Mayor Pro Tem Turner mentioned the amendments to the original charter
for this committee and asked that it be amended in regard to the location of
meetings and the method of attendance and the fact that the alternates will be
requested to attend all meetings but will be unable to vote.
Mayor Jones called for the City Manager's Reports. City Manager
Townsend presented the following items with related comments and explanations
and recommended that:
1. A public hearing be held on June 24, 1981 on a proposed change
to the Master Storm Sewer Plan in the vicinity of Bear Lane and
South Padre Island Drive. The developers of two industrial
subdivisions in the area have offered to dedicate 100 -foot drainage
rights-of-way through the platting process in order to facilitate
development of their tracts.
2. A public hearing be held on June 24, 1981 regarding the deletion of
sidewalks on the west side of Meuly Street from Ruth Street to Mary
Street. Due to the various businesses fronting on Port Avenue and
backing on to Meuly Street, many cars would tend to block the
sidewalks by parking across the sidewalk at driveways and garage
door openings. The sidewalks are currently under contract as part of
the Lamar School Area Street Improvements, Unit II project.
City Manager Townsend informed the Council that this deletion would
involve a $6,000.00 deduction in the cost of the project; the residents on Meuly
seem to concur that it would be preferable to delete the sidewalk extending
along one side of the street at the rear of the commercial properties which front
on Port Avenue. Mr. Townsend stated that the Staff suggests that the hearing
be conducted and the property owners with residential property facing on Meuly
Streets be informed of the public hearing.
3. Bids be received June 30, 1981, for hourly contract rate for
journeyman electrician for supplemental electrical maintenance service
to City facilities through the Maintenance Services Department.
4. Bids be received June 30, 1981 for an additional sludge pump, diesel
engine and trailer for the Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant to be
used in the subsurface injection of sludge. Currently, there is only
one pump which is used at the Oso, Westside and Allison Plants. The
additional pump will reduce the transporting the current pump
between the three plants and will serve as a backup, when needed.
Assistant City Manager James K. Lontos explained the purpose of the
clarifiers at the plants.
Council Member Gulley mentioned that he heard that the Allison Plant was
in need of more land for utilization for sludge treatment which would necessitate
the removal of the archery range and the Boy Scout activities in that area.

City Manager Townsend explained that he was not aware of this but agreed
that occasionally the sludge may have to be plowed around the archery range.
He stated that he will check this with the Staff Thursday morning.
5. Bids be received July 7, 1981, for a fume exhaust booth and a paint
spray booth with exhaust system for the Traffic Engineering Sign
Shop. The spray paint booth will allow signs to be painted in an
area where paint fumes can be exhausted and excess paint collected.
The booth will also inhibit dust collecting on freshly painted signs.
The fume exhaust system will improve the existing system in the
screen processing room. The current method is inefficient and allows
accumulated fumes in various parts of the room. Both items are in
the 1980-81 Budget.
6. Bids be received July 14, 1981, for a twelve months supply agreement
for approximately 100 firefighter helmets and 70 pairs (coats and
pants) of bunker clothing for the Fire Department.
7. Bids be received July 21, 1981, for a twelve months supply agreement
for street construction material and flexible base caliche and mudshell
including approximately 497,000 gallons of emulsified asphalt, 60,000
gallons of asphalt oils, 32,310 tons of rock asphalt pre -coated
agregate, 65,675 tons caliche, 19,625 tons hot -mix asphalt, 1,000 tons
lime and 50,000 cu. yds. mudshell to be used by the Street, Water
and Wastewater Services Divisions.
8. Six month supply contracts be awarded to Chaparral Petro -Mark for
transport delivery of regular gasoline at the initial low bid of $1.079
per gallon and transport deliveryof unleaded gasoline at $1.119 per
gallon; and to Texas Star Service for tankwagon delivery of regular
gasoline at the initial low bid of $1.1295 per gallon and tankwagon
delivery of unleaded gasoline at $1.1695 per gallon. Bids were
received from six firms. Price comparison shows a decrease of 9.76%.
A six month contract is recommended instead of a twelve month one
because gasoline prices tend to fluctuate frequently.
9. Bids be received on June 29, 1981 for the sale of Lots 10 and 11,
Block 2, La Paloma Addition (25' x 94.5' each lot) located at 1211
Elgin Street. This property was acquired by the City at the
Sheriff's delinquent tax sale in 1973 for $1,000.
10. Plans and specifications for Nueces County Courthouse Area Street
Improvements be approved and bids be received July 8, 1981. This
1977 Bond project includes the following streets:
Comanche Street - North Staples Street to Carancahua Street;
Artesian Street - Blucher Street to Lipan Street; Carrizo Street -
Blucher Street to Lipan Street; Lipan Street Resurfacing - N. Staples
Street to Carancahua
The Lipan Street portion and the one block of Carrizo and Artesian
Streets north of Comanche are not in the bond program scope. Lipan
Street is recommended because the street has deteriorated and needs
a hot -mix overlay and the additional block portions of Carrizo and
Artesian Streets will complete the area as the County has installed
permanent improvements on half of these streets when the courthouse
was built.

11. A contract for $75,857.87 be awarded to Maverick Construction
Company for the Hearn Road Ditch Realignment of 48" Water Line
project and $80,000 be appropriated for the contract award and
related expenses. This project will repair Hurricane Allen damage to
the protective structure around the 48" water transmission line at the
Hearn Ditch location. The repair work consists of installing concrete
bearing and support caps under the water line plus realigning and
constructing a concrete channel approximately 200 feet upstream of
the water line to control the direction of flow. A grant in lieu for
$13,875 has been previously requested from FEMA. When bids were
opened, R. S. Black was the apparent low bidder. However, after
correcting mathematical errors in the extension of unit prices in
Maverick's bid, Maverick Construction Company is the low bidder.
12. Change Order No. 1 for $7,910 be approved to the Corpus Christi
Breakwater and McGee Beach Concession Area contract with the
Goldston Corporation for repair to the Marina Patrol Boat Dock in the
Peoples Street T -Head. The boat dock was damaged by Hurricane
Allen. This work was included in the Peoples Street T -Head project
as an alternate, but due to the high bid it was not included in the
final contract award. The project has now been redesigned and only
repairs are recommended rather than total replacement. The price
quoted is the lowest of the two from contractors who are presently
working on the L -Head.
13. Change Order No. 2 to the Cole Park Fishing Pier Repair project be
approved for deducted amount of $7,800. The condition of structural
beams at the T -section was not as serious as had been originally
indicated and therefore, a lesser amount of repair work is necessary
on the beams. Also, one of the beams can be adequately repaired
rather than replaced. Work is now 60% complete on this project.
14. Change Order No. 3 to the Kennedy Causeway improvements contract
with Isles Construction Company for $6,594.50 be approved. The
Change Order provides for the contractor filling a large void beneath
the concrete floor of the existing restroom which is being
rehabilitated. The void was discovered when plumbing work was done.
It is proposed to fill the void with pressure grout.
15. An additional $7,463.45 be appropriated out of the Park Bond Fund
for additional architectural services by Mr. John Olson for design of
the Corpus Christi Beach and Cole Park Comfort Stations. This
additional appropriation is recommended due to an increase in the
original estimated cost and numerous redesigns of both lift stations.
The original fee was 8.5% of $225,000 or $19,125. Final estimated cost
before scope reductions was $396,648. The actual construction
contract is $261,200.
16. Leon Howard, Inc., of Bryan, Texas, Golf Course Architect, be hired
to design a sprinkler system for the Oso Golf Course. The work will
involve preliminary designs, preparation of plans, specifications,
contract documents and provide general overall construction
supervision. The fee will be 8% of the estimated construction of
$250,000 or $20,000. Funds are available in the 1980-81 Budget for
the Oso Golf Course. Mr. Howard has planned and supervised the
installation of over 100 irrigation systems including 66 on golf courses
of which the Corpus Christi Golf Center is one.
City Manager Townsend stated that it was generally understood that the
funds obtained in the sale of the Parade Place lots would be used for
improvements to the Golf Course.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner inquired if local architects had been notified about
this job.

City Manager Townsend explained that the Staff was not aware of any local
architects who are knowledgeable about golf course sprinkling system
installations. He explained that a salesman for a particular company would not
be adequate for this and the only ones who design such systems are salesmen
who are attempting to sell their own equipment.
Council Member Dumphy informed the City Manager that Mr. Herman
Johnson is very experienced in the design of systems for golf courses.
City Manager Townsend stated that he would temporarily withdraw this
item until a Staff member checks on this.
Assistant City Manager Lontos stated that he had checked with the Park
and Recreation Department personnel who had contacted Mr. Johnson and
ascertained that he was not interested in designing the sprinkler system for the
Oso Golf Course at this time.
City Manager Townsend commented that more than likely Mr. Johnson
would bid on the installation of the system after it is designed.
17. The general Fund be reimbursed $223,093.79 for engineering on
various Bond and Community Development projects for February,
March and April, 1981 and that $181,916.97 be appropriated to
supplement $41,176.82 in existing appropriations. Reimbursements
include: Street ($138,570), Airport ($7,274), Sanitary Sewer
($9,302), Park ($10,106), Storm Sewer ($8,763), Community
Development Projects ($49,080).
The majority of the reimbursements is comprised of the following
projects: Lamar School Area Street Improvements ($23,214), Downtown
Improvements ($21,638), Cabaniss Acres Street Improvements
($21,157), Segrest Addition Street Improvements ($19,157) Ella Barnes
Unit 1B ($17,908), Lexington Estates -Mahan Acres ($17,101), Main
Drive Drainage ($5,643), Calallen Drive ($5,240).
18. The following actions be taken in connection with American Airlines
request to utilize a gate at International Airport:
(a) Gate No. 6, including a portion of the International Arrival
Building, containing approximately 1,392 square feet, be used.
American Airlines will pay $7.83 per square foot per year for
space or a total of $10,900. In addition, gate houses 3 and 4
will be available when there is no flight conflict.
(b) American Airlines be authorized to make necessary changes to
the gatehouse, at their expenses, including construction of a
security fence along the concourse. All of such construction will
be temporary and paid by American.
19. A land lease be approved with American Airlines for a 24' x 60'
portable temporary air cargo building west of the terminal. The lease
will be for $600/year or $50/month on a month to month basis. All
costs incurred will be borne by American Airlines, including the
pavement in front of the building.
20. An agreement be approved transferring maintenance and operation of
four flashing signals at Saratoga Blvd. and Ayers Street from the
State to the City. These flashers were installed prior to annexation
of this intersection. The State does not maintain traffic signals on
non -controlled access highways within cities over 15,000 population

21. Revised contracts with the State General Land Office for existing
easements across submerged lands in Oso Bay for a 30 -inch water
main and across Laguna Madre for a 24 -inch main for $3,895 be
renewed for 10 years. Contracts approved on July 9, 1980 incorrectly
provided for a payment of $186.75. These easements were acquired
in 1970 when the 30 -inch main serving Flour Bluff and the 24 -inch
main extension to Padre Island were constructed.
22. A contract with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company for installation
and monthly service charges for a telephone system for the Utilities
Office be approved. The system will provide 5 trunk lines, 4 direct
lines into Customer Service, 4 direct lines into Credit & Collections, 1
direct line for administrative uses, and 10 stations connecting the
main City Hall switchboard with the Utilities system. Customers will
be able to dial the Utilities Office directly relieving a part of the
overload on the City Hall switchboard. Calls to Customer Service can
be monitored by a supervisor to assist in training of new employees.
Installation costs are $4,973.70 and monthly service charges of
$1,527.30. This is an increase of approximately $1,000 per month
over current telephone charges.
Council Member Kennedy inquired if the City Staff has investigated the
possibility of using a private system for the telephone service in the Utilities
Office.
City Manager Townsend replied that the Staff has not considered this
because Southwestern Bell Telephone Company pays a tax to the City whereas
the private systems do not.
Council Member Gulley inquired about the source of funding for this
installation.
City Manager Townsend explained that the salary balances in the Utilities
Office can be used to handle this cost. He also pointed out that removing the
lines to a separate system for the Utilities Office will relieve the overloaded
condition of the City Hall switchboard.
23. Sun Oil Company be granted a permit to drill a well from a regular
location 3.2 miles seaward of City Hall. The State Tract 56 Well No.
1 will be directionally drilled to a depth of 8,750 feet from the
regular cluster in State Tract 55. No exceptions to the Bay Drilling
Ordinance are requested.
24. The recommendation of the Bay Drilling Committee that a permit be
granted Highland Resources Incorporated to drill a directional well
from an irregular location be approved. The State Tract 20 Well No.
2 will be drilled from a surface location 5 miles seaward of the Harbor
Bridge and 100 feet south of the south boundary of the ship channel
fairway and with a bottomhole location 9,500 feet beneath the center
of the ship channel. The presence of the ship channel and a spoil
disposal area precludes use of the regular cluster in State Tract 20.
No other exceptions to the Bay Drilling Ordinance are requested.

26. A one year agreement be approved with Our Lady of Guadalupe
Center for rental of 2,800 square feet of space at 3529 Morgan Street
for use by the Health Department. The space will be used for
issuing food vouchers and nutritional education for participants in the
federally funded Women -Infants -Children program. The program is
currently located in 2,975 square feet at Lulac Village at 1417 Horne
Road, but the landlord has advised that the program be moved by
June 30, 1981. The terms of the new agreement are the same as the
present agreement, except that the rent will be $400 per month
instead of $300. Either party may cancel the contract with 45 days
notice.
27. The request of the Board of Trustees of the Firemen's Relief and
Retirement fund be approved for the City to pay the estimated cost of
$2,500 for the Wyatt Company to update the pension fund's actuarial
report. The most recent report was January 1, 1980. The fund is
only permitted to pay for such studies once every three years.
Benefits have not been increased since September 11, 1978. The
update will allow the Board to consider increasing contributions and
benefits .
28. The platting ordinance be amended to allow approval of subdivision
plats prior to the completion of improvements if the plans for water,
sewer, streets and drainage have been previously approved and
construction of these improvements is at least 75% complete, after the
developer submits a sworn affidavit requesting approval of the plat
and agrees to complete improvements to the' satisfaction of the City
prior to utility service taps being made on any lot within the
subdivision.
29. An amendment to the Community Development Corporation contract be
approved providing for CDC to act as controlling authority for the
Revolving Rehabilitation Fund, thereby providing a more efficient
means of carrying out the Demonstration Rehabilitation Program and
appropriating $100,000 from Fourth Year Community Development
Block Grant funds for this Program which had been previously
approved by Council action, $28,918 of which had previously been
committed to this project.
30. A $27,500 settlement be approved with Ms. Abigail H. Montes for
personal injuries as a passenger on a City bus when it struck a
drainage culvert on Sharpsburg Road on April 1, 1980. $1,753.47
has already been paid for part of her medical expenses. Her injuries
included a dislocated right shoulder, and pain in her left knee, left
hip, and lower back. She has a partial permanent disability.
31. The recommendation of the Senior Community Services Advisory
Committee be approved that smoking be banned at Lindale Senior
Center dining room between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
Smoking has been prohibited during these hours in the dining room
on a trial basis. After discussing, the issue with the Center users,
the Advisory Committee recommends that the ban be continued.
32. A contract be approved with the Department of Highways and Public
Transportation and the Department of Public Safety for the State to
provide a replacement intoxilyzer (breathalyzer) for use by the Police
Department in DWI cases. The State will maintain and calibrate it at
its own expense.
33. The settlement proposal of Crystal Petroleum, offering the City
$86,291.94 as restitution for possible over -pricing of petroleum
products pursuant to enforcement actions taken by the Department of
Energy, be accepted.
Mayor Jones ascertained that no one in the audience wished to speak on
the City Manager's Reports.

Motion by Zarsky that the City Manager's Reports, items 1 through 33, be
approved; seconded by Hawkins; and passed unanimously.
Mayor Jones announced the recessed public hearing on the following
matter:
MO -MAC Properties from "B-4" to "I-2" on Block B, Lexington Village,
Unit 2, located on the east side of Richter Street approximately 437' south
of Padre Island Drive. The public hearing on this case was recessed from
last week until a full Council could be present because the 20% rule is in
effect. The Planning Commission recommended denial but in lieu thereof, a
special permit be approved for mini -storage unites with the site plan
addressing the location of buildings, ingress, egress, indirect lighting,
signage, standard screening fence and off-street parking.
City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the neighbors in the
area had filed a protest and the 20% is in effect.
City Manager Townsend then presented a site plan that shows six large
warehouses to be constructed on the property.
Chief Planner Wenger reviewed the case by locating the area on the zoning
and land use map and showing slides of the area.
City Manager Townsend stated that the petition in opposition was received
today and reminded them of the opposition previously expressed by the Housing
Authority.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner stated that she had visited the area during the
lunch hour and one of the primary objections by the property owners in the
area was the traffic problem that would exist with large trucks going down
Richter Street. She noted that the property is already zoned "B-4", and it is
possible that large trucks would go down Richter Street even with the existing
zoning.
Chief Planner Wenger agreed but pointed out that a large moving company
could not be operated in "B-4" zoning.
City Manager Townsend agreed that if the zoning is changed, the
possibility of more large moving vans would be quite likely.
Mr. Joe McComb, one of the applicants, informed the Council that they
would accept a special permit rather than the "I-2" zoning. He commented that
Mr. Noe Morin, who had objected to this change of zoning, is operating a
business at a residential location on Johanna Street and pointed out that he is
just requesting a similar business. He assured the Council that he would be
willing to have signs erected to prohibit large trucks from going down Johanna

or Milo Street and stated that he felt that the owners of Shoppers World might
allow his company to use their service drive. Mr. McComb contended that a
special permit would be no more of a problem than the existing "B-4" zoning
use, pointing out that there would be no activity associated with the moving
company on the weekends and the large trucks would not come down that street
at that time. Mr. McComb assured the Council also that if trucks from out of
town arrive in the City during the night, they will not go to this property but
will park at motels until the following morning. He stated that he felt that
there is more control over the use if a special permit is granted than there
is in the existing "B-4" zoning. He also stated that he will not be able to
afford to construct all the buildings shown on the site plan that he has
submitted at this time.
Speaking in opposition to change of zoning was Mrs. Ruthmary Price,
Executive Director of the Housing Authority. She stated that the Housing
Authority has taken the position that this is a heavy industry which they
intend to construct in an area generally used for residential use. Mrs. Price
stated that the Housing Authority objects to the special permit as well as the
"I-2" zoning. She explained that there are 30 four bedroom single-family units
at this location and they object to any intensification of use above the
mini -storage warehouses that are allowed at this time.
Mr. Noe Morin, 2545 Johanna Street, refuted the statement made by Mr.
McComb in regard to his home occupation and stated that his business does not
detract from the character of the neighborhood. He presented a petition in
opposition which contained 27 signatures. Mr. Morin also noted that signs
prohibiting heavy trucks do not really prevent their going down the street. He
stated in reference to his business that he only had one van which is kept in a
garage and one pickup truck which is his family automobile.
City Manager Townsend agreed that Mr. Morin's home business does not
seem to be in violation of "R -1B" zoning. Mr. Townsend also stated that there
are very few uses in "B-4" zoning that could generate a great deal of heavy
truck traffic.
Also speaking in opposition to this zoning change was Mrs. Morin who
stated that granting a special permit would create additional problems in the
neighborhood. She reminded the Council that a taxicab company was granted a
ites
alar Council Meeting
June 10, 1981
Page 11
special permit in their neighborhood some time ago to operate two taxicabs but
in a very short time, they had seven taxicabs in operation. Mrs. Morin
contended that this is what usually happens when a special permit for a
particular use is granted.
Mr. McComb spoke again' and read the list of items that could be installed
in "B-4" zoning and expressed the opinion that his planned use would be no
more objectionable than the types of businesses allowed in the "B-4" zoning.
No one else spoke in regard to this zoning application.
Motion by Gulley that the hearing be closed; seconded by Hawkins; and
passed unanimously.
Motion by Zarsky that "I-2" zoning for the MO -MAC Properties be denied
but in lieu thereof that a special permit be granted acording to the site plan
submitted; seconded by Gullley.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that the site plan submitted does not
address anything except the buildings that are to be constructed.
Council Member Zarsky offered an amendment to his motion to the effect
that the special permit would be granted with the requirement that the traffic
exiting from the MO -MAC Properties be required to turn right on Richter Street
to go directly to the Padre Island Drive access road.
City Manager Townsend stated that if this is approved, the very large
trucks will use Johanna, Milo and Sacky Streets and all other neighborhood
streets to exit the area.
Mayor Jones stated that he felt that this motion to approve a special permit
was wrong; it is very clearly an invasion of "I-2" zoning in a residential
neighborhood; and even though the Council calls it a special permit, it will be
the type of business that is actually "I-2" use. He stated that he will vote
"no" on this motion.
Council Member Dumphy stated that he is familiar with this property and
he was of the opinion that any type of use allowed in "B-4" zoning would
generate more traffic than the proposed use. He stated that if the Council
requires the right turn on Richter Street to go to Padre Island Drive, there
should be no objections from the neighbors.
Mayor Jones called for the vote on the motion to approve the special permit
with the stipulation that the traffic exiting from the MO -MAC Property must

turn right on Richter Street and go directly to Padre Island Drive and it
passed by the following vote: Turner, Dumphy, Gulley, Hawkins, Kennedy and
Zarsky voting, "Aye"; Jones voting "Nay".
**********
Mayor Jones announced the consideration of the following tabled item:
To prezone 7.39 acres "A-1" so that when annexed it will be "A-1" rather
than "R -1B". This text amendment was heard by the City Council on
January 14, 1981 at which time the application was tabled to resolve traffic
problems on adjacent Teague Lane. The Traffic Engineering report
indicates that once Wildcat Drive and Teague Lane are improved to full
street standards and the streets at FM 624 and Calallen Drive are widened,
traffic congestion will be eliminated. Until these improvements are made,
there will be traffic congestion when the Calallen High School dismisses
classes. The owners have agreed to drain the tract according to the
Drainage Master Plan.
City Manager Townsend explained that the Staff was concerned about the
drainage from this type of land and the zoning case was tabled to work out the
traffic congestion and the drainage plan. He informed the Council that the
applicant has agreed to continue the drainge in the original design and the
traffic has been discussed and those opposed to it have been reconciled to the
traffic problem.
Chief Planner Wenger reviewed the case that was considered six months
ago.
Motion by Dumphy that the zoning of "A-1" be approved to pre -zone the
7.39 acres; seconded by Zarsky; and passed unanimously.
*********
Mayor Jones presented the following tabled zoning case:
Mr. Jesus Alaniz from "R -1B" with "SP" to "A-1" on Lots 23, 24 and 25,
Block 12, La Pascua No. 2, located on the southeast corner of Villareal
and Yolanda Drives. The public hearing was held on this application on
June 3, 1981 and it was tabled until a full Council could be present. The
Planning Commission recommends denial, but in lieu thereof, a special
permit be approved for apartments.
Chief Planner Wenger pointed out to the Council on the map that the
property in question is zoned "R -1B" as is all of the property in this area of
the map including two new houses that have just been constructed directly
across the street; there is a school in the near vicinity; and the applicant
plans the construction of ten units.
Motion by Hawkins that the Council concur with the recommendation of the
Planning Commission and grant a special permit in lieu of the "A-1" zoning
r- •jested; seconded by Dumphy.

Council Member Zarsky pointed out that this is a clear intrusion into a
single-family dwelling area and he did not feel that "A-1" zoning or a special
permit for apartments would be appropriate.
Mayor Jones called for the vote on the motion and it failed to pass by the
following vote: Dumphy, Gulley and Hawkins voting, "Aye"; Jones, Turner,
Kennedy and Zarsky voting, "Nay".
Motion by Zarsky that the application for Mr. Jesus Alaniz be denied;
seconded by Turner; and passed by the following vote: Jones, Turner,
Kennedy and Zarsky voting, "Aye"; Dumphy, Gulley and Hawkins voting,
"Nay".
Mayor Jones called for consideration of the following tabled zoning case:
Mr. Richard Kemp from "B-1" to "B-4" on Lot 1, Block 9, Windsor Park
Unit I located on the southeast corner of Sharon Drive and South Alameda
Street. A public hearing was held on this application on May 20, 1981.
The application was tabled until a full Council could be present. The 20%
rule is in effect.
Chief Planner Wenger briefly reviewed the case, showed slides of the area,
and reminded the Council that the 20% rule is in effect.
City Manager Townsend explained that the applicant wanted to expand his
business to construct an office building on the subject property in the existing
"B-1" zoning but he could not expand his dry cleaning business. He presented
to the Council a small drawing prepared by the applicant of the proposed
expansion and parking spaces and stated that basically, the drawing indicates
that the applicant plans to double the size of the building.
Council Member Zarsky pointed out that the applicant could replat his lot
and do what he wants to do under those circumstances.
City Manager Townsend stated that this was not quite true because Mr.
Kemp plans to construct an additional building for storage that would be of a
large size. He also noted that the plan submitted is not adequate for a site plan
and he questioned whether or not there is even enough land to construct this
large a building.
Motion by Zarsky that the zoning of "B-4" be denied on the application
but in lieu thereof that a special permit be granted subject to an approved site
plan; seconded by Gulley.

Council Member Dumphy pointed out that the applicant assured the Council
that he would not be leasing any space but would use everything built for
office and storage.
Mayor Jones called for the vote on the motion and it passed by the
following vote: Jones, Dumphy, Gulley, Hawkins, Kennedy and Zarsky voting,
"Aye"; Turner voting, "Nay".
City Manager Townsend asked for directions for the Staff as to what
should be done to develop this special permit. He stated that Mr. Kemp wants
to expand his use for storage and office space but he had indicated that he
would not expand the dry cleaning business. He noted that he also needs
plans for parking and landscaping requirements consistent with the size of the
lots in compliance with "B-1".
Mr. Louis McGaffee, 4402 Wesley, indicated to the Council that the
residents who are opposed to this change of zoning were notified that the case
was going to be heard by the full Council and it was his understanding that
the opponents would be allowed to speak.
City Manager Townsend checked the Minutes of that meeting of May 20,
and ascertained that the hearing had been closed. He stated that if anyone
was allowed to speak again the hearing would have to be reopened and there
was some question as to whether or not all of the property owners within the
area should be notified.
Motion by Turner that the hearing be reopened; seconded by Kennedy;
but the motion failed to pass.
Mr. McGaffee stated that during the hearing of May 20, Mayor Pro Tem
Turner had requested that all of the opponents who wished to speak should be
notified at the time that the full Council was going to be here and it was his
understanding that the reason for the notification was so that they could speak
to the issue before the entire Council.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that since the 20% rule is in effect,
six affirmative votes will be required to pass the ordinance.
Mayor Jones suggested that the same people be notified when the site plan
is ready and that a copy be sent to the interested parties so that they would
be aware of the applicant's plans for his property.

City Secretary Read also pointed out that at the time the ordinance is
being considered, the public can speak before it is passed and stated that
these property owners would be notified at the time the ordinance is placed on
the agenda.

Mayor Jones announced consideration of the following pending zoning
matter:
Padre Space Corporation from "R -1B" to "B-4" on a lot located on the west
side of Clare Drive approximately 375' south of S. Padre Island Drive. A
public hearing was held on May 20, 1981 and it was denied. In lieu
thereof, a special permit was granted for storage units. An acceptable
site plan has been received. The Planning Commission recommends denial.
City Manager Townsend informed the Council that a special permit had
been granted for storage units and acceptable site plan has been received by
the Staff.
Motion by Gulley that the site plan submitted be accepted and the special
permit be approved; seconded by Dumphy; and passed unanimously.

Minutes
Regular Council Meeting
June 10, 1981
Page 22
Mayor Jones called for petitions or information from the audience on
matters not scheduled on the agenda.
Mrs. Maria Gutierrez, Route 1, Robstown, Texas, which is just off
Highway 665 and 661, stated that she has a water problem at this location. She
informed the Council that the Violet Water Supply Company, which has a
contract with the City of Corpus Christi, has just laid water pipes down these
County Roads but the water lines do not extend into the subdivision where she
lives. She questioned why these water lines were not designed to supply water
to this subdivision.
City Manager Townsend agreed that this was an unusual subdivision
called, "Tierra Grande"; the lots were sold, but the plat clearly states
"pending plat" and was signed by Mr. Carl Duaine. Mr. Townsend stated that
the developer of this subdivision should not have sold the lots and implied that
water would be available from the water lines to be laid by Violet Water Supply
Company, because this company is only allowed to serve farm lots and no
subdivisions were to be added to these lines. He stated that the developer of
this subdivision had no authority to convert this land to improvements without
making arrangements for water to be served in the area. He noted, however,
that this area is outside of the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, but he asked
Mr. Bill Hennings, Assistant City Manager, to meet with Mrs. Gutierrez to
discuss the matter. He implied that this appears to be grounds for cutting off
the Violet Water Contract.
Mayor Jones asked for a report on this matter.
Mrs. Gutierrez stated that nearly all of the lots in the subdivision have
already been sold.
City Manager Townsend expressed the opinion that this is almost a criminal
action since water is not available and assured the Council that an analysis of
the problem will be provided the Council even though it is outside the City's
jurisdiction.
*********
Motion by Gulley that the Council convene in closed session under the
authority of Article 6252-17C of V.A.C.S., for the purpose of discussing
personnel matters; seconded by Zarsky; and passed unanimously.
