In connection with n prorosed ordinance authorizing the acquisition of certain property needed Tn connection with the proposed Corpus Christi Arts and Science Center, C. C. Moore jr., representing himself and his mother as owners of certain property involved, informed the Council. that he had withdrawn his re- quest for a building permit on the property. • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting Novenber 27, 1963 Page 7 Howard Sudduth, attorney representing Mr. Moore and his mother, Mr. Wayne Johnson, Mr. Allison, Ken Gnndd rind, and Corpus Christi Transportation Co., property owners in the area involved, urged that the proposed ordinance not be considered at this time on the basis that although it refers only to the acqui- sition of two lots of land, it envisions a proposed Arts & Science Center for which the property owners involved have not been given an opportunity to be heard in the matter. He presented and briefly explained proposed plats and plans for either development or expansion of existing facilities which have been in the work for some time by each of his clients; called attention to the advertising value and benefit to the City tax -wise in permitting this area to remain on the tax rolls for private enterprise. Wayne Johnson, speaking for himself and Mr. Allison, endorsed Mr. Sudduth's remarks, and emphasized the value of Shoreline property and their efforts for development. Mr.Gunderland emphasized his 30 -years' of business at this location and his desire for expansion; his agreement as to the advantages, both cultural- ly and as a tourist attraction, of an Arts & Science Center, but suggested that the possibility of locating such a Center on another T -Head be considered as a less expensive and more compatible site. Mayor Barnard explained that it is the Council's policy to encourage and assist private enterprise in developing and locating in Corpus Christi, and also to encourage and assist the development by private sources of cultural and civic facilities; that the withdrawal of Mr. Moore's application for a building permit on one of the lots involved would now give the Council time for a more thorough consideration of the matter; and suggested that a public hearing at which the Council and the Zoning & Planning Commission could hear the same evi- dence and presentations would be of great benefit in making the final determina- tion. Motion. by Blackmon, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the proposed ordinance with reference to the acquisition of certain lots in connection with the proposed Arts & Science Center be withdrawn from the agenda. • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting November 27, 1963 Page 8 FIRST READING Or AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE N0. 6331 PROVIDING FOR FEES TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF INSPECTING ESTABLISHMENTS PROCESSING MEAT AND POULTRY FOR HUMAN FOOD, AND PROVIDING FOR THE COLLECTION OF SAID FEES, AND PR0- VIDING FOR CERTAIN REPORTS TO BE MADE BY ESTABLISHMENTS TO WHICH INSPECTION SERVICE IS GRANTED; REPEALING ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH; CONTAINING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR AN El.

Hostutler's showing of willingness to cooperate with the City on this project. COmmissiOner Roberts eugeested that repetition of presentation and consideration, delays to the builders and developers, and duplication of paper work might be eliminatul t respect to requests for Bulking Permits if the matter of permanent zoning along the two main arteries, Leopard Street extend- ed and Lexington Boulevard exterziei, could be decided very shortly and the rest of the permanent zoning der.lid.e at a later date. City Manager Whitney explained that the zoning maps are completed, that the Zoning & Planning COMMi3S1OM is studying them, and that the Commission plans to start, public hearimws in I)acerber, with the exception of the Flour Bluff area which is a problem area. Commissioner Roberts suggested that the problem area be by-passed temporarily in an effort to accommodate 90% of the people who are requesting building permits. Mayor Barnard requested Mr. Whitney to discuss the foregoing sugges- tions with the Zoning & Planning Staff. Commissioner Blackmon referred to the tragedy of a certain traffic accident this morning on the S -Curve on Ocean Drive, and stated he would like to direct the Council's thinking to giving some thought tc eliminating this engineering hazard as the life of one boy is worth far more than the dollars and cents it takes to straighten out this hazard to traffic. Mayor Barnard connected that there is no such thing as a street that can be engineered for absolute safety, but that if there is a safety hazard in this area it should be brought to the Council's attention. Motion by de Leon, seconded by Roberte and passed that the meeting be adjourned. • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting November 27, 1963 Page 9 City Manager Whitney suggested a meeting with Mr. Graham, Director of Public Works, to talk about the matter and work out some tentative arrange- ment while Mr Hostutler is here in the City, and Commissioner Blackmon ex- pressed the Council's appreciation of Mr. Hostutler's showing of willingness to cooperate with the City on this project.
