to comply with the State Statute regarding paving assessments; that testimony will be offered from
the Director of Engineering and Physical Development and evaluation testimony from a real estate
appraiser to substantiate the assessments which appear on the preliminary assessment roll, and that
the hearing is to form a basis on which the City Council, acting as a legislative body, would

Road, from the south property line of Lot 1, Block 2, Alameda Estates No. 2, to the north property
line of Lot 16, Block 3, Alameda Estate 03, southeast side; (7) Robert Drive, from Santa Fe to
Estate Drive, northwest side; (8) Robert Drive, from the south property line of Lot 2, Block 1,
Alameda Estate 94 to Delano Street, from Brownlee Boulevard to 10th Street, south side; (9) Buford
Street, from Brownlee Blvd. to 10th Street, south side; and (10) 15th Street, from Craig Street
approximately 138.75 feet north. He explained that the assessment roll includes 49 items and the
assessments have been calculated based on the unit bid price submitted by the low bidder, E. J.
Netek Construction Company and in accordance with the paving assessment policy of the City.
The project shall consist of construction of 4' wide 4" thick reinforced concrete sidewalks and
assessment at the rate of $0.97 per square foot. Mr. Lontos stated the work on the project wi II
start within 30 days from this date and is expected to require approximately four months to complete.
He explained that the abutting property owners wi II be permitted to pay for the assessments on a
monthly basis at the rate of 5 -1/2% interest up to 60 months or may pay the entire amount at the
completion of the construction.
Mr. Harold Carr testified as to his identity as a real estate appraiser of various types
of real estate and his familiarity with the subject project. He stated a written resume of his qualifica-
tions are on file in the office of the City Secretary which is acceptable to the Council. He stated
he had, within the last week, personally examined each and every parcel of land involved in the
subject project as to the evaluation in relation to the assessments, and had concluded that in some
instances there would be no enhancement in value, and that in other instances, the value would be
enhanced in value at least to the amount of the assessments. Mr. Carr's comments and recommenda-
tions are as follows:
Items 1, 2 and 3, Clarkwood Road, from Iris Street to Lot 9, Block 10, Clarkwood
Townsite (east side) - Mr. Carr stated in his opinion, sidewalks on this portion of Clarkwood Street
would not benefit the property owners or enhance the value of their property in any way; that it
possibly would be of benefit to school children, but in his opinion the school could probably provide
its own sidewalks.
Mr. Lantos explained that a request for these sidewalks had been received from the
school, the reason given being for safety reasons for a number of children which would be affected.
A suggestion was made by members of the Council that the sidewalks be constructed on the side of
the school. Mr. Lantos stated this would be investigated and the principal of the school would be

contacted for his comments regarding the location of the sidewalks.
Mr. Carr stated he would be of the some opinion that there would be no enhancement of
the property owners if the sidewalks were constructed on the school side of the street.
No one appeared in opposition to the assessments on Items 1, 2 and 3.
Items 4 through 14, McArthur Street, from Belton Street to Tarleton Street (northwest
side) - Mr. Carr explained that the proposed sidewalks are on property which side up to McArthur,
one of which being the Holy Family Catholic Church property to which many people travel. He
stated in this instance the sidewalk program is in accordance with comprehensive planning, and in
his opinion, each of the abutting properties will be enhanced in value as a result of the improvements
at least to the amount of the assessments as shown on the assessment rol I .
No one appeared in opposition to the proposed assessments relative to Items 4 through 14.
Items 15 through 22, Winnebago Street, from North Alameda to Lake Street (northwest
side) - Mr. Carr stated these lots are only 50 feet deep and are one -half assessed according to an
adjustment made by the Engineering Department, and the assessment roll reflects his opinion that
each of the abutting properties so assessed will be enhanced in value as a result of the improvements
at least in the amount of the assessments as shown on the assessment roll.
Mr. Lontos explained that Items 16 and 17 are not being assessed at all but are being
given credit for existing sidewalks.
No one appeared in opposition to the proposed assessments relative to Items 15 through 22.
Item 23, Churchill Drive, Whittier to Tarleton (southeast side), Corpus Christi Independent
School District (Travis School, Broadmoore Park, 515 N. Carancahua) - Mr. Carr stated in his
opinion, this property will be enhanced in value as a result of the improvements at least to the
amount of the assessments as shown on the assessment rol I.
No one appeared in opposition to the proposed assessments relative to Item 23.
Items 24 through 29, 15th Street, from Southern Street to South Staples (southeast side) -
Mr. Carr stated that improvement of these streets is in accordance with the comprehensive plan, but
side up to the street and for that reason, all are being one -half assessed, and in his opinion each of
the abutting properties will be enhanced in value as a result of the assessments at least in the amount
of the assessments shown on the assessment roll.
No one appeared in opposition to the proposed assessments on Items 24 through 29.
Items 30 through 35, Everhart Road, from the south property line of Lot 1, Block 2,

r
Alameda Estate No. 2, to the north property line of Lot 16, Block 3, Alameda Estate 03 (south,
side - Mr. Carr stated that each of the abutting properties side up to Everhart Road and front on
the cross street, the sidewalks would only be used by school children and would be beneficial to the
public in general, but in his opinion, sidewalks on this portion of the project would not benefit the
property owners, would not enhance the value of their property, and therefore he would recommend
that no assessments be made.
Mr. H. D. Bailey, Lot 16, Block 3, Alameda Estate #3, stated he not only saw no
enhancement to the value of the property, but in his opinion, the proposed sidewalks would be
detrimental because of drainage problems which would result. He stated he is also representing
Mr. Jesse B. Galbreath (Item 34) and Mr. Fronk L. Henderson (Item 33) and that they did not
receive notice of this hearing possibly because they recently purchased their property. He asked
that the Council consider placing the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street so that pedestrians
could travel all the way to the park and to Carmel without crossing a driveway. He stated there
would be six driveways under the proposed plan as opposed to one if constructed on the other side.
Mr. Benadum questioned Mr. Lontos as to the procedures relative to notifying property
owners of assessment hearings. Mr. Lantos explained that the names are obtained from the City
Tax Office, and new tax records are not available until January or February which as a result,
names are taken from prior year records. Mr. Lantos stated his office had not been contacted by
property owners to say they had not received notice. Mr. Bailey stated, in response to a question
from Mr. Benadum, that he had been requested by his neighbors (Items 33 and 34) to speak for them
at this hearing.
Items 37 and 38, Robert Drive, from Santa Fe to Estate Drive (northwest side) - Mr. Carr
explained that the Diocese of Corpus Christi is the owner of Parcel 037; this tract of land is 700
feet long abutting Robert Drive but has frontage on Santa Fe; that since plans for development of
this tract are uncertain, in his opinion, the proposed improvements on Items 37 and 38 would not be
of any benefit to the property owners, would not enhance the value, and he therefore would recommend
no assessments.
Mr. Lantos explained that this request had come from the neighborhood through the
Traffic Engineering Department, for reasons of providing access to Town & Country Shopping Center
and for children attending Windsor Park School.
Mrs. William Hopkins, 230 Purl Street, stated her children attend Windsor Park School

and Cullen School, and the only access other than Robert Drive (which is very dangerous), was
through the Cemetery; that the Cemetery had been closed to traffic and parents are forced to drive
children to and from the schools. She explained that she and the neighbors had requested the side-
walks down Robert and on Gains. Mr. Lantos stated he had not been aware of the request in this
particular area, but was a valid request and he felt it should remain in the sidewalk program.
Commissioner Ricardo Gonzalez commented that in view of the tight budget and since Mr. Carr does
not recommend it, and since the Diocese does not want the sidewalk and do not agree to maintain
it, perhaps it should be deleted from the project. Mr. Lantos explained that the Diocese of Corpus
Christi property would be required to build sidewalks when the land is platted. In answer to a
question by Mr. Benadum, Mr. Lantos stated sidewalk construction could be protected against
future developments if installed now. Mr. Carr stated in his opinion a developer would prefer to
construct his own sidewalks at the time the property is developed, and he would not be in a position
to say prior construction would be protected. He stated it is still his opinion, based on his personal
observation, that there would be no enhancement to the value of the property listed as Items 37
and 38 as a result of the proposed improvements.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing proposed assessments.
Items 39 & 40, Robert Drive, from the south property line of Lot 2, Block 1, to Delano
Street (southeast side) - Mr. Carr stated the buildings on these properties face Robert Drive, fits
into a comprehensive plan, and in his opinion, each of these properties will be enhanced in value
as a result of the proposed improvements at least in the amount of the assessment.
Items 4 through 47, Buford Street, from Brownlee Boulevard to 10th Street (south side) -
Mr. Carr stated these properties side up to Buford Street and are shown on the assessment roll as
one -half assessed and in his opinion, each parcel would be enhanced in value at least in the amount
of the assessment shown on the rol I.
No one appeared to speak in opposition to the foregoing proposed assessments.
Items 48 and 49, 15th Street, from Craig Street approximately 138.75 feet north - Mr.
Carr explained that one -half of Item 48 is facing on 15th Streeet, and Item 49 is a deep lot which
was left out of another project. He stated in his opinion, each of these properties will be enhanced
in value at least in the amount of the assessment.
No one else appeared to speak in opposition to any of the foregoing assessments.
Motion by Acuff, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed.
There being no further testimony offered or any further parties
appearing to be heard, upon proper motion, duly seconded and unanimously
carried, the said hearing was declared closed; and
