(7-0 Vote) ITEM TO BE BROUGHT BACK Third reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 13-2 of the Austin City Code (Zoning Ordinance) to cover the following change will be on the November 8, 1984 agenda: Council Memo ITEM - (Continued) 8 O.D. KENDRICK & 7002-7004 Manchaca CURTIS BAGGE C14-83-335 2000-2002 Mimosa 10/25/84 From "A" 1st H&A to "0-1" 1st H&A EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor Mullen announced Council would go into Executive Session pursuant to Article 6252-17, Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated, to discuss the following matters: Pending Litigation: (1) Houston Lighting and Power Company, et al v. Brown and Root, et al in Matagorda County, and City of Austin vs. Houston Lighting and Power Company in Travis County - Section 2, Paragraph e. - Section 2, (2) Intervention in the Houston Lighting and Power Rate Case before Public Utility Commission Paragraph e. and after such closed or Executive Session any action to be taken shall be done in open session. RECESS 1 Council recessed its meeting at 10:00 a.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 1:00p.m. UTILITY CONTRACT PROBLEM Mr. Larry Langley appeared before Council to discuss a utility contract problem at IH 35 S and Comal Bluffs. ۱ UTILITY COMMITTMENT PROBLEM Mr. Jim Nias appeared before Council to discuss a utility committment problem at U.S. Highway 290 W. and State Highway 71. He said he represents Bradshaw and Looney. They leased property to the City for getting effluent out and are asking for 34 LUE's to 21 acres in Oak Hill. After discussion, City Manager Carrasco said the City will continue to work on the capacity problem and in the mean time everything will stay as it is. Council Memo 9 EXEMPTION REQUESTED 10/25/84 Mr. Michael McAndrew appeared before Council to request exemption from Montopolis Area Planning and Zoning Change Moratorium for the Cattleman State Bank and the Montopolis Tomgro Grocery store. Motion ( The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Duncan's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance amending the Montopolis Area Planning & Zoning Change Moratorium to exempt the Cattleman State Bank & Tomgro Grocery Store. (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Spaeth out of the room.) NO ACTION TAKEN ON REQUEST Council took no action on the request of Mr. Dick Rathgeber that Council grant one LUE in Williamson Creek Area for emergency hookup of a warehouse showroom. Therefore, the request was denied. STORM WINDOWS ON A TEST STRUCTURE Mr. Michael Guarino appeared before Council to request their permission to install storm windows on a test structure or home of the City's choice (at no charge) to evaluate their effectiveness. He said Jerry Lawson, Energy Resource Director, has said it will take 15 years to repay storm windows in the Austin climate. Mr. Guarino said this is not true and they want to put storm windows on a test structure as part of energy management. Jerry Lawson said they have done careful research of storm windows and have found storm windows in Austin are not cost effective. He said if a residence has a gas furnace, it takes 23 years to make up the cost. Even in Minnesota it takes 18 years to pay back storm doors and 12 years to pay back storm windows. Realistically it would take 26 years to pay back the cost in the Austin area. Council directed the City Manager to direct the staff to report back on November 8, 1984. CITIZEN APPEARED LATER Mr. Carey Jones did not appear under Citizen Communications as requested, but appeared later concerning amending Restrictive Covenant #3 relating to street alignment. CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR Mr. John Sabo, who had requested to appear before Council concerning replacement of a fireline (water) to Nixon Lane from MLK to deadend, did not appear. Council Memo 10 HUD 10/25/84 The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Shipman's second, approved the request of Mr. Marcos de Leon for certification of grant submitted by East Austin Chicano Economic Development Corporation to HUD Neighborhood Development Demonstration Program. (7-0 Vote) TAXI CABS Terral Smith appeared before Council requesting them to adopt a proposed amendment to Article II, Chapter 8-7 relating to the operation of taxi cabs. He said, "Last week you passed a taxicab ordinance which had two changes on third reading the ordinance on first and second reading did not have. Those changes had a significant impact on Harlem Cab and my client Roy Liveoak. .....The one thing you put in I did not disagree with and that was the same person cannot own two cab franchises. We would like, however, to have six months to comply with that by either selling the franchise or merging the franchises. There have been some negotiations to try to sell the Harlem franchise in compliance. The people had no money, so now it looks like we need to merge the two franchises, paint the cars, and get permits from the City for merger. It will take about six months. .. .... Part 2 of my proposed amendment has to do with the effective date of this ordinance. It surprised me when you moved the effective date from January 1, 1985 to this coming Monday. You did not renew Harlem Cab when it first came up for its franchise. As a result the franchise expired and because of its expiration you passed an emergency ordinance to allow people to have franchises and operate them without an ordinance so they can continue to operate. That is how Harlem Cab is operating right now but that will no longer be possible, come Monday. That would mean 59 cabs would be parked, 59 drivers would be jobless and East Austin and the airport would not really be taken care of because Harlem Cab primarily handles those two areas. I ask that you make the franchise effective January 1, or make some condition so Harlem can continue to operate until such time that you have formally approved that franchise or the franchises have merged." 1 Motion Councilmember Rose made a motion, waiving the requirement for three readings and finally passing an ordinance amending Article II, Chapter 8-7 relating to the operation of taxicabs becoming effective immediately. Paul Isham, City Attorney, stated: "The new franchise change provisions you want effective January 1, 1985." Mr. Isham referred to last September when all the cab companies were without a franchise and said they could continue to operate until the third reading. Mr. Smith said that would be fine and the rest of the provisions of the ordinance he has no problem with. Councilmember Rose asked Mr. Isham for language for the motion. Council Memo TAXI CABS - (Continued) 11 10/25/84 : ; Mr. Isham said, "Remove Part II and move to adopt the amendments to Section 8.7-82 and then incorporate in that motion that Harlem Cab Company will be permitted to continue to operate without a franchise until such time as Council considers the third reading of Harlem's franchise application. Therefore you are not binding yourself to pass that third reading but at least they can operate until you consider the third reading." Motion Amended The Council, on Councilmember Rose's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance amending Section 8.7-82; and Harlem Cab Company will be permitted to continue to operate without a franchise until such time as Council considers the third reading of Harlem's franchise application. (7-0 Vote) ELECTRIC RATE SETTLEMENT Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 2:30 p.m.. establishing the electric rate settlement tariffs approved by the Texas Public Utility Commission, effective November 1, 1984. City Manager Carrasco said they would delay on the action. They had thought PUC was going to act earlier and want to delay the hearing until the action. "The effective date for the rate increase will need to be December 1 rather than November 1." No one appeared to speak. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, closed the public hearing. (7-0 Vote) WASTEWATER TAP MORATORIUM Council had before them for consideration an ordinance amending the Wastewater Tap Moratorium Ordinance. James Thompson, Director of Water and Wastewater, stated several homes in the Williamson Creek area have been constructed and there is no wastewater available. Now, there are 4300 LUE's being requested in the area. City Manager Carrasco cited the freeboard inches in Williamson Creek pond and said the City needs a guaranteed source of capacity. Councilmember Shipman said it is not good to truck sewage 24 hours a day on IH 35. It creates a threat to public health and welfare. Council Memo MORATORIUM - (Continued) 12 10/25/84 Councilmember Duncan said if Council allows this then other builders will want to do the same thing. Councilmember Rose said it will be treated effluent. Before when trucking was done it was raw sewage. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Spaeth's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, directed the City Manager to direct staff to continue to work on the wastewater plant, try to resolve the trucking matter, and go to regulatory agencies. (4-3 Vote, Councilmembers Duncan, Rose and Shipman voted No.) WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY The Council, on Councilmember Spaeth's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, adopted a resolution authorizing the construction of a 1.6 MGD Wastewater Treatment Facility. (7-0 Vote) PUBLIC EVENT FACILITY RATE SCHEDULE The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 820923-U (Public Event Facility Rate Schedule) to include minor adjustments to various fees. (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Spaeth out of the room.) OAK HILL WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's second, adopted a resolution to enter into a contract for project management services for design and construction of the Oak Hill Water System Improvements. (7-0 Vote) AUSTIN CIVIC CENTER Council had before them a resolution to consider approval of selection of a consultant to provide the City of Austin with consultant services for Phase I of the Austin Civic Center. Mayor Mullen said the prime recommendation is ROMA. Joe Jerkins, said "we need to get on with this and do a feasibility study right away." Will Davis of the Coalition for Civic and Conservation Center, said there should be no further delay in starting on the Civic Center. 1 Council Memo 13 Motion 10/25/84 Councilmember Duncan made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Spaeth to select the secondary recommendation Skidmore, Owens and Morrow. Merrill Substitute Motion - DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND Councilmember Shipman offered a substitute motion to select ROMA as recommended by staff. There was no second to the motion.

Marie 'Gaines, OLDS, said there is a valid petition because this area is a "viable residential enclave". She said staff recommends Council consider "BB". Charles Nemir, O.H. Radke, Susan Frost and John Browning opposed the zoning change. Craig Campbell said the integrity of the neighborhood is already destroyed by previous zoning. (On Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Duncan's second, 6-0 Vote, Councilmember Rose out of the room.) RECESS 'Council recessed its meeting at 4:30 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 4:40 p.m. : : Council Memo 14 PUBLIC HEARING POSTPONED 10/25/84 The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, postponed the following public hearing until November 8, 1984 at 2:15 p.m.: (7-0 Vote) Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 13-2) of the Austin City Code permitting berm signs in "BB" or less restrictive districts and providing a definition and development standards for berm signs.

Approved site plan subject to providing an alternate access to Riverplace and closing eaternmost access nearest Riverplace. GRANT AS RECOMMENDED AND ACCEPT KECOMMENDATION OF TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT (see following page) Council Memo ZONING - (Continued) 15 10/25/84 Marie Gaines reviewed the application. Ms. Donna Kristaponis, representing the applicant, also reviewed. Councilmember Shipman said she will vote to deny because she does not think there should be retail development on FM 2222. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Rose's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, voted to grant as recommended by the Planning Commission. (5-2 Vote, Councilmembers Duncan and Shipman voted No.) Motion to Reconsider The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, voted to reconsider the motion. (7-0 Vote) Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, accepted the recommendation of the Urban Transportation Department and granted the zoning change. (5-2 Vote, Councilmembers Duncan and Shipman voted No.) FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS of Urban Transportation Department A large percentage of the traffic attracted to this site would use RM 2222 as a major means of access. The projected additional traffic, while substantially increasing the 24 hour traffic volumes, would not impact peak perfod traffic flow on RM 2222. As shown in Figure 3, the peak period turning movements can be accomodated within the available gaps in traffic. Even with the overall increase, there would be adequate capacity on this road. : It is impossible to analyze the impact of increased traffic on Bonaventure Drive and Riverplace Blvd. since the Council Memo ZONING (Continued). 16 10/25/84 committed traffic (from Riverplace subdivision) is unknown. both roadways are being designed and constructed as major arterials and should accomodate the commercial traffic generated by the site. L It is anticipated that a traffic signal would eventually be installed at the intersection of RM 2222 and Riverplace Blvd.. This signal would provide additional gaps west of Riverplace as well as protected left-turns onto Riverplace. It is recommended that a left-turn lane be provided at this Intersection to provide left-turn storage and so as to not Impact the through capacity of the inside lane. In addition, the recommended Improvements for RM 2222, as identified in the Austin Metropolitan Roadway Plan, would insure increased through capacity and left-turn storage. In summary, the existing and planned area roadways can accomodate the anticipated traffic attracted to this proposed retall shopping center. While traffic volumes would Increase, there would still be adequate capacity to insure the smooth flow of through traffic. The sight distance and gaps in the traffic can provide for safe turning movements in and out of the site without affecting traffic operations.

Joseph of the Office of Land Development Services decision to deny a Waterway Development permit for 5510 N. IH 35. #84-06-4160. Mr. Joseph said they concur with staff recommendations. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, closed the public hearing and approved as recommended by staff. (see following) (7-0 Vote) We have reviewed the application and found that all other criteria for the issuance of a Waterway Development Permit have been met. There are several issues that need to be considered for this appeal. م 1. The new building is proposed to be constructed on pier and beams at an elevation seven (7) feet above the 100 year flood plain elevation. 2. The engineer for this project has certified and staff concurs, that there will be no additional adverse flooding of the surrounding property. 3. There will be no change in impervious cover on the site, because the proposed building will be built over an existing parking lot. : Council Memo APPEAL (Continued) 19 10/25/84 4. Proposition 19 of the recently approved 1984 City Bond Program includes funding for drainage improvements to the Tannehill Branch of Boggy Creek.
