N. H. Morgan & G. F. Clark, be tabled until January 12, 1972, pending determination by the City Manager as to whether or not the Board of Adjustment should have the authority to extend parking into the residential area to the rear of the subject property. Mr. Sam F. Crecelius, 241 Bayridge, appeared and appealed to the Council for relief from an administrative decision relative to reduction in lot sizes on plats which were already in progress prior to the Council's rejection of the proposal to incorporate into the Zoning Ordinance an amendment which would establish a new "R -1C" District permitting 5,000 square foot lots. He reviewed the background of his plans to develop a 91 -unit subdivision known as Star Crest on Navigation Boulevard between Highway 44 and Bear Lane. He explained that in August of 1970, he had obtained Planning Commission approval of a plat, permitting 5,000 square: foot lots, and that this approval had expired under the terms of the existing ordinance. He explained that the Commission had been approving small lot sizes by waiving the 6,000 square foot lot requirement; stated that he has a contract with a person who wants to construct the 91 units in this subdivision and that the sale of the property is totally dependent on approval of the plats; that he has applied for reconsideration from the Zoning and Planning Commission for extension of their approval which had been refused because of the 6,000 square foot lot requirement. Mr. Crecelius stated that he had spent some $10,000 in engineering services, based on the 5,000 foot lot plat; that these plans had been delayed by Hurricane Celia and a financing problem with FHA which had delayed him being able to file the plat for record. He stated there were several other developers who had expensive developments in progress who would be affected and would like to proceed with development on the basis of their knowledge of the then existing requirement. He requested that the Council make exceptions in these cases and provide for a transitional period to cover plats which were in progress prior to specific dates. City Manager Townsend stated that there is no authority to issue permits for 5,000 square foot lots under the existing ordinance, and outlined three alternate procedures open to the Council: (1) refer the matter to the Planning Commission; (2) refer to Planning Commission for their initiation of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance; or (3) that the Council indicate • Minutes Regular Council Meeting December 15, 1971 Page 9 that they do not wish the Commission to request a change. He stated that if it is the Council's desire to hold a public hearing on a text amendment change, this could be arranged. Mayor Sizemore pointed out that the Council had decided against the 5,000 square foot lot size, and that unless they wished to retract this action it would be useless to go through the process of another public hearing. Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Gonzales and passed, that the Council schedule a joint public hearing with the Planning Commission for Tuesday, January 11, 1972, at 7:30 p.m., for consideration of a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance relative to lot size requirements for relief on plats which have final approval on or before December 28, 1971, and that all those subdividers affected by this amendment be notified of this meeting. Mayor Sizemore directed that the City Manager obtain all basic information possible of developments which fall into this category, and that the Planning Staff prepare a proposed text amendment for publication. Motion by Branch, seconded by Bonniwell and passed, that the resignation of W. J. Roberts from the Coastal Bend Council of Governments (Regional Planning Commission) be accepted with regrets and that a resolution expressing appreciation for his services on this Council, be approved. Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Bosquez and passed, that Mayor Sizemore's appointment of Commissioner Gonzales to serve as a non -elected representative of the City on the Coastal Bend Council of Governments, be confirmed and approved. Mr. Dietrich Claus, Sheridan Street, appeared and inquired as to the disposition of a previousrequest for legislation placing a tax on the use of non -returnable cans and bottles, and also the request for use of bilingual voting machines in this County. City Attorney Riggs stated that the City does not have the authority to levy a tax such as was requested by Mr. Claus; that it would hove to be drawn to cover products in Interstate Commerce; would be outside the City's jurisdiction; and that only the State could authorize this tax. Mayor Sizemore advised Mr. Claus that the Council had not had an opportunity to discuss the request that bilingual voting machines be used in elections in Nueces County, and that the matter would be discussed next week. • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting December 15, 1971 Page 10 Mr. W. H. Stahl, 4901 Kostoryz, was escorted from the Council Chamber following a verbal assault directed at the Mayor and individual Council members of alleged discriminations in connection with previous complaints and zoning matters. Dr, Jack McKemie, 527 Gordon, appeared and inquired as to the status of R previous request of the Yacht Club, and recommended by the Marina Board, that a dry boat storage facility be constructed on the L -Head. He stated that there had been opposition to this proposal because it was felt the facility would be controlled by. the Yacht Club. He stated that this was not true, and assured the Council that the space would be available for lease to anyone, that it would be a tourist attraction and more revenue to the City. City Manager Townsend stated that the matter had been discussed at this morning's workshop meeting, and that it had been the consensus of the Council and agreed that Commissioners Stark and Branch be appointed as a sub -committee to meet with the Marina Board to determine if the Board still recommends the project. He stated that the proposal was criticized by power boat owners who objected to parking spaces the boat storage area would replace, He stated that plans have been drawn and are ready to go out for bids. In rejecting the request that a police review board be established, Mayor Pro Tem Bonniwell reiterated the statement of Mayor Sizemore made at last week's meeting that this seven -man Council is a review board, that complaints such as alleged police brutality should go through the ihain of command" and if not satisfied he may then bring the complaint to the Council, Mayor Sizemore urged that citizens follow this type of procedure, re-emphasized that his office is always open and that complaints may be brought to him privately if necessary. Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Bosquez and passed, that the recommendation of the City Manager be concurred in and that he be authorized to advise the Chamber of Commerce that a water line would be extended to the Texas A&M Research Facility to be located near Clarkwood conditioned upon there being no additional connections unless the areas to be served agree to annexation to the City. The estimated cost of the line is $20,000 and will be included in next year's budget. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was duly adjourned at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, December 15, 1971,
