MICROFILMED
`13758 `JUL 071980
Cooper's Alley Extension and Telco Street, from 100
feet east of Chaparral Street to Tancahua Street, includ-
ing 250 feet of Carancahua Street north of Telco Street
and a portion of Mesquite Street at Cooper's Street,
Project No. MH -281.
SECTION 2. That the cost of said improvements shall be assessed
against adjoining property and paid for as follows, to -wit:
A. Improvements - Street shall contain a paved surface, plus two
feet (2'.) of curb and gutter section on each side, a minimum of four -foot
(4') wide sidewalk on each side, or wider where needed, plus driveways are
needed. The paved surface shall be as determined by the State Highway
Department and approved by the City Council.
B. Assessment Policy - Property ow ars abutting on each side
Of the street shall be assessed on the front foot basis as follows:
1. Ninety,percent (90 %) of cost of improvements relating to
pavement for one -half of the street abutting property.
Such improvements shall include excavation, caliche base,
shell base, lime stabilized base, asphalt oil, asphalt
surface, or concrete, and include six and one -half percent
(6 1 /2Z) of construction costs for engineering. In calcu-
lating this rate, credit shall be given to the abutting owners
for an assumed 9 feet abutting each property, where pavement
exists.
2. One hundred percent (100%) of cost of construction of curbs
and gutters, plus six and one -half percent (6 1/2%) of
construction costs for engineering.
3. Eighty percent '(80 %) of cost of construction of sidewalk
plus six and one -half percent (6 1/2%) of construction
costs for engineering.
4. One hundred percent (100%) of cost of construction of
driveways, plus six and one -half percent (6 1/2%) of
construction costs for engineering.
The above method shall be used regardless of depth and shape of
lot and any peculiar characteristics, subject, however, to a finding by the
City Council of inequality or injustice and corresponding adjustment.
Credit 'shall be given for existing curbs, gutters, sidewalks and
driveways, if they meet the standards of the City of Corpus Christi at the
time of construction, and for the amount shown to have been previously spent
for permanent type pavement by the abutting property owner, in excess of
the 9 -foot wide pavement credit abutting the property as described above.
Property which sides along the street being improved shall be
assessed at the rate computed above, including driveways.
Property backing onto a street being paved will be assessed the
same rate as above except if access is prohibited, then the rate will be
reduced by 50%.
i
The assessement rate as calculated by the above procedure shall
not exceed three times the maximum rate established herein for residences,
schools and churches for curb and gutter and pavement.
In addition, on all properties other than single or two - family
residential, schools and churches, the sidewalk rate shall be a maximum
of $0.75 per square foot, but it shall be applied to the actual width of
sidewalk being constructed.
Where it becomes necessary to construct a header curb along the
property line of commercially used properties to prevent vehicles from parking,
backing or turning on the sidewalk, the header curb will be 100% assessed,
plus 6 1 /2y, of construction costs for engineering, against the abutting property.
Where the City Council finds that property is platted for one
or two- family residential use and so used at the time of assessment, or
platted without improvements but committed in writing to one or two - family
residential use or in use for church or school purposes, then the assess-
ment rate will not exceed $4.75 per front foot for curb and gutter and pave-
ment and $0.75 per square foot for sidewalk and 1007, of driveway cost_
Property in this category which sides on a street being improved shall be
assessed not exceeding 507 of the rate for curb, gutter, pavement and side-
walk but such rate shall be calculated based on a percentage of width divided
by the depth,"in which event the rate could be less than 50% of the full rate
but the intent is that it will never exceed the 50% indicated above. Where
churches abut on two streets and double frontages are indicated, then the
assessment rate for the church shall be reduced to 50% of the residential
rate on the street which the improvements physically side; the determina-
tion as to whether the property is siding will be dependent upon the actual
location of improvements on the property. Driveways shall be excluded from
this provision.
Property which is used for single family purposes and.,backing
onto the street being improved will not be assessed for curbs, gutters or
pavement, but will be assessed 507 of sidewalk, included in the street
improvement where no sidewalk exists in front of property; provided that,
where the property is over 250 feet deep, then the rate will be the same
as if property were fronting the street.
-3-
The determination of the assessment rate shall be made by applying
the unit prices obtained by bids to the calculated quantities and front foot
measurements, for the improvements abutting the property.
The cost assessed against said owners and their property shall be
payable in monthly installments not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) in
number, the first of which shall be payable within thirty (30) days from the
date of completion of said improvements and their acceptance by the City of
Corpus Christi, and one installment each month thereafter until paid, together
with interest thereon at the rate of five and one - quarter (5 1/4%) percent,
with the provision that any of said installments may be paid at any time
before maturity by the payment of the principal and accrued interest thereon.
The total number of monthly installments on owner- occupied property may be
extended beyond one hundred twenty (120) in number so that, at the owner's
request, the total monthly payments will not exceed Ten ($10.00) Dollars
per month. Any property owner against whom and against whose property an
assessment has been levied may pay the whole assessment chargeable to him
without interest within thirty (30) days after the acceptance and completion
of said improvements.
That no such assessments shall be made against any owner of
abutting property, or of a street railway or steam railway, if any, until
after the notice and bearing provided by law, and no assessment shall be
made against an owner of abutting property in excess of the benefits to
such property in enhanced value thereof by means of such improvements.
For that part of the cost of the improvements that shall be
determined to be levied against the owners of abutting property and their
property shall be levied by assessment as herein provided, and said
improvements may further be secured by Mechanic's Liens to be executed
in favor of the City of Corpus Christi, provided by law in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this ordinance. Paving certificates
evidencing the assessment shall be issued in favor of the City of Corpus
Christi for the amount of the assessment, whether the property owners have
executed Mechanic's Liens to secure the payment or not, and shall be pay-
able for the purpose of financing paving improvement costs.
i
That the Director of Engineering and Physical Development, in
accordance with the above referenced Minute Orders, is hereby directed to
coordinate the preparation of plans and specifications and file same with
the City Council for the hereinabove described improvements. That in the
specifications prepared, provision shall be made to require all contractors
to maintain for a term not less than one (1) year all pavements and improve-
ments hereinabove described, if, in the judgment of the City Council, it is
deemed advisable to require same.
That such specifications shall require the bidder to make a bid
upon the type of improvements above described, with maintenance require-
ments as herein provided.
That the specifications shall also state the amount of the per-
formance bond and payment bond, each of which shall equal the amount of
the bid, as well as the method by which it is proposed to pay the cost of
said improvements, said method being in accordance with this ordinance.
SECTION 3. The City Council, in initiating this proceeding, is
acting under the terms and provisions of the Act passed at the First Called
Session of the Fortieth Legislature of the State of Texas, and known as
Chapter 106 of the Acts of said Session, together with any amendments
thereto, now shown as Article 1105b of Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes,
which said law, as an alternative method for the construction of street
improvements in the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, has been adopted by the
said City.
SECTION 4. That it is further provided as is stipulated by the
provisions of the Charter of the City of Corpus Christi., Texas, and the
laws above identified, that said improvements may be omitted in front of
any property exempt from the lien of special assessment for street improve-
ments without invalidating or affecting the assessments against the other
property abutting upon said street. Further, the City Secretary of the
City of Corpus Christi, Texas, is hereby authorized and directed to prepare
a notice in the name of said City of action taken herein and to have same
filed by the County Clerk of Nueces County, Texas, among the Mortgage
Records of said County.

All assessments, however, are to be made and levied by the City
Council as it may deem just and equitable, having in view the special
benefits in enhanced value to be received by such parcels of property and
owners thereof, the equities of such owners, and the adjustment of the
apportionment of the cost of improvements so as to produce a substantial
equality of benefits received and burdens imposed.
SECTION 5. That a hearing shall be given to said owners of
abutting property, and of railways and of street railways, if any, or
their agents or attorneys, and all persons interested in said matter, as
to the amount to be assessed against each owner and his abutting property
and railways and street railways, and as to the benefits to said property
by reason of -said improvement, or any other matter or thing in connection
therewith, which hearing shall be held in the City Council Chambers, City
Hall, in the City of Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, on the
29th day of June, 1977, at 3:00 p.m., at which time all the said owners,
their agents or attorneys or other interested persons are notified to appear
and be heard, and at said hearing said owners and other persons:may appear,
by counsel or in person, and may offer evidence, and said hearing shall be
adjourned from day to day until fully accomplished.
The City Secretary of the City of Corpus Christi is hereby
directed to give notice of the time and place of such hearing and of other
matters and facts in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Act
passed at the First Called Session of the Fortieth Legislature of the
State of Texas, and known as Chapter 106 of the Acts of said Session,
together with any amendments thereto, now shown as Article 1105b of Vernon's
Texas Civil Statutes, which said law, as an alternative method for the
construction of street improvements in the City of Corpus Christi, Texas,
has been adopted by said City.
