I have no problems with the request. But I do have some concern about superceding the Social Policy Advisory Committee and HSRT and I think the County also has some _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 ... concern about us doing that. What I would like for us to do is instruct them not to come back this way again, that they come back through the proper procedure. If they come back next year, they should go through HSRT and SPAK like everybody else." Councilmember Himmelblau said, "Those are my concerns, too, because it throws it out of sync with the rest of our grants." J. B. BRANDON, Executive Director of Child and Family Service told Council they came to them on this basis because their solicitation to the Electric Utility Department as one of the creditors in town along with Southwestern Bell, and Southern Union Gas who are also utility creditors.

At a Council Meeting vote to have the City Manager and the City Attorney interview all or some of the applicants and report back with recommendations. b.

(This, she said, would prevent conflict of interest.) The motion was seconded by Councilmember Cooke. Councilmember Goodman said he favors Options 1, 4 and 2 because he thought they place a greater responsibility on the Council to acquaint themselves with who the lobbyist will be and then actually select the lobbyist without going through a filtering process. Mayor McClellan pointed out "obviously, we want to hire a lobbyist who can not only work with our delegation but work effectively in the Capitol... both of those things will be scrutinized very carefully before we hire someone." Councilmember Mullen said, "That's the reason I don't even think we need one. I think the job the Senate or the House of Representatives took on when they were elected...and Austin is small enough so we do not need a lobbyist...." • =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 Substitute Motion Councilmember Goodman made a substitute motion to adopt Option 4: a.

The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino Noes: Councilmember Mullen June 12, 1980 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS PARKLAND ACQUISITION SERVICES Mr. Daron Butler, Assistant City Manager, reported on the Parkland Acquisition Services as follows, referring to the outline which is on file in the City Clerk's office. "The City Council and City voters have authorized an extensive land acquisition program for park purposes. Successful completion of this agenda requires an innovative approach to land acquisition. "The recommended approach involves the selection of private sector professional services to identify suitable parcels of land and prepare all the documentation leading to a recommendation to purchase. The attached outline specifies the details of the consultant services. "The Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments recommend this approach to shorten the time required for parkland acquisition. "I suggest that we submit this to the City Council for review and action because it represents a change in existing land acquisition practices." After a few questions by Council the following motion was made: Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council approve the instrumentation of the process for parkland acquisition services, with information to be brought before Council as it is acquired. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None PUBLIC WORKS PARTICIPATION POLICIES Mr. John German, Director of Public Works, presented the following report on Public Works Participation Policies. "You requested additional information regarding the impact of the proposed participation policy for boundary streets and arterials passing through new subdivisions. "First, let me address the question of why this policy is more advantageous than simply using the assessment paving procedure. There are many limitations with the assessment process. Numerous state laws prevail, several ordinances and hearings must be held, and persons may appeal an assessment for many different reasons. There are limits in how much can be assessed, and the City must prove enhancement. This process also requires the City to finance a project initially with assessments being paid as much as ten years later. Considerable amount of staff time, as well as City Council time is required. June 12, 1980 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS "In using the assessment process, a major discrepancy occurs when a subdivision is developed and lots are designed to side onto the street or even to have the rear of the lot abutting the street. For example, the current assessment rate for undeveloped residential property is $17.40 per front foot, but the rate for an owner-occupied residential lot is only $9.55. The City, therefore, loses $7.85 per front foot if the paving occurs after subdivision development occurs. In addition, side or rear lots are assessed at 50% of $9.55 or $4.78 per front foot. In cases where access is denied, there is no assessment. This occurs frequently in the case of rear lots. When the paving occurs prior to development, the assessment is levied against developers or builders, and therefore, passed on to all the home buyers in a subdivision, instead of just those that happen to buy property abutting the streets. For most home buyers, the extra cost is included in their home cost and financed with the house, rather than being an out-of-pocket cost after they move in. "You asked for examples of where this policy would have benefited the City. The best example is Duval Road in far north Austin. Within the past three years, the residential development in the area has been substantial. In reviewing plats, the Planning Commission initially required that the developer build Duval Road to City standards. However, this was later varied after the developer made a case for the inequity of the requirement for him to pay the entire cost for the street. Since the City had no participation policy and no funds in the CIP (Capital Improvements Program) for the project, the City had no choice but to void the paving requirements. Therefore, the developer did not pay any of the development costs for Duval Road. "Now the area is almost fully developed. The estimated cost to upgrade the street from a two-lane country road to an urban collector is $2,107,000. Less than 10% of this cost can be recovered through the after-the-fact assessment process, whereas as much as 50% would have been recovered if the proposed participation policy had been utilized. Now the burden of the assessments will fall on a small group of residents abutting Duval Road and all of the existing taxpayers in Austin. "Because of the fact that Duval Road is the only convenient street into the area, and connects the area with FM 1325 (Burnet Road) and U.S. 183, it must be improved. It has been given a high priority in the upcoming CIP. There are many other areas where similar problems are occurring. The City is presently almost helpless to resolve this type of problem. Approval of the participation policy and the subsequent funding in the CIP will allow the City and developers to jointly solve the problems mentioned above in a timely, cost effective manner." Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving the Public Works Participation Policies. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Noes: Councilmember Cooke None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Himmelblau CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 AUSTIN SKI CLUB LICENSE AGREEMENT Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council approve the renewal of a License Agreement for the Austin Ski Club to permit the placement of four water slalom courses on Lake Austin. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: None "INFINITY OF LIFE" SCULPTURE Council considered the Parks and Recreation Board report on Placement of the "Infinity of Life" sculpture in Republic Square. Councilmember Himmelblau asked about the size of it. She said, "It's 36 feet by 36 feet. That's twice the size of one of our Council offices. It's enormous. Why Republic Square when it is one of the smallest parks we have?" Mr. Leonard Ehrler, Director of Parks and Recreation, showed slides of the proposed sculpture and reported as follows: "The Parks and Recreation Board at its regularly scheduled meeting held Tuesday, April 22, 1980, again reviewed the request from the Austin Contemporary Visual Arts Association to place the "Infinity of Life" sculpture in Republic Square in lieu of a fountain. The Board, at its meeting held January 22, 1980, reviewed the request and directed Parks and Recreation Department staff to work with representatives from A.C.V.A.A. to determine whether or not the sculpture could be fitted into the overall development plans for Republic Square and bring a proposal back to the Board for final review. "In the discussion, Mr. Coffee recommended that the work to be done underneath the sculpture consisting of a brick ring, a sloping concrete slab that can be washed off, and fill material, at a cost of approximately $21,000 be included in the 1981-1982 Parks and Recreation Department Capital Improvements Program. Austin Contemporary Visual Arts Association will raise funds in the amount of approximately $20,000 to pay for the construction of the sculpture. "It was pointed out that the 1981-1982 Capital Improvements Program is not funded and would have to be a part of the next bond package for approval by the Planning Commission, City Council and the voters of Austin. There was discussion concerning the possibility of not using public funds for the project. After further discussion, it was moved by Mr. Bray and seconded by Mr. Coffee, that the Parks and Recreation Board recommend approval of the construction and placement of the "Infinity of Life" sculpture in Republic Square and that funds for the construction of the sculpture be paid for by the Austin Contemporary Visual Arts Association, and should A.C.V.A.A. be able to raise the entire amount of approximately $42,000 before the normal process of approval of the proposed Parks and Recreation C.I.P. for 1981-1982, which will include funds for the development of Republic Square, that they be allowed to proceed with completion of the project.

ARMADILLO By Bill Rallis C14h-80-016 525 Barton Springs Road From "C-2" Commercial 2nd Height and Area Το "C-2-H" Commercial-Historic 2nd Height and Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 26, 1980 Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council uphold the recommendation of the Planning Commission and DENY the zoning change. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino Noes: None Abstain: Councilmember Goodman The Mayor announced that the zoning case had been DENIED. (Hearing follows) Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, reviewed both applications by use of slides. He pointed out the Armadillo building was constructed in 1950 and was first used as the Armadillo World Headquarters in 1970. MR. BILL RALLIS, representing the Armadillo World Headquarters, told Council that is was the birthplace of country rock and has an international reputation. He requested historic zoning. ROBERT SNEED, representing the Hage family, told Council the family wants the zoning change so the prospective buyer can build a hotel, parking garage and shops on the site. (Hotel is to be part of the Radisson chain.) BILL BINGHAM explained the model of the proposed hotel which was on display. SAM PERRY, representing the Hage family, spoke in opposition to "H" Historic zoning because the building has no historic nor architectural significance. DAVID RICHARDS spoke in opposition to the zoning request for a change in height. He said they do not want tall buildings in South Austin. A man who did not identify himself said the Neighborhood Council is opposed to a hotel because it will cause more traffic in the area. CASS HOOK spoke in favor of historic zoning so the music industry will not be infringed upon. CHARLIE FORD told Council he is a real estate agent who is for quality growth and said a hotel on the site would depreciate the neighborhood. He said the hotel would be of no value to Austinites because they will not stay at the hotel. DAVID BLOCK, Zilker Posse, opposed the zoning change. He said it would be a threat to Zilker Park. PHYLLIS BRINKLEY appeared before Council to read a statement from Margaret Gomez, aide to Richard Moya. It said she preferred to keep the neighborhood residential and spoke against the hotel. MARILYN SIMPSON, Austin Neighborhood Council, opposed the zoning change. =CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS June 26, 1980 FLETCHER CLARK, resident of South Austin, opposed the zoning change. BRUCE TRUETT, Austin Federation of Musicians, spoke in favor of historic zoning on the grounds the Armadillo is the shrine of the fertile age of music in America. A man who did not identify himself spoke in favor of historic zoning. TROOPER KEETON spoke in favor of historic zoning. CONNIE MOORE asked Council to deny the zoning change until the Hyatt is built so they can see what the effect of traffic, etc., will be. JOHN REED and LINDSEY HASLY sang a song favoring Armadillo. WAYNE GRONQUIST, South River City Citizens, spoke against the change in height request and asked for a commitment to his neighborhood to keep Riverside Drive a minor arterial road. ARI WRIGHT, Austinites for Urban Transportation, spoke against hotels in the core area. PHIL CONARD wants all development downtown postponed until the citizens present an overall plan for downtown. A man who did not identify himself spoke in favor of historic zoning. JIM KILPATRICK spoke in favor of historic zoning; also KEITH BARGES. JOE RIDDELL, DOROTHY RICHTER, MIKE SHIELMAN, and PALMER DUDLEY, spoke against the zoning change. Mayor McClellan asked Chief Loflin of the Austin Fire Department to address fire protection for a high rise building. Chief Loflin said the fire protection can be addressed in two ways: 1) proper equipment and 2) fire codes adhered to in the building of the structure. Bill Rallis returned to the podium to sum up his plea for historic zoning. He said this is history now, in the making, and to wait 50 years for recognition of an historic event will be too late. ROBERT SNEED, representing the Hage family, returned to sum his plea for the zoning change. Councilmember Cooke pointed out that traffic at the Armadillo is already a problem; there is no problem with the visual corridor if the Radisson is built on the site. He said the bed tax does give revenue to the people of Austin. He said if Council denies the additional height request, then two motel towers can be built. He said the School for the Deaf is working with the developers and there will be more green belt with one structure than with two. Councilmember Cooke cited the fact the laws concerning fire protection are in the book, and there should be no problem. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 26, 1980 The motions were then made concerning the zoning requests as recorded at the beginning of this discussion.

PALM SCHOOL By Austin Inde- pendent School District C14h-80-015 700-720 East 1st Street From Undesignated Use To "GR-H" General Retail- Historic 2nd Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council accept the finding of fact a, f, h, i, k, l, and m, and grant "GR-H" General Retail-Historic, 2nd Height and Area District, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Noes: Mayor McClellan None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Goodman CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS June 26, 1980 The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "GR-H" General Retail-Historic, 2nd Height and Area District, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance. (Hearing follows) Mr. Lillie reviewed the application by stating, "You recall last month the Council had on their Agenda the zoning for the Palm School tract...A.I.S.D. tract on which Palm School is located. And, last month, at the request of Mr. Hernandez and agreed to by Mr. Armbrust the case was postponed until this week to allow the zoning and historic zoning to be considered at the same time. The zoning request was from an unzoned use to General Retail, 2nd Height and Area. At the Planning Commission there were two other agreements by the applicant. One was that any signs that were placed on the property would be limited to 1st Height and Area, and if the structure is not zoned Historic, that a new building would be built Ist Height and Area." He then reviewed the history of the school. He said the zoning was initiated by the prospective purchaser with no opposition on his part or the School District. Historic zoning has been recommended by both the Landmark Commission and the Planning Commission. BARRY GILLINGWATER, applicant, told Council, "In going through the zoning processes and our entire study of the project, and in working together with the community, we struck an agreement with the East Austin community in putting together an entire program and format and we had a letter agreement which was delivered to all of you this morning. That letter agreement has nothing to do with the zoning. That letter agreement is merely a working relationship between the East Austin community and us as developers." Mayor McClellan asked if he were referencing the June 25, 1980, letter from him to Paul Hernandez. He said he was. Mr. Gillingwater continued, "That has nothing to do with the zoning. What we are here for today is just the zoning and this letter has no regard with the zoning case whatsoever." Mayor McClellan stated, "We ought to clarify that for the record. If you read the letter, you can certainly draw the conclusion that because it closes with 'we in return will support your effort to re-zone and renovate the Palm School property and we understand the use is compatible to the community's desires.' I just think we ought to very clearly let you know that I certainly wouldn't want this to have anything to do with zoning..." morning Councilmember Mullen stated, "As I said this morning when I spoke up against this (when case was read by City Clerk at morning session, Councilmember Mullen requested it be pulled for later discussion) just because Paul Hernandez stands up in front of this Council and wants a two-week delay, and just because he has some supposedly political clout in East Austin, I was very distressed that you or anybody else is going to bow down to him and start making promises for money or anything else. I think if you want to work with the neighborhood group or East Austin, that is commendable and you should do it. There never should be a relationship between getting the zoning and funding an organization under the threat that you are afraid your zoning would be stopped. I don't want this to start in Austin, and I just feel like that is what happened here and I want it very clear for the record that if I vote for this, that you are under absolutely no obligation to do anything for anbody over there except follow the zoning and ordinances that you are supposed to follow for the City." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: June 26, 1980 Mr. Gillingwater said, "We accept your challenge 100%. We want the zoning, and want to get it voted on." Councilmember Mullen stated, "I also want it clear that I talked very straight to Paul Hernandez on this as you stood there and hear me and he now understands also that this in no way is to be condoned by the Council, I don't think. They have to stand on their own. deliver letters like this to us any more. delivering letters like this that seem to the zoning since you made promises to the neighborhood group to give them some money." Whatever you do is fine, but do not And I don't want anyone else appear Council says 'okay, you get The motions were then made concerning the zoning requests as recorded at the beginning of this discussion.

JACQUELINE COCKRELL, who lives in the neighborhood, told Council they had been led to believe the median would be left as a greenbelt. It's removal will create more traffic. MR. JOHN JOSEPH, applicant, appeared before Council, and said he understands the neighborhood wanting a green belt, but they do not want to buy the land just to maintain a green belt. He referred to the statement to the Planning Commission (see above) which he feels satisfies the majority of residents. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 26, 1980 Councilmember Mullen expressed concern as to where people can enter the property. He said as it is, people will have to stop in the middle of the street to turn into a business on a heavily traveled road. He said he wants a turn-off included in the site plan, which will be a traffic holding lane. Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council grant "0" Office, 1st Height and Area District, as amended, as recommended by the Planning Commission, subject to conditions (statement above included).

JOHN MEINRATH, representing his client, asked for withdrawal because the Planning Commission could not reach any concensus to develop the property consistent with the zoning applied for. He requested they have an opportunity to go back and re-plan the 40 lots involved and study the feasibility of coming back to the Planning Commission and Council with another zoning plan. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council approve withdrawal. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Snell. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if this had come before them before. Mr. Lillie said this was a different tract. Motion and Second Withdrawn Councilmember Goodman withdrew his motion and Councilmember Snell withdrew his second so they could hear those interested in speaking to the case. LARRY DEUSER, President, Angus Valley Area Neighborhood Association, said there was no indecision on the part of the Planning Commission as to what the appropriate zoning should be. He urged Council to establish permanent "AA" Residence. Councilmember Cooke asked if the plan would be under "AA" or "A". Mr. Meinrath siad it would be a combination. Mayor McClellan pointed out she could not remember when Council has not allowed an applicant to withdraw if he requests same. Councilmember Cooke said he thinks "AA" Residence is the logical zoning for the subdivision and appears to be similar to zoning Council has done previously. Motion Failed - Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council uphold the Planning Commission and grant "AA" Residence, 1st Height and Area District.

JOHN WATSON, representing BWC Associates, showed slides.

MILLER, half owner of the Dupre Building (and the Palm-Kerby Building), told Council that these are not the type of buildings that can be restored or needs to be restored because of their lack of historical significance.

PUBLIC HEARING ON CHANGES IN BLACKSHEAR URBAN RENEWAL PLAN Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on changes in the Blackshear Urban Renewal Plan to extend Gregory Street from Leona Street eastward to Salina Street and allow a forty foot right-of-way rather than a fifty foot right-of-way for Leona Street between Gregory and Rosewood Avenue. MR. BRUCE BELVIN, Austin Redevelopment Authority's Housing Services Director, addressed Council as follows: "We are asking your consideration of amendments to the Blackshear Urban Renewal Plan which was adopted in 1977. The first is the extension of Gregory Street from Leona to Salina. This request has been made through the Austin Independent School District and as a result of Blackshear now being considered a major school in their student transportation planning, it is felt that continuous access around the elementary school is necessary. Therefore, we are requesting the modification of the plan to extend Gregory Street one block from Leona to Salina. There is one residence effected by the plan. The Redevelopment Authority has acquired this property and is presently rehabilitating it. The owner has agreed to relocate to this property =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 26, 1980 when it is completed. So that will be the only displacement that will occur with the opening or extension of the street. "The second issue is a modification to the plan which calls for maintaining a 40 foot right-of-way on Leona Street. Leona as it presently stands is a 40 foot right-of-way. The Urban Renewal plan which was adopted in 1977 calls for a 50 foot right-of-way and what we are asking here is that the plan be amended to reflect that Leona is a 40 foot right-of-way and that reflection be shown in the plan." Councilmember Snell asked some questions. Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council close the public hearing and approve the changes in the Blackshear Urban Renewal Plan to extend Gregory Street from Leona Street eastward to Salina Street and allow a fortyfoot right-of-way rather than a fifty-foot right-of-way for Leona Street between Gregory and Rosewood Avenue.

CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS SALE OF WATER TO ANDERSON MILL June 26, 1980 MR. JAMES VOGT appeared before Council to request authorization for the sale of water to Anderson Mill Estates. After some discussion a motion was made and vote taken. The motion did not receive four votes pro or con so no action was taken. Motion Failed - Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council approve the sale of water to Anderson Mill Estates.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT ORDINANCE JOHN DARROUZET, Chairperson, Austin Human Relations Commission, appeared before Council to discuss the amendment to the Equal Employment Ordinance to provide a new definition of "handicapped person" to encompass both physical and mental impairment. He urged Council's adoption of the amendment. He referred to a letter which had been sent by the City Manager's Office. Councilmember Cooke told him, "I have to call to your attention that at a public hearing on this deliberation it was I who asked this be held for one week, and subsequently held for 30 days, and during that 30 days we instructed the City Manager to send out these letters, so it is Councilmember Lee Cooke you need to be directing that at and not the City Manager. That was my instruction and Council concurred with that request." Mr. Davidson said his office should have sent him a copy of the letter...it was an oversight, but he said he should have received one. The letters Mr. Darrouzet referred to were sent to businesses in the area asking their opinion of the amendment to the Equal Employment Ordinance. Councilmember Cooke explained, "As a businessman in the community, when I heard the public hearing and deliberations and heard no public input from any business people and I know this will impact the business community because I am in the market of trying to employ people and probably have been directly involved in employing over 5,000 Austinites myself... Hearing no public input from business I had to assume one of two things. One, either they weren't fully aware this was going on or they had complete accord with it. In my asking for a one week delay, I approached several businesses to find out if they were even aware of this and most of them were not even aware that the amendment to this particular ordinance was even up. At that time I felt it prudent to make that kind of overture and had I fully understood they might not understand what your Commission was doing, I would have probably asked that the public hearing be continued. And that was the motive behind that and I just want to clarify that for your curiosity." =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 26, 1980. Mr. Darrouzet said he looked forward to better coordination with the City Manager's department. PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD REPORT Mr. Ehrler, Director of Parks and Recreation, reported on the Parks Board recommendation to approve request of the Briston Steel and Iron Works, Inc. (Clearwater Constructors) to place eight (8) temporary support structures in Lake Austin and construct a barge slip in the vicinity of Loop 360 Bridge. He said they are to remain in the water nine months--six months in actual usage and the other three months to install and remove. This is pending approval by the Corps of Engineers. He said the Board recommends approval. Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council approve the request from Briston Steel and Iron Works, Inc. to place eight (8) temporary support structures in Lake Austin and construct a barge slip in the vicinity of Loop 360 Bridge. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Trevino, Cooke Ayes: None Noes: Absent: Councilmember Snell, Mayor McClellan AUSTIN HOUSING AUTHORITY REPORT POSTPONED The Austin Housing Authority Report on the Payment in Lieu of Taxes will be presented at the July 3, 1980 Council meeting. AMENDMENT TO RAINEY STREET MORATORIUM ORDINANCE Council had before it for consideration an amendment to the Rainey Street Moratorium to allow the issuance of a building permit for an application which had been filed with the Building Inspection Department prior to the effective date of the moratorium. MR. GENE MEAN, representing Robert Butler Company, contractors and engineers. He was speaking for PAUL FULLER, President of Capital Bearing, located at 93 Red River. Their request was for a waiver of the ordinance in order to allow Mr. Fuller to build an addition to his property for warehouses. He said the property is zoned Commercial, and they have been working on this since January of this year. There was some question concerning when the proposal went to the City's Board of Adjustment in relation to when the moratorium was passed. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 26, 1980 Motion Failed to Carry Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass an ordinance, amending the Rainey Street Moratorium Ordinance to allow the issuance of a building permit for an application which had been filed with the Building Inspection Department prior to the effective date of the moratorium. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Goodman Noes: Councilmembers Trevino, Cooke, Himmelblau Absent: Councilmember Snell, Mayor McClellan The Mayor announced that no action had been taken, because the motion failed to carry. Mayor Pro Tem Goodman said this can be placed on next week's agenda for action when there is a full Council. ADJOURNMENT Council adjourned it meeting at 5:40 p.m. ATTEST: APPROVED: Crete cellen Grace Monior Mayor City Clerk _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I understand that we have to put in the paving and the stabilizing and base for it and I want to know what those figures are." BILLY CANTELLI, A.C.V.A.A., appeared before Council and said the paving and base are in the CIP budget for about $20,000.00. She said A.C.V.A.A. is to raise $20,000 to place the sculpture, however, if they raise the entire amount of about $42,000 before the normal process of approval of the CIP for 1981-1982, which will include funds for the development of Republic Square, they will be allowed to proceed with completion of the project. Councilmember Himmelblau referred to the fountain which had been originally planned for the park and asked about the funds raised specifically for the fountain. Mr. Ehrler told her the Women in Construction had given money but this year asked to have their money refunded. It amounted to $1,500 and the money was refunded. Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council approve the placement of the "Infinity of Life" sculpture in Republic Square. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: None Abstain: Councilmember Himmelblau PUBLIC HEARING TOWNHOUSE PROJECT - Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 4:00p.m. on an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision from Mr. Bill Clendinning, denying an extension for Special Permit File No. C14p-78-009, a 24-unit townhouse project at 3912-4010 Shoal Creek Boulevard. BILL DAVIDSON, representing the applicant, told Council the best use for the land is townhouses and described the location of the area on Shoal Creek, reminding Council of their decision two years ago to allow the townhouses. Mr. Clendinning had allowed the time of the Special Permit to lapse while making financial arrangements for the project and is now ready to proceed. Councilmember Himmelblau questioned the site plan and the alteration of the driveway. She said the plan had a different appearance when approved by a split vote two years ago. Mr. Clendinning told her the plan had 26 units previously and had been changed to accommodate 24 units. This had changed the driveway. Mr. Lillie appeared and explained the plan and its relationship to the 100-year floodplain. BARBARA ANDERSON, 3905 Jefferson, appeared and said she opposes the extension of the Special Permit and presented a petition to Council which had signatures of all but 8% of the property owners effected. She reviewed what had been done by Council two years ago. Petition not filed with City Clerk. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 LARRY DOLL, 4010 Ridgelea, also appeared in opposition to the Special Permit extension. He asked for a clear definition of the floodplain line. KAREN ANDERSON, speaking for the Rosedale Steering Committee Association, said they are against the building of town homes because it will create a traffic hazard. HELEN HILL, Secretary-Treasurer of the Rosedale Neighborhood Association, said the neighborhood is stable and well developed and wants Shoal Creek to be a minor artery. MARTHA BOYD JEFFERSON described the flood conditions which presently exist and said she feels if there is more building on the banks of Shoal Creek it would cause an erosion problem. She asked Council to uphold the Planning Commission. VICTOR BAEZ, architect, said the townhouses would perch above the neighborhood and destroy the use and character of the district. Councilmember Mullen asked if there is any objection to duplexes. Mr. Baez said there is none. JOHN HRNCIR, 4004 Idlewild, thought the townhouses would remove trees. SYLVIA HENDRICKS, 3907 Jefferson, asked Council not to extend the Special Permit. Her house floods and she is afraid townhouses would create more floods. JIM FERGUSON, 3905 Jefferson, read a letter from a neighbor who is opposed to townhouses. It was from VIRGINIA MICHAEL, Ridgelea Drive. RICHARD POSS, 4105 Jefferson, appeared to oppose the Special Permit. JACKIE BLOCH, West Austin, supports Ridgelea area residents in opposing the permit extension. BARBARA BERRY asked those in the Chamber audience who are opposed to townhouses in this location to stand. BILL DAVIDSON presented closing statements for his client, saying townhouses are separate homes, that the driveway will be moved back to where it was, and there will be no additional run-off into the creek because of the building of townhouses. Councilmember Mullen asked Mr. Lillie if his department recommends approval of the Special Permit. Mr. Lillie said they do because Council had approved the site plan two years ago and had given him no guidelines to say it should not be granted again. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council uphold the Planning Commission's decision denying an extension for Special Permit File No. C14p-78-009 on the following criteria: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Snell, carried by the following vote: _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None Mayor McClellan said, "I would like to read for the record the ones that I am particularly speaking to. They are the traffic, the flooding and the noise and glare. Mr. Clendinning is a fine person with good intentions and I know would have a quality project, but for the record I want to reiterate my opposition to this and we discussed a great deal before..I'm sure we could have that same academic discussion today and I won't go into it in length, but the townhouses versus the detached dwelling development that could occur there anyway and the various advantages and disadvantages. I think if we can very definitely before we can deny the Special Permit on the merits.. I still believe that..and therefore, vote to deny the extension of this permit. I think you are absolutely right, too, Bill, when you speak of the emotion on this particularly because it is a very environmentally sensitive area in the creek area and that in Austin, Texas, is kind of number I priority..so I would think that again all of our zoning power we exercise can be exercised only in the furtherance of public health, safety, morals and welfare, and any action inconsistent with those of public interest is invalid; and therefore, since I think approving this and/or extending this would be inconsistent with those public interests, I will stay consistent with my former position and vote, No." CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS MS. JANIS SCHULER, Dive Master, Travis County Emergency Unit Rescue Squad (dive team), who had requested approval to make training dive in Town Lake in cooperation with the Austin Fire Department, did not appear. MS. LYNN GOODMAN-STRAUSS appeared before Council to discuss the granting of a permit to hold a mass gathering and sell beer in a tiny neighborhood park. She read a statement to Council. Councilmember Himmelblau said she had asked several weeks ago for this to be held somewhere else. Councilmember Snell supported Councilmember Himmelblau's suggestion to move the gathering to Auditorium Shores. Councilmember Himmelblau then asked how Parks and Recreation Department became involved with commercial enterprise. Mr. Ehrler told her this event is similar to ones which are held all over the city. Mayor McClellan suggested they check this out for next year. MS. PAT CRAMER, Outreach Committee Co-Chair, Austin Women Take Back the Night, appeared to request extension of the curfew on Waterloo Park from 10:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Saturday, August 2, 1980. She said the objective of her organization is to once again make the streets safe for women at night. Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council approve the request of Ms. Pat Cramer to extend the curfew on Waterloo Park from 10:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Saturday, August 2, 1980 for Austin Women Take Back the Night. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell Ayes: Noes: None _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 MS. BARBARA S. AYBAR, Acting Chairperson of A Step Forward, Inc. and Bryant House, requested the use of grassy knoll in front of Zachary Scott Theatre for a plant sale to benefit children. Mr. Ehrler, Director of Parks and Recreation, told Council this may cause a conflict with the Sunday afternoon performance at Zachary Scott Theatre. Mayor McClellan thought the crowd there may help business. Councilmember Snell moved that the Council approve the request of Mrs. Barbara S. Aybar, Acting Chairperson, A Step Forward, Inc. and Bryant House, to have a plant sale to benefit children who reside in this facility from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00p.m., June 28, 1980. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino Noes: None MR. M. A. LANG appeared before Council to discuss the City Attorney's letter of June 2, 1980. He commented that the suggestion by the Mayor and the City Attorney that he go to the courts with his problem, "indicates to me that we could have very different views about how the courts do or should look upon such matters. It is my opinion the courts want the political process to work. If citizens run to the court every time the City staff makes a boo-boo and refuses to do something about it, the political process is going to atrophy. You won't be needed." He handed a petition to the Mayor and told Council there are 277 businesses representative of those who have been, are being, or are likely to be arbitrarily charged more for their electricity than they should be under the Electric Rate Ordinance as it now stands. Mr. Lang then read an amendment he would like to see for the Electric Rate Ordinance. EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor McClellan announced 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.

• _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 PUBLIC HEARING ON CLARKSVILLE PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision from the residents of the Clarksville Core Area, regarding a Special Permit Case No. C14p-80-006, AustinTravis County Health Department a clinic called "Clarksville Public Health Center." Dr. Albert G. Randall, Director of Austin-Travis County Health Department reported as follows: "For the past 21 months the Health Department has been working with the Clarksville Neighborhood Advisory Committee and other citizens in an effort to obtain a clear indication from their community on the location of the subject facility. "On March 12, 1979, the Health Department met with the Clarksville Neighborhood Advisory Committee for their recommendations on the location of the Public Health Center. At this meeting the Committee was advised of the two available parcels of land in the Clarksville area that were identified by the Property Management Division. Subsequently, on March 27, 1979, we received a letter from Rev. Willard Sutherland, Chairperson, advising us that the Committee recommended the City-owned parcel of land located at the corner of West 10th and Toyath Street known as Tract No. P-15. "The departmental comments revealed that there would be difficulty in building on the P-15 parcel. On May 15, 1979, a letter was sent to the current chairperson of the Clarksville Committee, that informed them of these difficulties and a recommendation that an alternative solution to the use of P-15 appeared to be appropriate. After conferring with the Clarksville Committee, the chairperson contacted the Health Department to inform us that they had reviewed the departmental concerns but continued to support the use of P-15 and asked that the Health Department pursue the acquisition of this parcel. "During May, 1979, the Clarksville Committee made a verbal request asking the Health Department to look into the feasibility of constructing the health center on a vacant lot located at 1705-09 Waterston Street. The Office of Facilities Planning and Construction (OFPC) responded to this request advising that this single parcel (approximately 1/2 acre) would not be large enough for a 3,500 square foot facility with ample parking. The Clarksville Committee was informed of this on June 13th, whereby they verbally responded that since the Waterston option did not appear to be possible, they would continue to support and encourage the use of Parcel P-15. "In the months of June, July and August, 1979, the Health Department worked with the Planning Department and the Clarksville Committee to resolve an outstanding zoning issue in an effort to comply with the intent of the city code for the construction of Public Health Centers; including the proposed Clarksville facility. "On January 30, 1980, OFPC and the Health Department were asked by the Clarksville Committee to look into the possibility of relocating the Haskell House (1703 Waterston Street) to the P-15 parcel and combining the Haskell House property with the previously mentioned tract at 1705-09 Waterston Street for the construction of the health center. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 "In response to this request, the Parks and Recreation Department was supportive of the committee's proposal to move the Haskell House to P-15 and estimated that this move would cost $40,000 to accomplish. Property Management then advised the Health Department that the owner of the Waterston Street parcel was asking $41,000 for his property. Based on these cost estimates for relocating the Haskell House and purchasing the Waterston Street land, the total cost of this CIP project would increase by approximately $90,000 over the approved $469,000 in this account. "Subsequently, on May 6, 1980, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved the Special Permit application to construct the facility on the P-15 parcel. The Historic Landmark Commission reviewed and commented on the site plan on May 19, 1980, and requested that the facility have an exterior appearance that is compatible with the area. The Landmark Commission did not place any restrictions on land use since the health center is proposed to be located in a National Register District. "The most recent development involves the appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of the Special Permit by a group of area residents. The Health Department has exhausted every effort to resolve the outstanding issues in this case, but to date we have been unsuccessful in our attempts to have the two groups work out a compromise solution." Councilmember Cooke inquired as to the primary purpose of the facility and Dr. Randall said it is to provide any public health facilities needed for the census tracts effected. There are 37,755 people in an area from Lake Austin to 35th, I.H. 35 and West Austin Boulevard. ELLIOTT NAISHTAT, Vice-Chairperson, Clarksville Neighborhood Advisory Board, told Council a health clinic is needed and the site already dy designated designated is the most appropriate one. It is, however, dedicated park land. He said the City is committed to the clinic through three bond elections. Councilmember Himmelblau said this clinic cannot be compared to RosewoodZaragosa, Model Cities, or South Austin which are full ambulatory care clinics. Councilmember Cooke asked for a clarification of the property. He asked Mr. Ehrler if it is dedicated park land. Mr. Ehrler said it is not. Councilmember Cooke then asked what the health needs in Clarksville are. Councilmember Himmelblau stated, "I don't think the Health Facilities Commission acted on anything like this. This is not their duty. Their duty, according to Public Law 93641 is to arbitrate a Certificate of Need and it hasn't been asked for." Councilmember Cooke asked how the clinic will serve the needs of the people of Clarksville. Dr. Randall said they took needs by census tracts and looked at communicable diseases per 1,000 population; the birth rate for 1,000 people; the women of child bearing ages; the preventive types of services the Health Department would be providing for the area in which the center will be located. PAULINE BROWN appeared before Council. As Chairman of Clarksville Advisory Board, she is for the health center in Clarksville P-15. =CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS June 12, 1980 KATHY TYLER, 2106 Palma Plaza, has worked in the area for 6 years in social services and is for the health center. ANN BRASTOFF appeared in favor of a health center in west Austin but opposed the location. She thought a decision should be postponed pending investigation of sites. MARY OGDEN, who has 6 rent houses in Clarksville, said a 3500 foot building in the area will keep the area a lower class one forever. She thinks the health center would be more appropriate on 1st Street near the Humane Society. SHERRY BRYAN appeared to oppose the site selected as an irresponsible use of City funds. AL THOMPSON, 1722 West 11th, told Council the clinic is needed and the land has been vacant for 70 years with nobody saying anything about the use of the land before. LYNN GOODMAN-STRAUSS appeared and spoke in favor of the clinic. RUTH ANN BROWN spoke for other teenagers in Clarksville and spoke in favor of the clinic. DEE DEAN appeared and said there is opposition to the location in Clarksville and asked Council to search for another spot. DARLA SIMMS told Council she is of child bearing age but she does not want the clinic in the area. CRAIG BRESSLER asked about the percentage of people in Clarksville that will walk to the site. An unidentified citizen asked questions about who will use the clinic and said the streets in Clarksville are too narrow. MIKE SHERROW said the clinic would keep low income people in Clarksville and he is all for that. PAT RUSSEL, HEW, said the character of the area should be preserved. GRAIN STEWART said he wished there were an alternative location. Councilmember Trevino said he has asked staff for a broad search for land. JOHN BAYLOR, Department of Property Management, appeared before Council, to say he tried to identify other City-owned property near by. P-15 will take additional money but it seems the best place. Councilmember Trevino asked if there is any property north of Enfield. He said none. = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. June 12, 1980 Motion Councilmember Snell moved that the Council authorize the building of the clinic as originally planned in Clarksville, on site P-15. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. Councilmember Mullen pointed out that a 25 foot road will lead to the clinic, and in a short time there will be complaints about the crowded road and the fact that the clinic is no longer needed at that site. He thought the decision should be deferred until all possible sites are looked at. Substitute Motion Councilmember Mullen made a substitute motion that the Council delay action 45 days to give staff time to find a more acceptable piece of property. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Cooke. After some discussion on availability of other land, it was decided there was no other land. Second to Substitute Motion Withdrawn Councilmember Cooke withdrew his second to the substitute motion. Mayor McClellan said she feels the people have waited long enough and that residents need a health care clinic they can walk to. Roll Call on Original Motion Roll Call on original motion to close the public hearing, build a clinic in P-15 and deny the appeal and grant a Special Permit, showed the motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: Councilmember Mullen ZONING HEARINGS Council had before it for consideration the following zoning cases.

RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission "LR" Local Retail, Ist Height and Area on the .68 acre tract; "0" Office, 1st H&A on the small tract across the street with no access to Rundberg Lane; "A-2" Condominium zoning on the balance. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 GEORGE HUMAN, representing the client, said he had met with the neighborhood. They are concerned about the traffic flow. He said there would only be one additional car every 13 minutes. He said there would be a median opening on Rundberg Lane, but there will be no other additional openings on the streets. He asked Council to approve the zoning and have the staff and developer decide what would be the best median opening. MR. NOAH PHILLIPS who has owned the property for 41 years said he lived there for 32 years. He needs to sell the property because the taxes are high. He feels the townhouses are well planned and will not hurt the neighborhood. SHAWN DOYLE, representing the North Creek Community Association, appeared to express opposition to the zoning change. Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council grant "LR" Local Retail, Ist Height and Area District on the .68 acre tract; "0" Office, 1st Height and Area District on the small tract across the street subject to conditions, and "A-2" Condominium zoning on the balance, as recommended by the Planning Commission; and instruct the staff to work with the neighborhood on matters of street and modification of median.

WILLO HARDIN, representing ACORN, spoke in favor of the zoning change. RON BREITH, Chairman, South Austin Citizens Advisory Board, told Council they are opposed to rezoning of "A" to less restrictive zoning. He requested Council deny until something can be worked out with the neighborhood. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council deny "GR" General Retail, and grant "0" Office, 1st Height and Area, as amended. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau. _CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJune 12, 1980 Substitute Motion Failed Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council deny "0" Office, 1st Height and Area District.

Mr. Albert DeLaRosa stated that the City was legally bound to pay the amount called for under the old policy.

The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. SUBDIVISION FISCAL ARRANGEMENTS UPHELD The Council had before it for consideration an appeal from Mr. R. L. Collins of the Planning Commission's decision requiring fiscal arrangements for R. L. Collins Subdivision. MR. R. L. COLLINS appeared before the Council to request that the letters of credit requirement to cover 100% of the cost for curbs and gutters in his subdivision be waived. He cited portions of the subdivision ordinance which he felt did not apply to his subdivision insofar as requiring curbs and gutters and sidewalks. Mr. Albert DeLaRosa stated that Mr. Collins was requesting a variance for offsite improvements which the City of Austin had conditioned the approval of his plat on. To grant Mr. Collin's request the Council would have to determine that the following criteria were not met: 1. The need for offsite improvements was generated by the development. 2. The offsite improvements would benefit the proposed subdivision. 3. The offsite improvements were necessary for the proposed development. If the Council found that the three items were present, then it must uphold the Planning Commission decision. Mr. German said the ordinance decrees that curb and gutter be placed along the street. Mr. Collins pointed out there are no curbs and gutters for two miles to the north. A discussion followed concerning curbs and gutters. Counci Imember Mullen summed up the discussion by stating if a variance is allowed in this instance, how long will it be before the granting of variances gets out of hand. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 1980 Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council adopt a resolution to uphold the Planning Commission's decision requiring fiscal arrangements for R.
