By T. J. Morton From Interim "A" 1st H&A To "O" 2nd H&A RECOMMENDED APPROVED SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: Council Memo 12 7/18/85 (Motion made by Mayor Pro Tem Trevino and seconded by Councilmember Urdy, 5-1-0 Vote, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell voted No, Council- member Shipman absent) "Move approval of the project schematic plans and associated zoning subject to: - - re-negotiation of the lease on terms acceptable to the City as it relates to term of lease and re-evaluation periods contingent on Highway Department - approval of the turn-around lanes, before the - - beginning of construction of the second building construction of turn-around lanes must be completed before issuance of Certificate of Occupancy of Phase 3 letter of credit will be required for all public improvements at the time of plat approval Also approved was the following RESOLUTION: The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, adopted a resolution approving Schematic Plans submitted by Mr. S. Thurman Blackburn, III, President, Retention, Enhancement, and Reclamation Company. (5-1-0 Vote, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell voted No, Councilmember Shipman absent.) Mr. Jim Duncan, Director of OLDS, reviewed the application. Mr. Stockton, Deputy Director of Urban Transportation, said the proposed driveways onto the access to Steck Avenue, can operate without undo hazard. Richard Ridings, Director of Public Works, said his department has reviewed the drainage situation and there will be an increase of 30% in detention on the tract. Councilmember Carl-Mitchell told Council this is very intense development and the traffic projection should be taken into consideration concerning the intense use of Steck Avenue at that area of MoPac. Jack Morton, representing Retention, Enhancement and Reclamation Co., said they will reduce the AFR to .9 and the traffic improvements will be phased in. Pat Sullivan, Shoal Creek Neighborhood Association, spoke against the development. She said they object because the land is City owned. There were no bids taken from other developers. She asked Council, "Is it wrong to have a greenbelt?" Ms. Sullivan also expressed concern about using detention ponds with a huge complex on each side. She said the planned buildings are too tall; she wondered how equipment can Council Memo 13 7/18/85 be gotten on the site and where the workers will park. She wondered what protection there will be from the rains and discussed the already. bumper. to bumper traffic and what the impact would be on that. She concluded the project is not in the best interest of the community. Phyllis Brinkley, Allendale Steering Committee, stated the noise, exhaust and traffic hazard will add up to a considerable neighborhood impact situation. Frank Hoods, Allendale Steering Committee, asked Council to deny the zoning change. He fears that the holding ponds will be disturbed due to increase in impervious cover. Mr. Hoods also discussed the traffic increase. Mary Kaiser, Allendale Neighborhood Association, said there will be a 33% increase in traffic and cars will circumvent the clogged soads and go through the neighborhood. She also said Shoal Creek will flood because of disturbance of detention ponds. She also asked how the detention ponds will be safeguarded. Stan Forn, Balcones Civic Association, spoke against the intense zoning. John German, Balcones Civic Association, told Council there are traffic problems in that area now and they will get worse. There will be no access to the buildings except from the frontage road and the prime areas for getting in and out of the northwest are Spicewood and Steck. He said the development will generate an additional 4000 cars a day at the intersection and there are 15,000 cars now. He said 1000' of the frontage road would be needed for a usable "U". turn. - Nick Brown, Balcones Civic Association, discussed the crowded situation which would arise from the development and said the MoPacSteck area is overcrowded now. Bob Leonard, Balcones Civic Association, said this zoning would be illegal and invalid spot zoning. He said there are a lot of office buildings in other areas and taxes will be paid to the City from them. He spoke of the traffic impact to the neighborhood. Gwen Lomah, Balcones Civic Association, spoke against the zoning change and asked all those in the audience who opposed the zoning to stand. Jack Morton presented his rebuttal and spoke of the four phases to the building, which will total 297,000 square feet. Mayor Cooksey asked about the RFP process for the site. Mr. Ridings told him this was discussed originally but the developer felt building over detention ponds was his original idea and felt it is proper for Council to approve an option agreement. Council Memo 14 7/18/85 Mr. Ridings said, "We do not bid a lease, we negotiate." Mayor Cooksey asked about construction and how the detention ponds will be handled during construction. Mr. Ridings told him this can be done much like bridge construction. Mayor Cooksey asked about traffic and the 1000' additionally needed for approach to turn-around lane. Mr. Stockton told him there are dozens of turn-arounds and an appropriate approach can be done. Mr. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked if a 99 year lease is usual. Jorge Carrasco, City Manager, told him that terms generally call for 10% of the property value with a re-evaluation every five years. Ridings said a 25 year lease is usual. Mayor Cooksey asked if the terms of the lease will come back to Council. Mr. Ridings stated the option has been signed and if it is agreeable they will enter into the contract. Councilmember Carl-Mitchell asked if .6 can be used. Mr. Morton told him it would not be economically feasible. Councilmember CarlMitchell asked if U-turns will be needed if the construction area is reduced to .6. Mike McIntyre, road planner, told him the effects of the golden triangle in the immediate vicinity have not been accounted for. Motion - Died for Lack of Second Councilmember Carl-Mitchell made a motion to DENY the zoning application. There was no second to the motion. Motion - Died for Lack of Second Mayor Pro Tem Trevino made a motion for re-negotiations. was no second to the motion. Recess Council recessed its meeting at 5:50 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 6:20 p... There At this point the motion was made as quoted on page 12 of this report. Councilmember Carl-Mitchell asked "how will we move traffic on MoPac and surrounding neighborhood?" He said traffic concerns are a key issue in this case. Mr. Carl-Mitchell also said there are too many office projects and thinks this one, if approved, would be more appropriate with FRA .6. He said comprehensive planning needs to be addressed. Council Memo ZONING POSTPONED 15 7/18/85 Postponed until August 8, 1985 is zoning hearing for change submitted by Larry Beard, 100-300 E. Rundberg, C14-85-071. The hearing is scheduled for 4:00 Ρ.Μ.

Council Memo 16 7/18/85 Rick Meyer, Chairman, Historical Landmark Commission, said they oppose the structure. He said he does not want to encourage development in the National Register District, but wants to encourage re-development. He feels the proposed structure is too large for East 6th Street. Councilmember Urdy stated the scale of the proposed building is in accordance with the existing zoning and does not understand the opposition. Bert Cromack read a letter from Betty Phillips, who opposes the construction of the building. Jim Fowler, Historic Landmark Commission, and Susan Frost, Austin Preservation Alliance, both spoke in opposition to the structure. Councilmember Rose said he feels the structure is appropriate. Mayor Cooksey said he feels the transition is architecturally pleasing, but that he will not vote for any more high rises on East 6th from Brazos to IH 35. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Rose's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, granted the appeal and approved the Certificate of Appropriateness, with no tax abatement, and designed so it will not encroach into the Capitol View Corridor.
