Regular Council Meeting :.

Page 13
Mr. McDowell explained the purpose of the public hearing and stated that the
Staff would offer testimony from the City Engineer and evaluation testimony from a real
estate appraiser to substantiate the assessments which appear on the Preliminary Assessment
Roll, and that the hearing was to form a basis on which the Council; acting as a legislative
body, would determine or establish the assessments on the abutting properties.
Mr. David M. Coover, attorney and counsel for certain property owners present
for this hearing, asked if the proceedings would include a complete verbatim transcript of
the hearing, and was advised by City Manager Townsend that the quality of the equipment
and clerical provisions complies with the requirements usually employed for the taking of
minutes of the Council proceedings and the recording of same.
James K. Lantos, City Engineer, testified as to his qualifications as an
engineer, and presented the plans for the street improvements and the preliminary assessment
roll, stating that the roll which is in the hands of members of the Council at this time is a
revised assessment roll and not the same as the one which was released to the property owners
prior to the hearing; testified as to the nature, extent and specifications of the proposed
improvements; stated that the total contract price for the project is $140,066.15 as compared
to the total contract price of $113,726.90 in 1963; that the total property owner assessment
is $80,976.34, and that the City's portion is $59,089.81; explained the manner in which
such pro rato share was computed. Mr. Lantos gave a brief history of the paving project,
stating that in 1963 the original proposal was to improve North Staples between Antelope
and Kinney; that a public hearing was held and a contract awarded; that the proposed width
at that time was 41 feet measured from back of curbs; that it was then the desire of the
property owners to have a wider street, and since then a new bond election was held and'
approved and the new proposed width is 60 feet measured from back of curbs providing for
four moving lanes and two parking lanes. 'Mr. Lantos stated the assessments have been revised
since 1963 based on revised prices which are the result of increased quantities and prices of -
materials needed for the wider street, and that this change order has been submitted to the
contractor; stated that in 1963, no credit was allowed for existing curbs and sidewalks because
of deterioration, but that it is felt now that some credit should be given inasmuch as some of
the facilities are in fair condition.

Property owners in the audience were given the opportunity to question
Mr. Lantos as to the construction aspects of the project. Mr. E. Pena, Mr. H. Sheinberg,
Mr, Jessie Pampa, Mr. Frank Sovey, Mr. Ashley Johnson, representing himself and his
Mother, Clara Johnson, and Mr, Dave Coover, representing the Frank Cech and J. E. Smothers
properties, all questioned Mr. Lantos as to their specific pieces of property regarding width,
allowance for existing improvements, loading and parking provisions.
Mr. Harold Carr, real estate appraiser and City's expert witness, testified as
to his background and experience which he felt qualified him as a real estate appraiser for
all types of properties in this City; testified that he had personally viewed and understood
the extent and specifications of the proposed improvements; stated that he had personally
viewed the preliminary assessment roll and each of the properties to be assessed, and that
he found most all the property being used for industrial and commercial purposes; that some
railroad tracts remain at the south end of the project; that the street as a whole is in very
poor condition; that the paving is very rough, narrow and broken in many places, and in
many instances, no sidewalks, and that the street generally is considered one of the worst
commercial streets in the City. He further stated that most of the lots are 150 feet deep,
some are 100 feet, and some are 50 or less feet deep, and that he feels the assessment should
be reduced when the lots are substantially less than the standard depth in proportion to its
depth. He stated that in his opinion, each of the properties so assessed would be enhanced
in value at least to the extent of the proposed assessments, with certain exceptions, which
he stated he would specifically point out during the hearing as each property appeared on
the assessment roll, as follows:
Item 03, E. Pena Mr. Pena stated he has good driveways and sidewalks, for
which he felt he deserved some credit; stated he did not like the reduced width of the street
in front of his property; felt the assessment was too high, and did not feel it would benefit
his property because of lack of uniformity in the width of the rest of the street.

Item #4, Raymundo Longoria - The daughter of Mr. Longoria, deceased, spoke
on behalf of her father's estate and stated her objections were identical to those of Mr. Pena;
that she felt the cost was excessive, and that she could not see how the proposed improvements
could possible benefit this portion of the street,
Item #5, H. Sheinberg & Mrs. A. Cohen - Relative to this item, Mr. Carr
stated he would recommend an estimated reduction of 70 percent, (using 100 foot lot as a
standard basis) on this property based on its 50 -foot depth. Mr. Sheinberg stated he felt
his 50 -foot lot was worthless and would not be benefited, but that he would be satisfied if
it could be reduced 50 percent.
Item #14, Frank Cech, and Item #31, Frank Estate - Mr. Dave Coover spoke
on behalf of and as counsel for these two properties.. He requested detailed clarification of
the assessment roll furnished the property owners and the one being used in this hearing. The
revised roll was explained and clarified to Mr. Coover's satisfaction. Mr. Coover engaged
Mr. Carr in a lengthy question and answer period in which he attempted to prove that "if a
property owner possesses a parking, loading or unloading facility, and by virtue of the new
improvements this facility, his right, is taken away from him, will the value of his property
be diminished and not enhanced ?" He further attempted to prove that the business in question
is not the type to warrant sidewalk or walk -in trade of a retail nature; that this street is
adequate to conduct this type business and could be operated on any type of street, and on
that basis questioned Mr. Carr's statement that the improvements would enhance the value of
the property to the extent of the assessment. He asked Mr. Carr to state whether or not he
had appraised, as to market value per front foot, each and every piece of property, and
Mr. Carr stated that he had examined each piece of property on generalities and not specifics;
that he was not engaged to attempt to estimate appraisal values of each piece of property on
Specifics, but to attempt to estimate the enhancement of each piece of property as a result
of the proposed improvements, and that his statement that the subject property would be
enhanced to the amount of the assessment was based on the determination that the property
is wholly commercial and industrial, has a 300 -foot frontage, and therefore, would receive
all the benefits of the proposed improvements; stated that it had been clearly pointed out

in the hearing that back -up type loading and unloading would not be permitted after these
improvements were completed; that some types of businesses should have off - street parking,
but that the City has the right to control head -in parking procedures; and that the project
only allows.driveways of a determined width which is within the Council's power to change.
Attorney McDowell objected to the questioning, stating that it had become
repetitious; that the matter of "right" is a legal question and does not come within the
process of this hearing; that Mr. Carr has been engaged as an appraiser to estimate the
amount of the enhancement, and that the issue of property rights as described by Mr. Coover,
is not the issue; that the Council has no authority, nor is it attempting to acquire property by
this procedure, and that Mr. Coover's hypothetical question should be clarified as to what
"right" he is talking obout; that it has not been shown inthis hearing that a property "right"
is being taken. Mr. McDowell pointed out that the City does have the right to limit ingress
and egress even when a street is not being improved.
City Manager Townsend stated that when the subject street is completed, it is
the recommendation of the Staff that the City exercise its police powers not to allow curbs
to be cutfor the purpose of providing loading and unloading facilities.
Mr. Coover again stated the question, "does the taking of this 'right' diminish
the value of the property ?" He stated he is concerned. solely with whether or not "this type
of improvement, by virtue of its wider width will deny a property owner parking privileges
other than parallel parking, and when and if he is stopped, does it diminish the value of his
property ?"
Mr. Carr stated some of Mr. Coover's questions involve eminent domain and
that he is not prepared to answer as they are not within the scope of this proceeding. Mr. Carr
stated the sidewalks, in general are in poor condition, but possibly some credit should be given;
that he would review these further. He stated that there are two driveways, but that one of
them is not being used as it is grown up with brush. He pointed out that it is his opinion that
this location is an ideal location for Mr, Cech's business, but that the improvements will generally
increase the real estate value of the property, and that if he were operating the business, he
would prefer to be on a paved street, and that it is still his opinion that the improvements will
enhance the property to at least the amount of the assessment.

Mr. Joe McManus, realtor, 509 North Water, stated he would have to agree ,
with Mr. Carr that the street is in bad condition, and that speaking in generalities, he would
agree that the improvements would improve the street, but that it had not been shown just
how the improvements would enhance the value of the specific piece of property, on the
basis that it has no walk -in trade, that a sizeable portion of the area in front of this business
is taken up by a bus stop which makes parking difficult, and that a "right" is being taken from
the owner.. He stated he has much respect for Mr. Carr's opinion, but stated that he deals in
markets every day, and it is his opinion that the majority of the people of Corpus Christi will
be greatly benefited, but that these merchants who will be paying for 65 percent of the assess-
ment, will not be benefited in that amount; that he feels it might be enhanced as much as
$5.00 per front foot, but that the taking away from industrial or commercial property the
right to back into his property and load or unload, would definitely diminish the value of the
property as much as $45.00 per front foot. .
Attorney McDowell at this point, cross - examined and questioned Mr. McManus
as to his qualifications as a real estate appraiser, and as to what he considered maximum use
of the property. Mr. McManus stated one of the major benefits for use of the property is the
privilege of unloading of trucks," and that the owner will be receiving a limited use if this
privilege is taken.
Items 020 & 21 & 34, Jack Smothers - Relative to these three properties,
Mr. Coover stated that the same arguments apply to the Smothers properties as the Cech pro-
perty, and stated that the paving will not enhance the value of the property as this type of
business can be successfully carried on on any kind of street. He asked that the records show
that the testimony relative to the Cech properties also applies to Item #34, J. E. Smothers.
Items #22 & 35, Johnson Lumber Company - Mr. Ashley Johnson, owner and
operator of property at Lot 11, Block 1, Mussett Addition, spoke on behalf of himself and
his mother, Mrs. Clara Johnson, owner of property described in Item #35. He read a letter
signed by Mrs. Johnson, asking that she be given consideration to the fact that she has been
previously assessed for paving of North Staples Street, and that she be given credit for this on
i
the new assessment. She alleged that the City has been negligent in keeping this street in

good repair, and that the responsibility has been shifted to the Railroad Company; stated that
she has repeatedly called the City to report the condition, and that other property owners
will verify this complaint. With regard to Item #22, Mr. Carr stated that this is a shallow
lot, and on that basis he would recommend that the assessment be reduced 52.47 percent
of the amount shown on the assessment roll. He stated that Mr. Johnson's property, listed
as Item #35, the depth will average about 100' in depth, and that he does not recommend
an adjustment on this tract, that he feels the property will realize the full benefit.
City Manager Townsend stated that to his knowledge the City has never given
credit for prior paving assessments.
Item #26, Sheinberg & Cohen Company -.Mr. Sheinberg questioned as to
why the assessments were the same on the narrow portion of the street as on the wider portion,
and stated that he is voicing his opposition to the amount of the assessment on that basis.
Mr. Carr stated that due to the shallowness of this lot he is recommending that
a reduction in the amount of 30 percent be allowed.
Item #28, Jessie G. and J. M. Pompa - Mr. Pompo stated he did not object
to the amount of the assessment, but stated that he has good sidewalks, curbs, and two drive-
ways, and asked that he be given credit for these improvements.
Item #37, W. A. Saunders - Mr. Carr recommended that the amount of this
assessment be adjusted to 80 percent rather than the 100 percent shown on the assessment roll.
Item #38, Frank Sovey - Mr. Sovey stated that he is not objecting to the amount
of the assessment, but that it is his understanding that the paving will be constructed up to his
front door, that after the improvements are completed, the canopy will extend out over the
street, and is concerned if he would be allowed to keep the canopy; stated that with his type
x: •
of business of keeping fresh fruits and vegetables, the canopy is essential and without it he
might as well close up the place. He further inquired as to how he would be able to get his
three trucks over the curb onto his property; that he needs 35 feet of space to back up the
trucks for loading and unloading, and that he will be compelled to drive over the sidewalks
t
to get into the property.

Mr. Lantos explained that parking and access to the properties is going to be
one of the basic problems, and that he would be glad to discuss the problem of Mr. Sovey's
canopy and access to the properties at any time after the hearing.
Mr. Carr stated that in view of the fact that Mr. Sovey's property is below
average depth, there should be a reduction of 72Ypercent of the figure shown on the assess-
ment roll on this property, and that the reduction would apply to all the proposed improve-
ments except the driveway.
No one else appeared to be heard in connection with the foregoing proposed
street improvements.
Motion by Bradley, seconded by Roberts and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Mayor Pro Tern Sizemore explained that conflicting opinions had been given by
qualified experts_that the matter will be taken under advisement and all objections and
recommended adjustments be given due consideration. _
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was
adjourned.

NORTH STAPLES STREET - KCNNEY TO I.H. 37
This project No. 220 -61 -50 is titled North Staples, Street Improvements
from Kinney Street to Interstate Highway 37.
This project is to be constructed by excavating to a width and depth to
permit the laying of standard six inch curb and gutter section, the in-
stallation of a pavement consisting of compacted aub- grade, twelve inches
of compacted caliche base, a prime coat, 22 inches of Type "A" Asphaltic
Concrete, 12 inches of Type "D" Asphaltic concrete surface, for a total
width of sixty feet measured from the back of the curbs.
Also to be constructed on this project: one reinforced concrete side-
walk, five feet wide, four inches thick, tied to the back of the curb,
concrete driveways as needed and as required by property owners, and
storm sewers as needed to drain the street.
All utilities shall be adjusted where required to properly facilitate
the street construction.
Assessment rates have been determined by using the unit prices taken
from the low bid submitted in 1963, and also the revised unit prices
as agreed upon by the Contractor and City by change order. The re-
vised unit prices resulted due to the increased or decreased scope of
work as shown on the approved plans. These rates were applied to the
front footage of the abutting properties as follows.
1. Property zoned or used other than R -1 or R -2 and x•$15.66 p.l.f.
a street width of 60' B.B. Curb,gutter,pavement $16.34 p.l.f.
