Urdy Jorge Carrasco City Manager Elden Aldridge City Clerk Council Chambers, 307 West Second Street, Austin, Texas Memorandum To: Mayor Cooksey called to order the meeting of the Council, noting the presence of all Councilmembers. MINUTES APPROVED The Council, on Councilmember Humphrey's motion, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's second, approved the minutes of the regular meeting of January 23, 1986 and special meetings of January 14, January 21 (4:00 P.M.) and January 21, 1986 (5:30 P.M.) (4-0 Vote, Councilmember Urdy, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino and Councilmember Rose out of the room.) CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS Mr. John Joseph discussed applicability of 13-2 and 13-2(A) to the construction of signs incident to pre-existing zoning and site plan approval. Mr. Robert J. Kleeman discussed ordinances imposing standards for signs. Mr. Philip F. Parry discussed real property or homestead and ordinance violations. Mr. John Sloan did not appear. Mr. James Austin Pinedo discussed Roadway C.I.P. Project in the Bouldin Creek Neighborhood. Mr. Conley Giles discussed construction on Daniel Drive. Mr. Dan L. Harrison discussed process of writing contract for performance of study on Conservation vs. the South Texas Nuclear Project. Council Memo 2 1/30/86 Mr. David Armbrust discussed amending the Subidivision Ordinance as it regards fiscal requirements. Mr. Daniel Traverso and Mr. Robert Meisel discussed extension of the March 1, 1986 deadline of the Grandfather Clause of the Zoning Ordinance. POLICY ON LAKE AUSTIN SHORELINE PROPERTIES Council had before them an ordinance to consider declaring a policy on the matter of the Lake Austin shoreline properties. At first there was some discussion as to which version to approve. Mayor Cooksey read the version for approval. The ordinance concerns putting properties on the tax roll. Mr. Terry Irion, representing several of the landowners of shoreline properties, said the property was placed on the 1984 tax rolls in error. Councilmember Rose said he would abstain from discussion and vote because there is a question whether or not the water district he has interest in would fall into the category of being conflict of interest in this matter, therefore, he said he would abstain. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked Mr. Isham to speak to his memo concerning this item and its legal ramifications. Paul Isham, City Attorney, said there are several risks if Council passes the ordinance. He said a property owner may decide he wants to pay taxes and receive services. A big risk would be, if the ordinance is passed, a taxpayer within the City limits of Austin could bring a suit against the City saying all taxes in the City are not equal. Discussion followed by members of the Council. Mayor Cooksey said the purpose of the ordinance is to return the property in question to its ante bellum state before change of policy. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said he would vote against the ordinance because of the advice of the attorney. Councilmember Urdy asked if the action of the Council would remove the properties from the tax rolls. Mr. Irion told him "No, the property owners would have to petition the Tax Appraisal Board." 1 Motion Councilmember Shipman made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Humphrey to waive the requirement for three readings and finally pass an ordinance declaring a policy on the matter of the Lake Austin shoreline properties. Council Memo 3 1/30/86 Roll Call on Motion 4-2-0 Vote, Mayor Pro Tem and Councilmember Urdy voted No, Councilmember Rose abstained. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino noted this would not pass on through all three readings since there were only four votes favoring, therefore he said he would change his vote, even though he feels they should follow the advice of the City Attorney, in order to get the ordinance passed. Councilmember Urdy agreed. Motion to Reconsider Councilmember's motion to reconsider, seconded by Councilmember Shipman, passed by a vote of 7-0. Roll Call on Motion 6-0 Vote, Councilmember Rose abstained.

The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Rose's second, approved preparing a Request for Proposal for study of innovative wastewater treatment technology. (6-0 Vote, Mayor Cooksey absent.) 1 Council Memo 8 1/30/86 ITEMS POSTPONED Postponed until February 6, 1986 were the following items: 1. 2. 3. Consider consenting to the creation of the Moore's Crossing Municipal Utility District. Consider consenting to the creation of the North Travis County Municipal Utility Districts 1-3. Consider consenting to the creation of the Decker Creek Municipal Utility Districts 1-5. NORTHWEST AREA LAND USE GUIDANCE PLAN The Council, on Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's motion, Councilmember Rose's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance amending the Northwest Area Land Use Guidance Plan by establishing a corridor for higher intensity uses and providing a method for determining equivalent uses, as amended. (7-0 Vote) MUNICIPAL OFFICE COMPLEX Council had a discussion of the Municipal Office Complex. Mayor Cooksey said the proposed option agreement with Watson-Casey is unviable in its present form. There is a question of more space needed. He said the City needs a frugal building making use of all of the City's land and the Council should look at a new land use plan that maximizes all our resources, He asked Council to consider use of the three blocks of land, City-owned, as a PUD and ground lease land. The two blocks on either side of the block where a new municipal office complex will be built should be developed in four different units. Mayor Cooksey stated, "As a PUD we can acquire certain things. We need an office building on this space. An open square is no longer possible for frugality reasons. We need either to have a ground lease or sell 1/2 block north and the other 1/4 block for money. This should be done in order to create a reserve for City building and we should not build until we have enough money so there will be no impact on taxpayers for the City of Austin. In the meantime, we could have a five year lease on a new building being erected where several departments could be in one place. I suggest a work session in the near future on these suggestions." Councilmember Rose said he generally agrees and said we won't have a new City Hall unless we do it as private/public venture. Councilmember Shipman said a year ago in December WatsonCasey had been approved unanimously but now the option agreement has been looked at by a law firm who recommends against an option agreement. She said a PUD with ground leases would be a good idea. Council Memo 9 1/30/86 Council discussed looking at other options. Councilmember Urdy wondered where the City could look for other property. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino reminded Council a sub-committee had been appointed to study the Municipal Office Complex and a report has never been made to Council by the sub-committee. "Are we going to abandon everything?" Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked. City Manager Carrasco said his office has met with the developer concerning financing but they have not devised any specific plans and the same fundamental options are still open. City Attorney Isham said the oral arguments concerning the El Paso case will be in March concerning tax increment financing and that the method may ultimately be approved by the Supreme Court. Councilmember Humphrey said Council should vote on a new office complex "today". Mayor Cooksey told him Council was not ready for any motions and that a work session is needed. A work session was set for Tuesday, February 4, 1986 at 4:00 Ρ.Μ. LAKELAND JOINT VENTURE First Boding The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem/Trevino's Trevino's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, passed through SECOND READING of an ordinance amending Chapter 13-2 and 13-2(A) of the Austin City Code (Zoning Ordinance) to cover the following changes: (4-3 Vote, Councilmembers Carl-Mitchell, Humphrey and Shipman voted No.) LAKELAND JOINT VENTURE 2305,2411, 2715 R.M.

Friendly Amendment Councilmember Shipman stated, "What is the distance on the rear property line as we discussed as an "RR" strip that would trigger compatibility standards for any future development on that adjoining tract? 25', Ο.Κ. In our discussions we referenced the 25'. The compatibility standards are the same for "RR" as they are for the Interim "SF-2". You have already met the compatibility standards. This will trigger them in the event the "SF-2" that is undeveloped comes in for more intensive use. It will help the neighborhood in the long term. Would you add that to your motion, accept it as a friendly amendment?" Councilmember Urdy said, "25" buffer on the east side of the tract which is adjacent to undeveloped...that 25' strip would be zoned 'RR'," and accepted the friendly amendment.
