tion; explained that notices had been sent to the surrounding property owners to

Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the application of H. E. Butt
Grocery Company for a change of zoning from "A-1" Apartment House District to "B-1"
Neighborhood Business District on a 15.5 acre tract out of the Uriah Lott Tract, or
Port Aransas Cliff Block #913, and May Tract, located on the southwest corner of
the intersection of Minnesota Street and South Alameda Street.
Tom Lake, Zoning Coordinator, located the property on the map; pointed
out the zoning and land use of the area; explained that the applicant was repre-
sented at the Commission hearing and one person spoke in opposition; that 31 notices
were sent out, 7 returns were received in favor of the request, and one against;
and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission was that the re-
quest be approved subject to a proper plat.
M. B. Reasoner, Vice -President of H. E. Butt Grocery Company, in support
City of Corpus Christi, Texas
Regular Council Meeting

of the application, pointed out the subject property is approximately 15 acres of
a 20 -acre tract presently zoned "A-1" but is a cotton field which he felt has been
valued quite high for tax purposes for a number of years; that the request for change
of zoning embodies the extension of Ft. Worth Street which has been previously
petitioned for by parents of children attending Fisher and Wilson Schools, and by
residents of Tom Graham Gardens; and that there is also a need for the extension of
Rossiter Street. He presented a site plan showing the extension of Ft. Worth Street
through the subject property; the 11 -acre portion of the tract they are offering as
a gift to Fisher School for a much needed playground area between the proposed Ft.
Worth Street extension and the Fisher School property, and showing an area approxi-
mately 560' x 330' they intend to leave as a buffer zone to the residential area
adjacent to the subject property. He stated the Jewish Synagogue was offering half
the right of way on their property line for the extension of Rossiter Street, that
his company will assist the City in acquiring half the right of way along the Alameda
Baptist Church property line, and has committed itself in this letter of application
to retain a 40' strip along the entire south property line for this Rossiter Street
extension; and will pay for the curb and guttering for the full length of Ft. Worth
adjoining the company's property. He pointed out the desirability of a "B-1" use of
property as compared to that of an "A-1" Apartment House use with respect to the con-
gestion of people, automobiles and traffic. Mr. Reasoner stated there are no im-
mediate plans for development of the subject property, but that they believe a modern
shopping center in keeping with the surrounding structures of homes, schools, churches,
etc. or an office building or comparable development would serve the neighborhood
better than any other type of development.
J. R. Sorrell, attorney for H. E. Butt Grocery Company, stated that no cuts
in the curbline for entrance ways into the extension of Ft. Worth Street were con-
templated until beyond the front of the school; that the company would erect some
type of barrier along the Ft. Worth side of the property and expect the School to
erect an overlapping barrier along the property being donated to the School, to dis-
pourage foot traffic from the School Campus; that there would be no curb openings or

driveways from this property into Minnesota; and that with signals or Patrol Guards
and School Traffic Patrols they anticipated no traffic problem. Mr. Sorrell pointed
out that the site plan shown for the extension of Ft, Worth Street was the result of
study and consultatim with the City Planning and Traffic Engineering Staff, and that
the offer of the giving of half of the right of way for any future extension of
Rossiter Street would be included in the final plat if the City so desired. He
urged that the application be granted to give the City its maximum tax value and
allow development in that area.
City Manager Whitney explained that extending of Rossiter Street has been
studied by the Traffic Engineer and the Traffic Safety Advisory Board and the problem
with respect to the narrowness and use of the streets in the area for parking and
the type of paving which was not designed to carry the additional traffic such ex-
tension would encourage; but stated that it was very desirable to extend Ft, Worth
Street.

No one appeared in opposition to the application.

Motion by de Leon, seconded by Maldonado and passed that the recommendation

the 15.5 acre tract out of the Uriah Lott Tract, or Port Aransas Cliff #913, and
IMay Tract, located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Minnesota and South
IAlameda Streets described in the application, subject to a proper plat.
Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on an application for change of
street name of Surf Drive in Shoreline Estates to Bayshote-Baycliff Drive.
City Manager Whitney located thestreet on the map as being an entrance
street from Ocean Drive and from Kentner Street to Bayshore Drive and to Baycliff
Drive, and explained that the residents of Shoreline Estates had requested the
change in order to allow people travelling Kentner and Ocean Drive to locate these
two streets, and that the various City Departments had no objection.

Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the abandoning of a portion
of Niagara Street, between Heinley and Morgan.
City Manager Whitney pointed out the two areas in the Niagara Street right of
way proposed to be closed on a map of the intersection of Niagara and Morgan, and
explained the necessity for this action in connection with the rearrangement of the
intersection to tie into the Crosstown Expressway. He pointed out the rearrangement
of the streets at the intersection on a map of the final plan in which 19th Street
will go under the Crosstown Expressway and Niagara will come into 19th Street at a right
angle; and stated the proposed abandonment will not affect the existing water, gas
and sewer lines in this location. Mr. Whitney recommended that the matter be tabled
to allow an opportunity for negotiations with respect to necessary right of way
purchases.
No one appeared in opposition to the abandonment.

Dunn Survey A-970, Saxet Field.
City Manager Whitney located the two wells on the map as described in the
application; stated that the application was in order as to submission of proper
papers, and that the Public Works Department certifies that boundary and structure
clearance requirements comply with City and State regulations; and recommended ap-
proval of the request.

and for teenage activities; and emphasized that they were asking for a loan from
the City for the cost of heating and air conditioning the building which they were
willing to pay back at the rate of $1,500 a year, and asking that the Council let
the rental revenue of the building go toward payment of the loan until paid in
full. Mrs. Pichinson stated that the estimate of the City's engineers of $16,000

for this work exceeds the verified estimate by Hill Air Conditioning Company by
$6,000, and that perhaps the City's engineers did not know that everything necessary
for the installations was built into the building.
The Council agreed to reconsider the matter at its Monday evening Work Shop
session.
Commissioner de Leon reported receipt of letters written in Spanish from
two different cities in Chile expressing the desire to be a Sister City to Corpus
Christi, and suggested the letters be referred to the Sister City Committee.
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting
was adjourned.
