and support in achieving its urban renewal objectives; that application has been made by
Robert H. Flato for a permit from the Texas Water Rights Commission to authorize the
impoundment of 19 acre-feet of water on the West Nueces River, and that Water Superin-
tendent Atlee Cunningham has conferred with Mr. Jaeggli of the Lower Nueces River
Water Supply District and they are in agreement that the proposed location is above the
fault on the River and would have very little if any effect on our water supply, and stated

application; that the matter of assessment in the amount of $1,204.96 against the Govern-
ment property at the intersection of Holly and Everhart Roads, be deleted from the assessment

City Manager Townsend presented the pending item of Application 0167-4,
American House Moving Company, for change of zoning from ''R -1B" One -family Dwelling
District to "1-3" Heavy Industrial District on Lot 2A, Fallins RiversideSubdivision, on
which a public hearing was held February 2, 1967, and explained that on April 12, 1967,
the Council denied the request but indicated approval of a portion of the area as "A-1" and
the balance of "R-2" subject to the filing of a plat; that a second request for rezoning was
heard by the Council on June 17, 1968, and wasa request for "1-2" which the Council
recommended denial, but by motion extended the special permit for the house moving operation
to January 1, 1969, with a further condition that the tenative approval of April 12, 1967,
would terminate on January 1, 1969, if a plat has not been filed for record by that date.
He stated that a plat cannot be filed until the construction requirements of the Platting
Ordinance are met, and that the owner has advised that they will file the plans for the work
but do not intend to complete the work for at least six months; that it is his recommendation
that the platting requirement be eliminated and that the zoning be acted upon on its merits.
Motion by Bradley, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the recommendation of
the City Manager be concurred in that the plat requirement be waived and that an ordinance
be brought forward effectuating the action of the Council of June 17, 1968, that the area
facing 320 feet on UpRiver Road and extending southward for a depth of 220 feet, be rezoned
"A-1" Apartment House District, and that the balance of the tract be rezoned "R-2" Two-
