Councilmember Shipman said, "A signal is going to be necessary at this intersection because of the intensity of development that is taking place on Loop 360 and we need to know we are creating an extension of Ben White Blvd. with all of these signals it is going to be stop and go on the entire loop and we need to be cognizant of that. I have no problems with the "0-1" zoning on Loop 360 but this is a 20 acre tract that goes back into the neighborhood and they are single family detached houses on large acre lots. I am concerned about buffering and what steps can be taken to mitigate the fact of this project on the back side of the neighborhood, not the appropriateness of the zoning on Loop 360." She asked staff to report back to Council on the possibility of extending the City's annexation for limited purpose back to Bunny Run. She said as they look at the projects fronting on Loop 360 there also needs to be concern what is in back of them when it abuts a residential neighbor.

Kim Williams, applicant, showed slides. He said the property is steeped in history, back to the 1840's and reviewed its history. He said the Landmark Commission did not vote in the negative, it was a tie vote. Mayor Mullen expressed concern by saying "I have a concern about beginning a trend to try and zone property historical to try and preserve and area when the property really is questionable about its being historical. If this structure is zoned historical then there are a lot of other structures in the City that should be zoned historical." Councilmember Rose said this type of zoning just has to be done case by case..

Westview Road, Badger Bend, Wolf Run, Rapture Cove & Honey Dew Court Marie Gaines reviewed the tract which consists of 551 acres of land in South Austin. She said Tom Curtis appeared at the Planning Commission meeting and requested exclusion of property he represents Council Memo ZONING (Continued) 24 June 7, 1984 because plans are currently underway. "Subject tracts recommended to you for exclusion include an 88 acre tract that is south and a 30 acre tract in this area here (pointed to map). Since the action we have received a request from the property owner along Convict Hill who owned the 6 acre tract within Tract 3. The Commission felt that the owner represented by Tom Curtis should have his property excluded and recommended a 30 acre site and an 80 acre site be excluded from Tract 3. The owner of the third property, which is a 6 acre tract on Convict Hill, is requesting "C" commercial zoning for the existing mausoleum." Sharon Leggett, representing Forest Oaks Funeral Home and Cemetery, told Council that part of the zoning recommended for "AA" includes their business located there which consists of a funeral home and cemetery which has been in operation since 1954. They request that six acres of the 46 acres be zoned for the use of a funeral home under "C" commercial because that is what the laws of Austin require. She said the re-zoning of the cemetery is not necessary but wants the other re-zoning so they can continue with their business. Ted Miller, representing Beckett Estates and McCarty Lane Neighborhood Association, said they want additional restrictive covenants. He said they are surrounded on the south by "A" zoning, which he understands will be duplexes, and have a church on one side but apartments are going to be built between the church and his neighborhood. On the west side exemption is being requested on tract C and B. Commercial and higher density is proposed for this area so the neighborhood of Convict Hill plus their neighborhood will be split down the middle. They support the request on the funeral home. Councilmember Shipman said she does not favor zoning the 6 acre tract "C" for the funeral home because in future years the use may be changed to something not compatible with the neighborhood. Mayor Mullen suggested they zone the footprint "C" and leave space around it "AA". Motion Councilmember Rose made a motion to zone footprint "c", "o" office for the existing parking lot and the rest "AA" for the six acres. Sharon Leggett told Council, "If you are not willing to go "C" commercial for the six acres we are using I think we want it excluded and we will come back with complete plans so it can be properly zoned. I still think it should go commercial because that is what is there." Mayor Mullen said we are going to do that but just to what is there. Council Memo ZONING - (Continued) 25 June 7, 1984 Andy Schlosser asked "Can you zone the footprint commercial and zone the parking area "0" and exclude the remainder instead of zoning it "AA"?" Mayor Mullen said Council can exclude the remainder for 60 days to allow the funeral home to come back with a plan. He said the plan must go before the Planning Commission. Mayor Mullen said the land will be zoned "AA" permanently if the applicant has not come back with a plan to revise it. Motion Withdrawn Councilmember Rose withdrew his motion. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, approved "C" on the building footprint, "0" on the parking lot that is now in existence, "AA" on the remainder of the acreage in 60 days; if applicnat comes back with a plan in 60 days they do not have to pay fees and go through all the processes they would have to if zoned permanent "AA" today, the rest of the property to be zoned as recommended by the applicant, the City of Austin.

White Assn. 7002-7004 Manchaca 2000-2002 Mimosa From "A" 1st H&A To "0-1" 1st H&A NOT RECOMMENDED CASE NOT HEARD DUE TO IMPROPER NOTIFICATION PUBLIC HEARING - APPEALS OF BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION APPROVAL OF RELOCA- TION PERMITS Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 4:15 p.m. on appeals of the Building Standards Commission approval of relocation permits for the following structures: a. 1200 Baylor Street b. 1202 Baylor Street c. 1201 Castle Hill Street d. 1203 Castle Hill Street e. 1205 Castle Hill Street Lonnie Davis, Director of Building Inspection, told Council a request was made on April 25 by the owner of the property, Mr. Joe Waring, to relocate the five structures listed above. The request to the Building Standards Commission was to relocate the five structures outside of the City limits. The principle question considered by the Commission was, if the structures were safe to move, across the streets and could they be rehabilitated to comply with all applicable ordinances and would they be compatible with the neighborhood. fact that they are going to be moved outside the City removes the last two questions. So, Mr. Davis said, the only question before the Building Standards Commission was were they safe to move across the street. The Commission did vote to recommend approval on a 6-2-1 vote. The Council Memo APPEALS HEARING - 28 (Continued) June 7, 1984 Councimember Duncan asked, "What is the status of the court case on this?" Paul Isham, City Attorney, said, "It is my understanding there has been another agreed temporary restraining order entered into the case but would not prevent the City from considering this particular matter." Daphne Daniel, 1202 Castle Hill, read a letter which had been delivered to Council, asking that the requested relocation permits should not be issued and cited the errors she believes have been committed in the application for the relocation permits. She said the validity of site plan approval is currently at issue in a lawsuit in a State District Court. Bill Ikard, representing the applicant, discussed the lawsuit. He said Judge Lowrey denied an application for temporary infunction by the applicants based on fact there is no showing of irrevocable harm. "At this moment my client is in possession of five demolition permits which were issued this afternoon and are in no way limited to the temporary restraining order that related only to the existing permits issued in October 1983. He also discussed the validity of the site plan. ....... " Councilmember Urdy said he cannot understand the issuance of demolition permits in light of the moratorium and asked if they had just been issued today. Mr. Davis, Director of Building Inspection, said they had originally been issued in October, 1983. "Since there was some question raised as to the validity of those permits, the new owner, Mr. Joe Waring, came in Monday after the court hearing and requested additional permits for demolition which were issued this afternoon after 4:00 p.m. ......The moratorium is based on, until you get an approved site plan. It has been the staff position that we do in fact have an approved site plan which sets aside the moratorium and authorized the issuance of either a demolition permit or a move off permit. ... The appellants are raising a question about the site plan but the site plan in the staff's opinion has been reviewed by the City Attorney's office. We feel it is a valid site plan. ... The sign-off of the site plan occurred seven days after the ordinance was passed and the site plan was signed off on January 26, 1984, but there were overriding concerns as to why it was signed-off seven days late. The Water and Wastewater Department was reviewing the proposed development as to whether or not they needed an increase in the water and sewer lines going up to the project and was having to review it from a mechanical standpoint and the serving with water and wastewater, which was one of their charges. The Water and Wastewater did not immediately sign off on it at that time, it was seven days later and it is our determination and the City Attorney's determination that the process was in motion, that is was a valid site plan and that we support it." Council Memo APPEALS HEARING - 29 (Continued) June 7, 1984 Mr. Discussion followed. Walt McCool, Assistant City Attorney, stated, "The Court will still make that decision in regard to the permits that have been issued previously." Mr. Ikard underscored what Mr. McCool said. Mr. Davis stated, "The Courts did not make any determination Monday that would stop or preclude us from issuing new demolition permits which we issued at 4:00 this afternoon. Ikard has indicated they will be out there early in the morning demolishing the structures, which will occur prior to any court disposition as to the validity of the site plan. So I just wanted to make the Council aware of what we will be confronted with in the morning." Mayor Mullen asked if appellants knew this was the other alternative and that demolition permits had been issued. Councilmember Duncan said, "There is no appeal process for demolition permits?" Mr. Davis said, "No, sir." Councilmember Shipman said she thinks this matter should be continued at a later date. Councilmember Urdy agreed. ) Motion Councilmember Urdy made a motion to postpone action on this item until determination is made. Councilmember Duncan seconded the motion (With the full realization this will be a moot point by tomorrow afternoon.) Mayor Mullen said he does not know why they sit & talk about preserving old houses for the poor, etc. and then have five old homes we will not allow to be moved. That is not consistent. "They are all going to be torn down and it will not change the process one iota, not one single point will change and yet we sit here and say because of our convictions of what could have and should have and maybe might have happened, whether or not to allow these houses to be moved. They may be moved either a house at a time or a stick at the time, but they are going to be moved and this action will not stop them from being moved. It is just how they are going to be moved. Either they are going to be trucked out in junk or they are going to be trucked out as a complete home." Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said the irony of it all is we know, if this is postponed, what the fate of the houses will be. I think it would be tragic to take that action in having the houses demolished and later on the court would rule that everything had been in compliance with existing ordinances and policies. I don't know if I'm willing to take that chance. Councilmember Duncan stated, "If it turns out to be an illegal demolition or approval, I don't want to be in the position of approving it." Mayor Mullen said it will only be as illegal as this Council Council Memo APPEALS HEARING 30 - (Continued) June 7, 1984 determines, basically, because we are the ones that passed the law. That is what I think is interesting. We set in motion moratoriums, we set in motion grandfather clauses..... More discussion. Paul Isham, City Attorney, stated, "It was the staff's position when this first came up that the applicant had complied with all the ordinances as they existed at that time and that he is in a proper position to go forward with demolition, relocation, reconstruction. We had a previous case before the Council and Council took no action because of that reason and effectively the adjoining neighbors were told if they were going to stop the project they would have to do so through a court action and have the court interpret that the staff's interpretation of the applicants processes was erroneous and a lawsuit was filed. The fact that the judge has not enjoined the City from either allowing a relocation permit to be issued or issuing demolition permits is an indication from the court, for whatever reasons, whether it's been improper readings, lack of proof, or whatever, that the landowners have not been able to meet a burden as of this date that would show to the court so that he would enjoin the city so the city interpretation of the ordinance is erroneous. Maybe at the final hearing he will determine that, adverse to the City, but in the meantime, and I'm sure he recognizes the fact, that certain things can happen that will make the whole question moot. They have their demolition permits and they can demolish but they would prefer to relocate. If at the final hearing the judge determines the staffs interpretation of the ordinance is wrong, we have that as a court holding, but it seems to me the damage has been done because the building probably would have been demolished at this point. ....The only decision for the Council tonight is to see whether the buildings should be demolished or relocated. I can't see how you can stop one or the other from happening by any other action, through continuance or asking that it be placed on a later agenda for re-consideration or re-writing the ordinance or taking out the grandfather clause or any other type of action you want to consider. It really won't affect what is going to happen in this case." More discussion. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said he is willing to vote to allow the houses to be moved, but instead of out of town, allow the City staff to see if the structures will be compatible with some of the areas in Clarksville, Guadalupe or Rainey Street. Joe Waring, owner of the houses, said he has a lady who lives in Elgin who wants to buy one house.
C Council Memo APPEALS HEARING - 31 (Continued) June 7, 1984 Mr. Davis reminded Council that if the houses are to be moved then signs must be posted at locations where structures will be moved to, notify the people in the area and give the Building Standards Commission an opportunity to hear that end. Councilmember Duncan said, "The real question is the site plan. I really do not believe that the judge is going to decide on whether or not that site plan is valid after looking at all of the merits of the case and the process of the City and all he's going to make that decision based on our relocation permits, I just don't believe he will do that and that we will not prejudice his decision. We can handle that by stating clearly that this decision in no way verifies on our part the validity of that site plan. That is not the question before this Council and is not the vote we are taking and put in the record that this motion and decision does not in any way indicate our position on the validity of that site plan. We often, in other cases, say this shall have no precedential value, etc. We can do the same thing with this. Just place it in the record this should not influence not only the judge but any of our future decisions on this. What I come down to is I would like very much to support the neighborhood position on this but the situation has really changed since the appeal was made and I can see no advantage to the neighborhood for denying the relocation permit. I can find no way that it benefits your position in court or benefits whether or not the site plan process under the new ordinance is adhered to. The reality is we really are looking at whether the buildings are torn down or moved." Second to Motion Withdrawn Councilmember Duncan withdrew his second.
