Mayor Blackmon recognized and presented Certificates of Attendance to visiting members
of the Student Council of Tom Browne Junior High School as follows: Tommy Yarbrough, Mike
Thompson and Mork Kirkland. The students were accompanied by their sponsor, Mrs. Clark.
Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing for the closing of the stub end of Hudson
Street, between Block 1 and Block 9, Midway Addition; the stub end of Rosalie Boulevard, lying
between Block 9, Midway Addition, and Block 6, Prescott Park, Unit 01; and the stub end of
Garden Drive, lying between Block 7, Inwood Village, Unit #1, and Block 8, Inwood Village,
Unit #2.
City Manager Townsend presented the proposal and explained that the request had been
initiated by the Staff following numerous discussions over the past four or five years with individuals
who own property adjacent to these stub ends; that the dead ends were created when the streets
were severed as a result of construction of the Crosstown Expressway; are no longer needed for
street purposes, and are equal in size to an average lot. He stated the request had been circularized
to the affected City Departments in the usual manner; that reports had been received of existence
of a gas and sewer line running across all of the lots at the rear; a two-inch water main in Rosalie
between Vestal and the Expressway; and that it was the recommendation of all the Staff that the
stub ends be closed with the retention of the necessary utility easements. Mr. Townsend explained
that one half of the closed street portions would revert to each of the adjacent property owners,
and that it is proposed that they work cooperatively as to the construction and location of all
curbs and driveways, but that it would be stipulated that the closed area not have any appearance
of a public street.
Mr. Joe Alsup, attorney, Six Hundred Building, appeared representing Mr. George Wilburn,
4302 Vestal, and stated his client is opposed to the closing; that he is aware that the property will
become his but that his rejoinder was that he would merely be afforded the privilege of paying
City taxes; that his house faces on Vestal and his garage opens onto Rosalie, and if the street is
closed he will have to change his garage to open on Vestal which will cost him approximately
$1800. Mr. Alsup stated he also had received a letter from the owner of the property located
directly across the street which is vacant, and that the owner is opposed to the closing. He
inquired as to whether or not the closed streets would be barricaded or just officially closed on

paper for the record. He stated he would be willing to confer with the proper City officials as
to the disposition of the property and was concerned that it not become a trash collector area;
that he understands that it is of no use to the City as a public right of way, but if closed could
cause substantial damage to the abutting property owner without access to his property.
Mr. R. C. Hinojosa, stated there is a drainage ditch at the corner of Hudson and Vestal
and inquired if the ditch would be maintained by the City.
Mrs. Josefina Rubalcaba, 2113 Hudson, stated they would have to re -arrange their
garage and driveway, but since it is not paved, this would not be a disadvantage to them.
Commissioner Roberts stated it would appear that the rights of way were created for sub-
divisions where public portions are part of dedication of developers and would be a portion of the
entire subdivision,
City Manager Townsend stated they are legally attached to the abutting lots. He explained
that there would be no need for complicated barricades; that the basic reason for the hearing is
to place the Staff is a position to legally resolve the problems arising from the closing, and that
the only stipulation would be that the owners be committed to change the nature of the area so as
to be perfectly clear that they are no longer public rights of way. He stated that the drainage
ditches would remain and be maintained if they flow toward the Expressway, but not if they are
totally within the lots; that it is his recommendation that the matter be tabled and that a knowledge-
able staff member be directed to confer with the property owners in an effort to work out satisfactory
agreements as to placement of curbs and driveways.
Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by de Ases, seconded by Roberts and passed, that the foregoing request to close
portions of Hudson, Rosalie Drive and Garden Street, be tabled for further consideration.
Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing on the closing of the alley located between
Booty Street and Elizabeth, separating Lots 1 thru 11, and Lots 12 thru 22, Block 4, Booty and
Allen Addition.
City Manager Townsend explained that this request had come from the Knolle Jersey Milk
Products Company and Roy Conyers. He explained that Mr. Conyers owns Lots 21 and 22 and Knolle
owns Lots 1 thru 20, and that the request is based on the need for security during the non -business

hours to reduce incidences and temptations of theft, accident and related sorts of misconduct.
Mr. Townsend stated the affected City Departments had been contacted, and that the Planning
Department had pointed out that this property had been involved with several zoning applications
one of which involved a fence, and that "B-5" zoning was approved subject to the continuance
of a solid concrete fence similar to the existing fence along the perimeter of the subject property
adjacent to Alameda and Elizabeth, and that this was not accomplished, but stated it does not
directly affect the subject closing. Mr. Townsend explained that the existing gas easement must
be retained if the alley is to be closed.
Mrs. W. T. Hunt, 3209 Casa de Palmas, appeared and stated they own four lots on the
west side of the subject property and that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ernest Hunt, owns two lots,
and that they are vitally interested in the proposed alley closing. She stated her property is
within the 450 -foot notification area but that she did not receive a notice and only by chance
learned that the hearing was to be held. She further stated that she knew of several other property
owners west of the subject property who did not receive a notice. Mrs. Hunt stated she had no
objection to the alley being closed, but felt the owners should be required to construct the
fence stipulated in a change of zoning, and that she would object to a driveway opening on the
west side immediately in front of her property.
Mr. Townsend explained that the Staff is dependent on the applicant providing a list of
property owners within the 450 -foot notification radius, and that on examination of the list which
was provided, determined that none of the property owners in the Hughs Addition were on the list
and did not receive proper notice as required by law, and suggested that the hearing be recessed.
On adviceofCity Attorney Singer, it was agreed that the notice of the hearing need not
be re -advertised, but that a complete list be obtained, and that a date be set for the recessed
hearing.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Sizemore and passed, that the hearing be recessed and
re -opened on January 28, 1970, following proper notice to all property owners.
Mayor Blackmon called for the City Manager's Reports.

budgeted 20 cubic yard, rear loading packer bodies without auxiliary engines, be granted;
h. That the authority to advertise for bids on February 10, for 127 motor vehicles
and 20 vehicles for Nueces County, one for Port Aransas, and one for Rockport, be granted,
including 37, 8 -cylinder automatic transmission vehicles with air conditioning of which 29
are for police use, and since the police package receives a special factory discount, all 37
are recommended to be included in the police package. The packer trucks are proposed for

date of an election in January and that there has been some undue delay. He directed that

after February 14 Bond Election, so that the pool can be in use by May 1.

Mr. Tommy McDonald, Vice-president of Plumbers & Steamfitters Local #185, appeared
and voiced what he termed a "final protest" against the use of plastic pipe for underslab
residential installations. He stated he was only a disabled plumber and was only trying to
protect the health and welfare of the citizens of the community; that he realized that the
Council had to appoint boards and to rely on their decisions, but stated he believes they
appointed a one-sided board. He stated he was not able to come to City Hall and pick up
the copy of the ordinance which had been made available to him, on Monday of this week,
but stated that he has a copy in his possession at this time. He stated that the ordinance is
contradictory and confusing, and that he could"get anything past it with the present wording."
He further raised the question as to why the ordinance permits plastic pipe under residential
slabs but not under trailer slabs.
Mayor Blackmon pointed out that the third reading of the proposed ordinance had been
deferred last week and that a re -typed copy had been made available to Mr. McDonald on
Monday of this week so that he would have until today to get to the Council and Staff his
objections and suggestions in writing, and that he had failed to pick up the ordinance and
comply with this request.
Mr. Dwight Duke, 818 Adel, owner of Duke Plumbing Company, spoke in opposition
to the use of plastic pipe underground, stating he feels it would be detrimental to the general
public, and that plumbers would probably continue to use cast iron and copper pipe. He pointed
out that homeowners never forget who did the plumbing in their houses, and that regardless of
who assumes the responsibility, the plumbing companies are called and held responsible.
Mr. John Crutchfield, representing Gateway Mobile Homes, questioned a provision in
the proposed ordinance which continues the requirement of outside vent stacks for every 10
mobile homes. He stated these stacks are very unsightly, had been installed in the Gateway
Mobile Homes, and stated he would like to see this particular requirement in the ordinance
removed.
Mr. Sam Allen, realtor, questioned the use of plastic pipe and stated that he feels it
may be comparable to the Orangeburg pipe which was introduced in 1940 which proved to be
totally unsatisfactory. He suggested that the passage of the ordinance be deferred for more study.
