Mayor McDonald announced the opening of bids.
Bids were opened and read on Installation of Single Mooring and Pier
Piling at Corpus Christi Marina from the following: Austin Bridge Co.; Gulf
Salvage & Marine Diving Co.; and Goldston Engineering Co.
The foregoing bide were tabled for 48 hours as required by the City
Charter, and referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation.
Mayor McDonald called for nominations to fill the vacancy on the
Memorial Hospital Board.
Commissioner Swantner placed in nomination to the Memorial Hospital
Board the name of Mr. Dennis Walker. Commissioner Maldonado moved that the
nominations cease, and that Mr. Dennis Walker be appointed for a 6 -year term
to the Memorial Hospital Board by acclamation. The Council all voted "Aye" and
Mayor McDonald declared Mr. Walker elected. Commissioner Barnard presented the
Certificate of Appointment.
Mayor McDonald announced the public hearing on changes on street names
of 20 streets on Corpus Christi Beach, and one street in Pharaoh Valley Subdiv-
ision, and suggested that the Council hear the matter of the one street name
change in Pharaoh Valley Subdivision first.
City Manager Whitney pointed out the location of eckner Street on the
map which connects between Ennis Joslin Road and McArdle Road, running some
3500' through Pharaoh Valley; explained that the developers of the subdivision
have requested the change of name to Nile Drive in keeping with the pattern of
Egyptian names of streets throughout the subdivision; and that there was no
objection from any of the City departments. Mr. Whitney explained that since
the change of name had apparently not been controversial, he had told Mr. Peer -
man, representing the applicant, that it was not essential for him to be present
at the hearing.
Attorney Ed Williams objected to the change on the basis that the
trend now seems to be to obliterate the names of fine old families in the area,
and pointed out that the Beckner family had been a respected farm family in the
Oso area for many years.
No one else appeared to be heard in respect to this application, and
Mayor McDonald declared this portion of the hearing closed, and asked what was

the Council's pleasure in the matter.
Motion by Young, seconded by Roberts and passed that the request be
approved, and the name of Becktler Street in Phavaab Valley Subdivision be
changed to Nile Drive.
City Manager Whitney pointed out on a map of the Corpus Christi Beach
area, each of the streets named in the application and the requested name change,
as follows: Hamilton Boulevard, Timon Boulevard, and Avenue C, to Surfside
Boulevard; Avenue D, to Seagull Boulevard; Avenue E, to East Causeway Boule-
vard; Avenue F', to West Causeway Boulevard; Bessie Street, to Canal Avenue;
Market Street, to Breakwater Avenue; Garner Street, to Bridgeport Avenue; Vine
Street, to Coastal Avenue; North Hotel Place and Burleson Street, to Breaker
Avenue; Custom Street, to Churchdale Avenue; Nicholas Street, to Tourist Avenue;
Oxford Street, to Treasure Avenue; Perry Street, to Surfboard Avenue; Davis.
Street, to Gulfspray Avenue; Waldue Street, to Beach Avenue; Annie Street, to
Reef Avenue; and Fog Street, to Sandbar Avenue. Mr. Whitney presented a peti-
tion which had been received by the City Secretary signed by 19 persons pro-
testing the proposed change of name of Garner Street to any other name; and a
petition bearing 65 signatures protesting any change of name of Avenue D; ex-
plained that there was no objection from any of the City departments, nor from
the Post Office to the requested name changes; that a written communication
from the Highway Department, signed by T. 0. Foster, District Engineer, had
been received indicating that the street names on the Highway Department's large
guide signs will be changed at the City's request when the proposed street names
have been officially adopted; and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Plan-
ning Commission is that the change of street names as requested be granted.
The following appeared and spoke in favor of the name changes on the
basis that it will benefit both business and tourists to have all streets run-
ning North and South named boulevards and those running East and West named
avenues; that the new names will give the Beach the character they are trying
to put over in their tourist advertising material; and that the changes will
eliminate the confusion in a few instances where different sections of the
same street have different names; and requested that the name changes be accem-
plished in time for the new telephone directory and early Spring tourist adver-

tect representing 3 different motel groups; and Mrs. Lorraine Ellis, who pointed
out the duplication of names of Avenues A, B, C, and D in the Annaville area.
The following appeared and spoke in opposition to same or all of the
name changes, with particular emphasis on Garner Street, Avenue D, Timon Boule-
vard, and Bessie Street, on the basis that the changes in names would not bene-
fit the City any; that only the improvement of the properties on the Beach
would attract business or tourists; that the lack of street signing on the Beach
is the cause of the confusion; and that the existing names have a definite sig+
nificance in the areae Mrs. Lee H. Beck, opposed any changes; D. B. Sanders,
opposed change of name of Timon Boulevard.; Ed Williams, attorney representing
Harry Porter, and Harry Porter, owner of Lahala House, opposed obliteration of
respected old family names, but favored elimination of duplications in names;
0. M. Johnson, court owner on Avenue D; Mrs. Born, court owner on Avenue B;
Mrs. J. E. Brantly; and Dudley Timon, descendent of Judge Walter Timon, who
Opposed any change of name for Timon Boulevard and Bessie Street.

the change of street names on Corpus Christi Beach be closed, and the matter be
taken under advisement.
Mayor McDonald suggested that City Manager Whitney have the Library
do some research in the matter of any historical significance of these street
names for the early consideration of the Council.
Mayor McDonald announced the public hearing on the application of Mrs.
C. V. Halstead for a change of zoning from "AB" Professional Office District to

Tom Lake, Zoning Coordinator, located the property on the map on the
Southwest corner of the intersection of South Staples and Willow Streets; point-
ed out the zoning and land use of the surrounding area; explained that 20 written
notices had been mailed out, 1 return received in favor of the application and 5
against, that 6 additional letters had been presented during the Commission
hearing in support of a special permit; and that the recommendation of the
Zoning & Planning Commission is that the request for "B-1" Neighborhood Business
District be denied but that a Special 'permit for a beauty shop under Article 25,
Section 25-4, Sub -section 12, of the Zoning Ordinance be approved subject to all
other regulations of the "AB" Professional Office District.
Perry Burkett, attorney representing Mrs. Halstead, spoke in support
of the application, explained the proposed use of the vacant portion of the ex-
isting building for a beauty shop operation, and the available parking facilities
and showed snapshots of the immediate area.
The following appeared in opposition to any business zoning change,
but did not oppose a special permit for a beauty shop only, on the basis that
business zoning would devaluate their residential property, and be a further en-
croachment of business in the area, that it would add to the traffic and noise,
and be detrimental to the safety of the children using the playground in the
area; and further, requested the removal of the All -State Insurance sign which,
they stated was in violation of the existing zoning and had been allowed by the
Board of Adjustment without their knowledge: Ralph Lawler, owner of Lot 7,
Block 2, Brawner Place; Mrs. Lynton Paimero, 3805 Stirman; Roy Andrews, corner
of Poplar and Willow Streets; Mrs. A. J. Prihoda, 3806 Willow.
City Manager Whitney explained that the permit number allowing the
erection of the sign referred to was #1452, and that the Board of Adjustment
hearing took place on June 27, 1961, according to Building Inspection Division
records; and Mayor McDonald explained that dissatisfaction with a variance grant-
ed by the Board of Adjustment had to be pursued in the Courts as the City
Council has no jurisdiction in these cases.
Commissioner de Leon suggested that definite restrictions should be
included in the event a special permit is granted.

basis that he needs to move his machine shop operation to this location for
expansion purposes, and that the proposed construction will enhance the neigh-
borhood.
Vernon Smith, architect for the applicant, described the plans for
a modern, Class B semi -fireproof plant with provision for employee and customer
off-street parking.
