CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
October 16, 1963
2:00 p.m.
Acting City Manager R. Marvin Townsend
City Attorney I. M. Singer
City Secretary T. Ray Kring
Mayor James L. Barnard called the meeting to order.
The Invocation was given by the Reverend Glen Norman, Pastor of Second
Baptist Church.
City Secretary T. Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance.
Motion by de Leon, seconded by Roberts and passed that the minutes of the
regular meeting of October 9, 1963, at 2 p.m., and of the special meeting of the
same day at 4 p.m., be approved as furnished to the Council.
Mayor Barnard welcomed representatives of the Student Council of W. B.
Ray High School, and explained that Certificates of Attendance would be presented
to each of them later in the meeting, but that he wished to congratulate the Youth
Advisory Council, through them, for the fine work they are doing in connection with
the City's Traffic Court.
Mayor Barnard announced the pending item of the request to waive the
park land requirement in connection with the development of Meadowbrook Park, and
to accept a sum of money in Lieu of the 5 -acres of land for park purposes.
Bob Cantwell, speaking as an individual member of St. Pius X Parish,
spoke at length in support of the request based on the need for this particular
5 acres which is adjacent to a 6 -acre tract owned by the Catholic Church for the
construction of a church and school and playground to serve the area and to relieve
the crowded conditions at St. Patrick's Parish; that no land could be put to a
higher use than the one proposed; that there is no other available land in the area
for this purpose; that there are other park areas within easy radius of the sub-
division; and that the playground proposed for the school would be developed within
a year and would be available to the children in the area.
Dewey Johnson presented a petition containing approximately 145 signa-
tures of residents in Meadowbrook Addition, and a petition containing approximately
•

Page #2
222 signatures of residents in the City requesting that the Council not waive the
5 -acre park land dedication, and urged that the 5 -acres be retained for a public
park on the basis that there are a large number of pre-school children in the
subdivision, and that the developer had obligated himself to provide for a public
park on this 5 acres. He stated that the residents of Meadowbrook Subdivision are
in a position to form an association to help develop the park with the assistance
and guidance of anyone the City designates.
Douglas Maston supplemented the foregoing remarks with information as
to the number of adults and children of high school age or younger living in the
area.
During the general discussion, Commissioner Wallace stated he sympa-
thized with both sides, but considered the land had been contracted for as a public
park when the original plat was approved, that it was too late to change it now,
and that the residents have a prior right over anyone else who might wish to use
the land for other purposes; Commissioner Blackmon stated the residents had bought
their homes relying on the approved plat that the park would be there, and conse-
quently should be given the greater consideration; Commissioner de Leon stated he
believed it was not a legal matter, but a perogative of the Council, that the money
would have to be used for park development in the area and would likely be developed
sooner with the money in trust, and that if the Church had to build only on the
6 acres it would not be able to function as well as if they were allowed the
adjacent 5 acres; Mayor Pro Tem Young stated that he believed the matter could
have been worked out before it came to the Council and prior to filing of the
plat, and expressed the hope that however the decision was made, that the park
would be available to both the area residents and the school. In answer to a
question from the Chair, City Attorney Singer stated that in essence the Council
was contemplating exchanging a contractual right of the City to require the park
to be established for a cash consideration.
Motion by Blackmon, seconded by Roberts and passed with de Leon voting
"Nay", that the park requirement for the Meadowbrook Subdivision not be waived and
the 5 acres in question be retained for park development.

At the request of the Chair, Commissioner Blackmon introduced the re-
presentatives of the Student Council of W. B. Ray High School, and presented Certi-
ficates of Attendance designating them as Honorary Junior City Commissioners to the
following: Danny Davis, president; Dave Tomlin, vice-president; Herby Agan; Candy
Alexander; Kaze Metzger; and Dee Dee Blackmon.
Mayor Barnard announced the pending item of the applications of Cecil
Burney and of Frank Cech for change of zoning from "R -1B" to "I-2" Light Industrial
District on a 3.4 -acre tract, more or less, out of an 8.0 -acre tract of the Hatcu
Tract, and on approximately 3 -acres out of the 8.38 -acre Frank Cech Tract, being
a portion of the Hatch Tract, on which public hearing was held on July 10, 1963.
Mayor Barnard explained in answer to a question of how the development
of the properties in question for a warehouse complex only could be assured and con-
trolled, that one way was by the granting of a special Council permit for this pur-
pose only, and the other was by requiring the owners to file deed restrictions of
record before the ordinance effecting the change of zoning was passed.
Several residents revoiced their opposition to the use of the property
in question for any other purpose than residences; and Commissioner Blackmon stated
that he felt whatever zoning is granted on the portion of the properties in question
will determine what is granted for the balance of the property for which 200' a
zoning application is anticipated, and that in this connection the matter of streets,
buffers, fences, etc. need to be studied, and suggested that it might be advisable
to defer action on these applications until decision could be made on the property
as a whole.
Motion by de Leon, seconded by Blackmon and passed with Wallace abstain-
ing, that action on the foregoing applications be deferred until such time as the
balance of the area is before the Council for zoning, and for further study as to
all of the items mentioned.
Mayor Barnard announced the pending item of the Appeal of $3.99 Economy
Car Rentals of Corpus Christi, Inc., from the Taxicab Inspector's denial of appli-
cation for driverless car franchise, and requested that the minutes reflect the
absence of Mayor Pro Tem Young during consideration of this item.

Motion by Wallace, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the ruling of
the Taxicab Inspector to deny the application of $3.99 Economy Car Rentals of Corpus
Christi, Inc. for a driverless car franchise be overruled, and the franchise be
granted.
Commissioner Blackmon requested that the Legal Staff review the ordinance
governing the granting of franchise for driverless car operations as he believes the
ordinance is too stringent.
Mayor Barnard directed that the minutes reflect the return of Mayor Pro
Tem Young to the meeting.

cation for permanent zoning.
