Council Memo 9 11/8/84 Wastewater Treatment Facility Authorized the construction of a 1.6 MGD wastewater treatment facility. PUBLIC HEARING - NORTH TRAVIS MUD'S 1, 2 AND 3 Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 2:00 p.m. on North Travis County MUD's 1, 2 and 3. Mr. James B. Duncan, Director, Office of Land Development Services, reviewed the area of the proposed MUD's by means of a map. Jim Thompson, Director of Water and Wastewater, also reviewed the area. Mr. Terry Childers, Assistant City Manager, stated the density proposed by the MUD's appear to be, for single family housing, seven units per acre and for multi-family housing, 40 units to the acre, which appears to be some of the highest density seen to date. Mr. Childers also stated, "It is significant to note the opening of 20,000 to utility services will have a significant impact upon the City of Austin's infrastructure, such as roadways, schools, etc. We therefore suggest to the Council in an effort to try to deal with the development in the northeast area that it would be appropriate for staff to begin to look at a comprehensive growth management strategy for the area that would look at and make recommendations to you as far as land use, including density of development, roadway system, financial data with alternative ways to provide private capital, utility service and particularly the impact of proposed relocation of the airport, even to the extent of industrial location. You are scheduled to make your final decision on the North Travis County MUD's November 29th of this year. We believe we can undertake such a growth management strategy for this area and be able to come back to you in 90 days with some recommendations if you direct the staff to do so." Councilmember Shipman had questions about the amount of bonds issued. Linda Wiegman, Assistant City Attorney, said the 120 day review starts when the petition is filed and it only has to include the name of the district, boundary, a statement of the general nature of the work to be done by the district and an estimated cost. In this case she said she does not know if any of the items have changed since the petition does not have to be very specific. ...Our City Ordinance does not provide for changes to the initial filing causing the initial filing to start again. Councilmember Shipman had expressed concern because changes can be made up to the last hour of the 120 day period. Council works on something, approves it, and then it (MUD) can be changed. Ms. Wiegman said the State law differs from the City law. She said we need to amend the Water District Procedure Ordinance and that is in the process already and should be coming to Council shortly. She said that would clarify what will occur if items that are submitted to the City change. .... Council Memo MUD's - (Continued) 10 11/8/84 Ed Wendler, representing the applicant, said "when we file something we negotiate with the staff and the changes that are made that bring about the problem are not unilateral on our part. They are changes brought about by Commission action, staff action, the boards action, etc. So, to say we have to start over because during the negotiation process we had to change something is really quite unfair. ....We have to come back to Council for each individual issue of bonds so if some board in some district somewhere authorized an election somewhere in an amount in excess of your authority that really doesn't mean anything because they would still have to come back here to get your approval for each and every issue of bonds." Mr. Wendler said the ordinance should be amended so there is a pre-filing period. He said the high density proposed will keep the costs low. Tom Miller, land planner, discussed the proposed development and said that it will be on 290. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said an area is needed for human services. Mr. Wendler said there will be one. Also, the houses will be in the $70,000 price range, which is the lowest price housing being built in Austin. Jim Duncan, Office of Land Development Services, said there should be an agreement that a certain amount of the houses be really affordable by costing less than $70,000 and that there will be parks and playgrounds. Mary Arnold said the proposed development wants City services and that is an advantage to the developer and a disadvantage to the City. She said the proposed MUD's are in Growth Area V where there is limited wastewater and water on the site so the City can deny this request. Jeannette Klotz, North Growth Corridor Alliance, said she supports staff recommendation of the land use plan. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's second, closed the public hearing. Staff is to continue to negotiate. (7-0 Vote) PUBLIC HEARING - SOUTHERN UNION GAS RATES Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 2:15 p.m. on adoption of a residential conservation service rate for Southern Union Gas Company. Jerry Lawson noted that we will have the most progressive program of conservation gas rate in the State of Texas. No one else appeared to speak. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Shipman's second, closed the public hearing, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance adopting a residential conservation service rate for Southern Union Gas Company. (7-0 Vote) Council Memo PUBLIC HEARING - 11 BERM SIGNS 11/8/84 Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 2:15 p.m. on an 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. Marie Gaines, OLDS reviewed. No one else appeared to speak. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Shipman's second, closed the public hearing, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance amending 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. (7-0 Vote) ITEM PULLED The public hearing scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on amendments to Chapter 13-2 (Zoning Ordinance) to regulate development along R.R. 620, was pulled from the agenda. It will be heard after the northwest plan is resolved. PUBLIC HEARING - DEVELOPMENT ALONG R.R. 2244 Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 2:30 p.m. on Amendments to Chapter 13-2 (Zoning Ordinance) to regulate development along R.R. 2244. Judy Fowler, sub-committee member of Planning Commission study of 2244, said their proposal is similar to the 2222 Ordinance. A11 the zoning will be no more intense than "LR". She went on to describe the limits and boundaries of the ordinance. PUBLIC HEARING - MOORE'S CROSSING MUD Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 2:45 p.m. on Moore's Crossing MUD. : Jim Duncan, director of OLDS, explained Moore's crossing is southeast of Bergstrom AFB and showed the area on a map. He said the area is critical in relation to Bergstrom. Tim Knapp, Civil Engineer Squadron at Bergstrom AFB, said they want to prevent a medium or high density residential development from being so close to Bergstrom. The runways, with their high noise level, and the area. has crash potential. The health and safety of the citizens needs to be protected, therefore the land use guidelines Council Memo 12 MOORE'S CROSSING - (Continued) 11/8/84 for local, Department of Defense and HUD should be adhered to. Knapp said if this development is approved, it will attract more development and good zoning controls are not in effect. Mr. Col. Dave Muermeyer, Assistant Director of Operations, Bergstrom AFB, explained the runways and the noise. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said growth in that area will occur, but he does not want anything which will be detrimental to the area or to Berstrom. Jim Thompson, Director of Water and Wastewater, spoke about the water available and said connection to the Onion Creek Interceptor will be a problem. Ed Wendler, representing the applicant, said there will be schools built in the MUD area. Brad Burns, land planner, showed roadway plans and said residential use could be in the entire zone. David Gray, engineer, discussed the utilities in the area and showed charts of sewage, water, storm drainge, etc. MUD. Tony Bagwell, economist with Espey-Huston, discussed the proposed Sarah Farley, Management and Budget, said if the City annexes the MUD "we will not have enough revenue to assume the debt". Mary Arnold questioned the water and wastewater limited source in the area. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, closed the public hearing. (7-0 Vote) RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 4:10 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 4:26 p.m. Council Memo 13 PUBLIC HEARING - 11/8/84 ST. ELMO ROAD AREA STUDY Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 3:15 p.m. on the St. Elmo Road Area Study. Jim Duncan, director of OLDS, showed slides of the area. Jack Allison, who lives in Kensington Park, said he does not want to be surrounded by industrial use. Scott Roberts, representing the applicant, discussed the area. Gaye Ruggiano, who owns 44 acres, which could be zoned industrial, does not want to be denied the right of that zoning. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Urdy's motion, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's second, closed the public hearing and accepted the report.

He said it will be a 15 member joint commission, seven members appointed by the City Council, five members appointed by the County Commissioners of Travis County, two members appointed jointly by all of the other incorporated areas such as Pflugerville, Manor, etc., and one chair person that would be a joint appointment by the County Commissioners and the City Council of Austin. Councilmember Rose said the Commissioner's Court will also pass the resolution and be willing to pay their share of any budget that a joint commission would incur. Council Memo JOINT COMMISSION (Continued) 18 Motion 11/8/84 Councilmember Rose made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Duncan to adopt a resolution creating a Joint Commission on Metropolitan Government to study the feasibility of creating a metropolitan government. Councilmember Duncan expressed his pleasure at the prospect of creating a joint government. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said he accepts the concept of metro government and talked about this with the County back in 1975-76. He said he had been asked to convey to Council in setting up the Commission to give consideration for members of our own Legislature without whose help we won't be able to get off the ground. "I was asked whether the Council would consider expanding the Commission size to possibly include the State Representatives and the Senator or perhaps limit it to a delegation from the State House." Councilmember Rose said he had been asked the same question and was aware of where we would have to go and the support we would need. He said all of the people vote so they are all represented and he feels there would be a problem if the legislators were also sitting on the commission. Councilmember Rose discussed joint meetings, but in terms of the day to day working of the commission he does not feel that delegation should be on there, any more than all of the Councilmembers and all of the Commissioners should be on there. Councilmember Duncan said he agreed. Mayor Mullen said they should clarify whether any of the members of the Commission should be elected officials. He said he prefers that there be no elected officials on the commission. Councilmember Shipman agreed. Mayor Mullen said he also recommends, "If other entities don't wish to, up front, commit to paying their fair share of the expenses, that they will not have any say in the new appointments." Friendly Amendment Accepted Councilmember Rose accepted the friendly amendment offered by Mayor Mullen: If other entities do not wish to commit to paying their fare share of the expenses, they will have no voice in the new appointments. Roll Call on Motion with Friendly Amendment 7-0 Vote Council Memo 19 11/8/84 NO ACTION No action was taken by Council on Mr. Michael Guarino's request for Council's permission to install storm windows on a test structure or home of the City's choice (at no charge) to evaluate their effectiveness. ITEM POSTPONED Mr. John Meinrath's request for exemption from Ordinance No. 840419-G Mockingbird Hill building permit moratorium was postponed until November 15, 1984. ORDINANCE AMENDED The Council, on Councilmember Spaeth's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, approved the request of Ms. Sharon Warner and waived the requirement for three readings to finally pass an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 840726-PP providing a new section 3 thereof. (5-2 Vote, Councilmembers Duncan and Shipman voted No.) ZONING HEARINGS CONTINUED Mayor Mullen announced Council would continue hearing zoning cases which were pulled for discussion. Council heard, closed the public hearings, granted and directed the City Attorney to draw the necessary ordinances on the following: C14 -84 G.A. AND LEONA 313 MCNEIL By David B.

Motion The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Rose's second, granted the staff recommendation, "0" Ist H&A. (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Duncan absent.) Ms. Kristaponis said she understood when the property was sold the City said the site plan had to be approved by the Planning Commission and the Council. "Our request would be, since we have submitted a 1st H&A site plan that meets ordinance requirements, that is the preference of the neighborhood association, would the Council object to putting on their agenda next week consideration removing that covenant and allowing us to proceed with the site plan?" Gaines stated "We'll have to check the agreement to make sure there wasn't any notification requirments and if there isn't and the contract is all clear, we will be happy to put it back on the agenda."
