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 Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 5, 1972 Page 6 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 1 Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 5, 1972 , Page 7 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. r Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 5, 1972 Page 8 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 226 Bushick Place, 11111 Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 5, 1972 Page 9 Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Branch and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Stark, seconded by Branch and passed, that the foregoing matter be tabled to be considered at the April 26th Workshop meeting. 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, all in Block 5, Patrick Webb Addition, be closed as requested, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the closing. City Manager Townsend presented the pending item relative to Text Amend- ments to the Zoning Ordinance on which a public hearing was held March 1, 1972, as follows: (1) Amend Article 4AFR "F -R" Farm -Rural District Regulations, Section 4AFR-2 Use Regulations by deleting Item (1)) which allows for the placement of billboards advertising off -premises products within this district, and re -numbering Item (14) to Item (13); Amend Article 17 "B-5" Primary Business District Regulations, Section 17-2 Use Regulations, by amending the first sentence of Item (8) which allows for the placement of billboards adver- tising off -premises products within this district, to hereafter read as follows: "Outdoor advertising structures pertaining to the use conducted within the building." Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Gonzales and passed, that the foregoing proposed amendments to the Text of the Zoning Ordinance be denied. City Manager Townsend presented the pending item of Application #272-7, Cadwallader Development Corporation, for change of zoning on all of Block 1, Stone - gate North, Unit #1, on which a public hearing was held March 27; 1972, Motion by Branch, seconded by Gonzales and passed, with Bonniwell dis- qualifying himself, that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be con- curred in and that Application #272-7, Cadwallader Development Corporation, for Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 5, 1972 Page 10 • change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "A-1" Apartment House District, on all of Block 1, Stonegate North, Unit #1, an area of 7 acres 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 Regular Council Meeting April 5, 1972 Page 11 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.
