Mr. Henry C. Gillespie, of Gillespie Buick Motor Company, and Mr. Jim G,inan, of
Lew Williams Chevrolet Company, representing the Wrecker Association of Corpus Christi, spoke
relative to Item "k-3" of the foregoing City Manager's recommendations, and requested that an
additional $5.00 should be allowed for wrecker service when special equipment is required such
as wenches and dollies. Mr. Gillespie stated that the wrecker permit holders, because of
overtime wages, investment in expensive special equipment, insurance, maintenance and
depreciation costs, are unable to operate on a profitable basis which they feel they are entitled.
He pointed out that the drivers are paid one-half of all that is collected.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Bradley and passed, that Item "k" of the foregoing
recommendations relative to wrecker service, be deleted for further consideration, that the
remaining Items "a" through "p" be accepted, and that the requests and recommendations be
granted and approved as presented.

Mr. Roger Batemen, 1015 Luxor, appeared and requested that he be allowed to make
some comments relative to the ordinance appearing on the agenda granting "A -1" Apartment
House District zoning on a 24.212 -acre tract of land out of Lots2 through 5, Section 29, Flour
Bluff and Encina) Farm and Garden Tracts, as applied for by Pharaoh Enterarises, Ltd.
Mayor Blackmon explained that the public hearing had been held March 2, 1970, that
it had been properly advertised, property owners within the required 200 foot area had been
notified, and that the hearing had been closed by official action of the Council and could not
be legally re -opened. He agreed to permit Mr. Bateman to make his comments on whether or
not he felt the ordinance should be passed.
Mr. Bateman stated that he lived near, but not within the notification area, that he
had spent considerable time preparing a statement which he had intended to present at the time
of the hearing, in opposition to the request, but that he had not been aware of the time of the
hearing. He stated he was opposed to the granting of the ordinance for the following reasons:
that apartments should not be built just to encourage a population increase; that further apartment
construction in this area would result in one of the largest high density areas in the City which
would eventually become a "ghetto type" area; that schools and streets would be overcrowded
and congested; that McArdle Road is too narrow to adequately handle the increase in traffic;
that this will be the sixth time Pharaoh Enterprises, Ltd. had altered their plans since the
original development concept was submitted; that Corpus Christi is substantially over -built
with apartments, and that many of them are vacant; that there have been mis-representations
made by the builder; that an injustice is being created by using valuable land for this purpose;
that he has personally heard members of the Planning Commission express the feeling that Corpus
Christi has an over development of apartment building; and that the Council is in the process of
developing some kind of density standards for apartments and that this ordinance should be deferred
until these standards have been established.
Commissioner de Ases commented there may be some question as to whether or not the
notices which are published relative to zoning hearings are complete.
A copy of the notice as it appeared in the newspaper was read, and Mayor Blackmon stated
the notice would have to be challenged in court.
