The City Council stated that it wishes to retain the ability to route MoPac Boulevard through these tracts of land by keeping the alignment options open.

RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 10:10 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 10:30 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING - NORTHEAST AREA AMENDMENTS AUSTIN METROPOLITAN AREA ROADWAY PLAN Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 5:00 p.m. on the Northeast Area Amendments to the Austin Metropolitan Area Roadway Plan. Allen Brecher, Acting Director of Urban Transportation, showed by means of maps the proposed northeast area amendments. Council Memo 17 NORTHEAST ROADWAY - (Continued) 3/22/84 Bryan Chenault, 10505 Sprinkle Cut-Off, wanted to know the exact point the road is proposed near his house. He was shown on the map. Linda Knapp, Route 2, Manor, spoke against the extension of Taylor Lane to 290. The area in Manor it would encompass is now rural and she does not want a four lane highway going through there. A woman who did not identify herself wondered what the width of Pflugerville Road will be from Pflugerville out to 973. Jewel Strimler, who lives in the very eastern part of Travis County, just barely inside the Austin ETJ, opposes the extension of Taylor Lane. The Mayor pointed out that extension of the road may not be built for 10-20 years. It is difficult for the Council not to plan ahead rather than not say anything and wait and then have to condemn property. Councilmember Urdy said if roads are not planned then it will be impossible to build them when they are needed. Clarence Priestly commended the staff for excellent planning. He asked where Decker Creek Lane will go and was told by Mr. Brecher that they have not laid out the alignment yet. He also asked if Springdale Road will start at the Sprinkle cut-off. John Fleming asked when they will know the impact at 183 and 290 because they are having trouble with overcrowded schools already and want to know what the impact will be on "inner-north Austin". Mr. Brecher said they can provide Mr. Fleming with information from the Planning Department re land use and development. Robert Fox, who lives five miles east of Pflugerville and five miles north of Manor, said there will be roads going on both sides of his property according to the map being shown. He said he does not think he will see the roads built in his lifetime but wondered what can be done. Mr. Fox said they are going to have to have roads built for the real estate people. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Urdy's' second, closed the public hearing. (7-0 Vote) Council Memo 18 PUBLIC HEARING. - : 3/22/84 APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION ON SPECIAL PERMIT Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 6:30 p.m. on an appeal from Glenna Balch, representing the Zilker Neighborhood Association, of the Planning Commission's decision to grant a Special Permit for Southwest Classic Properties. Cl4p-81-079. Mr. Lillie reviewed. He said the item was on the agenda last week. Council had a bare majority and continued the public hearing until this evening. Request was for approval of a 50 unit apartment dwelling group. It was approved in 1982 by the City Council for 66 units. The revision is for 16 fewer units. The tract is located at the corner of Kinney Avenue and Barton Springs Road. It is 3.5 acres in a valley which for a long time has been used as a mobile home trailer park....A number of issues were raised at the Planning Commission, but one was the location of the southernmost building on the tract and next to residential developments. The other problem was the access to Kinney Avenue. The previous plan had a driveway opening onto Barton Springs Road and the applicant in working with Urban Transportation felt that a driveway on Kinney Ave. would be more appropriate and safer. The Planning Commission on a 7-0 vote recommended approval of the staff recommendations så ordinance requirements subject to the removal of parking located underneath Unit B of Building 5 which fronts neighborhood property line. The applicant was to work with Urban Transportation and the neighborhood on improvements to Kinney Avenue and Barton Springs Road and subject to a sidewalk on Kinney Avenue noting that a Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued for purposes of connecting utilities until the improvements are made. Richard Gravois, president, Zilker Neighborhood Association, said they want the property to continue to use Barton Springs Road access. When it was a trailer park the maximum units was 40 and exited on Barton Springs Road. When this was approved access was to be on Barton Springs Road. He said Kinney Avenue is at capacity now with current capacity at 4352 south of Barton Springs Road and that is right where Southwest Classic Properties wants their driveway to be. Karen Polk said the entrance on Kinney would be hazardous for the condominium owners and users of Kinney. Joan Stevens said there are great hazards on the hill now. Larry Akers also spoke about the steep incline. Johnny Moss said the idea of a driveway on Kinney is at a very dangerous spot. Richard McBride, Holford Group developers of Lost Canyon Condominiums told Council there is not enough frontage on Barton Springs Road for an entrance and that Kinney Avenue would be safer.
