Cleveland, district manager of the local Social Security Administration, who extended an invitation for the Mayor and Council to attend the open house and dedication of the new Social Security office at 1802 South Staples Street on May 8th at 2:30 p.m.; TEXAS NURSE WEEK, May 10-16, 1964, recognizing the birthdate of Florence Nightingale on May 12th, accepted by Mrs. Snell, graduate nurse, and Miss Allen, student nurse at the Dougherty School of Nursing.

City Manager Whitney and Tom Lake,Zoning Coordinator, briefly reviewed the past history of the proposed use and plan of development of the operation at this location; the prior changes in zoning; the franchise for the ammonia line in the alley; the conditions and stipulations contained in the special Council permit previously granted for this operation; the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the present request under consideration be approved subject to the continuance of the existing fence of a similar construction along the perimeter of the subject property adjacent to Alameda and Elizabeth Streets; and the request of • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting May 6, 1964 Page 2 the applicant for the deletion of the requirement of the fence in front of the building proposed to be constructed. Mrs Whitney further stated that relative to the complaint made regarding the incinerator, the Fire Marshall's inspection report indicates that it meets the City requirements in every way according to the Code. Commissioner Wallace suggested that the matter be discussed at the coming Work Shop meeting. Perry Keesee, general manager of Knolle Dairies, pointed out that a pend- ing option for the purchase of 2 of the lots involved in the application expires before next week's Council meeting, and that the location of another industry on the west side of Corpus Christi will be determined by the outcome of this appli- cation; and in answer to questions from the Council, explained that the building starts on the other side of the opening referred to on Alameda and extends 1251, which refers to Lots 1, 2, 3 & 4 that would not be occupied by the building, and it was those 4 lots for which it was requested to use some other type fence than is there now, and the office building to take the place of a fence. Mayor Barnard stated the Council would make a decision before this meet- ing adjourns, and Mr. Keesee would be notified. Mayor Barnard announced the opening of bids. Bids were opened and read on various lengths of 1", 2", 4" and 6" Steel Pipe from the following; Apex Pipe, Inc.; E -Z Pipe & Steel, Inc.; Norvell-Wilder Supply Co.; Republic Supply Co.; Superior Iron Works & Supply Co.; Crane Supply Co.; The L.

City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting May 6, 1964 Page 3 Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of Humble Oil 6, Refining Company for permit to drill and operate a well upon Corpus Christi Drilling Block No. 1534, being a regular 6820' budgeted Flour Bluff Field well, in Lot 3, Block 41 of the Flour Bluff & Encinal Subdivision, Nueces County, Texas, Lease #56015, the objective (center of a 100' diameter circle at 6676' T.V.D.) is located 380' northeast of the southwest line of the lease and 1486' northwest of R. G. Chapman #1, City Manager Whitney located the proposed drilling operations on the map. Mayor Barnard explained that the Council was concerned with the variances requested in the application, and in an effort to expedite matters, had requested at the Work Shop meeting that these variances be referred to the Oil & Gas Wells Commission, therefore the Council would not take final action on the request at this time, Don McReynolds, representing Humble Oil & Refining Company, explained the request to drill from a surface location which is owned by the company in lieu of the previously approved location and for the deletion of the indemnity provision as a condition of the permit; and stated the company is willing to assume the burdens imposed at law, but if the permit is granted that it be modified at least to the extent of indemnity for all damages provided at law, as the company is trying to avoid an extention of the ordinary liability that would be imposed at law. Faires Wade, representing C. F. Ditty, asked if a City permit is required for the company to lay pipelines across private property, and if this well will be the one allowed under the ordinance within that 40 acres. Howard Sudduth, representing Mr. Anderson, owner of the Padre Motel, asked if the surface location or the bottom location would determine the official loca- tion of the well, and pointed out that being in different drilling blocks it would create a problem as to which surface owners were entitled to compensation for damages; and urged that the same indemnity provision be included in the granting of a new permit as was included in the previous permit, and pointed out that even though it might not be within the same drilling block as the well, his client's motel would still be close enough to suffer damages due to the noise; and urged further that • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting May 60 1964 Page 4 the Council consider the present circumstances and conditions and not those that existed when the lease was bought several years ago when the area was unpopulated, Motion by Roberts, seconded by Young and passed that the hearing be closed, Mayor Barnard requested that the question of the official location of the well, the top or the bottom, also be submitted to the Oil & Gas Wells Commission, In answer to a question of Mro Sudduth, Mayor Barnard informed him that Mro Binford Arney was chairman of the Oil & Gas Wells Commission and assumed he would be glad to hear from him for consideration of his views in the matter, Motion by de Leon, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the matter of the application of Humble Oi]. 6 Refining Company for a permit to drill be taken under advisement, Mayor Barnard declared a brief recess. After a brief recess, Mayor Barnard called the meeting to order, and it was noted that all members of the Council, the City Manager, City Attorney, and City Secretary were in attendance. Mayor Barnard called for a motion on the pending application of Knolle Jersey Milk Products Company fora change of zoning from "A-2" Apartment House District to "B-5" Primary :Jusiness District on all of Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6, Block 4, Booty and Allen Addition, Motion by Wallace, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the recommenda- tion of the Zoning & Planning Commission be concurred in, and the change of zoning from "A-2" to "B-5" Primary Business District, on all of Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6, Block 4, Booty and Allen Addition, be granted subject to the continuance of a solid concrete fence similar to existing fence along the perimeter of the subject property adjacent to Alameda and Elizabeth Streets, except in front of the pro- posed building (See Exhibits A & B for approved type of similar fend) (To be attached to ordinance) Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of Mr. & Mrs. Robert W, King, Mr, & Mrs, H. Go McCallum and Mro & Mrs. Len D, Redden for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Busi- ness District on all of Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9, Block 3, Flour Bluff Heights, and all of Lot 4, Block 2, Flour Bluff Heights. • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting May 6, 1964 Page 5 Tom Lake located the property on the map; pointed out the zoning and land use of the area; stated that the applicant had appeared in support of the request at the Commission hearing and one person in opposition; that 25 notices were sent out, and no returns were receivedeitherfor or against; and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission was that the request be denied on the basis that approval would constitute spot zoning and encroachment of busi- ness into a residential area. In answer to questions from the Council, Mr. Lake stated that the applicant had not presented any specific plans for the property, and that the area of request is designated as "R -1B" on the proposed new zoning map, Robert King, applicant, explained that when he appeared before the Com- mission he was ignorant as to zoning requirements; that a lesser zoning classifi- cation would probably suit his needs; that he had purchased his property with the idea that it would eventually become business area; that he had purchased and moved onto the property an old Navy barracks, and spent the last five years remodel- ing it for his home and a future business use; that he hoped to be able to use a portion of the remodeled barracks for an exclusive restaurant or a private dining club in connection with a contemplated marina -type trailer park on the 40 - acre adjacent property to the rear; that the other applicants had joined with him with an idea for a day nursery operation, or some other type of small business, but that the owner of Lot 4, Block 2, which is across the street from the rest of the subject property, is willing to withdraw his portion of the application if this is what constitutes spot zoning, as will Mrs. McCallum who owns Lot 9, of Block 3. He explained that due to illness and recent personal problems and finan- cial reverses, there is a real need for him to establish some type of business operation on his property; and pointed out that the subject property is not suit- able for residential development since Skipper Lane is becoming a main thorough- fare for traffic to the boat basin at the east end of Skipper Lane, and since the subject property is in the flight path from the Naval Air Base nearby. Mrs. H. G. McCallum, applicant, spoke in support of Mr. King's plea on the basis that if they have to sell their property and move into the City when Mr. McCallum retires next year, they will not be able to sell for residential use • City of Corpus Christi,Texas Regular Council Meeting May 6, 1964 Page 6 due to the noise and interference of planes from the Base, that she is contemplat- ing a tennis court and soft drink stand for her young son to operate, but that she is ready to withdraw her portion of the application so as not to jeopardize the granting of zoning for Mr. King's property because she knows his need. Mr. Adolph Kraft, owner of Lots 5 & 6, in Block 2, spoke in opposition to any change of zoning that would allow the sale of beer adjacent to, or across the street from his rental property. Motion by Roberts, seconded by de Leon and passed that the hearing be closed. Motion by Wallace, seconded by Blackmon that the change of zoning be granted as prayed for. Commissioner de Leon pointed out that the application requested "B-4" General Business District zoning and that the applicant has stated he would be satisfied with lesser zoning, that the Zoning & Planning Commission has recommended denial as spot zoning, and suggested that the application be tabled until definite plans are presented for determination of the proper zoning for the area. Commis- sioner Roberts suggested that since so much of the area is undeveloped, it is difficult to anticipate a use as heavy as "B-4" so close to residences, and that "B-1" zoning might satisfy the applicant's need at this time and be more compatible to the residential uses. Motion by Wallace, seconded by Roberts that the motion be amended to grant the change of zoning from "R -1B" to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. Commissioner de Leon suggested again that action on this application be deferred until more definite plans are presented. Mr. King reminded the Council that the other applicants were willing to withdraw their property from the appli- cation if it would help to get his property zoned. Motion by Wallace, seconded by Roberts that the motion be further amended to approve "B-1" zoning on Lots 4 through 9, Block 3, of the application and to deny any change of zoning on Lot 4, Block 2, of the application. On vote, Commissioners Young, de Leon, Roberts, and Wallace voted "Aye" and Mayor Barnard and Commissioner Maldonado voted "Nay" and Commissioner Blackmon • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting May 6, 1964 Page 7 abstained. Mayor Barnard declared the motion had been defeated since in this instance it required at least 5 affirmative votes to overrule the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission, and called for another motion. Motion by Blackmon, seconded by de Leon and passed that the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of Mr. Joseph Sanfilippo for change of zoning from "3-4" General Business District to "B-5" Pri- mary Business District on all of Lot 29, Block "A", Peary Place Subdivision. Tom Lake located the property on the map; pointed out the zoning and land use of the area; stated that the applicant and a representative of the Walton Neon Company had appeared in support of the request at the Commission hearing; that 6 notices were sent out, that one return was received in favor of the request, and one against; and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission was that the request be denied but that in lieu a Special Permit for an outdoor adver- tising sign be approved subject to: (1) The sign sketch as submitted by the ap- plicant; and (2) All other regulations of the 'B-5" Primary Business District. Mr. Lake presented the sign sketch submitted by the applicant referred to in the foregoing recommendation. Mr. Joseph Sanfilippo, applicant, spoke in support of his request on the basis that his place of business is ready to open across the street, and he needs to put up the requested sign on the subject property for advertising. No one appeared in opposition to the request. Motion by Wallace, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the hearing be closed. Motion by de Leon, seconded by Roberts and passed that the recommenda- tion of the Zoning & Planning Commission be concurred in, and the request for change of zoning on Lot 29, Block "A", Peary Place Subdivision be denied but in lieu a Special Permit for an outdoor advertising sign be approved subject to: (1) the sign sketch as submitted by the applicant; and (2) all other regulations of the "B15" Primary Business District. Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of C. A. Mansheim for change of zoning from "B -1P Tourist Court District to "B-1" Neigh- • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting May 6, 1964 Page 8 borhood Business District on all of Lots 9 & 109 Block VI, Corpus Beach Hotel Addition. Tom Lake located the property on the map; pointed out the zoning and land use of the area; stated that the applicant had appeared in support of the request at the Commission hearing, and 2 persons in opposition; that 11 notices were sent out, 2 returns were received in favor of the request and one against, and one conditionally against the zoning but not opposed to the specified use; and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission was that the request be denied but that in lieu a Special Permit for a washateria be approved subject to compliance with all other regulations of the "B-1" Neighborhood District. Mr. C. A. Mansheim, applicant, spoke in support of his request, and ex- plained that the existing building was the right size and construction for a washateria, that it would serve about 60 rental units that he owned along the water, and that when he had talked to the property owners on both sides of the subject property, they had no objection to the washateria. Mrs. C. H. Cunningham, owner of the Tourist Court next to the area of request, spoke in opposition to the change of zoning and to the proposed use for a washateria on the basis of the substandard condition of the existing building, the noise created by this type of all-night operation, the fact that it extends over City property, and that she considers it spot zoning and feels there is sufficient business zoning on the beach now. She presented and read a letter on behalf of the Corpus Christi Beach Women's Club expressing its opposition to any spot zoning anywhere on Corpus Christi Beach, to business next to their courts, and requesting consideration for including improvements of recreational facilities in the Beach area in the coming bond election. The owner of the Tropical Motel, 4302 Surfside, urged that a public beach and recreational facilities be provided for the Corpus Christi Beach for the benefit of the tourists who prefer to stay on the Beach, and objected to the discontinuation a couple of years ago of the presence of a lifeguard on the public beach, Mayor Barnard explained it is the intention of this Council to have a public beach on Corpus Christi Beach in conjunction with the park on the land of the Old Epworth Wye that was donated to the City for a park, and that the City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting May 6, 1964 Page 9 inclusion of the money for the purchase of land for this purpose in the coming bond issue is being proposed by the Council, and hoped that the citizens would all vote for the bond proposals; and City Manages Whitney explained that the life- guard had been discontinued at the recommendation of the Park Board since all of the City owned property in the area is now submerged with the erosion of Shoreline Boulevard at that section. Mayor Barnard noted for the record receipt of a communication from A. A. Lichtenstein, owner of the Breakers Hotel, in the support of the application. Motion by Roberts, seconded by Wallace and passed that the hearing be closed. Motion by Wallace, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the recommendation of the Zoning & PlanningCosm®.ission be concurred in, and the request for change of zoning on Lots 9 & 10, Block VI, Corpus .Each Hotel Addition be denied but that in lieu a Special Permit for a wa.shateria be approved subject to compliance with all other regulations of the "B-1" Neighborhood Business District, Mayor Barnard called for the City Manager's Reports. Commissioner Blackmon was excused for cause from the balance of the meeting, and Commissioner Roberts was excused temporarily .from the meeting for cause. Motion by Young, seconded by de Leon and passed, with Wallace voting "Nay" on Item "b", relative to replacement of the door at Parkdale Branch Library, and on Item "j", relative to the band concerts, and Blackmon and Roberts, absent at the voting, that the City Manager's Reports be accepted, and recommendations and requests be approved and granted, as follows. a.
