Ass't City Manager R. Marvin Townsend
City Attorney I. M. Singer
City Secretary T. Ray Kring
Mayor Pro Tem Jim Young called the meeting to order in the absence
of Mayor James L. Barnard.
The Invocation was given by the Reverend Myron Willard, Pastor of
South Shore Disciples of Christ Church.
City Secretary T. Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance.
Motion by Blackmon, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the minutes
of the regular meeting of July 31, 1963, as furnished to the Council be approved.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the absence
of Mayor James L. Barnard and Commissioner J. R. de Leon be excused for cause.
Mrs. A. W. Green,presented and read a petition of approximately 154
residents and property owners in the Flour Bluff area protesting against false
statements concerning annexation of Flour Bluff, and setting forth the main advan-
tages, benefits and reasons, why they did seek and still wish to be annexed to the
City of Corpus Christi; and to correct the impression through the news media that
most of the Flour Bluff residents are opposed to annexation.
Mrs. Levi Materne, 325 Ohio, who also owns property in the Flour Bluff
area, quoted comparative charges for utilities and various taxes in the City with
those charged in the Flour Bluff area, and presented bills for each to support her
statements regarding the great differences and advantages in savings to the indivi-
dual property owner and resident in support of the foregoing petition.
Mrs. F. J. Graham presented her tax bill to support her statement
that she has paid a water tax since 1955, but has no water, and has to pay a fire
district tax, but has no water to put out a fire if she had one.
Harry Grim explained the manner of maintaining the Volunteer Fire
Department in Flour Bluff by barbecues, solicitations for funds, and a Fire District
tax levy; the inadequacies, failure of equipment, and lack of fire protection and
resulting high fire insurance rates in Flour Bluff; and urged that when the annexa-
tion of the area is finalized, that the Flour Bluff krea be wholly protected and

under the jurisdiction of the Corpus Christi Fire Department, since a joint arrange-
ment similar to that in the Annaville area does not reduce the fire insurance rates to
those in effect within the City limits.
Mrs. Blanche Wagner supported Mr. Grimm's request and complained of
the fire siren in front of her home.
Assistant City Manager Townsend explained the operation of the Fire Dis-
trict as a separate governmental unit under the jurisdiction, and controlled by the
Directors elected by the voters in those areas included in the Fire District, and
that therefore, in such situations the City can only provide joint fire protection
upon annexation.
Mayor Pro Tem Young expressed the Council's appreciation and sympathy
with the group's views and problems, explained that until the present litigation is
settled the Council can do nothing to help them; and ordered the petition received for
record. (Petition #10)
Mayor Pro Tem Young read and presented to Mr. Robert C. Henderson,
accompanied by his son Eddie Wayne, a Certificate of Commendation for quick -thinking,
good judgment and heroism displayed in fighting the flames of a burning automobile
to save the lives of three persons involved in a fiery collision on Highway 9 about
11:00 p.m., Thursday, August 1, 1963.
Mayor Pro Tem Young read the following proclamations which had been
signed by Mayor Barnard, relative to the following: Proclaiming August 16, 1963, as
NAVY MOTHERS' CLUB DAY in Corpus Christi in recognition of the aims and purposes of
these clubs, and the untiring and unselfish efforts of Navy Mothers all over the world,
and encouraging all citizens to pay respect and honor to those mothers who have sacri-
ficed so much; proclaiming the week of August 18, 1963 as GOLF WEEK in Corpus Christi

politan Club, and Lee Mahoney, Chairman of the Golf Committee, sponsoring this event;

vigilance in the observance of traffic laws and strict enforcement by all departments
and individuals having the responsibility of enforcing traffic laws of our State,

thoughtfully and considerately of our fellow -citizens' rights.
Mayor Pro Tem Young announced the Chair was open for nominations to
fill a vacancy on the Bayfront Advisory Board.
Commissioner Maldonado nominated Rear Admiral R. S. Clarke for appoint-
ment to the Bayfront Advisory Board; and there being no other nominations, and no

Board was approved and confirmed.
Mayor Pro Tem Young announced the pending item of the Haas Trucking

Lot 3, Section 19, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm & Garden Tracts, on which public hear-
ing had been recessed from July 24, 1963.
No one appeared to speak on behalf of the applicant, and since the
applicant had been notified of the recessed hearing and had indicated his intention
and desire to be heard, Mayor Pro Tem Young instructed City Secretary Kring to tele-
phone and see if there had been a misunderstanding as to the time of the recessed
hearing due to the public hearings scheduled for 4 p.m., and announced a brief delay
for this purpose.
Mayor Pro Tem Young announced the meeting would proceed, and called

d. That the date of August 21, 1963, during the regular meeting convening
at 2 p.m., be set for public hearing on the following applications; (1) on the closing

e. That the application of International Harvester Company for an Interim
Zoning Permit to install a concrete block 28' x 36' spray paint room inside an exist-
ing implement storage building to repaint farm implements on Lot 6, Holly Industrial
Subdivision, be granted.
Mayor Pro Tem Young announced the public hearing on the application for the
closing of a portion of Denver Street described as the East 15' of the right-of-way
of Denver Street, being that portion that abuts Lots 33 through 64, inclusive, Block
15, Port Aransas Cliffs Subdivision, and the West 15' of the right-of-way of Denver
Street, being that portion that abuts Lots 1 through 8, inclusive, Block 115, Port
Aransas Cliffs Subdivision.'
J. W. Gary, attorney for the applicants, explained that the original right-
of-way had envisioned an 80' street, but that the street as subsequently paved and
curbed is only a 50' street; that rather than applying to the Board of Adjustment for
a variance from the required 40' setback for residential construction, it had been
suggested that application be made to close the unused and not needed 15' strip on
both sides of the portion of Denver between Ropes and Sinclair, with the City retain-
ing an easement on both sides, in order to permit the proposed residential construction

25' from the curb line, rather than 40' from the curb line.
Assistant City Manager Townsend reported that there are gas, water, sewer,
and power lines within the 15' shoulders of the 50' street, but that the Staff sees
no objection to the abandonment for street purposes of the 15' strips on both sides
of the street between Ropes and Sinclair provided the subject strips are retained as
utility easements.
Lee McMillan, 123 Cordula, whose lot sides on Denver Street, had no objection
to the closing provided the entire area of request is closed.
W. Rinehart Miller, one of the applicants, appeared in support of the appli-
cation, on the basis that this two -block area is the only portion of Denver that is
still an 80' right-of-way, and the abutting properties can be better developed with
only a 25' setback from the curb line.
No one appeared in opposition to the application.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the hearing be
closed.
Motion by Blackmon, seconded by Roberts and passed that action on this
matter be deferred for one week in order to give the full Council an opportunity to
consider the matter.
Mayor Pro Tem Young announced the Council would now hear from the applicants
who had arrived at the meeting relative to the pending item of the Haas Trucking
application delayed earlier in the meeting.
Fred Haas and E. D. Haas, applicants, apologized for their misunderstand-
ing as to the time they would be heard, expressed their appreciation for the delay
so they could be heard, and urged that the zoning be granted so they can establish
their business operation on the property in question with railroad frontage on the
basis that they have been informed that the Tex-Mex Railroad is soliciting business
along this line; and in answer to questions from the Council, stated that they plan
to construct a corrugated metal office building with slab foundation and parking lot
for trucks and equipment on a temporary basis, but could not say how long "temporary"
would be.
Motion by Wallace, seconded by Roberts and passed that the hearing be closed.

Motion by Wallace that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Com-
mission be concurred in, and the application be denied. There was no second to
the motion, and Mayor Pro Tem Young declared the motion had died for lack of a second.
Commissioner Blackmon disqualified himself for personal reasons from voting
on this application, and Mayor Pro Tem Young declared the Council was therefore unable
to act in the matter for lack of a quorum.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Maldonado and passed that no action be taken
at this meeting, and that the matter be deferred for one week.
Assistant City Manager Townsend reported that following informal Council
discussions with representatives of the Parkview General Hospital and of the opposi-
tion, relative to the application of the Hospital for a change of zoning from "R -1B"
One -family Dwelling District to "AB" Professional Office District and/or amendment of
Special Council Permit heretofore granted to Parkview General Hospital and Dr. Edwin
E. Connor on all of the Edwin E. Connor Tract, being a 12.772 -acre tract out of Lot
12, Section "A", Paisley's Subdivision of the Hoffman Tract, that the following
Council action is proposed by the Staff: That the request for "AB" Professional
Office District zoning be denied but that, in lieu, the Special Council Permit granted
on November 11,1959, be modified, and explained the proposed conditions and provisions.
Assistant City Manager Townsend explained that the foregoing report has
been submitted to the Hospital representatives for their consideration as to ability
to meet the conditions, and suggested that if the foregoing provisions meet with the
Council's approval, the Staff be instructed to bring forth the ordinance and necessary
documents reflecting such action for consideration at next week's regular meeting.
Lee Mahoney, attorney for Parkview General Hospital, requested an opportunity
to study the wording of the conditions, and confer with his clients as to their
ability to comply.
Mrs. Vida Lee Connor stated that she and her husband, Dr. Connor, own and
operate Parkview General Hospital, that they have a time limit an their loan commitment
and are being pressed for action, and protested against the delays and criticism in
the papers in this matter, and spoke of the efforts and expense they have gone to in
order to provide the additional facilities.
Commissioner Roberts suggested that Mrs. Connor and her attorney confer on
the proposal as submitted by the Staff and return during thP special meeting scheduled
