Councilmember Duncan stated: "Mayor, one question on this. When you reviewed the tape, there was no neighborhood opposition that was related to whatsover?" Mayor Mullen said, "No". Councilmember Duncan said, "I trust you Mayor." Mayor Mullen stated, "I had my aide go back and listen specifically. There was just one sentence at the end that muddied up the water that I made that had nothing to do with the discussion and this is to clear that up. Everyone basically thinks from the discussion that it was right but it was really my wording that messed it up." Councilmember Duncan said, "O.K., great. I wanted to get that on the record." The following letter was included in material sent to Council regarding the amendment of the Minute Memo: 0-24 RON MULLEN MAYOR City of Austin POUNDED BY CONGRESS, REPUBLIC OF TEXAS, мо OFFICE OF THE MAYOR April 4, 1984 P. O. BOX 1088 AUSTIN, TEXAR 75767 A/C 812 477-681 MEMO TO: Dick Lillie, Director of Planning FROM: Mayor Ron Mullen M SUBJECT: Zoning Case #C14-83-254 Mr. Robert Foster of BFS Interests contacted my office regarding the above zoning case, which was heard by Council on February 2, 1984. The meeting minutes reflect that Council approved the Planning Commission's recommendation of the requested change to "B", first height and area. However, the minutes also state that approval was conditioned on a maximum density of 24 units per acre. Mr. Foster pointed out that "B" zoning allows thirty units per acre, and was unable to understand the limitation placed on this parcel of approximately two-thirds acre. つ Council Memo MINUTES AMENDED 8 - (Continued) 4/19/84 I requested my assistant, Merrijo Dean, to audit the tape recording of the February 2nd meeting and determine the events leading to the vote. It appears the mistake was mine. The tape reflects that, following the vote (5-1-0), I said "...with a maximum of 24 units per acre." My comment was barely audible, and Mr. Foster did not hear it at the time. In retrospect, I realize the comment was incorrect, and probably resulted from the confusing discussion about the size of the tract after dedication of right-of-way. Please correct your records to show Council approval of "B", lst H&A, with no additional density limitations. I appreciate your assistance. cc: Jorge Carrasco, City Manager Elden Aldridge, City Clerk Mr. Robert Foster (c/o Larry Strickland, First Austin Properties, 1900 First City Centre, 816 Congress, Austin, Texas 78701) : WILLIAMSON CREEK STATUS REPORT Mr. Carrasco, City Manager, told Council the report on Williamson Creek was given to them earlier this week and unless there were questions, he did not feel there was anything new to report.

That's what we asked for originally and they began to get off that charge and we want them back on that charge. The Commission in a vote of 6-2 stated they do want better guidelines from the Council." SEPTIC TANKS The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed temporary amendments to the ordinance prohibiting the use of septic systems within 100 feet of a wastewater line as follows: (7-0 Vote) Option 2 Any lot in a subdivision approved on the basis of sanitary sewer connections be approved for an individual sewage disposal system only if the lot would otherwise meet all Health Department requirements to adequately treat the sewage, prevent public health hazards and prevent subsurface water pollution. 1. The lot must fully qualify for an individual sewage disposal system, including requirements such as lot size, percolation rates, set backs, slopes, geology and available space. This will exclude most residential lots. 2. 3. Plumbing must be laid for connection to the City's sanitary sewer, so that, should the sewer become available, the connection will be made without unnecessary delay. Each lot approved will have a hold on the issuance of future building permits to prevent the installation of an individual sewage disposal system serving a small portion of a business or residential unit that is later expanded without connection to the City sewer, or approval of expansion of the system by the Health Department. Irrevocable financial arrangements will be required of the developer. Prior to the vote, Sue Edwards, Assistant City Manager, reported on the proposed amendments.

What we call a probable risk analysis which is the type of study that would require the close cooperation of HL&P and Bechtol, what we call an inside the fence study. HL&P and other partners declined to cooperate in that effort. We have come back with what we call an outside the fence study which would not require any site trips but would basically be using information that we have developed in our own studies as well as the management review that has gone on using a lot of the information generated by Bechtol. not as accurate because it does not give us the opportunity to really take a detailed look to see what Bechtol has done, but it does provide a higher level of information than we have now. In particular we are going to take a look at some other parameters which have not been looked at. One is an assessment of the present and future regulatory environment and the probability that the nuclear project will successfully obtain an operating license. We are also going to ask the consultant to look at an estimated cost associated with de-commissioning and waste disposal, so there are some new parameters in here that have not been done before and I think will provide you some useful information."

Councilmember Duncan said he disagreed that this is not a different question because the urgency for money does not now exist.
