Mayor Blackmon announced the opening of bids.
Bids were opened and read for construction of the Wet Well at West Side Sewage
Treatment Plant from the following firms: Emil J. Netek Construction Company; Maverick
Construction Company; R. S. Black; and Casey and Glass, Inc.
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 Blackmon announced the public hearing on the request of First State Bank to
close to vehicular traffic that portion of an alley easement crossing Lots 15 and 16, Block 23,
Del Mar Addition.
City Manager Townsend presented the request and stated it had come from Mr. Joseph
Hans, architect for the First State Bank, and that their letter of request had stated that the
Bank proposes to simultaneously, upon the closing of the vehicular traffic portion of this
easement, grant an additional easement for the purposes of vehicular traffic from the point
of closing to Clifford Street. Mr. Townsend pointed out on a map the exact locations of the
portions to be closed and substituted; explained that the proposal had been published, and
circulated in the usual manner through the affected City Departments, and that property owners
within the notification area had been notified. He stated that responses from the Fire Department
and Traffic Engineer indicate that moving of the subject easement will not affect the operation of
the Fire Equipment and that from the standpoint of traffic, it is a logical proposal and would
improve banking operations by separating the parking lot traffic from the drive-in window
traffic. Mr. Townsend stated that the Planning Department advised that this lot is zoned "R -1B"
Single-family Dwelling District which will require that the applicanrmake an application to the
Board of Adjustment for a Special Use Exception under Article 29, Subsection 29-3.11 of the
Zoning Ordinance, but that the area is in transition, and recommended approval provided the
applicant does obtain approval from the Board of Adjustment. He explained that the Public Works
Department had pointed out that the shift as proposed is not exactly as shown on the plan prepared
by the architect; that it would be impossible for traffic to get through the alley because of heavy
landscaping at one end and that traffic would be forced to back out of the alley off Palmero at

the other end. He pointed ovt.future maintenance responsibilities and construction standard involve-
ments, that existing utility easements would in any event, have to be retained, assurance that
utility services will be maintained for existing businesses in the area, and that the interest of the
public be protected.
Mr. Joseph Hans spoke on behalf of the request and pointed out on the map the location
of the areas involved, and the bank's proposal for substitution of vehicular alley 100' east of the
existing vehicular alley located between Clifford Street and the Bank Parking Lot; pointed out the
serious traffic problem presently existing relative to the drive-in windows, stating that traffic piles
up on Alameda and Clifford at peak hours; stated that on the Palmero side the existing structure is
in the process of being moved, and that the lot on Clifford has already been cleared; that they are
aware that they would be required to make application to the Board of Adjustment for a Special Use
Exception; that the utility services of the adjacent stores would be maintained; that the proposed
arrangement would be an improvement aesthetically as well as provide an improved traffic pattern
moving all traffic connected with the drive-in windows into the bank parking lot and off the public
streets, and also provide more safety conditions for pedestrian traffic.
Questions were raised by the Mayor and members of the Council as to what uses the
proposed arangement would provide that do not now exist.
Mr. Hans stated they want to separate the parking lot traffic from the drive-in window
traffic, and that to accomplish this, they would have to fence the existing easement from vehicular
traffic which cannot be legally done without violation of the dedicated easement.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request.
Motion by Bradley, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by McDaniel, seconded by Lozano and sassed, that the request of First State Bank
to close to vehicplar traffic that portion of an alley easement crossing Lots 15 and 16, Block 23,
Del Mar Addition, be granted, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating this action.
Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing relative to an amendment to the Platting
Ordinance in connection with one -lot plats.
City Manager Townsend explained that for the past several years, the City has platted
one -lot plats on paper, so as to permit minor repairs and modifications to existing uses. He
explained that during this time, this provision has grown in its use, and that the language of the
• •
Minutes

Page 4
ordinance was broad enough to result in many violations, and it is recommended that this
provision be terminated and substituted with an amendment to eliminate the preparation of
one -lot plats by the City except for lots of less than 1 acre in size with an existing structure
where the field notes will adequately close. Mr. Townsend stated it is hoped that this amend-
ment will limit the use of this provision to those structures where it is desired to add only
minor modifications, and that the Planning Commission has agreed to give this a trial and
report back in a few months.
No one in the audience appeared in favor or in opposition to the foregoing amendment
to the Platting Ordinance.
Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by de Ases, seconded by Sizemore and passed, that the recommendation of the
City Manager that the Platting Ordinance be amended to eliminate the preparation of one -lot
plots by the City except for lots of less than one acre in size with an existing structure where
the field notes will adequately close, be approved, and that an ordinance be brought forward
effectuating this action. (See Ordinance No. 9534)
Mayor Blackmon called for the City Manager's Reports.
Motion by Bradley, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the City Manager's Reports,
Items "a" through "i" be accepted, and that the requests and recommendations be granted
and approved as follows:
a. That Change Order #5 for Ocean Drive Unit 3, involving construction of a concrete
wall between the Park Site and the Tromm property, and a wall along the Dorn property, and

increase of $4,085.32, be approved; and that Change Order No. 4, involving connecting of
the seawall at the de Pena property to the City seawall, relocation of the de Pena fence,
construction of retaining wall along the common boundary of the Otto property and the City
property, and the installation of PVC pipe between the median for sprinkler service, at a net
increase of $5,444.65, be approved;

g. That the Compensation Plan be amended to allow credit for prior service to the
extent that such prior service is greater than the time between periods of City Service; (This
credit will apply only to salary increases after 10 and 20 years of service and the added
vacation resulting from 15 years of service; credit will be limited to periods of at least 6 months,
only include periods of service with up to two interruptions, and charge the period of interruption
on the basis of the next whole month)
h. That receipt of the statement of the City Manager of the City Staff's position
regarding the plot of J. E. McCord, Holly Industrial Subdivision, Lot 2, be acknowledged.
The statement is as follows:
"The City Staff has had considerable discussion on the matter of the plat of the Holly
Industrial Subdivision, Lot 2, and I deem it appropriate at this time to present the facts and
state the Staff's position. This property is a tract of land located on Ayers Street between
Holly Road and Padre Island Boulevard. This particular property was the subject of a Planning
Commission meeting on March 3, 1964, at which time Mr. J. E. McCord voiced opposition
to dedicating 10 feet of street right of way. The Commission approved the two -lot plat subject
to three conditions, one of which was compliance with the 10 -foot dedication requirement.
On March 4, 1964, a building permit was issued to Mr. McCord for construction of a warehouse

on approval of the City Manager. The file is incomplete, but I am confident that Mr. Whitney's
approval of the building permit was based on the assurance that the plat would be filed promptly.
On March 11, 1964, the Commission's action was appealed to the City Council, and taken
under advisement. This appeal is apparently still pending.
In October 1965, a plat was filed on the adjacent piece of property. The some 10 -foot
street dedication was required. Because the owners did not wish to make this dedication, they
withdrew the plat without attempting to build.
The same property that was attempted to be platted in 1964 hos been resubmitted as HoHy
Industrial Subdivision Lot 2. The Planning Commission determined that the dedication would be
required and then heard the appeal of Mr. Ben McDonald and determined that the plat should be
approved. The Unitarian Church Case was quoted as the basis for the appeal. It is the position
of the City Staff that, if in fact the Unitarian Church Case is involved, then there is a gap in
the City's ordinances. The Charter is clear - property must be platted. If the Unitarian Church
Case is applicable, then it is because of the lack of an adequate ordinance, and the burden then
falls on the Director of Public Works and the Planning Commission to see that land is properly
platted. I have instructed the Director of Public Works that he is not to sign a plat which does
not provide adequate right of way. If, in fact the ordinance passed two weeks ago is applicable,
then there is no doubt that the right of way must be dedicated.
The Director of Public Works is responsible for compliance with any adopted master plans.
The right of way for Ayers Street is specified in the master street plan which has been adopted
officially by the City Council after public hearing. He cannot sign a plat in violation of that
master plan. That being the case, he has been instructed not to sign a plat for this particular
piece of property. The plat cannot be filed for record without his signature. If there is any
desire for any other action, the Council should so indicate. I will be happy to discuss the facts
further and answer any questions."
i. That the award of bid of 2 - 30" Gate Valves for a total of $6,049.20, and 23 - 36"
Gate Valves for a total of $94,274.70, be made to M & H Valve & Fitting Company of Anniston,
Alabama, on the basis of low bid meeting specifications in the total amount of $100,323.90;

Mr. Ben F. McDonald, attorney representing J. E. McCord, owner of Lot 2, Holly
Industrial Subdivision, appeared in connection with the controversy over the City's requirement
that his client dedicate 10 feet of street right of way before plotting his property in the 5500
Block of Ayers Street. Mr. McDonald reviewed the background of the application for platting
of Mr. McCord's property, pointing out that the Planning Commission had approved a plat of
the property as a one -lot plat, waiving the requirement that the 10 feet be dedicated; and stated
that a Texas Supreme Court ruling in the case of the Unitarian Church vs. the City of Corpus
Christi, had held that the City's requirement for dedication of right of way of one -lot plats
was not covered by the platting ordinance. He alleged that the Council had been influenced
by the Staff to pass on an emergency, an amendment to the platting ordinance covering one -lot
plats while his client's plat was still under consideration, which in effect, resulted basically
in "a change in the rules in the middle of the game." He alleged that the platting ordinance
was amended without public hearing and without a proper notice, and that, if this ordinance
applied to the subject case, it would be retroactive in effect. He pointed out that a group of
reputable men on the Planning Commission had acted favorable to the application after having
been ill advised that the ordinance would have no effect on his client's application, and stated
that if the Director of Public Works is going to have the power to administer the zoning ordinance,
"we don't need a Planning Commission:" He further alleged that the ordinance was an attempt
to circumvent the authority of the Planning Commission; stated that his client's rights to improve
his property are valid; that he does not want to build new streets, only wants to build new buildings
which will improve the property and afford employment to some people. He stated that the action
which Mr. Townsend is asking for will put an unfair burden on Mr. McCord to go to court; that a
hardship exists in the McCord application because he has buildings located in the easements which
the City seeks to force him to dedicate, and that this should be grounds for variance with respect
to the utility easements.
City Manager Townsend stated that is is possible that there were some misunderstandings
between some members of the City Staff and the Planning Commission, but that this has since
been clarified; that the two -lot subdivision plat was still on appeal; explained that the burden
falls on the Director of Public Works to assure right of way dedication in compliance with

adopted master plans and the Charter; that he is not asking any action of the Council at this
time, but only acknowledgement of receipt of his statement as to the position of the Staff. He
further explained that waiving of the street dedication requirement in this case is in conflict
with the adopted street master plan, and that his position is that if the Master Plan is wrong
and the Council sees fit to change this plan, as it pertains to Ayers Street, then the Director
of Public Works would be compelled to sign the plat. He stated that the problem involving
the Utility easement is not being presented to the Council at this time.
Motion by McDaniel, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the date of November 19,
1969, during the Workshop Meeting, 10:00 a.m., be set for further discussion on the matter
of the J. E. McCord, Holly Industrial Subdivision Lot 2 Plat.
