Alta Willms, Hyde Park neighborhood, told Council she has heard that testing of sewer lines has begun but she has not seen it. She does not feel her neighborhood needs a moratorium. Doug Nichols says he welcomes the study but sees no evidence of an emergency existing. Roy Bockhorn, 703 West 49th, said he thought he lived in the Ridgetop area and now finds that Hyde Park has extended itself. He said he does not favor a a moratorium and more restrictions on him. Joel Aldridge is concerned with efforts to de-value property zoned "B". He feels the moratorium is untimely and discriminatory. He said the action is unrelated to alleged need of infrastructure. Councilmember Shipman said there is a misunderstanding because there is a dire infrastructure emergency. The water and sewer system is over 70 years old in Hyde Park and it is being assessed. The question is how to pay for it, by bonds, citizens, or by Hyde Park property owners. removed.

Council Memo HYDE PARK - (Continued) 13 November 17, 1983 David Lewis, 601 E. 50th, said the City engineers should study before any action is taken. He said Ridgetop should not be included in the Hyde Park area moratorium because they have no water or sewer problems. Bert Cromack said for 70 years the people in the area have been paying for the sewer system. Discussion followed concerning the pros and cons of a moratorium. Councilmember Duncan favored a moratorium until the problem can be fixed. He said City-wide problems should be found. Mayor Mullen said he does not favor a moratorium and if someone wants to build, let the builder pay their fair share before receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. Councilmember Urdy favors the moratorium because he said if the developer posts a fiscal note and the lines are in trouble, then what does the City do?

RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 3:10 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 3:25 p.m. Council Memo 14 SOUTH AUSTIN MUD NO.1 November 17, 1983 Council had before them a resolution to consider and create the South Austin Municipal Utility District. No. 1. Councilmember Duncan said there were four questions that had been unresolved previously. "The first had to do with the retail designation of some acreage on Convict Hill Road. It is my understanding, in this motion, the area shall be changed to multi-family and I would like to put in, 'with a density not to exceed 20 units per acre'which I think would be commensurate with the density across the road.in Convict Hill. The second point had to do with the recommendations by the staff regarding the price per acre for park improvements, $130.00 was proposed by the developer in accord with the recent Maple Run development, $200.00 was recommended by the staff. I think we have a matter of fairness and equity here and what point they were in the system and I will support the $130.00 figure and vote for the $200.00 figure for the following MUD's that come in and apply because they are more in line with our staff calculations. The third question had to do with the overall density of the area. They were asking for a gross density of 5.75 and they have now agreed that the overall gross density shall be limited to five units per acre. I need to point out that as with the previous MUD's that this is an overall count and this in no way allows any variances, waivers or exceptions on any impervious cover requirements for the watershed they are in. In fact I have some doubts they could reach five units per acre and I would not like this to be taken as any waiver of the impervious cover. The final question that is still unresolved and we could not reach a satisfactory resolution is the operation of the fire station. The applicant has agreed to give land and the station.Re the operation of the station and we do not have a resolution. The applicant would have to do it through volunteer service." : Ed Wendler Sr., applicant, said they are agreeable to all statements made by Councilmember Duncan. They will also comply with the billboard ordinance. Councilmember Duncan said there is a nine page motion incorporating everything. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Councilmember Rose's second, adopted a resolution creating the South Austin Municipal District (complete motion is on the following nine pages) (7-0 Vote) Council Memo 15 NOVEMBER 17, 1983 MOTION REGARDING CREATION OF 640 ACRE SOUTH AUSTIN MUD NO. 1 November 17, 1983 I move that we approve the creation of the South Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 upon the following terms and conditions: 1.

If the installation of 90% of the facilities has not been accomplished within that 4 year period, the City may, at its option, annex the entire District and revoke its approval for the installation of any further facilities and revoke its authorization for the issuance of the balance of the District's unissued bonds. In the event the District has begun construction of any facilities and that construction is in progress, in good faith, at the expiration of 4 years, the annexation of the District, and the corresponding revocation of authority to issue bonds to finance those facilities, shall be postponed until the construction is completed and the purchase of those facilities is accomplished. 4.

Frank Cooksey appeared before Council to say he opposes the entire development scheme for area of MUD's granted in the recharge zone of Edwards Aquifer. He wants low density standards.

Mosely, representing the Northeast Austin Residents Association, of the Planning Commission's decision to grant a Special Permit for Case No. C14-83-098. Art Mosely, Northeast Austin Neighborhood Association, asked where the City is on this. Mr. Schwing, Director of Water and Wastewater, said the committments have been made. Art Rushke passed out information to the Council. City Clerk did not receive a copy. Art Mosely said the appeal should be denied because it will affect the general public's health and welfare. He said the water and sewer capacity is grossly overloaded now and there have been instances of sewage back-up in apartments. Karen Horn, Northeast Alliance Group, an umbrella group, asked Council to consider no new uncommitted connections to the Little Walnut Creek Interceptor. Art Rushke said he has purchashed the taps from the City and would like an immediate decision. An unidentified woman said this project is on the Little Walnut Creek Interceptor. Mr. Schwing said committments have been made and money has changed hands. Councilmember Duncan read a receipt from the Water and Wastewater Department. Hе asked why the City does not return deposits. Mr. Schwing said 5000 of them are out. Discussion followed concerning issuance of taps. Councilmember Duncan then said that the proposed project does indeed endanger the public health and safety. Jonathan Davis, Acting City Attorney, said concern for public health and safety overrides a commitment on the City's part. Mr. Schwing said if this development is denied then everything upstream must be denied and it will shut down every developer in this City. He said this one can be approved but does not want to approve any others. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro.
