Motion by de Leon, seconded by Roberts and passed that the minutes

Mayor Barnard announced the opening of bids.
Bids were opened and read on 6 items of Traffic Signal Equipment from

tenance Corp.
The foregoing bids were tabled for 48 hours as required by the City
Charter, and referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation.
Mayor Barnard welcomed to the meeting and recognized Colonel and Mrs.
Joseph Wiegand of the Sister City Steering Committee for the purpose of making a
presentation to the City of a gift from our Sister City Yokosuka, Japan.
Mrs. Wiegand, as president of the Coastal Bend Shell Club, and on be-
half of the Sister City Steering Committee reported that she has placed in the
custody of Mr. Aalbert Heine, Director of the Corpus Christi Museum, two giant
crabs, male and female, the world's largest species, a gift from our Sister City,
Yokosuka, Japan, to the citizens of Corpus Christi, and that the giant crabs will
be on display in the near future at the museum. Colonel and Mrs. Wiegand explained
that the meat is not suitable for eating, but that fishermen used to hang its
carapace, or shell, at the door as a charm for chasing devils out of fishing villages
in Japan. These specimens were collected at Suruga Bay, 80 miles south of Tokyo,
by Dr. Y. Haneda, Director of Yokosuka City Museum, Curator T. Shibata, and City
Chief Liaison Officer T. Iwata especially for presentation to Corpus Christi.

Mrs. Wiegand introduced the new chairman of the Sister City Steering
Committee, Elmer Pope, who told the Council of a recent gift to Yokosuka of some
books by the Steering Committee, and briefly mentioned some plans of the Committee
for the People -to -People program for the coming year.
Mayor Barnard announced the pending item of the request of Mrs. Dorothy
O'Kelley for an Interim Zoning Permit to locate a 36' x 8' house trailer on blocks
with wheels attached on Lot 3, Block 2, Haigler Addition, at 10917 Annaville Road,
which was recommended for denial by the Zoning & Planning Commission on the basis
that mobile homes are incompatible with the existing and future residential develop-
ment of the area; and reminded the Council that at last week's meeting, a motion
to deny the request had failed to pass, and that a motion to grant the request for
a period of two years had failed to pass with a sufficient majority to overrule
the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission.
Mrs. Dorothy O'Kelley, applicant, explained she desired to use the trailer
as her residence until she was able to build a permanent home on the property;
and felt that the proposed use was not detrimental to the area on the basis of
the use of neighboring lots for raising anything from hogs to "you name it, they
got it" on a commercial basis.
Receipt of written approval of the request of Mr. & Mrs. A. L. Carlile,
10922 Annaville Road, Mr. & Mrs. Nienes Martinez, 10918 Annaville Road, and Mrs.
Fred Stewart, 10912 Annaville Road, was noted for record.
No one appeared in opposition to the request.
Commissioner Blackmon requested that the minutes reflect he had abstained
from taking part in this matter since he represents Mrs. O'Kelley in another
matter.
Motion by Wallace, seconded by Roberts and passed with six "Ayes," with
Commissioner Blackmon abstaining, that the request of Mrs. Dorothy O'Kelley for
an Interim Zoning Permit to locate a 36' x 8' house trailer on blocks attached
on Lot 3, Block 2, Haigler Addition, at 10917 Annaville Road, be granted for a
period of 2 years.
Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the request of the Corpus

Christi Independent School District, for the closing of a 5' wide utility ease-
ment out of and along the rear or northerly boundary of Lots 1 through 11, in-
clusive, Block 11, Gardendale No. 3.
City Manager Whitney presented a map of the area; pointed out that the
School District is the owner of the property abutting both sides of the utility
easement in question; and that the City departments offer no objection to the
closing as there are no utilities in the easement affected since the School District
owns the entire tract.
Mr. Herbert Mifflin, 5510 Williams Drive, on behalf of two other property
owners and himself, appeared in favor of the request as it will give the school
more property which has only been used up to now as a cotton patch.
No one appeared in opposition to the closing.
Motion by Wallace, seconded by Young and passed that an ordinance be
brought forward reflecting the closing of the 5' wide utility easement, being the
northeast 5 feet of Lots 1 through 11, Block 11, Gardendale No. 3 Additions
Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the closing of portions of
Lily Street, Rose Street, and an unnamed street in Barthlome Addition.
City Manager Whitney explained that this was in effect a re -hearing since
subsequent to the original hearing on this matter, the engineering department has
suggested a few slight changes in the previous proposed street pattern which re-
quired changes in the original description of the portions of the streets pro-
posed to be closed.
Obie Etheridge, City Engineer, presented drawings of the new street
pattern proposed as a means of eliminating multiple street intersections to get
a more efficient use of the streets and to eliminate the traffic hazards and con-
centrate the traffic on the major streets, and explained that the changes were
proposed to make the street pattern satisfy the objections to the original pro-
posal voiced by various property owners.
Receipt of a telephone call was noted for the record from Mrs. Stafford,
3102 Lawrence Drive, stating she was not able to be present due to illness, but that
she was very much in favor of the closings as a traffic safety measure as she lives

right on the corner of Lawrence Drive and every day sees children almost hit by
cars and accidents and near accidents of cars,
Mrs. Myrtle Pickett, secretary to D. W. Grant, owner of 6 rental units at
the corner of Antelope & Lily, appeared in opposition to the closings as stated in
Mr. Grant's letter, on the basis that the amended plan for the closing of Lily Street
and Rose Street will increase the parking hazard on Antelope in connection with the
St. John's Lutheran Church and Day School, and will depreciate property value by
the elimination of direct access to the Freeway.
Mr. Charlie Lyman, attorney representing Crystal Petroleum Company, stated
they were not as opposed to the amended street pattern and closings as they were to
the previous plan, but that they preferred that the streets remain as they exist
now.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the hearing be
closed.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Maldonado and passed that an ordinance be
brought forward designating the closing of the streets under discussion according
to the map designed and prepared by the Engineering Department presented at this
meeting.
Mayor Barnard called for the City Manager's Reports.
The Council desired to consider Item "f" of the City Manager's Reports
relative to a proposed agreement with the State Library Board, and Item "h" rela-
tive to requests for Iaterim Zoning Permits, each separately, and therefore Mayor
Barnard called for a motion on Items "a" through "e", Item "g" and Item "i" of
the City Manager's Reports.
Motion by Young, seconded by Wallace and passed that the City Manager's
Reports be accepted, and the recommendations and requests relative to Items "a"
through "e", Item "g" and Item "i" be approved and granted, as followso
a. That an agreement with the Corpus Christi Bank & Trust Company be
approved, whereby the City will remove the parking meters from the Leopard Street
frontage of the bank property and designate such as a "No Parking" zone for the
beautification of the sidewalk area by the planting of trees by the Bank and the

proper maintenance and indemnification of the City against all claims by reason

Company, for the closing and abandoning of the 10' utility easement along the

per hour, not to exceed $900.00, with the City performing the necessary clerical
work.
Motion by de Leon, seconded by Maldonado that Item "f" of the City Manager's
Reports relative to a proposed agreement between the City and the Texas State Library
for mutual covenants for participation in a state-wide plan for the development of a
Library services program under the Library Services and Construction Act, Public
Law 88-269, be approved.
Commissioner Wallace was opposed to the proposed agreement because he be-
lieves that the providing of funds for library plants, books and services are a
local matter and best administered on a local level, and because he is opposed to
further increasing governmental control at the federal level.
Commissioner de Leon strongly favored the program because he feels that
since this amended version of the 1956 Act includes construction, that it is a way
of affording areas to have larger library facilities, and that it is important for
the City to participate in the program because the taxpayers are paying for it
anyway.
Commissioner Roberts felt this was another encroachment of federal govern-
ment at a local level; that we have taken a stand that our tidelands and taxes
for school children belong to the State of Texas, and that this is another thing
that should be kept for Texas, and that we should take a strong stand locally and
turn our backs on a federal hand-out.
Commissioner de Leon stated that the federal government was not going to
handle these funds, but that money appropriated in U.S. Congress on a matching
fund basis in this instance was to be handled by the State.
On vote, Mayor Pro Tem Young, Commissioners Blackmon, de Leon, and Maldonado
voted "Aye," and Commissioners Roberts and Wallace voted "Nay." Mayor Barnard
declared the motion to approve the proposed agreement had passed.
Motion by Wallace, seconded by de Leon that Item "h" of the City Manager's
Reports relative to four requests for Interim Zoning Permits be approved as
recommended by the Zoning & Planning Commission, as follows;

(1) #62-112, Herrin Advertising, to locate a 10' x 40° advertising sign
on the Texas -Mexican Railroad right of way, approximately 235° east of the en-
trance to International Airport, be denied on the basis that the size and location
of the sign would create a hazard by obstructing the view and would set a dangerous
precedent.
(2) #62-113, H. J. Allison, to erect a 12' x 24' frame addition to the
existing building for a beauty shop on Lot 8, Block 2, Medford Subdivision, at
10659 Leopard Street, be approved.

separate carports on a portion out of Lot 11, Section 53, Flour Bluff and Encinal
Farm and Garden Tracts, at 3040 Jamaica Drive, be approved subject to the regula-
tions of the "AB" Professional Office District and on the basis that it constitutes
an extension of the existing apartment use and complies with the proposed permanent
zoning plan of that area.
(4) #61-39, Jon B. Held, to re-establish a trailer park and re -arrange
portions of the layout of the park on a portion out of Lots 1, 2, 9 & 10, Section
56, Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, at Lexington Boulevard and
Humble Trailer Park, be approved subject to the following conditions: (1) That

property; (3) That outdoor advertising be restricted to one 100 square foot
identification sign; (4) That all driveway and parking surfaces for the trailer
park be constructed of all-weather surfacing; (5) That every trailer space be
furnished with a connection to City sewer or a private sewerage disposal system
approved by the Public Works Department of the City of Corpus Christi in accord-
ance with public health standards and that no community sanitary facilities be
permitted; (6) That outside plumbing be prohibited, that all trailers be modern
and equipped with minimum features - comode, tub or shower, and sink; (7) That
the owner or operator of the trailer park be responsible for the storage and
disposal of garbage and refuse; (8) That trailer not be set on permanent founda-
tion so as to permit ready removal at all times; (9) That a minimum open space of
10 feet in depth around each trailer be provided from adjacent property and
division lines and that no building or trailer be allowed to project nearer to
the front building lines than the established building line in that block; (10)
That all plumbing and electrical wiring meet national and local standards for
trailer parks; (11) That all other regulations of Trailer Ordinance No. 786 be
complied with.
In connection with Item h(4), Mr. Held requested that he be allowed at
least a 200 square foot identification sign as he explained that a 100 square
foot sign is pretty small when it is 6 or 8 feet off the ground.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Maldonado that condition (3) of Item h(4)
relating to the size of sign allowed, be amended to a 200 square foot sign.
Commissioner Blackmon asked if the size of the sign permitted under an
Interim Zoning Permit is designated in the Zoning Ordinance, and if this request
and motion is a variance. Mr. Lake replied that any conditions attached to an
Interim Zoning Permit are done so by the Council, that the 100 square foot
designation recommended by the Zoning & Planning Commission was based on what has
been done on previous Interim Permits, but that it was his opinion that the size

of the sign permitted could be changed in any way the Council desired.
On vote, Mayor Pro Tem Young, Commissioners Maldonado and Roberts
voted "Aye," Commissioners de Leon, Blackmon, and Wallace voted "Nay," and Mayor
Barnard then voted "Aye." Mayor Barnard declared the motion to amend Item h(4)
the Jon Held request for an Interim Zoning Permit, to designate the size of the
identification sign to a 200 square foot sign, had passed.
Voting on the motion by Wallace, seconded by de Leon to approve the re-
commendations of the Zoning & Planning Commission relative to four requests for

approve (2) #62-113, H. J. Allison, for a beauty shop; to approve (3) #61-38,
