•
City of Corpus Christi, Texas
Regular Council Meeting

Page 3
of the State Highway Department that the road, if opened, would probably create a
traffic hazard; and that it is the recommendation of the City Staff that the road be
closed as applied for.
No one appeared to speak either for or against the application.
Motion by Wallace, seconded by Blackmon and passed that the hearing be
closed, and that the 60' right-of-way easement in Lots 6, 7, 10 & 11, Section 5,

Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of Synura
Corporation (Bill Martin) for Special Use Permit authorizing the operation of a

City Manager Whitney presented a map showing the location on Grande Court
property on Corpus Christi Beach of the proposed carnival or amusement rides for
children; pointed out that the application is not for a change of zoning, but for
Special Use Permit to allow the kiddie ride operation, and that no musical accom-
wwE is planned for the all -electric operation of the rides; that 3 returns had
been received by the Commission in favor of the request, and 1 against, and 2 letters
received since then in favor of the request; and that the recommendation of the
Zoning & Planning Commission was that the request be denied.
W. H. Martin, applicant, spoke in support of the request, explained the
type of rides, the safety devices, and hours of operation for children, and urged
that the request be granted on the basis that it would provide needed facilities for
the entertainment of children on Corpus Christi Beach, that it was not objectionable
to most of the property owners, and would be an improvement.
Harold D. Livezey, Manager of Grande Courts, and Mrs. Edna B. Adams, 421
Elm, spoke in support of the request.
No one appeared to speak in opposition to the request.
During the discussion, the possibility of granting the request on a 6 -months'
or year's basis, and reserving the right of the City to stop the operation at any
time if it became a nuisance was discussed, and Mr. Martin stated that he would be
glad to agree in writing that if at any time the amusement center became a nuisance,

or became incompatible with other development of the Beach, the equipment would be
moved upon notice to that effect.

and the request for a Special Use Permit to allow the operation of a carnival on
Lots 10 & 12, Block 54, and Lots 2 & 4, Block 55, Brooklyn Addition, be granted
subject to provisions as to safeguards and restrictions as to time and number of
rides, and the additional provision for cancellation if it was determined by the
Council that the operation was a nuisance.
Mayor Barnard called for the City Manager's Reports.
Motion by de Leon, seconded by Roberts and passed that the City Manager's

g. That amendment to the ordinance establishing sewer tap fees decreasing
the cost of sewer taps in the streets and increasing the charge in the easement for
a uniform charge so as to encourage future subdivision developers to make such con-
nections in the streets to alleviate future maintenance work and more nearly reflect
the direct costs involved, be approved;
h. That contract with Statistical Investment Company for lease of a #403
I.B.M. Accounting Machine for a monthly rental of $420.00, be approved.
Roy Long, speaking for the Home Building Industry, was concerned at any
increase in the cost of building homes, and requested that the proposed ordinance
increasing certain sewer tap charges be deferred for at least a week to give the
Home Builders Association an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the parti-
culars as it affects the cost of homes.
After a brief discussion, it was decided to place the proposed ordinance
on three readings, removing the emergency clause, thereby giving ample time for
study and consideration before final passage.
