He explained that the amend- ment will increase the volume but will substantially reduce the level of the material added to the waste flow; that the application For amendment is up-to-date and up -grade all waste discharges; that in the original order, there were four different outlets into the Ship Channel, and the amended permit has reduced this amount to two outlets. He stated the increase of average flow is f:om 300,000 gallons parlay to 600,000 gallons per day on the industrial waste discharge; the ballast waste discharge of 600,000 gallons per day stays the same. Mr. Ab Cock, Public Health Engineer, explained the reduction from four outlets to twc, stating that this company is one of a number of ship channel industries that were required to obtain new waste control orders which were issued prior to the formation of the Texas Water Quality Board. He described the temperature and chemical composition of the oribinal discharges as compared to those contained in the new application and present discharges. He stated the new waste control permit&would improve the discharges, and that they are well below the criteria set by the Texas Water Quality Board. He stated that suspended solids have been decreased over the past two years, and that there are no floating oils. Mr. Cock stated he s:es no reason where this application would have any adverse effect on the receiving waters, and would recommend the adoption of the application. Mr. George W. Stephenson, Vice President of Manufacturing of Southwestern, spoke on behalf of the request and pointed out on a map plant modifications proposed to bring the discharge into compliance with the Texas Water Quality Board standards, and traced the discharges from the industry through the settling ponds into the Channel. He described the installation of an aerated pond into which the waste will be discharged before entering the Channel, and stated the tempera- ture would average approximately 85 degrees Frain the ponds to the Channel . Mr. Hayden Head, attorney for Southwestern, reviewed the history of Company's discharge of wastes into the Ship Channel since 1937. He described its treating processes and monitoring of temperatures of the amended permit. He explained that this request is in compliance with the Texas Water Quality Board's "operation clean sweep" and that it is being carried out through- out the State. He pointed out that in any event, this permit would have to meet the requirements set by the Texas Water Quality Board. He stated that the hearing before the Board had been re -set for March 8 instead of February 22 as originally set. • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 2, 1972 Page 3 Mr. David Beasley, 4110 Barnes, inquired whether or not the Texas Water Quality Board's standards are higher or lower than those of the City. City Manager Townsend stated that the standards are basically consistent since the City's waste water has to be within the standards set by the State. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing application. Motion by Branch, seconded by Bosquez and passed, that the heating be closed. Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Branch, with Stark, Lozano, Bosquez and Sizemore voting "Nay"f that the Council defer its comments to the Texas Water Quality Board for one week to allow time for review of Mr. Ab Cock's report.

This type of permit was removed from the ordinance when the "T-1" zoning was established.) (The need to resolve the 5,000 square foot minimum lott size in "T-1" versus 6,000 square foot platting ordinance minimum also is indicated) City Manager Townsend presented the pending matter of Zoning Application #771-4 for change of zoning from "R -1B" to a Special Council Permit, for a Community Unit Plan Development on Bear Lane between Flato Road and Padre Island Drive. He explained that the Planning Commission's approval was contingent on no more than 154 units and adequate resolving of the drainage problem; that the Council held a public hearing on August 9, 1971, after which the request was tabled for further consideration. He stated that a revised site plan had been submitted containing 154 units and was approved by the Commission on January 11, 1972. • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 2, 1972 Page 5 Motion by Lozano, seconded by Bonniwell and passed, that the foregoing pending matter be further tabled to allow the Council time to review the site plan approved by the Commission January 11, and that the time for final Council action be extended for a time not to exceed March 1, 1972, so as to be within the time limit requirement as set out in Article 30, Section 30-6, of the Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Sizemore announced the public hearing on assessments for sidewalk improve- ments in the Coliseum area. City Manager Townsend explained the sidewalk improvement project and the procedure to be followed. He stated that the contract includes construction of sidewalks on portions of streets in the Coliseum area, generally getween Furman, Laguna, East Shoreline and Water Streets, and also expansion of the Parking Lot on the west side of the City Hall which portion is not being assessed. He explained that these sidewalks are proposed for the safety of pedestrian traffic to and from the Coliseum, and to improve access to the City Hall. He stated that these sidewalks have been needed for many years, and that Assistant City Attorney Bobby Terry would conduct the hearing. Mr. Terry stated the purpose of this hearing is to comply with the statutes regarding paving assessments; that testimony will be heard from the Director of Engineering Services and evaluation testimony from a real estate appraiser to substantiate the assessments which appear on the assessment roll; and that this hearing is to form a basis on which the Council, acting as a legislative body, would determine or establish the assessments on the abutting properties. Director of Engineering Services James K. Lontos was interrogated as to his occupation,. time of residence in. the City; formal qualifications and familiarity with the subject project. He presented the plans for the proposed improvements; explained the nature, extent and specifications; stated that the project includes six segments of sidewalks on East Shoreline, West Shoreline, Cooper Street, Kinney Street, Born Street and Broadway Court; that the sidewalks will be six feet in width with the exception of a portion abutting the Goad Motor Company which will be 14 feet wide to blend with the paved area existing on that portion, and that the plans include construction of header curb along the parking area at the Goad • Minutes Regular Ci3uncil Meeting February 2, 1972 Page 6 Motor Company, for the purpose of stopping cars from encroaching onto the sidewalk. Mr. Lontos stated the total contract price shown on the preliminary assessment roll is $33,686.25; total assessments $12,348.29, and total City cost $21,337.96; that the assessment rates have been determined in accordance with the present policy of the City by applying the unit prices obtained by the low bid to the calculated quantities for the improvements. Mr. Lontos stated that it is recommended that the header curb on the north side of the Goad Motor Company property be eliminated and the contract price be adj. sted accordingly to reflect a reduction of $608.73 on this item. Mr. Tom Goad, owner of Goad Motor Company (Items 010 and #11), appeared and stated they had requested the elimination of the header curb at that particJar point for the reason it may not fit into their plans for future rearrangement of the property lines; that they are agreeable to the header curb on the other side, but in lieu would prefer to have wheel stops or the proposed fence. Mr. Goad explained his reason for requesting the 14 -foot wide sidewalk in front of the property, stating it would be uniform with the existing sidewalk. He pointed out that they were being assessed for the additional width, and that he had agreed to this on the assumption that there will not be a bond issue for a possible convention, center in the ai1ea of the Coliseum which could alter the plan or void the expenditure. He suggested a delay of at least thirty days of this construction pending the Council's decision with regard to location of a convention center. City Manager Townsend pointed out that the convention center issue at this time is very indefinite and that it is the conclusion of the Staff that this project is basic and tley can depend on at least two year's use of the sidewalks. Mr. Harold Carr testified as to his identity as a real estate appraiser, time of residence in the City, occupation, and familiarity with the subject area and project. He described the general area, stating there were no irregular shaped lots which would affect the assessments; that he had personally examined each parcel of land and that each and every parcel will be enhanced in value at least to the extent of the assessment as a result of the sidewalk improvements. Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 2,1972 Page 7 Mr. Jeff Wakefield, owner of Lots 5, 6, 7, Block 3, Rayne Tract, ('item #5), stated that this property is located to the north of the Terrace Motel, is being used for free parking area for Coliseum activities; that if sidewalks are installed cars will have to crass over the sidewalk to reach the parking area, and the sidewalks_wiLl be broken and damaged by traffic. He stated that when he improves the property he will have to build sidewalks, but at the present time he does not see where the sidewalk leads. He stated he not only would be charged for the installation of the sidewalks but would also be responsible for the maintenance. City Manager Townsend pointed out that there are two motels in this area tha' will use the sidewalks, but that Mr. Wakefield has a valid point regarding the use of the parking area, and suggested that perhaps the City should bear the expense of a driveway to the parking area. Mr. Wakefield stated he did not object to the sidewalks but objected to the possibility of having to rebuild them because of the traffic over them. He stated that to constru;t a driveway to the parking area would be the same as posting a sign saying "free parking," and that he did not want to pe put in a position of charging for the parking. No one else appeared to be heard in connection with the proposed sidewalk assessments. Motion by Stark, seconded by Bosquez and passed, that the hearing be closed for further consideration and evaluation of the foregoing testimony.
