SMOOT CARL-MITCHELL appeared before Council to discuss Section 45-19 of the City Zoning Ordinance. He is the President of Save Our University Neighborhood and is concerned with revisions to the apartment zoning ordinance for "BB" and less restrictive use zones. He is working with a subcommittee Interested in plugging leopholes in the ordinance and coming up with a consistent criteria triggering a Special Permit hearing for apartment buildings. As a part of this effort, a request was made to the Legal Department to determine whether a use allowed by Special Permit only in a "BB" Residence District requires a Special Permit in a "B" Residence District. Legal has answered this question in the affirmative. In particular the ordinance states that any apartment building of over 50 50 units requires a Special Permit in a "BB" Residence District. This requirement for a Special Permit should carry through "B" Residence and less restrictive districts. Building Inspection has not enforced this provision for 17 years. -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 25, 1981 Mr. Carl-Mitchell said he and other citizens have discussed this with Mr. Davis, Director of Building Inspection, and asked him to enforce this provision and pull all issued building permits for apartment buildings of over 50 units and stop construction on said project until builders obtain the special permits required. Mr. Carl-Mitchell said Mr. Davis refused to act on this because "B" in less restrictive districts allow apartment hotels as a permitted use. It is very clear apartment projects which are not apartment hotels have been issued permits routinely by Building Inspection. Also, it is clear from the definition that an apartment hotel is an apartment building." Mr. CarlMitchell said it is urgent for the City to stop the illegal projects before it is too late. Motion Councilmember Duncan moved that the Council request the Board of Adjustment to call a Special Meeting to discuss Special Permits in "BB" Residence District.

Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, reviewed the issue as follows: "The Austin Growth Management Plan was initiated by Council in the mid-70's and the consulting firm brought back in 1976, prior to completion of the program, draft of the material and a draft of the maps. After a briefing of the material by the Commission and the Council, the area that was originally included in the study which is the Lake Austin Watershed down to and including Bull Creek Watershed, the Council and Commission agreed to add the Dry Creek Watershed which brought the boundaries of the study down to about Mt. Bonnell, excluding the Balcones Drive area. Subsequent to that in 1978 a request by Mrs. Himmelblau brought an item to the Agenda which would have added the balance of the Colorado River Watershed on the east side of the lake to that study. The map shows that area in West Austin generally paralleling MoPac Boulevard down to about Windsor Road and then the watershed boundary following Robinhood Trail down to the Tom Miller Dam. The map that was drawn excluded the area south of Windsor Road and the ordinance adopted in 1978 has an interim ordinance with the map that had the southern boundary drawn wasWindsor Road. In 1980 the interim ordinance was converted to a permanent ordinance and the same map was made a part of that permanent ordinance. In 1981 the Council acted on a zoning request from "A" Residence to "A-2" Condominium for Cornerstone Development Company in the area south of Windsor Road and one of the issues discussed was the boundary and the probability of a map mistake. Mr. Duncan asked that we bring the item to Council to discuss and possibly hold a public hearing." Mr. Lillie then referred to an aerial map. MR. CLARK HEIDRICK, representing E. G. Morrison, spoke in opposition to the watershed south of Windsor Road. He said he does not feel the extension would help the lake but it would injure Mr. Morrison's property. The rest of the area is already developed and the restriction would be against Mr. Morrison, only. MR. FRED DENNICK, Espey-Huston, Associates, showed maps and discussed drainage as outlined on the map. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Juen 25, 1981 E. G. MORRISON, 1804 Rockmoor, told something about the buying of his property and the dredging of the lagoon for beautification. He showed slides. BILL PENN, attorney representing Mr. Morrison, showed a map of the area and discussed the watershed ordinance. He said the only purpose of an extension would be to restrict Mr. Morrison. Councilmember Deuser commented the purpose of the ordinance is to protect Lake Austin water. DUDLEY HOUGHTON, member of Lake Austin Neighborhood Association, passed out something. CLERK DID NOT RECEIVE A COPY. He also showed slides. CHARLES PALMER, 5515 Bonnie Road said Mr. Morrison's property is the natural drainage to keep water pure. CHARLES BOYD who lives on Rockmoor, showed slides. PAT KING, a teacher at University of Texas, expressed concern with the water quality and said the public interest comes first. ED WENDLER, representing Cornerstone, said the only map which is important is the one on file in the City Clerk's office, and said the map is not ambiguous. After several remarks, he concluded that it is neither legal, constitutional or proper to amend the ordinance now. PATTY HOUGHTON said it is unfair to make an exemption for one person and everyone should be included. Motion Councilmember moved that the Council close the public hearing. The motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Trevino. Substitute Motion - Failed Councilmember Duncan moved that the Council close the public hearing and adopt the ordinance line to reflect the true watershed to Tom Miller Dam. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Deuser, failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Deuser, Duncan Noes: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Goodman, Mullen, Urdy, Mayor McClellan Councilmember Urdy asked Mr. Albert DeLaRosa what the legal description is today. Mr. DeLaRosa told him the line is south boundary of Windsor Road as attached to the ordinance. Councilmember Urdy said the line ought to follow the watershed, but the people's impression of the line cannot be ignored either. Councilmember Goodman asked the Legal Department to place on next Thursday's agenda a definition of the Lake Austin Watershed. Mr. DeLaRosa said this would be done. June 25, 1981 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS HISTORICAL REVOLVING FUND LOAN Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving a Historical Revolving Fund Loan not to exceed $7,500 to Emma Lou Linn for exterior restoration of the structure located at 316 East 6th Street, Austin, Texas at a rate of 6% interest for ten years. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Deuser, Duncan, Goodman, Mullen, Urdy, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino Noes: None There was some discussion by Council prior to the vote. Councilmember Mullen felt more guidelines need to be set. EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ORDINANCE MS. YVONNE GARDNER, Chairperson, Employees' Retirement Board, appeared before Council to report on recommendations for changes to the Employees' Retirement Ordinance. She said the Board had conducted a survey of employees to determine which of several benefit improvements they would most like to see Incorporated into the system. Based on the results of this survey and of a public hearing held for City employees, the Board recommended to Council the following three benefit improvements: note. 1. To reduce the normal (unreduced) retirement age to the earlier of age 62, or age 55 with 30 years creditable service. 2. To reduce the period of salary averaging for computing retirement benefits from 120 months to 36 months. 3. Continue member and City contributions after age 62.

Mr. Ed Badgett, Assistant City Manager, addressed Council as follows: "We have a request by the Robertson Hill Steering Committee for targeting up to 52 units of single family detached housing for inclusion into the standard rehabilitation program. We ask Council's approval of this request." Councilmember Deuser said this was reported to have come from a steering committee decision of the Robertson Hill Steering Committee. He said three members of the steering committee were in his office, and said they took action on June 10, which was contrary to the request as Mr. Badgett cited from a June 11 letter from Robert E. Lee, Chairperson, Robertson Hill Steering Committee. "They did not participate in or request that this request be made. So this request is being made by the chairperson of a steering committee purported to be acting on behalf of the steering committee, and there is no evidence the steering committee did approve this."
