City Manager Whitney located on the map the property involved at the intersection of Lexington Boulevard and Airline Road, and explained that the Appeal is from the final action of the Zoning & Planning Commission in which the final plat of Wilkey Addition Unit 2, being 602 acres out of Lots 12 & 13, Section 13, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm & Garden Tracts, was approved sub- ject to the dedication of a 10° strip along the length of the property abutting Airline Road. He further explained that similar sufficient dedication had been, and was being required in all instances in order to provide an 80' right- of-way for the future widening of Airline Road, • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting April 10, 1963 Page 4 Dave Coover and Robert Bunting, Jr., attorneys, appeared in behalf of Mrs. Sorrels, objected to the use of the term "dedication" and opposed the requirement on the basis that there is presently no appropriation or fixed plans for the improvement and widening of Airline, and that the proper man- ner of obtaining the land for such purpose is through condemnation in due process of law with adequate compensation to the property owner. _ Wayland pilcher, Assistant City Attorney, explained that the matter is legally referred to as a "dedication" whether it is dors with cheerful en- thusiasm or as a requirement under the Platting Ordinance; that the Supreme Court of three bordering states have earl, held that such requirement is not a taking by eminent domain but a permissable requirement for the widening of a dedicated street; that for the past several years our Platting 0reinance has had the requirement of 80° dedication for a major thoroughfare; and pointed out that from Spohn Hospital to the Oso Sewer Plant there is pres- ently only the Doddridge-Weber through -street connection from Ocean Drive to Lexington Boulevard, and that Airline is the only other possibility of another East-West major thoroughfare in this whole area. James Ryan, the City's Right -of -Way Attorney, explained that where planned street improvements enhance the value of the property such enhance- ment is legally adequate compensation for the property taken; that in cases of condemnation the City always pays full market value for the lanai so con- demned plus damages, if any, to the remainder of the property by virtue of the taking of such land; and that in all cases of condemnation by eminent domain, the land so taken must be paid for. William Anderson, Director of Planning, stated that although the widening and improvement of this street is not in the immediate Capital Im- provement Program, for a number of years Airline Road has been designated in the master Plan as a Major thoroughfare. Mayor Barnard declared the hearing closed. Motion by Wallace, seconded by de Leon and passed that the ruling of the Zoning & Planning Commission in requiring the dedication of right-of-way on Airline Road in connection with the approval of final plat of Wilkey Addi- tion Unit 2, being 6.2 acres out of Lots 12 & 13, Section 13, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm & Carden Tracts, be upheld. • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting April 10, 1963 Page 5 Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of John Huston for a change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District, on Tract I - a rectangular tract of approximately 3.35 acres out of the NE portion of Share 7, Harney Partition of the Gregorio Farias imately 2.76 acres out Gregorio Parias Grant; Grant, and Tract II - a rectangular tract of approx- of the NW portion of Share 7, Harney Partition of the and Pram "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "A-1" Apartment House District on Tract III - a tract of approximately 2.7 acres out of the North portion of Share 7, Harney Partition of the Gregorio Farias Grant. William Anderson located the property on the map; explained that the application covered 3 tracts consisting of a total of 8.81 acres on the South side of Leopard Street, and displayed a preliminary plat showing the proposed layout for the entire subdivision; and stated that 9 notices had been mailed out; 3 returns received in favor of the application and none against; and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Cmmnission was that the zoning on Tract I and II described in the application be changed from "R -1B" to "B-1", and on Tract III from "R -1B" to "A-1", all subject to a proper plat. No one appeared to speak either for or against this application. Mayor Barnard declared the hearing closed. Motion by de Leon, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the recom- mendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be concurred in, and the zoning on the property described as Tract I - a rectangular tract of approximately 3.35 acres out of the NE portion of Share 7, Harney Partition of the Gregorio Farias Grant, and Tract II - a rectangular tract of approximately 2.76 acres out of the NW portion of Share 7, Harney Partition of the Gregorio Farias Grant, be changed from "R -1B" to "B-1", and that the zoning on Tract III - a tract of approximately 2.7 acres out of the North portion of Share 7, Harney Partition of the Gregorio Farias Grant, be changed from "R -1B" to "A-1", all subject to proper plat.

William Anderson located the property on the map at the corner of 21st and Mary Streets; pointed out the zoning and land use of the area; ex- plained the applicant desires to enlarge the existing small grocery store in order to serve the needs of the neighborhood; that the question of spot -zoning had been considered and the objection of nearby property owners to on -premises consumption of alcoholic beverages; and stated that 26 notices had been mailed out, 3 returns received in favor of the application, and one against; and that the unanimous recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission was that the request for "B-1" Neighborhood Business District on Lots 11 & 12, Block 9, Patrick Webb Addition be denied but that a Special Permit for a grocery store under Article 25, Section 25-4, Subsection 12 of the Zoning Ordinance be ap- proved subject to the following conditions: (1) That on -premises consumption of alcoholic beverages be prohibited; (2) Subject to all other regulations of the "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. Clarence Hodge, 2316 Mary, and another property owner in the area, spoke in favor of the request on the basis of the need for this service. No one appeared to oppose the application. Mayor Barnard declared the hearing closed. Motion by Maldonado, seconded by de Leon and passed that the recom- mendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be concurred in, and the request for a change of zoning from "A-2" to "B-1" be denied but that a special permit for a grocery store be approved subject to the following conditions: (1) that on -premises consumption -of alcoholic beverages be prohibited; (2) subject to all other regulations of the "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of W.C. B. Construction Co. for a change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling Districtto "I-2" Light Industrial District on a 10 -acre tract of land out of Lot 4, Section 9, Bohemian Colony Lands. William Anderson located the property on the map; pointed out the land use of the area; explained the applicant desires to continue the use of the property as a contractor's yard; and stated that 6 notices had been mailed out, 4 returns had been received in favor of the request, and none against, and City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting Page 7 • that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission was that the re- quest for "1-2" Light Industrial District be approved. In answer to Mayor. Barnard's question, Mr. Anderson stated that he did not consider this a logical area for this type of industrial development. Mrs Burnett, owner of the property in question, spoke in support of the request on the basis that he had bought and used the property for this purpose for some time before it was recently annexed., that his neighbors did not object as they were non -conforming themselves, and that in the future he would like to subdivide and use his property for an Industrial Village. Roy Caldwell, realtor, representing the property owner across the street from the property, stated that he vas not opposing the application but that he was requesting a postponement in order to allow his client to see the development pattern and determine whether or not he was in favor of it. Mayor Barnard declared the hearing closed. Motion by Roberts, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the hear- ing -not be closed, but that the hearing be recessed for one week, Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of Airclime, Inc. for a change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "I-2" Light Industrial District on Lots 1 & 2, Block 3, Cabaniss Acres.

W. R. Anderson, attorney, representing the applicant, spoke in support of the application on the basis that the plans which include a 40' x 60' metal building ready for immediate construction and proposed future expan- sion are lesser uses than other nearby industrial uses, that adequate off-street parking has been provided for, and that most of the work involved with this op- eration is the installation of the sheet metal items. No one appeared to speak in opposition. Mayor Barnard declared the hearing closed. • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting April 10, 1963 Page 7a Motion by Young, seconded by Roberts and passed that the recommend- ation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be concurred in, and the zoning on Lots 1 & 2, Block 3, Cabaniss Acres be changed from "R -1B" to "I-2". Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of Consolidated Investment Properties, Inc. for a change of zoning from "R -1A" One -family Dwelling District to "I-2" Light Industrial District on a tract of land out of that portion of Tracts 1-A, 2-A and 3-A, Partition of M. M. Gabriel Land out of Lots 9 and 16, Section 5, Range VIII, Ougenheim & Cohns' Farm Lots. William Anderson located the property on the map; pointed out the land use of the area; explained that the preliminary plat is for the entire layout of the tract and is for the future development of residential prop- erty except for that part used for his business operation; and stated that 17 notices had been mailed out, 1 return received in favor of the applica- tion and none against; and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission was that the request for "I-2" Light Industrial District on the property described in the application be approved. Ian Naismith, representing the applicant, spoke in support of the application on the basis that Lexington Boulevard at this point is an ex- pressway and not desirable for abutting residences. No one appeared to speak in opposition, Mayor Barnard declared the hearing closed. City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting April 10, 1963 Page 8 Motion by de Leon, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the recom- mendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be concurred in, and the zoning on a tract of land out of that portion of Tracts 1-A, 2-A and 3-A, Partition of M. M. Gabriel Land out of Lots 9 and 16, Section 5, Range VIII, Gugenheim & Cohns° Farm Lots, be changed from "R -1A" to "I-2". Mayor Barnard recognized John Wailer, attorney representing a number of property owners in the immediate and surrounding area of Lots 3 & 4, Sec- tion 19, Flour Bluff & Zncinal Farm & Garden Tracts, 6601 Holly Road, for which pro :,r cyte Council on March 20, 1963, granted an Interim .Building Permit to locate a 30' x 100' office and equipment storage building for use in connection with the operation of an excavation pit. Mr. Waller explained that the land involved has already been cleared by bulldozer for the purpose of the operation, and requested and urged a review of the situation on the basis that the entire proposed operation would cause heavy damage to property values and living conditions of the area; be a danger to the children living in the area; and was an illegal use of the property since the proposed oper- ation of an excavation pit is classed as an objectionable use and requires a public hearing before the Zoning & Planning Commission for a change of zoning to Heavy Industry, a public hearing before the City Couu i1 to grant such change of zoning, and a public hearing before the Board of Adjustment to grant such use of the property. The following appeared in support of the foregoing objection and to the request for a review of the situation by the Council: Mrs. Joe Hall, and Mrs. Eulee Mize Gowan, owners of the 50 -acre tracts abutting either side of the property in question; Mr. & Mrs. R. P. Perry, 215A Airline Rd.; Mrs. Walker W. Green, 7022 Holly Rd.; Mrs. George Strauss, Lakeview Acres; Mrs. Coy D. Martin, 6922 Holly Rd.; Mr. & Mrs. C. S. Yarbrough, 2129 Airline Rd.; Mr. & Mrs. H. N. Siemer, 7072 Lakeview Dr.; Dal McAlister, 6941 Lakeview Dr.; Tom Lawrence, 4418 Wesley; J. R.

Jack Walker, pastor, and Mr. H. J. Riner, representing Palmcrest Baptist Church. Mr. Waller presented a petition of approximately 160 signatures, which he stated represented all of the property owners in the area between • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular CauTil Meeting April 10, 1963 Page 9 Airline and Rodd Field Roads, in support of his remarks, and stated further that Ed Yturri and Mr. Lichtenstein, property owners in the area also object- ed to the operation. Mr. Anderson, Director of Planning, explained the need for provid- ing for a source of this native, low-grade material which is used in the build- ing industry at a reasonable hauling distance from the City so as to cut down the cost of building construction within the City; the City's future need for a nearby suitable sanitary fill area; the fact that it is possible to conduct such cpe,.•utiu,, within 300° of homes in suau manner not to have any ob ecti.on; and re -stated the conditions under which the application of Haas Trucking Co. to allow this operation was approved by the Zoning & Planning Commission under the City's Excavation Ordinance, which included the deeding to the City of the entire 30 -acre tract at the cessation of the excavation work for a sanitary fill area and which tract would subsequently be used for City park area. Assistant City Attorney Jim Ryan explained to the Council that the Haas Trucking Co. has complied with the Excavating Ordinance P1'F16 regarding a permit to excavate; that the company is further required to apply for and be granted a change in zoning to "I-3" Heavy Industrial District; and that since it is classified as an objectionable use, the operation is further sub- ject to approval by the Board of Adjustment after public hearing. City Manager Whitney read from the minutes of March 20, 1963, to the effect that the request of Haas Trucking Co. for a permit under Ordinance #4416 for excavation for building materials on the subject tract was approved subject to written agreement to seven listed conditions, which were read; and that an Interim Building Permit to locate a 30° x100° office and equipment storage on the 300° x 1,320° strip along Holly Road for use in connection with the operation subject to a time limit to run concurrently with the excavation permit was approved. It was further pointed out that the permit to excavate under the ordinance can be granted only for 1 year, and every year thereafter must be granted. Mr. Whitney also pointed out that to his knowledge the written agreement containing the conditions has not been written or consummated. During the general discussion the Council agreed that the petitioners had a valid opposition, that the entire matter should be thoroughly reviewed, that possibly the Excavation Ordinance should be amended to provide the re- • 41 City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular C r Jc':.1 Meting April 10, 1963 Page 10 quirement of a public hearing, and that all those appearing at today's meet- ing would be notified of any further hearing or action taken in respect to this use of this tract. Mayor Barnard called for the City Manager's Reports. Motion by Roberts, seconded by de Leon and passed that the City Manager's Reports be accepted and the recommendations and requests be approved and granted as followsa a.

City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting April 10, 1963 Page 11 City Manager Whitney recommended that the date set for public hear- ing on the request of Humble Oil Co. for Council permit to drill for oil on property on the Naval Base, be set for April 24, 1963, during the regular meeting, in order to provide sufficient time for legal advertising of such hearing. Motion by Roberts, seconded by de Leon and passed that the fore- going recommendation be approved, and the minutes so reflect. Mr. Walker called attention to a National Congress of Teachers ballot with reference to Federal Aid to Education in Secondary Schools which had been given to the P.T.A. last evening to be voted upon by April 15, 1963, and for which he felt insufficient time has been allowed for study of the matters involved in the questionaire or ballot. Mayor Barnard requested that the material be left with the City Manager to make copies for distri- bution and study before returning the material to Mr. Walker. C. H. Cunningham read letters from the C.C. Beach Improvement Asso- ciation, the C.C. Beach Women's Club, and one signed by 35 tourist families in Corpus Christi, expressing appreciation to Commissioner de Leon and the City Officials for the special efforts to get the beach program started for Corpus Christi Beach, and wholeheartedly supporting the undertaking and its completion.
