City Manager Whitney explained that the application requested the closing and abandoning to the abutting property owners that portion of Denver Street extending from the right-of-way of Ropes to Proctor right-ofmway and from Proctor right-of-way to a point even with the North line of Lot 52, Block 17 and Lot 13, Block 117, both owned by H. E. Butt; and on a colored eketch map of the surrounding area, pointed out the portions of Denver previously vacated by two • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Recessed Regular Meeting January 17, 1963 Page k separate ordinances and. the area covered by this application. Mr. Whitney pointed out that the Utilities Department has no objection to the closing pro- vided adequate utility easements are obtained to protect the existing water, gas, and sewer lines in portions of the area requested to be closed; that the Police and Fire Departments have no objections to the closing; that the Traffic Engineering Department has no objection provided arrangements can be made for cars to turn around in the dead end, section, and suggests that consideration be given to requiring right -of -sway for the widening of Ocean Drive and exten- sion of Brawner Parkway; and that the Planning Department states that the matter involves a plan for the extension of Brawner Parkway to Ocean Drive proposed as part of the Major Street Plan of the Comprehensive Plan and is the basis for a specific project of the Five -Year Capital Improvement Program; that in consid- ering this street closure, provision should be made for turn -around where Den- ver would dead end as normally required for subdivisions in the City's Platting Ordinance; that the width of Ocean Drive is only 60°, and additional width will be needed when permanent improvements are made to this important thoroughfare; and recommended that the City attempt by negotiation with the owners involved to resolve these matters as consideration for the closing. Mr. Whitney further pointed out that the Public Works Department had stated substantially the same thing as to the importance of obtaining additional right-of-way for the exten- sion of Brawner Parkway and for the widening and improvement of Ocean Drive, and presented a map showing the portion of Denver proposed to be closed, the addition- al right-of-way needed for the future widening of Ocean Drive and extension of Brawner Parkway and presented a colored map showing the abandonment not opposed, retaining easement for all existing utilities; the recommended deletion from the abandonment description; existing buildings, approximate and schematic; the right- of-way needed from petitioners, exact width needed to be established by prelimin- ary engineering studies; and the right-of-way needed from others. Mr. Whitney reported that no written objections or comments had been received from any prop- erty owner, other than a letter from M. B. Reasoner representing Mr. H. E. Butt, which was noted for record. William Shireman, attorney representing the applicants, spoke in sup- port of the application, pointing out that the applicants specifically recognize • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Recessed Regular Meeting January 17, 1963 Page 5 the existence of certain utilities and the necessity for retention of proper easement for servicing of these lines, and also the necessity of leaving some 325' open to Doddridge as it is the only access street serving the apartment dwelling; that the request was merely to obtain official confirmation by the closing of actual existing conditions in view of the fact that this portion of Denver has never been maintained or used as a public street, and that with the exception of the apartment dwelling as noted, all other residences in the area have convenient and adequate access streets within a block, and that due to the Proctor Drainage Ditch it is economically unfeasible for the City to open and maintain this portion of Denver as a public street. J. R. Sorrell, attorney representing Mr. H. E. Butt, stated that Mr. Butt is willing to furnish the property necessary for the recommended turn around, preferably off the property not occupied by his residence; that he is willing to pay the City a reasonable compensation for that portion of Denver Street immediately adjacent to his property; but that he does not consider the two matters of the closing of Denver Street and the widening and extension of Brawner Parkway and the widening of Ocean Drive at all related, and will not consider giving any right-of-way for either one of these proposed streets, both of which he considers will have very devastating effects on the remainder of his property. Dave Coover, speaking for himself and Mr. Edwin Singer, reviewed some of the history of the area and spoke of the erosion of the street area in the vicinity of the ditch over a period of 40 or 50 years; stated that he did not believe a turn around was necessary as it had not been needed in all of the 27 years he had lived there; and spoke in support of Mr. Butt's contention that the two matters of the Denver Street closing and the recommended proposed Bremner Parkway and Ocean Drive are completely unrelated, and that there is no need or necessity either for the extension of Bremner Parkway or the widening of Ocean Drive. Thurston Lambright, who lives at the corner of Denver and Doddridge, stated that he had no objection to the closing of Denver but urged that the City retain whatever right-of-way it already owns with respect to both Proctor Street and Bremner Parkway in the event it should be needed in the future. • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Recessed Regular Meeting January 17, 1963 Page 6 Norman Utter, attorney representing property owners on Aransas Street, spoke in support of the Staff's contention that the requested closing of Denver has a direct relation to future plans for the extension of Brawler Parkway since it would make Aransas Street an access road to a potential thoroughfare, and re- quested that Denver and Aransas both be closed and there be no extension of Bremner Parkway, but that if Bremner is to be extended that there be no closing of Denver or Proctor. James Walker, -3725 Aransas, spoke in support of Mr. Utter's request to close Aransas if Denver is to be closed. Various street plans relating to Bremner Parkway, Ocean Drive, or a possible off -shore road, and the traffic patterns involved were discussed, and the Council agreed that additional information is needed before a decision is made particularly in view of the recent agreement of the State Highway Depart- ment to work with the City on a Master Street Plan for the area. No one else appeared to be heard. Motion by Roberts, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the hearing be closed, City Manager Whitney informed the Council that he had requested the Traffic Engineer to make a study of the traffic patterns for the area as re- quested by -the Council at it's noon Workshop Session. Motion by Roberts, seconded by de Leon and passed that the matter of the closing of Denver Street be taken under advisement. Mayor Pro Tem Swantner announced the pending item of the application of Carmel Corporation for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling Dis- trict to "A-1" Apartment House District on Lots 1, 2, 3, k, 5 & 6, Block 1, and on Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5, Block 2, Carmel Village, on which public hearing was held January 9, 1963, and closed, and at which time it was announced that the Council would receive written information on the matter at this meeting. Mr. Simon Grossman and Mr. Bert Haas submitted a new plot plan for the subject property showing one-story duplex units in the area adjacent to Pope Place #5, and two-story duplex units adjacent to the shopping center, which they stated was en attempt to overcome the objections of the property owners in the area. • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Recessed Regular Meeting January 17, 1963 Page 7 Mayor Pro Tem Swantner announced that the foregoing application would be continued as a pending item.

There followed a lengthy discussion as to the manner in which the Specifications Committee determined the specifi- cations to meet the City's needs and performance requirements with particular reference to this item, and the possibility that in lowering the specifications in one instance in order to accommodate one bidder and thereby automatically ex- cluding all other bidders price -wise; the manner in which specifications can be changed by the Council and an addendum sent out to all bidders prior to the receipt of bids; and the necessity for awarding the bid at this time due to the moratorium period. The City Manager was requested to have the specifications on this item thoroughly reviewed by the Specifications Committee for future bidding.
