the nonconsumption of alcoholic beverages on the premises be enforced.

adjoining property to provide sufficient depth for the proposed development.

Mr. Ira E. Hayley, applicant, appeared on behalf of his request and stated that
he wishes to construct an apartment building on a lot which has been acquired, but does not
have sufficient depth to accomplish his purpose and have the required set back. He stated
that at one time the plan called for an entrance into West Guth Park to the adjoining addition;
that when he purchasedhis property, he donated a street for this purpose; that it was agreed by
the School District and the County at that time that if the City or County took this street they
would give a like amount of land off of West Guth Park to compensate. He stated that since
that time they have cut out two entrances and built fences eliminating the entrance on that
side, Mr. Hayley presented his plans showing where it would be impossible to build the
proposed apartments if the streetis not closed; that he had not discussed the cul-de-sac with
the Staff, but that there would be a 150' area for turning and operation of the fire equipment.
He stated that he would alter his plan so as to clearly differentiate the street entrance and
the driveway.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Sizemore and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Bradley and passed, that the western 210 feet

Mr. Lloyd Hover, 3420 East Causeway, appeared and spoke on behalf of the
United Federation of Postal Clerks and employees of the Main Post Office, in opposition
to the ordinance authorizing the instal lotion of parking meters along Buffalo and Antelope
Streets between Tancahua and Carrizo.as requested by property owners in this area. He stated
there are no retail businesses in the area, and that the meters will force the employees who
go to work at midnight and get off during the morning, to seek parking places farther away.
He stated he does not feel it is the function of the City to clear the streets for some businesses
which would work a hardship on others, and requested that the Council not approve the ordinance.
Mr. Hover was accompanied by Mrs. Schroeder and three others in opposition to the meter
installation as proposed.
Mayor Blackmon explained that the ordinance is being placed on a:three-reading
basis and that the action taken at this time would not be final.

and others, in the opinion that the property will not be enhanced in value to the amount of
the assessment by virtue of making Ocean Drive an arterial thoroughfare.
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was
adjourned.
