garding a certain dedication of right-of-way on Airline Road.
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,

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.

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

that he was requesting a postponement in order to allow his client to see the

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,

be approved; and added further that in view of the conditions in the neighbor-
hood, he considered this was a logical use of the property.
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.

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. Steen, 1518 Woodlawn Dr.; Mrs. Bernice
Mathisen, 1702 Daly St.; Mrs. Ruth Kinney, 1317 Woodlawn Dr.; Mrs. Ralph E.
McLain, 1538 Woodlawn; Mrs. W. A. Grafton, 6821 Lakeview; Rev. 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

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-

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
