The Planning Commission approved the relocation unanimously. Mrs. Bess Hardin said she is not against the church, but is against the traffic it would create. She said there are a lot of Council Memo 11 children in the area and no sidewalks. 2/27/86 Della Green told Council there is not enough room for parking and said there should be some kind of traffic control if a church is allowed. A man who did not identify himself said the park at the end of the street was not used by children, but by wino's. Mary Forte said she is not against the church and pointed out there will only be an increase in traffic once a week, on Sunday. Pastor Brown, Loyalty Baptist Church, told Council a church is needed in the neighborhood. Pastor Glasco, Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church, told Council they will help the neighborhood. Councilmember Urdy asked if the street was being upgraded and Richard Ridings, Director of Public Works, said it would be. Councilmember Urdy said the problem is the street, not the location of a church there. He said the church should not suffer, the Sunday traffic will not be too great, and the City should improve the street. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Urdy's motion, Councilmember Humphrey's second, voted to DENY the appeal. (5-0 Vote, Councilmember Rose was out of the room, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino absent.) HEARING POSTPONED Postponed indefinitely was the public hearing scheduled for 3:45 p.m. on vacating a portion of William Cannon Drive right-of-way at Deatonhill as dedicated in Volume 5748, Page 834 of Travis County Real Property Records. (Request submitted by Mr. James M. Nias) SOLICITATION BOARD REPORT Mr. Greg Monroe, chairperson, Solicitation Board, reported to Council their recommendations on proposed revisions to the Solicitation Ordinance. He said they would like to have the City Clerk issue an interim permit until the Board has a meeting. Another point concerns applications. If the application is filled out erroneously, the Board should be allowed to issue an interim permit and then correct the original. When a permit is denied the Board would like the applicant to have the alternative to either go before the Board again or before the City Council. Mr. Monroe also stated "If a permit is denied we Council Memo 12 2/27/86 would like the Legal Department to determine if our turn-down is legal and in the meantime issue an interim permit." Mr. Monroe also said they would prefer to have financial statements one time a year rather than four times a year. Mayor Cooksey said the recommendations sound good, except the recommendation that the Board goes to court each time it denies a permit. Mayor Cooksey said he did not think the courts would approve of that idea. The Mayor asked that a public hearing be set for March 20, 1986 at 4:30 p.m. and an ordinance be ready to adopt if Council so chooses.

Motion The Council, on Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's motion, Councilmember Rose's second, closed the public hearing. (5-0 Vote, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino and Councilmember Humphrey absent.) PUBLIC HEARING - REVISED ZONING ORDINANCE Mayor Cooksey opened the public hearing set for 7:00 p.m. on amending Chapter 13-2A of the Austin City Code (Revised Zoning Regulations) amending Section 1051 thereof to provide for the extension of the March 1, 1986 deadline for action set forth therein with reference to certain property adversely impacted by City policy or ordinance subsequent to March 1, 1984. Marie Gaines, Office of Land Development Services, stated: "This is an amendment heard by the Zoning Oversight Committee and was not recommended. This amendment speaks to the March 1st date for properties that were located within the Govalle Service Area and were zoned 3rd height and area. In addition to that, for properties that had difficulty in obtaining the determination of Capitol views. The Zoning Oversight Committee looked at this amendment and suggested the neither of these amendments take place. They felt there was substantial time. At the Planning Commission public hearing there was no one there to speak to this hearing and no one advocating either of these amendments to be passed. The Commission is recommending that you postpone this case indefinitely, and basically shelve both of these amendments. The proposed amendment would, in effect, add Section d and we concur with that position and think it would be appropriate to shelve it." William Hold owns a small piece of property at 3630 North Hills Drive, which he uses as an office. He wants to build a 6500 square foot addition which would match the existing building and will be the last addition possible on the piece of property. Plans conform to the ordinances. Mr. Hold said there is a question of which time frames apply and so he has not filed yet but has done everything he knows how to do to comply. He asked Council to pass the resolution and help those who are caught in a difference of opinion. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second closed the public hearing and postponed action indefinitely. (4-0 Vote, Councilmember Urdy out of the room, Councilmember Humphrey and Mayor Pro Tem Trevino absent.) Council Memo DEADLINE FOR DEVELOPMENT 17 2/27/86 The Council, on Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's motion, Councilmember Shipman's second, adopted a resolution expressing the intent of the City Council to extend the March 1, 1986 deadline for certain development projects.
