foregoing recommendation for acquisition of right-of-way for the Horne Road Street
Improvement Project. He stated he owns property adjacent to this project and was inter-
ested in the plans for Rambler Drive. He pointed out that this area was included in a
sidewalk program last year and inquired if these sidewalks would be torn out and another
assessment made.
City Manager Townsend explained that where the street narrows down back to
Rambler, a 20' strip will be taken off those lots for parking. He stated that most of the
existing sidewalk will remain, but that some will have to be torn out at intersections, but
that the property owners will not be reassessed for sidewalk which has been installed in
the past ten years.
City Manager Townsend presented the pending item of Application 0972-3,
Roosevelt Martinez, for change of zoning from "R -1B" to "AB" located on the southeast

City Manager Townsend stated that he wished to make some additional observa-
tions about the annexation hearing called for Wednesday, November 8, pertaining to the
annexation of certain land areas. He stated that several questions have been raised which
indicate that additional study is needed. He stated that there has been considerable Staff
discussion but very little opportunity for public discussion. He explained that passage by
the Council of the OCL Water Policy ordinance, which will require that new water cus-
tomers within 300' of the City Limits must agree to annexation by contract and all develop-
ments within a mile of a water system and the City's 5 -mile extraterritorial area must be
built to City water Distribution system standards, will quite effectively control develop-
ments in these areas so that the problems should not increase. He stated he had asked for
additional sutdy and is recommending that the next election contain only Area E, which
is in and adjacent to Corpus Christi Bay and Laguna Madre, and that Areas A, B, C and
D, which are areas to the south, west and north boundary of the City, be deleted from
the discussions at the November 8 hearing, and that the public be made aware that these
areas will not be included so that the hearing can be confined to Area E.
Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the foregoing
recommendation of the City Manager be concurred in and that discussions on annexation
at the public hearing on November 8 be confined to annexation of Area E.

included within the pending litigation.
The City Manager stated that the water areas include the areas in litigation plus
other areas and involve ail areas that have been previously annexed, the lands and private

There being no further business to come before the Council, the Regular Meet-
ing of November 1, 1972, was adjourned at 4:00 p.m.
