Mayor Sizemore called for''the City Manager's Reports.
City Manager Townsend reported that a Writ of Garnishment had been
filed in 105th District Court, addressed to City Attorney Riggs, in connection
with the recommendation appearing on the agenda that final payment in the amount
of $13,221.10 be made to the Registry of the Court on behalf of Manson Industries
and the City for Celia Repairs to the Corpus Christi International Airport. Mr.
Townsend stated that in view of this law suit it is his recommendation that
Item "p" be withdrawn from the agenda.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Bonniwell and passed, that the City Manager's
Reports, Items "a" through "q" (item "p" deleted), be accepted, and that the
requests and recommendations be granted and approved as follows:
a. That the Cities Service Oil Company's application to drill in State
Tract 96, Corpus Christi Bay, from a regular cluster location at the east corner
of Tract 81, be approved, the well to be drilled directionally with the bottom of
the hole a depth of approximately 10,200 feet in Tract 96, approximately 2,000 feet
west southwest of the drill site at a location approximately 2-1/3 miles from the
shore at the Naval Air Station;
b. That parking be prohibited on the North side of Westbound I.H. 37
Frontage Road between McBride Lane and Lantana Street to allow State Highway
Department to paint a 4 -foot center median. This section of Frontage Road will
remain Two-way, since there is a need to provide between separation of traffic
lanes. The request was submitted by the State, and the Traffic Safety Advisory
Board concurs;
c. That a speed limit of 35 mph be established on Navigation Boule-
vard between UpRiver Road and Leopard Street which is now 30 mph. The street
has been widened so that 35 mph is now a safe speed, and the Traffic Safety
Advisory Board concurs with this recommendation;
d. That the speed limit on Leopard Street between Rehfield Road and
UpRiver Road be lowered from 45 mph to 30 mph; after I.H. 37 was built, Leopard
Street was moved southward and several restricted sight conditions developed
making driving speeds in excess of 30 mph unsafe; the street has been temporarily
signed at 30 mph, and the Traffic Safety Advisory Board concurs with this recom-
mendation.

Mayor Sizemore announced the public hearing on the application of Mr. C.A.
Mansheim (represented by Mr. Tim Clower), for the closing of portions of Dickinson
Street and Bushick Place, Beach Hotel Addition.
City Manager Townsend presented the request and pointed out the location
of the streets involved, stating that the request involved the streets along five
lots on Bushick and four lots on both sides of Dickinson; that the applicant has
acquired approximately one-half of the lots in the four -block area, but that there
are 15 owners involved. He explained that in accordance with the usual procedure
an analysis had been made by the affected City Departments, and it was generally
recommended that the streets be closed providing easements are retained or relocated
at the owners cost, for sewer, water and gas lines or provide for termination of
services, and that right-of-way be dedicated for a cul-de-sac for turn -around as
required by the Platting Ordinance. Mr. Townsend explained that the closing of
the streets would be consistent with the Master Plan for Corpus Christi Beach
which has had the endorsement of previous Councils, not in detail but for the general
concept. He stated that the concept of the Master Plan is that the Beach can best be
developed if less of the total area is in streets and more of the area in larger
tracts which will be more condusive to development. He stated it is contemplated
that it be arranged so that properties can have access to the water and at the same; time,
properties be brought together for proper development. He further explained that
the concept is for park areas to be made available for use of the public, and that
pedestrian access to the water be in some way retained. He stated it is the
recommendation of the Staff that the request to close the streets be approved in
principle but tabled so far as details so that individual problems can be worked
out relative to the following: (1) need for cul-de-sacs or other provision for
turning traffic around; (2) need for utility easements or relocations at owners'
cost; and (3) need for pedestrian access to the water from the balance of the lots

in the 4 -block area (the need for vehicle access is not needed).
Mr. Tim Clower, realtor representing the applicant, stated that Mr. Town-
send's presentation had mostly covered what he had to state in favor of the
closing. He pointed out that Corpus Christi Beach had gone through a period of
various adjustments, and that there is a need to develop this area so that these
properties fronting along Shoreline can be developed as a tourist attraction and
recreational area, and that the closing of the streets are in keeping with the
Master Plan which was adopted by the City Council in 1966. He stated that at the
present time there is only one building other than those owned by Mr. Mansheim in
this area, and that condemnation proceedings havee been announced for properties to
the east. He stated that the proposed development and other developments, which
he presented on a sketch, will generate some $50,0GG in annual revenues to the
City through taxation, and that two or three similar projects of this size would
help to amortize the City's portion of the beach development projected in the
Master Plan. He stated it would be difficult to attract developers for large pro-
jects such as condominiums without adequate frontage,,
Mr. Ben McDonald, attorney representing a group of Corpus Christi Beach
property owners, spoke in opposition to the proposed closing of Dickinson and
Bushick Streets, stating that his clients do not oppose the Master Plan which was
adopted in 1966 for development of the Beach, but that they had contemplated a
bond program wherein all property owners would be compensated. He stated the
proposal to close the streets would in effect block off access to the Beach for
those people who have properties on the streets and property at large. He stated
that a bond issue for development of the Beach would be one thing but the partial
taking of certain properties would be taking public property for private purposes
which would be of no benefit to the public and would be a miscarriage of justice
to do so. He presented a petition containing signatures of 88 residents of the
Corpus Christi Beach area, and the public at large, in opposition to the closures
which he filed for record with the City Secretary. He also read into the record
an Affidavit signed by Mr. Chester Cunningham, owner of Lots 148, 149 and 150, on
which he operates the High Point Courts consisting of ten rental units. The
statement read that he had purchased this property in 1954, at w; .ich time Dickin-
son Street was, and still is, paved and open to the public and actively used by

the public for vehicular and pedestrian traffic; that his purchase was specifically
by reference to the recorded subdivision and determination that the street was open
and would remain open and be used for himself and his guests as a direct accessway
to the water's edge, and that he would not have purchased the property under any
other conditions. He stated he had invested his life savings in this property.
Mr. McDonald stated that he also represented Mr. Lee Tingle, owner of property
on Bushick, and that his access to the water would also be blocked off as a result
of the closings and would suffer considerable damage.
Mr. McDonald read and presented a Brief in the form of a Memorandum setting
out reasons for the opposition of his clients to the proposed closings; and cited
authorities in support of the statement that the Council should not and, in law,
probably could not legally close the public thoroughfare which is now being used
by the public where the purpose of the closing is for private purposes. He stated
that in 1966 the Council adopted a resolution that would support tentative plans to
be approved by the voters to close certain streets, and that Dickinson and Bushick
were part of that preliminary plan; that others have, studied the beach development;
and that a bond issue would be part of an overall development and not a single -shot
proposal.
City Manager Townsend stated that the Master Plan contemplated that that
was the desired goal, and that the Staff has recognized that every block must be
worked out individually to accomplish that goal; that it was hoped that Urban Renewal
would be involved, but that it has always been contemplated that these properties
would be privately developed along the beach, and in order to have the large lots
necessary they would have to be put together into large. areas.
Mayor Pro Tem Bonniwell asked Mr. McDonald if his clients would still be
opposed to the proposed closings if the pedestrian access were provided.
Mr. McDonald stated that his clients were not arbitrary, and want to see
the area productive, but they have their life savings in their properties and would
be badly damaged.
City Manager Townsend noted that the road along Hotel Place is 20 feet
narrower than Dickinson Place and would recommend that additional right of way on
North Hotel Place be dedicated to offset the 20 -foot loss on Dickinson.

Mrs. C. T. Huffman, 402 Old Robstown Road, spoke in opposition stating she
owned property on Bushick Street, and felt the applicant had no more right to the
property than the other property owners; that she had plans to build a beach home
on the property and that it would be devalued if the accessway were cut off.
Mrs. Pat Duaine, 621 Atlantic, spoke on behalf of a number of persons whom
she did not name, but stated they felt to close the streets would be putting private
interests over public interests. She also stated that if the beach is developed it
would need all the streets which now exist to take care of the increased traffic,
and that surrounding counties are concerned that the beaches be kept accessible to
the public.
Mrs. Fred Miller, Route 1, Robstown,Texas, protested the closing, stating
that until it is a certainty that a bond issue will be voted to implement the
Master Plan, the streets on Corpus Christi Beach should be kept open and accessway
to the water's edge be maintained. She critized the Council for the requirement
that construction should be elevated to certain heights, stating it would make
walking to the beach most difficult. She stated therE were no parks or recrea-
tional equipment on the beach except the Kiwanis Park, and was of the opinion that
this was not public.
City Manager Townsend explained that the name of Kiwanis Park was mislead-
ing, but that the City has a very substantial investment in the park and that it
is for public use. He stated that possibly the name should be changed.
Mr. Clower, in rebuttal stated he did not feel property values would be
devalued as a result of the street closings but would be increased as a result of
the proposed development which would benefit the entire community and increase
tourism in the City. He pointed out that it has always been a precedent in the
past that property revert to the abutting, property owners when streets are aban-
and that in this case the applicant owns property on both sides of the street,
doned,/and that so far as access to Mr. Cunningham's High Point Courts, there are
other means of access to the Beach.
Others present and indicating their opposition by giving their names and
addresses were: Mrs. N. E. Sullivan, 3714 Liberty; Mrs. Vera Cunningham, 3612
Surfside; Theresa Frain, 412 Dickinson Place; Lee Fair, 762 Meadowbrook; Richard
Tackett, 5511 Lexington, Chester H. Cunningham, 3612 Surfside; and resident at

City Manager Townsend presented the request of Mrs. Faires P. Wade for the
closing of that portion of Railroad Avenue adjacent to Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8,
Block 5, Patrick Webb Addition. He stated the Council was familiar with the loca-
tion of this property since it is only a continuation of a previous hearing held a
few weeks ago on portions of Railroad Avenue, and that this portion was left out.
He stated the street in question has not been open to vehicular traffic and no
utility lines, and it is his recommendation, and that of the affected City Depart-
ments, that the street be closed as requested.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request.
Motion by Branch, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the portion of Rail-
road Avenue lying immediately north and adjoining Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8,

located on the west side of Everhart Road between Bonner Drive and Curtis Clark
Drive, east of Stonegate Way, be approved, and that an ordinance be brought for-
ward effectuating the change.
Mayor Sizemore announced the public hearing on the request of Murray Bass,
Jr., to close a portion of Oliver Court, in the Suburban Homesites Addition, and a
portion of Antelope Street in the Driscoll Village Subdivision.
City Manager Townsend presented the request, pointed out the location of the
two streets on the map, and suggested that the Council consider the closing of
Oliver Court first. He stated that varied recommendations had been received from
affected Departments relative to Oliver Court; that sewer lines have to be relocated,
and gas lines protected by easements; that the Engineering Services Department and
Planning Department recommended against the closure because of easements needed,
access problems, and no determination made as to who would pay costs of closing
the intersection; that the property is so platted that a lot would become land-
locked if closure takes place. Mr. Townsend stated that if these problems could
be worked out he would have no objection to the closing, but that he has no know-
ledge that the problems are being worked out. Hee stated letters had been received
protesting the closure from Nueces Lodge #96, and D. W. Grant et al, on the basis
that the street is used for access to their dwellings, Mr. Townsend stated there
was opposition from owners on both sides of the street and across the street.
Mayor Sizemore and City Manager Townsend departed the meeting at this time,
and Mayor Pro Tem Bonniwell assumed the Chair.
Mr. Murray Bass, Jr., applicant and representing the owners, spoke in
support of the request, stating that a preliminary plat had been submitted on an
8 -acre tract on which they plan to develop as a shopping center. He stated the
Planning Commission indicated they could not approve the plat as submitted and they
were advised that they should make application for Antelope Street and Oliver Court
to be closed. He pointed out that the Post Office is located to the north of the
tract, and that Oliver Court could not be continued on through the Post Office
property. He stated when they made the application they were not aware that the
closing would cut off access to the abutting property owners; that he was aware
that the Staff would recommend that a cul-de-sac be provided for access; that they
•
Minutes

would prefer not to have the cul-de-sacbut if the Commission requires it on the
plat, they would act on their instructions. He stated they are agreeable to the
Staff's recommendation for Antelope Street, that curb and gutter be installed across
the front of the property on Azalea Drive, and removal of all semblance of a street
at the expense of the owners.
Mr. David Cook, attorney for D. W. Grant Properties, Betty Grant Armstrong,
and Iris Powell Grant, owners of property abutting Oliver Street, stated his clients
have no objections to the proposed closing of Oliver Street if access is left open
by the cul-de-sac.
No one appeared in opposition to the closing of Antelope Street.
Motion by Branch, seconded by Bosquez and passed, that the hearings be
closed.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Branch and passed, that the request to close
that portion of Antelope Street lying between the east right-of-way of Azalea Drive
and the east line of Driscoll Village Subdivision, be granted with the provision
that utility easements be retained, removal of all semblance of d street, and
construction of curb and gutter across the front of the property on Azalea Drive
at the developer's expense, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuat-
ing the closing; and that the request to close that portion of Oliver Court, lying
between Lots 1, 2, 16 and 17, Suburban Homesites, be denied.
