Bids were received from three firms. Price comparison shows an increase of 32%
from last year. The apparent low bid of Norvell-Wilder Supply Company did not meet
specifications because the price quoted was not firm. (Bid Tab. #73-73)
d. That the contract for Norton Street Storm Sewer Improvements be accepted
and final payment of $18,632.44 be made to the contractor, Slovak Brothers. The
project has been completed within the allotted time. The project was jointly financed
by the City and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The total cost was
$94,222.00.
e. That Parcel No. 35 of the South Staples Street Project from Padre Island
Drive to Saratoga Boulevard be purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Glenn W. Beardsley for
$2,150.00 which is $1,380 over the original appropriation. This recommended settle-
ment in lieu of condemnation is based on an updated opinion of market value by Paul J.
Koepke, appraiser, and assumes that Mr. and Mrs. Beardsley will not be assessed for
paving costs for 20 years but will be assessed for curb, gutter and sidewalk.
Ordinance No. 10366, dated July 21, 1971 previously appropriated $770.00 and thus, an
additional appropriation of $1,380 is requested.
f. That $6,997 be appropriated for the Award of Special Commissioners,
Commissioners fee and appraiser's fees for the acquisition of Parcels No. 13 and 14
of the South Staples Street Project, Padre Island Drive to Saratoga from Mr. Lawrence
Berger, et al. This appropriation supplements a previous appropriation authorized
by Ordinance No. 10784, dated April 5, 1972. Of the $6,997, $6,480 is acquisition
of Parcel No. 13, and $440 is for Commissioners fees and appraiser's fees.
g. That a settlement agreement be authorized with Mrs. L. G. Seward,
Dispatcher, to compensate for salary differentials ($1776) between the classification
of Dispatcher and Fire Alarm Operator from March 24, 1972 when the Equal Employment
Opportunity Act was passed, to August 24, 1973 when the alarm office staffing was
modified to include a Dispatcher and fire alarm Operator in each shift.
h. That the City Manager be authorized to submit to the Criminal Justice
Council a grant application to continue the Police Community Relations Program and
to sign the grant if offered. The grant is for $137,714 of which $117,907 represents
requested Criminal Justice Council participation and $20,807 is the City's local
cash contribution. The grant will extend the program through December 31, 1974.
The program presently employs one Lieutenant, one Sergeant, three Patrolmen, one

National Council on Aging, Inc., and to execute all related documents for the
establishment and funding of a Senior Age Program to provide job opportunities on
a part-time basis for underemployed and unemployed people 55 years of age and over.
Job sites would be with social service agencies or other non-profit agencies provid-
ing a direct service to people. Jobs will be provided for 30 enrollees who will
be paid $1.60 per hour. The National Council on Aging will provide 100% of the
cost of $58,482. The program is to be administered by the City's Senior Community
Service staff.
j. That a drilling permit be approved for Forest Oil Corporation for a
regular location to a depth of 11,000 feet as a straight hole in State Tract 786,
Nueces Bay.
k. That plans and specifications for Electrical & Air Conditioning Modifi-
cations to the eighth floor of the Jones Building be approved and bids be received
November 7, 1973. The work consists of the extension of additional electrical
power supply and installation of an air conditioning unit to accommodate data
processing equipment on the eighth floor of the Jones Building.
1. That plans and specifications for finishing the second floor of Park-
dal Library and the old fire alarm room in La Retama Library be approved and bids
be received November 14, 1973. The work includes, at Parkdale the installation of
new flooring, ceiling, stairway and book lift and small related items, and at
La Retama, the plastering and painting of the walls, new lighting, new ceiling and
floor and removal of an existing concrete pedestal. $30,000 has been appropriated
from Fourth Entitlement Period Revenue Sharing Funds for this project and other work.
m. That plans and specifications for drainage improvements to the Six Points
area be approved and bids be received on November 7, 1973. This 1972 bond election
project involves a storm sewer in South Alameda from Louisiana to the Six Points
area, removal of a number of grade inlets and the interconnection of thissystem
with the present drainage system. The project has been discussed with the Six Points
Merchants Association who have asked that work not begin until after the Christmas
Holidays and the specifications so -provide.

n. That a contract be awarded to C I A Machinery, Inc., San Antonio,
Texas, for one truck mounted crane for the Water Division on their low bid meeting
specifications of $9,679.10, with installation to be done by the City. Four
companies submitted lower bids which did not meet specifications. A winch capable
of lifting 5,000 pounds at a cable speed of at least 75 feet per minute was specified.
The bids of thes4 four companies did not meet this requirement. Bids were received
from 7 firms and no price comparison is available because a like item has not been
purchased previously. (Bid Tab. 74-73)
o. That Ordinance No. 11147, dated November 1, 1972, be corrected to vacate
the alley located between Lot 1, Block 2, Temple Addition; Lot 1, Block 2, Crockett
Heights; Lot 1, Block 1, San Diego Addition, and Lot 1, Block 8, Casa Blanca Addi-
tion, to each of the abutting property owners. The original ordinance vacated the
alley to three of the four abutting property owners even though the intent was to
vacate the alley to all four abutting. The owner omitted was the applicant for
the closing. The alley is parallel to Belton between Sarita and MacArthur.
p. That a contract be approved with Nueces County Mental Health and Mental
Retardation to provide that they will continue their child and youth mental health
services and their drug abuse programs, and that the City will contribute $2,500
per month of which $416.67 per month will pass through for programs of the Corpus
Christi Council on Alcoholism.

clause stating that some commercial and industrial consumers may face gas curtail-
ment if natural gas supplies are insufficient to meet demand.
u. That the final payment of $13,221.10 authorized October 10, 1973 to the
Registry of the Court, which represented the final amount due Manson Industries, Inc.
for Hurricane Celia Repairs to International Airport and which included the deduction
of $1,225.00 for liquidated damages, be amended:to:reflect the final payment accepted
by the District Court based on a final payment of $11,691.20 with no liquidated
damages, $560 for additional plaster work authorized by the City, and $969.90 for
interest since the date of completion of the work, for a total of $13,221.10.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Ricardo Gonzalez and passed, that the City
Manager's Reports, Items "a" through "u" (Item "q" considered separately), be
accepted, and the requests and recommendations be granted and approved as presented
by City Manager Townsend.
City Manager Townsend presented Item "q" excepted in the foregoing motion as
follows: Recommendation that the ordinance passed on Second Reading to amend the
Platting Ordinance be amended on Third Reading to provide the following:
(1) That certification by a professional engineer registered in the
state of Texas be required of all tests and that the City be
provided with two copies of each testing report.
(2) That the subdivider be required to take care of drainage from all
adjacent property whether platted or not. First Reading required
that only drainage from adjacent platted property be taken care of.
(3) That the maintenance warranty not be required to include acts of God
or damages caused by utility operations and that the subdivider be
given the option of providing the City with a performance bond for
the purpose of assuring corrections as a result of defective materials
and workmanship. First reading held the subdivider responsible for
all failures regardless of cause up to 3% of the cost of street, curb
and gutter.
(4) That the compaction method of compacting the base material be clarified
in accordance with ASTM procedures.
•
(5) That the method of payment of thei:testing fee for subdivisions be
changed to require the subdivider to reimburse the City for the
testing fee before the subdivision is accepted for maintenance and
operation and not before construction commences in the subdivision
as was the case when the second reading was held, and that the
contractor be authorized to order the testing if the City Inspector is
not available within two hours after the notification and that the
contractor be responsible for re -testing if the City Inspector determines
that it be necessary.
Mr. Jim Pair, 1221 South Brownlee, representing a local mortgage company,
spoke in protest of the maintenance warranty clause of the proposed ordinance,

stating it would put an unreasonable burden on the developers, and that higher
standards for street construction would solve the problem the ordinance seeks to
eliminate. He pointed out that a subcommittee of the Planning Commission had been
appointed to work with the Engineering. Department to study the matter, and had made
a recommendation that the quality of street construction in subdivisions be
upgraded but did not recommend the warranty requirement. He stated there are many
other things besides workmanship and materials that cause damage,and that it would
be very difficult to prove that the streets of a new subdivision had failed because
of poor workmanship and materials. He requested that this section of the ordinance
be deleted.
Commissioner Branch stated he favored the performance bond requirement
commenting that if it had been required when the Hillcrest improvements were made,
the City could have avoided the repair work now being done. He emphasized that if
the developers' workmanship and materials are good and hold up the first year, then
they have nothing to worry about, and if not, the City will have a basis for
enforcing the warranty requirement.
Mr. Pair stated that heavy cement trucks and other equipment are responsible
for much of the damage to new street construction and over which the developers
have no control. He stated the construction would have to have the same specifi.
cations as expressways to withstand this type of traffic, He suggested that there
be some kind of regulation for operation of heavy equipment on residential streets.
He pointed out that the builder is as interested ingood streets as the City but
felt the testing:should be done during construction, and when accepted and approved
by the City, the City should share the responsibility.
Mr. Edgar Moore, home builder, spoke in protest to the performance bond
requirement stating it would add to the final cost o£ new homes, that he felt it
should be the responsibility of City Inspectors to detect faulty work before it is
accepted and if, after testing, construction is approved, then it should be the
City's responsibility to repair it. He complained that this is just one more
financial burden being placed on the developer making it more difficult to build
houses the majority of people can:afford. Be estimated it would add at least
$100 to the cost per lot. He stated he concurred with statements : r. lair that
the warranty sectionstf *he imrdinance would be slilfAustit -to.ance,-should be

deleted, and further study made for regulations with which both the City and the
builders could live. He questioned if the staff could be setting the standards
high with the expectation of making a compromise.
Mayor Pro Tem Acuff pointed out that a lot of the causes for faulty streets
would be eliminated by the upgrading of materials and workmanship, but that he did
not feel the City should have to bear the burden of repairing streets which did not
hold up for one year.
Mayor Luby stated he agreed that these arguments are valid and the proposed
ordinance would place too much responsibility on the developers and felt it should
be tabled for more study.
Mr. John Keltner, developer, spoke in opposition to the performance bond
stating the streets are damaged by cement trucks and other heavy equipment; that
if the developer builds according to specifications he should not be required
to assume the burden for a situation over which he has no control. He stated if
the specifications are not sufficient then they should be changed and the City
should enforce compliance. He stated he felt the ordinance needs more study and
that those most involved should be included in this study.
Mr. Sam Crecelius, developer, spoke in opposition to the warranty requirement
on behalf of those concerned, stating City equipment is responsible for much of
the damage, there is a lack of coordination as to the specifications and inspec-
tions of completed work, and that City engineers are in a better position and best
qualified for this task.
City Manager Townsend explained that the subcommittee of which Mr. Pair
referred was made up basically of developers and home builders. He explained the
purpose of the ordinance and stated he had no objections to this section being
tabled, but if there is to be more study the Staff will need guidance as to its
role and the Council should indicate whether or not they favor some kind of warranty
or no warranty.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Ricardo Gonzalez and passed, that Paragraph 3
of the City Manager's recommendation relative to a performance bond be deleted and
this section of the ordinance be given more consideration; that the Platting
Ordinance Amendment, read on the first two of three readings on September 19, 1973
and September 26, 1973, be amended as follows prior to its final reading:

Mayor Luby announced the Council would at this time hold public hearings on
zoning applications.
City Manager Townsend presented Application #873-3, Jesse Del Valle, for
change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "A-2" Apartment House
District on Lot 191, Baymoor Addition, located on the southwest corner of Baymoor
Boulevard and Ebony Street at I.H. 37. The request was heard by the Planning Com-
mission August 21, 1973 and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that
it be denied but in lieu thereof a special permit be granted according to the site
plan approved September 18, 1973 for a triplex subject to connection of the two
buildings. The Staff's recommendation was for denial on the basis that apartment
zoning would only increase the density and subject more people to the hazardous

condition that exists adjacent to the north. Mr. Townsend reported that two letters
had been received after the Planning Commission hearing in opposition and two in
favor of the request.
A representative of the applicant was present and stated the special permit
as recommended by the Planning Commission would be acceptable.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Tom Gonzales and passed, Luby and Acuff voting
"Nay", that the recommendation of the Planning Commission be concurred in and Appli-
cation #873-4, Jesse Del Valle, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling
District to "A-2" Apartment House District on Lot 191, Baymoor Addition, located on
the southwest corner of Baymoor Boulevard and Ebony Street at I.H. 37, be denied but
in lieu thereof, a special permit be granted according to the site plan approved by
the. Commission September 18, 1973 for a triplex subject to connection of the two
buildings, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the special permit.
City Manager Townsend presented Application #973-7, Lynn Gray (Jim Wheeler,
Trustee), for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "I-2"
Light Industrial District on the southwest 749.89 feet of Block 4, J. C. Russell
Farm Blocks, located on the northeast corner of South Padre Island Drive and Bear
Lane. The request was heard by the Planning Commission September 18, 1973, and
referred to the Council with the recommendation that it be approved with the applicant
filing voluntary deed restrictions on uses which would be objectionable to the adjacent
school and residential properties in the area. The Staff's opinion was that the
"I-2" would be an intrusion into a residential area and would have a detrimental
effect on development around and adjacent to the Weat Oso High School complex. Mr.
Townsend stated he finds it difficult to understand how an intrusion into a resi-
dential area
esi-dential.area could be considered a logical extension of "I-2" zoning. He explained
that this entire area was considered with a master plan development in mind; that
when Baldwin Farms Tract was divided, a land use plan of the entire area was con-
sidered and industrial zoning was left next to Highway 44 and business zoning along
Padre Island Drive; that it was the plan that the balance of the area be considered
as residential; and that the area across from the golf course to a strip one-quarter
of a mile off Highway 44 was down -zoned t� residential at the request of the owner
of Baldwin Farms.

Commissioner Ricardo Gonzalez pointed out that it is logical that the school
system would be in favor of the zoning request for the increased taxation for support
of the system. He pointed out that there had been no growth in this area other than
Village on the Green and West Haven for sometime.
Mr. R. S. Garza, superintendent of West Oso School, spoke on behalf of the
Board of Trustees, stating they were definitely in favor of the "I-2" zoning as
requested. He pointed out that there had been no development of the "B-4" and "R -1B"
for three years; that there was a barricade on Bloomington and the street had not
been opened. He stated the school needs the tax funds and asked that the request be
granted. He explained that they have a buyer for the property who proposed to develop
the land with the objectionable uses removed. City Manager Townsend raised the
question as to whether or not the applicant was aware that residential uses may be
excluded from the "I-2" classification, and whether or not the applicant had stated
at the Commission hearing his proposed use of the land.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Acuff and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Ricardo Gonzalez, seconded by Tom Gonzales and passed, Acuff
voting "Nay", that the foregoing Application #973-7, Lynn Gray (Jim Wheeler, Trustee),
be tabled pending a statement from the applicant as to the intended uses of the land,
also that restrictions against the sale of alcoholic beverages be added to the 12
restrictions to be filed.
City Manager Townsend stated the barricade on Bloomington Street will be
investigated with the view of opening the street.
City Manager Townsend presented Application #973-8, John Tucker, for change
of zoning from "R-2" Two-family Dwelling District to "AB" Professional Office
District on Lot 1, Block 1, Congress Place Unit 2, located on the northeast corner
of Weber Road and Capitol Drive. The request was heard by the Planning Commission
September 18, 1973 and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be
approved as a logical use of the property. The Staff recommended denial. Mr.
Townsend stated three letters had been received since the Commission hearing in
opposition and two in favor.
A resident of adjacent property spoke in opposition to the requested change
on the basis that there is no protection against future uses of the property, would
create more traffic along Weber Road, would not enhance property values, would be
an encroachment into an established residential area, and contrary to the overall

plan of the neighborhood.
Mr. John Waller,.attorney representing the applicant, stated there had
been some confusion on the part of those who opposed the request at the Commission
hearing as to the use ofthe property. He pointed out that the applicant owns the
property across Capitol Drive and the Tract on the northeast corner of Saratoga and
Weber Road, is planning development of these areas and would not have requested this
zoning if it is detrimental to the sale of the other lots. He stated that since
obtaining the "R-2" on the property of request he has found that townhouse market
is not as good as it was a year or so ago, that a survey of residents shows that
more are in favor than against and some who sent letters in opposition are now in
favor. He pointed out that under the "R-2", 2-1/2 story building may be constructed
and his client would agree to deed restrict limiting construction to two story, and
stated the fence requirement would be complied with.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Tom Gonzales and passed, that the hearing be
closed.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Ricardo Gonzalez and passed, that the recommenda-
tion of the Planning Commission be concurred in and Application #973-8, John Tucker,
for change of zoning from "R-2" Two-family Dwelling District to "AB" Professional
Office District on Lot 1, Block 1, Congress Place Unit 2, be approved and an
ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change subject to the filing of deed
restrictions limiting the height of buildings to two story.
It was agreed that the Traffic Engineering Department would work with the
applicant relative to ingress and egress of the property.
City Manager Townsend presented Application #973-9, C. R. Payne, J. R.
Pritchett & Bruce Anderson, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling
District to "I-2" Light Industrial District on 117.8 acres of land out of Survey
406, Abstract 963, Nueces County, located between Rand Morgan and Clarkwood Roads,
south of Sedwick Road. The request was heard by the Planning Commission September
18, 1973, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be approved
on the basis of the Staff's recommendation that this area is interlaced with pipe-
lines and abandoned oil wells and is in the approach zone of the Airport which is
not desirable for residential uses.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.

for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "R-2" Two-family

Commission September 18, 1973, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation
that it be approved as a logical extension of "R-2" zoning along the northeast
side of the street. The Staff concurred in this recommendation. Mr. Townsend
explained that it was the understanding that the lots would be deed restricted
to one story buildings and new construction and that the approval of the Commission
had been with that understanding.

the Planning Commission be concurred in and Application #973-10, City of Corpus
Christi, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "R-2"
Two-family Dwelling District on lot 3, Block 2, Carmel Village Village, be approved
and an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change subject to the filing
of deed restrictions limiting the construction to new one-story buildings.
Mr. Townsend presented Application #973-11, City of Corpus Christi, Texas,
for change of zoning from "R-2" Two-family Dwelling District and a Special Permit
to "AB" Professional Office District on Lots 2 thru 4, Block 6; and Lots 1 thru 5,
Block 5, Alameda Park, located on the south side of Avalon Street between Everhart
Road and Robert Drive. The request was heard by the Planning Commission September
18, 1973, and forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that it be denied
on the basis that it would be an intrusion into a residential area and the property

owners in the area are opposed. The Staff's opinion was that the existing "R-2"
provides -a good transition type zone and since the "AB" was granted on one end of
the block and a special permit on the other, the "AB" would be an extension of the
existing "AB", would serve.as a good transition without having -an adverse effect
on the area, and on that basis recommended approval. He reported that since the
Commission hearing, three letters had been received in opposition, and a petition
containing 11 signatures and nine letters indicating their approval of the request.
Mr. Ken Yarborough, attorney representing Mr. Paul Hamon, et al, owners of
the property, explained that it is a logical extension of the existing zoning,
pointing out that they had been granted 'AB" and a special permit on a portion of
the tract. Hepointedout on a map those property owners'who areinfavor, and
stated some of those who had been opposed were now in favor because they had been
under the impression their property would also become "AB" usage and would have to
move their houses.
Mr. Paul Hamon spoke in favor of the request, stating he had talked to Mrs.
Emma Hicks last night and when advised that she would not have to move her resi-
dence, she had signed the petition in favor. City Manager Townsend pointed out that
letters had been received from both Mrs. Hicks and Mrs. Munroe Miller in opposition,
and that they would have to withdraw these letters of opposition if they wished to
be recorded in favor. Mr. Hamon agreed there was a traffic problem in the area
and the City should take steps to create a one-way street pattern on Avalon.
Mr. John Mendleski, property owner of the subject request, including the
first four lots of the shopping center, stated a special permit was granted for a
parking lot and he planned to construct the parking. He stated he would favor
the change of zoning rather than the special permit. Mr. Townsend inquired of
Mr. Mendleski if he was aware that he would loose his Special Permit for the park-
ing lot if the zoning change request is granted. Mr. Mendleski stated he already
has his permit for the parking lot.
Motion by Branch, seconded by Acuff and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Branch, seconded by Acuff and passed, that Application #973-11,
City of Corpus Christi, be tabled pending a Staff survey of persons residing on
properties from Everhart to the location of the Special Permit to determine if
they are aware that they would not have to move if the zoning is granted.

subsection 20-5.02 to read as follows;
20-5.02 There shall be a rear yard not less than ten feet (10')
in width on the rear of a lot adjoining "R-lA", "R -1B", "R-2",
"A-1" or "A-2" residential districts.
Mr. Townsend explained that this proposed amendment was an omission from a previous
action, and that the Planning Commission recommended approval.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Acuff and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the foregoing pzaposed
Text Amendment be approved and an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the
amendment.
Mayor Luby called for petitions or information from the audience on matters
not scheduled on the agenda.
Mr. Armador Basuldua, 4544 Sharpsburg Road, appealed to the Council to
take some action to correct the flooding of his property located near Calallen.
He stated that the staff personnel had been out to view the situation since his
appearance before the Council last week, but nothing had been done. He stated he
had been forced out of his home for two days as a result of recent rains, and
maintained that the flooding is from the river. He presented pictures of the
flooding condition. City Manager Townsend stated he would go in person. and see
if there is anything the City can do to alleviate the drainage problem. Mr.
Basuldua stated a ditch in front of his house would help. Director of Engineering
and Physical Development James K. Lontos stated he had investigated the complaint
in the past week and the conclusion was that the water is coming from the -river.
Mrs. W. B. Carter, owner of the Capri Motor Inn on Corpus Christi Beach,
complained of a flooding condition at the location of her Motel, stating that it
was the fault of the City in not providing protection from the boat ramp located
in the area. She stated she had failed in an attempt to get the staff there
during high tide to view the condition at its worst. She appealed to the Council
to install a drainage system on Corpus Christi Beach to handle the overflow which

she stated could and should be done. She stated they did not have the problem
until the Channel was widened and 600 feet of the jetties removed. City Manager
Townsend explained that the removal of the portion of the jetty was in connection
with a joint County and City project. He explained how the drainage plan of
Corpus Christi Beach was to be coordinated with the overall Beach Restoration
Program through use of Bond funds.
Mayor Luby and Mr. Townsend pledged their personal attention and support
in all efforts to correct the drainage problems on Corpus Christi Beach.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Branch and passed, that Mr. David M. Hanger
be appointed to replace Mr. Carroll Hudson on the Bay Drilling Committee.
