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.

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. • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 4, 1970 Page 7 SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE BUILDING CODE, ORDINANCE NO. 7797, AS AMENDED, BY DELETING CHAPTER ill OF THE SOUTHERN STANDARD BUILDING CODE, 1965, PERTAINING TO FIRE DISTRICTS, THEREBY ABOLISHING FIRE DISTRICTS; AMENDING CHAPTER XXIX OF THE BUILDING CODE, AS AMENDED BY ORDINANCE NO. 8645, BE DELETING SECTION 2 OF ORDINANCE NO. 8645, OTHER- WISE DESIGNATED AS CHAPTER XXIX OF THE BUILDING CODE, AND ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER XXIX OF THE BUILDING CODE; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
