AIRPORT SITE Jorge Carrasco, City Manager, introduced his report on LandUse Alternatives for Current Airport Site. "Sometime ago you requested that we evaluate land use alternatives for the current airport site. This was consistent with the recommendation you received from the Airport Task Force. As a result of that request we engaged the services of an outside firm to assist with this undertaking. I believe all of you have received copies of the report from the outside firm. We have a representative from that firm with us today to make the presentation. Mr. Fred Walton is here from Pittman, Geyden, Albers, and Veets. In order to select the firm we went through an RFP process and those were evaluated and recommendation made that this firm should be selected." Fred Walton presented to Council options of how to use the land the airport is now on. He referred to his report Options A, B and C. and showed slides and maps. Mr. Walton discussed HIGHWAY 183 UPGRADE The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Duncan's second, adopted a resolution recommending to the State Highway and Public Transportation Commission that right-of-way adequate for simultaneous two-way transitway operation be incorporated into the original design of the U.S. Hwy. 183 upgrade.

EXEMPTION REQUESTED Mr. Rob Harbison appeared before Council to request exemption from Williamson Creek Tap Moratorium for 7 taps. HEARING ON EXEMPTION SET Mr. John M. Joseph appeared before Council to request exemption to the existing taps moratorium in the Williamson Creek area and that Council instruct the Water and Wastewater Department to issue taps within the parameters of the injunction imposed in Cause No. 359,468 in the District Court of Travis County, Texas 261st Judicial District: State of Texas vs. City of Austin. Council set a public hearing for September 27, 1984 at 3 p.m. EXEMPTION REQUESTED John B. Sanford appeared before Council representing a group of individuals who are in the process of purchasing property on Avenue H which was owned by Lutheran Social Services. There has been a roll back on the property to "A" zoning. The individuals that intend to build single family residences on this property want exemption from the Inner City Ordinance so they can remove the wooden structure at 4007 Avenue H and also have an exemption so they can take down the stone structure at 4013 Avenue H. Mr. Sanford said there is no neighborhood opposition to this. Mayor Mullen stated, "Our policy is if there is a request for action on exemption from Inner-City Ordinance, or any other items requestion Council action, any one from the audience who wishes to speak on it can." Dorothy Richter, Hyde Park area, said they have no problem with moving the structures but questions if this is in a timely manner. If this is the step required in proceeding with the subdivision and the nailing down of the rollback to "A". Is this, she asked, the proper procedure for getting that going? Mr. Sanford said he has discussed this with immediate neighbors in the area and they have no problem with the structures being removed. He has been told the resubdivision will be heard before Planning Commission on the 25th and individuals purchasing the homes hope to close immediately thereafter. Councilmember Shipman said since the zoning has been recommended by the Planning Commission this can be brough back on the September 20, 1984 agenda as an exemption from Inner-City Ordinance. ة Council Memo 11 MORATORIUM REQUESTED 9/13/84 Ms. Gail Beall appeared before Council to request a temporary moratorium on zoning west of Loop 360 on 2244 and the extension of annexation to Highway 71 and widening to 1000 feet.
