations city-wide so that those type businesses, if it's the Council's decision, would not be heavily bunched in any area of town. ... I think this would be a zoning type ordinance, but there may be some other options." Councilmember Cooke said he thought this type of request is appropriate. Councilmember Himmelblau wondered if the ordinance could be retroactive. Mr. Harris said he does not think so. PARADE PERMIT Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council approve the following, with waiver of fee: "Mr. Robert Sneed, President, and Mr. Frank A Newsom, Parade Committee Chairman, representing the Austin Travis County Livestock Show, requesting 1) an amendment to a Parade Permit approved by the City Council on January 17, 1980, to allow the March 15, 1980, parade to utilize the east bound traffic lanes of Riverside Drive and Bouldin Avenue, from Barton Springs Road to Riverside Drive beginning at 12:30 p.m. for a parade assembly area and at 2:00p.m. travel north across the South First Street Bridge and utilize two traffic lanes of Lavaca to 11th Street, west on 11th Street to Congress, south on Congress to 2nd Street, west on 2nd Street to Guadalupe, south on Guadalupe, cross the South First Street Bridge and return to the Auditorium area; and utilize the one-half block area of East 7th Street from Congress Avenue to the alley from 12 noon until conclusion of the parade; and 2) the waiving of all fees associated with eliminating on-street parking on Congress Avenue between 5th and 11th Streets on March 15 for the parade." The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Goodman EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor McClellan announced that Council will convene in a closed or executive session authorized by Section 2, Paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of Article 6252-17, Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated; and after such closed or executive session, any final action, decision or vote with regard to any matter considered in the closed or executive session will be made in open session, should such action, decision or vote be necessary. RECESS Council recessed for their Executive Session at 3:35 p.m. and resumed their recessed meeting at 4:00 p.m. February 28, 1980 -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. BOARD AND COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council make the following board and commission appointments: Board of Adjustment Peter Pincoff, Debbie Shelton, Lester Gegenheimer, and Frank Jackson, terms to expire January 1, 1982. Police Retirement Board Evelyn McKee The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Noes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Mayor Pro Tem Mullen Appointments to be Made Mayor McClellan announced the following board and commission appointments will be made March 6, 1980: On-Going of Goals Assembly - 1 Building Standards Commission 1 Community Health Advisory Committee Dental Health Advisory Committee Human Relations Commission 6 - 9 1 Environmental Board 1 SIGN COMMITTEE REPORT MS. JOYCE KLEIN, Vice-Chairman of the Sign Committee, appeared before Council to request an amendment to Chapter 3 of the Austin City Code to provide for sign regulations for Highway 620, Loop 360 and MoPac. She said it is time to set standards now. She said they have developed the following criteria: 1. No off-premise signs within 200 feet of the right-of-way. 2. No on-premise signs within 200 feet except as follows: a. Sign is placed flatwise against the building, not to exceed 70% of one-third of the facade of the building. b. No sign shall extend above the roof line. c. No flashing signs.
February 28, 1980 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Councilmember Himmelblau said that now the City has annexed the area on FM 2222, it should be included in the same sign regulations as are scheduled for 620, 360 and MoPac. Ms. Klein said they would be receptive to that. Mrs. Himmelblau asked the City Attorney, "Can this be brought back in ordinance form by next week or no later than two weeks?" Mr. De La Rosa said it would be an amendment to the existing ordinance and it can be brought back to Council. Councilmember Himmelblau also asked, "We have talked about making this retroactive on some of the pole signs with a 2-5 year phase out. Is this a legal possibility?" Mr. De La Rosa said he would have to look back at the roll back provision to see how it can be eliminated during a period of time. He said he would report back to Council concerning that provision too. He said the specific controls asked for today in Ms. Klein's report can be brought back to Council next week. He continued, "When we bring back the suggested controls we can amend the ordinance as well to include that portion of 2222 within the city limits. Is that the intent of the Council?" Councilmember Himmelblau said she would like to see it on next week's agenda to include it in the moratorium until we have everything else ironed out." Councilmember Goodman said he has some questions concerning the east side of I.H. 35. He asked what the status is because several months ago Council had instructed the Planning Commission to consider the same control on the east side of I.H. 35 that are being considered for the west side. Mr. Lillie stated the report has not yet been done. Mr. Lonnie Davis, Director, Building Department, said that was brought to the Sign Committee's attention, but their immediate concern has been 360, 620 and 2222 and MoPac. Councilmembers Snell and Trevino both stated they want attention paid to the east side of I.H. 35. JEAN MATHER, member of the Sign Committee, said the fault was the committee's. They have not met for a long time, they do feel the east side of I.H. 35 should be included, and said they will meet next Tuesday. Mr. Lillie told Council that the Planning Commission, Tuesday night, reviewed the recommendations of the Sign Committee. MR. BOB MILLER, member of the Sign Committee, said he was concerned about the total absence of free standing signs. He said he would hate to see people chopping down trees so the public could see the face of buildings to read their signs. He also objected to the change in wording of the amendment from 200 feet from the main traveled way, to 200 feet from the right-of-way. He said "right-of-way" becomes very ambiguous. There is really no way to define that, but main travelled way can be defined. He said he is particularly interested in seeing signage controlled from 35th Street South on MoPac. MIGUEL GUERRERA, Chairman of the Planning Commission, appeared before Council to say they want to go on record as endorsing the recommendation of the Sign Committee and want the east side of IH 35 included. They think that perhaps a maximum size of 50 square feet should also be included. MR. DE LA ROSA said, "Council, this will come back to you next week as an amendment to Section 3-5(h), and it will also extend these controls to 2222." Councilmember Himmelblau expressed her thanks to all who have worked on the amendments to the Sign Ordinance. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS LAKE AUSTIN GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN February 28, 1980 MR. MIGUEL GUERRERA, Chairman of the Planning Commission, presented the following report on their recommendations on the Lake Austin Growth Management Plan: "The Planning Commission is pleased to resubmit its Report on the implementation of the Lake Austin Growth Management Plan to you for presentation to the City Council. The report was jointly developed by a Planning Commission Committee and an ad hoc board of interested citizens during the spring and summer of 1978 in order to achieve the City Council goal 'to review and adopt the Lake Austin Master Plan.' The Commission unanimously approved the report on July 25, 1978. Concurrent with the approval of the report, the Commission also resolved to recognize the ad hoc citizens committee that helped draft it: Brad Coleman, Don Carlton, Charles Croslin, Gary Bradley, Roy Bechtol and Ralph Stansberry. Shortly thereafter, the City staff submitted a proposed revision of Section II of the report, concerning a water quality monitoring program. The proposed revision emphasized that the City staff, rather than a private consulting firm, should design and administer the program. The City Council received the report during its meeting on October 19, 1978, but postponed action until comments were obtained from the Urban Transportation Commission, Parks and Recreation Board and the Water and Wastewater Department. This request was in response to public criticism that the report avoided addressing recommendations concerning roadways and parks. This review and comment process was not complete until the spring of last year. At that time, reconsideration by the Commission was postponed because of the involvement with the process of writing amendments to the Lake Austin interim ordinances. The Planning Commission submits this revised text of the report in compliance with the directives of the City Council. The following changes have been made to the original report passed by the Commission: 1. The staff revision of Section II was substituted for the original Section II. 2. All additions to the report that were recommended by the Parks and Recreation Board, the Urban Transportation Commission and the Environmental Board have been incorporated in the text. The comments from these boards and commissions are attached to this transmittal. 3. The preamble to the report was modified, as suggested by members of the City Council. • _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 28, 1980 In addition to the three City boards above, the Water and Wastewater Department also submitted comments, and these too are attached. These comments are based on the precept that all private water and wastewater systems should be discouraged and that City of Austin water and wastewater service should be fully provided to all areas in the Lake Austin watershed. The Water and Wastewater Department also maintained that re-assessment of the Camp Dresser and McKee master water system plan is unnecessary. The Water and Wastewater Department comments are major policy considerations which we have duly considered. However, we have determined that these comments are inconsistent with the report developed by the ad hoc citizens committee, the Planning Commission and the three other boards of the City of Austin, with the basic philosophy of the Lake Austin Growth Management Plan, and with the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the City Council has more recently adopted a wastewater package treatment plant policy and amendments to the septic tank ordinance. Both of these provide for the improved use of private systems in a manner that would mitigate water quality impacts. These new Council policies, plus the decision to re-evaluate the Camp Dresser and McKee water plan, support the recommendations as stated in the report.
