The property is located at the South End West 2/3-Rds of W/2 of Lot 2Q, Block 2, located north of South Staples Street and South of South Tancahua Street. City Secretary Chapa stated that the Planning Commission and staff recommended the approval of an "AB" Professional Office District. No one spoke in opposition to the zoning change. Mr. Harry Womble spoke in favor of the zoning change. Ms. Cooper made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Scott, and passed. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 11 26. MOTION NO. 026667 Amending the Zoning Ordinance, upon application by Harry Womble, by changing the zoning map in reference to 0.330 acres out of the south end West 2/3 Rds of W/2 of Lot 20, Block 2, from "A-1" Apartment House District to "AB" Professional Office District; amending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan. The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye". Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 27, and a motion was made, seconded, and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: Case No. 0106-07, K C Corpus Partners, L.P.: A change of zoning from a "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District to a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District (provides for limited neighborhood uses) to a Neighborhood Business District (provides for expanded neighborhood uses). The property is at Northwest Estates Addition, Block 10, Lot 1, located at the northeast intersection of Northwest Boulevard and Pinnacle Drive. City Secretary Chapa stated the Planning Commission and staff recommended the approval of the "B-1" Neighborhood Business District along the front portion of the subject property and denial of the "B-1" Neighborhood Business District along the rear 50 feet of the subject property. Mayor Garrett asked for comments from the audience. Mr. Ivan Alvarez, a Northwest Estates resident, spoke in support of the Planning Commission and staff's recommendation to require "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District along the rear 50 feet of the subject property, serving as a buffer for the residential area. He said the neighborhood also opposed any 24- hour restaurant or gas station uses for the property. Mr Kelly stated the developer had agreed to the neighborhood's terms because of the low probability that a restaurant or filling station would be developed on the property. In addition, Mr. Kelly stated that the "B-1A" zoning would require landscaping at rear of the property, and the developer has agreed to use the same materials for the rear and front of the building Mr. Marvin Leary, representing Mr. Steven R. Troy, the property owner, stated that his client was selling the subject property to K.C. Corpus Partners L.P. contingent upon the zoning change. The developer, Ms. Kathy Hogan, met with the neighborhood association last Thursday at 6:00 p.m. The residents, as Mr. Alvarez indicated, were opposed to a fueling station use, and subsequently the buyer and the owner had agreed to include a deed restriction prohibiting fueling station use. The developer was opposed, however, to any restriction on a 24- hour business usage because it was highly unlikely that a fast food chain would open a restaurant on the corner of a residential street, as the residents feared. He acknowledged, however, that a restaurant with late hours operation or a Kinko's could lease space on the property. In conclusion, he said the developer and owner had made reasonable concessions to secure reasonable zoning on the subject property. He asked the Council to consider granting the "B-1" zoning with the "B-1A" buffer at the rear of the property and a restriction on the fueling station usage only. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 12 Assistant Director of Development Services Michael Gunning emphasized that the Planning Commission and staff recommended the "B-1" zoning with a "B-1A" buffer in the rear of the property, but the deed restrictions were negotiated directly between the property owner and the developer. To ensure that the deed restrictions were in place, he said staff would not publish the ordinance until they received documentation that the deed restrictions were filed. Mr. Kelly asked if the city could require that the materials on the rear of the buildings match the materials on the front of the building through a special permit. Mr. Gunning replied that special permits were generally used to identify a specific use, and the Council had a great deal of leeway on what other conditions they want to place on the special permit. He felt comfortable that the developers would honor their commitment to the neighborhood. Mr. Kelly replied he planned to make a motion to amend the ordinance to include a special permit nonetheless, and he asked the developer to comment. Ms. Kathy Hogan, representing the developer, responded that they planned a nice development that would use a stucco-like material and brick on the rear of the building, comparable to the front of the building. ML Kelly made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Ms. Cooper. Mr. Kelly made a motion to amend the ordinance to include a Special Permit requiring that the rear of the building in the "B-1" Neighborhood Business District be constructed of the same materials as the front of the building or by the use of a stucco-like material, seconded by Ms. Cooper, and passed. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 27. ORDINANCE NO. 026668 Amending the Zoning Ordinance, upon application by KC Corpus Partners, L.P., by changing the zoning map in reference to 3.180 acres out of the Northwest Estates Addition, Lot 1, Block 10 from "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District; amending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan. An emergency was declared, and the foregoing ordinance was passed and approved as amended with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye". Mayor Garrett referred to Item 28, and a motion was made, seconded, and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: Case No. 0106-08, Staples Development. LLC: A change of zoning from a "F-R" Farm- Rural District to a "B-4" General Business District on Tract 1 and "F-R" Farm-Rural District to a "R-1C" One-family Dwelling District on Tract 2 resulting from Tract 1- agricultural use to commercial development; Tract 2 - from agricultural use to single family residences on lots with a minimum area of 4,500-square feet. The property is located at Tract 1 being 4.48 acres and Tract 2 being 16.16 acres out of Nueces River Irngation Park Annex No.2, located north of Northwest Boulevard and 225 feet east of Trinity River Drive/FM 1889. City Secretary Chapa stated the Planning Commission and staff recommendation as follows: Tract 1 - Approval of the "B-4" General Business District along the front area of the subject property and denial of the "B-4" General Business District along the rear 50 feet of the property and in lieu thereof, approval of a "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District along the rear 50 feet of the subject property; Tract 2 - Approval of the "R-1C" One-family Dwelling District. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 13 Assistant Director of Development Services Michael Gunning reported that the Planning Commission and staff recommended "B-1A" Neighborhood District zoning at the rear of the subject property to create a buffer zone for the adjacent neighborhood. The Planning Commission and staff recommended "B-4" General Business District zoning for the remainder of the frontage, however, because the subject property was anchored by existing "B-4" zoning on the west and east ends. Mayor Garrett called for public comment. Mr. Ivan Alvarez, Northwest Estates resident, spoke in favor of the "B-1A" buffer zone, but expressed concern about the minimum 4,500 square foot lot size for the proposed subdivision because it could promote cluttered neighborhoods. He pointed out that the lot sizes in his subdivision ranged from 7,000 to 9,000 square feet. He requested that the Council consider making the minimum lot size to 6,500 square foot lots. Mr. Kelly stated that the proposed subdivision was a fairly dense compaction of residential uses. He said they were anticipating 530 trips per day. Looking at the proposed plat, the cars were going to have to go out existing neighborhoods like Northwest Estates. In addition, he noted that the area had a drainage problem, so with this type of compaction of residential uses, it was going to significantly overburden downstream drainage. Mr. Kelly noted that the applicant was requesting 'R-1C" zoning. He asked what the minimum lot size was for "R-1B" zoning. Mr. Gunning replied the minimum lot size for "R-1C" zoning was 6,000 square feet. He pointed out, however, that the preliminary layout for subdivision indicated that most of the lots were greater than 6,000 square feet. Since the remaining lots were below 6,000 square feet, the applicant had applied for "R-1C" zoning. Mr. Kelly asked how many of the lots were below 6,000 square feet. Mr. Gunning replied he did not have the lot count, but stated that the applicant or his representative could respond. Unfortunately, neither the applicant nor a representative was present. Mr. Gunning suggested that the Council could table the item to allow staff to obtain the information. Mr Kelly stated that he concurred with the "B-4" zoning on the frontage and the "B-1A" zoning on the rear portion of the subject property. But considering the current drainage problems and traffic congestion that would be created for the adjacent neighborhoods, he was In favor of "R-1 B" zoning for the residential unless the applicant could convince him otherwise. Since the applicant was not present, Mr. Kelly made a motion to table the item until March 21, 2006 to allow the applicant to respond to his concerns, seconded by Mr. Garcia, and passed. 28. TABLED UNTIL MARCH 21,2006 Amending the Zoning Ordinance, upon application by Staples Development, LLC, by changing the zoning map in reference to 3.680 acres out of the Nueces River Irrigation Park !\nnex No.2, from "F R" Farm Rural to "B 1" General Business District '.\lith a 0.801 acre 50 foot "B 1A" 8uffer to the rear on Tract 1 and 16.16 acres from "F R" Farm Rural to "R 1 C" One family Dwelling District on Tract 2; amending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Garrett referred to Item 29, and a motion was made, seconded, and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: Case No. 0106-09, Mever-Lamph Development Group, Ltd.: A change of zoning from a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to a "B-4" General Business District resulting from a Neighborhood Business District (provides for expanded neighborhood uses) to a Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28,2006 - Page 14 commercial development. The property is in Coastal Bend Subdivision, Block 2, Lot 7, located north of Northwest Boulevard and 575 feet east of County Road 69. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended the denial of the "B-4" General Business District and in lieu thereof, approval of a Special Permit subject to a site plan and two (2) conditions. No one spoke in opposition to the zoning change. Mr. Kelly made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Ms. Cooper, and passed. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 29. ORDINANCE NO. 026669 Amending the Zoning Ordinance, upon application by Meyer-Lamph Development Group, LTD., by changing the zoning map in reference to Coastal Bend Subdivision, Lot 7, Block 2, located north of Northwest Boulevard and 575 feet east of County Road 69 (currently zoned "B-1" Neighborhood Business District) by granting a Special Permit for a 7,000-square foot auto parts sales structure, subject to a site plan and two (2) conditions; amending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan. An emergency was declared, and the foregoing ordinance was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye". * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 30, an appeal by Mr. Ismael Garcia of a Building Standards Board decision to demolish a structure on his property at 4314 Spring Creek. Director of Neighborhood Services Yvonne Haag introduced the staff members who would be participating in the appeal as follows: Elizabeth Hundley, Assistant City Attorney; Teena Houston, Building Official for the Building Standards Board; Robert Quiroz, acting Code and Zoning Administrator; and Assistant City Manager Margie Rose. Ms. Haag reported that the Building Standards Board considered Mr. Garcia's case at their December 15, 2005 meeting. The Board decided to order demolition of the structure, including the driveway, foundation, and all underground utilities, for failure to meet minimum building standards. Under Section 13-28 of the Code of Ordinances, Ms. Haag said Mr. Garcia had the right to ask the Council for an appeal. Assistant City Attorney Hundley described the legal aspects of the hearing. She said in hearing this appeal, the Council was acting in a quasi-judicial capacity; therefore, they must determine what the facts are and whether or not the structure should be demolished. She said the Council may consider the following actions: (1) deny the appeal (upholding the Building Standard Board's decision); or (2) sustain the appeal (reversing the Board's decision); or (3) deny the appeal in part and sustain in part (upholding some provisions of the Board's decision and modifying other provisions, in whole or part). Ms. Hundley stated that any decision made by the Council to modify an order of the Building Standards Board shall specify the following: (1) in what manner such modification is Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28,2006 - Page 15 made; (2) the conditions upon which it is made (including any time requirements); and the reasons therefore. Ms. Haag briefly reviewed a chronology of events in the case, spanning from fire damage the structure sustained in February 2, 2002 to the Building Standards Board decision to demolish the structure on December 15, 2005. Ms. Haag noted that staff had tried to work with the property owners numerous times to bring the home into compliance. Mr. Garcia filed a request for appeal in the City Secretary's Office on January 9, 2006. Ms. Haag displayed a number of photographs of the residence taken before the Building Standards Board hearing. The photos showed heavy fire and smoke damage to the northwest area of the home. Attorney Hal George, 5350 S. Staples, representing Mr. Garcia, asked the Council to allow his client to rebuild the house rather than tear it down. He presented documentation estimating that the repairs would cost $157,000. His client believed that upon completion of the repairs, the house would be worth $300,000. By repairing the home, Mr. George argued that the home would be on the tax rolls and would be an asset to the community. If the Council ordered the demolition, then the neighborhood and the community would suffer while the vacant lot sat there awaiting a buyer. Mr. George stated that his client believed the repairs could be completed in five months from the beginning date of construction. Mr George also provided a copy of a report by Mr. Arnold Moreno, a certified engineer, Indicating that the home had sustained less than 10 percent structural damage. He noted that city staff had filed conflicting reports on the amount of structural damage, with Neighborhood Services stating that the structural damage was 50 percent, while the Development Services reported the structural damage was less than 20 percent. In addition, Mr. George provided two pre-loan commitment letters Mr. Garcia had received from a mortgage company for $197,000 and $200,000. The final document was from the builder, Mr. Michael Shokrian with Barfield & Associates, estimating that the repairs would cost approximately $157,000. Mr. George then explained why Mr. Garcia had delayed addressing the condition of the home until now. He said there was a fire in the residence, and his client filed a claim under his homeowner's policy and the claim was rejected. Mr. Garcia had to file a lawsuit against the Insurance company, and the case was settled in April 2005. In the meantime, Mr. Garcia and his wife went through a divorce. Mr. Garcia had deeded the property to his ex-wife, who Indicated that she had a buyer for the home. Unfortunately, the sale fell through for some reason and the property was transferred back to Mr. Garcia. Mr. George described Mr. Garcia's plan and timeline for the home repairs, pointing out that the plan was developed with feedback from the neighborhood. He said the contractor would first address the aesthetics of the home's exterior. He asked the Council to allow Mr. Garcia to rebuild with a set schedule. He said the mortgage company needed three weeks to process the loan documents. Then, his client would present the final plans for the repairs to the architectural control committee of the Wood River Homeowners Association. Mr. George asked the Council to allow 30 days for the committee to review and approve the plan. Mr. Mike Garcia, the contractor, stated he needed a month from today to begin the project. In conclusion, Mr. George stated that the Council could require weekly inspections of the construction site to ensure that they were meeting the planned schedule. If the contractor was not adhering to the schedule, then the city could order demolition. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28,2006 - Page 16 Mr. Kelly stated that Mr. George and his client had spoken with the neighborhood and with the homeowners association. He asked if Mr. George was saying that the homeowners association was in support of the proposed plan. Mr. George replied he did not believe the homeowners association would oppose the plan, but stated that Attorney Michael George, representing the homeowners association, was in the audience and could answer that question. Mr Kelly stated the home had been a nuisance to the neighborhood for the past four years. The city and the homeowners association had repeatedly contacted Mr. Garcia about the home throughout that time with little result. Mr. Kelly acknowledged that Mr. Garcia had been dealing with personal issues during this time, but said he could have avoided this entire proceeding if he had simply addressed the situation months ago. Mr. George replied that he could not change the past, but Mr. Garcia was sincerely interested in rebuilding the home. He said the neighborhood would be better off if they allowed reconstruction rather than demolition because it would address the problem sooner. Mr. Kelly noted that staff and the Building Standards Board differed on the extent of the demolition order. The Building Standards Board recommended the demolition of the home, the foundation, and the driveway; staff recommended the demolition of the home only. Director of Neighborhood Services Yvonne Haag replied city staff's practice was to exclude foundation and driveway removal from demolition orders because of the cost. Mr. Scott remarked that the city had spent a phenomenal amount of time and energy in dealing with this case, and he felt the property owner should reimburse the city and the taxpayers for the costs. If the Council decided to allow the property owner to rebuild, he felt the city should obtain a performance bond or other form of guarantee that the work would be completed. Mr. Noyola asked staff how much structural damage the home had sustained, 20 or 50 percent. Ms. Teena Houston, city property advisor, replied that the code official who had inspected the site determined that home had sustained 50 percent structural damage from the fire. Mr. Noyola asked questions about the Mr. Garcia's timeline for the construction and the mortgage He said Mr. Garcia told him he could complete the work in four months rather than five months because the neighborhood had suffered enough. Mi. Michael Shokrian, the builder, stated the work could be completed in four months with a huge effort. Mr. Noyola stated that if the repairs were not completed in four months, then he was in favor of ordering demolition. Mr. Shokrian and Mr. Garcia stated that they believed the work could be completed in four months, and the aesthetic improvements could be addressed in a very short time. In response to Council Member Garcia's question, Ms. Haag stated that Neighborhood Services' staff determined that the structural damage to the home was 50 percent, while an Inspection initiated by Mr Garcia but completed by Development Services determined the structural damage was 20 percent. Council Member Garcia questioned Mr. Shokrian about the construction estimate. Mr. Shokrian stated that the exterior repairs, including landscaping, would cost approximately $20,000. Council Member Garcia expressed concern that Mr. Garcia had not addressed the problems with the structure three years ago. Since the structure had been exposed to the elements for an extended period, Mr. Garcia felt the total removal of the interior of the unit was warranted. The construction should begin from the basic frame structure, in his opinion, but the many of the framing members, the ceiling joists, and the roof decking had probably been compromised. While he had not physically inspected the structure, Council Member Garcia stated that upon visual inspection, it wouldn't be possible to use existing rafters and joists in the construction because it was structurally unsound. He asked staff if they agreed with his Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 17 statement. Ms. Houston replied affirmatively, saying that many framing members were burned In the fire. Mr Shokrian replied that when city staff inspected the unit, the sheetrock was still in place in most areas; thus, he was uncertain how they determined the extent of damage to the framing members. He said the fire damage was contained to a small area, but the smoke damage was more extensive. He did not intend to take shortcuts by using any burned joists or framing members; rather, he intended to replace all the damaged components. Mr. George added that Mr. Moreno's inspection of the unit indicated that the fire damage was limited to a 50-square foot area, but the water and smoke damage was more extensive. Council Member Garcia stated that it was the builder's responsibility to provide a realistic estimate. Mr. Shokrian replied the cost for repairing the unit was roughly half the value of the completed home. He said the house had to be completely stripped of sheetrock, re-wired, and re-plumbed, and ten percent of the framing structure needed to be replaced. Council Member Garcia stated that based on Mr. Garcia's history, it was difficult to believe that things would be different starting today. He said there was no excuse for his derelict behavior regarding the condition of his home. Mr Chesney asked staff to routinely provide estimates on the costs to the city and the taxpayers In cases like these so the city could seek reimbursement from the property owner. He also stated that if the Council sustained the appeal, then he would insist that a performance bond be issued before approving the work. He asked staff what they considered a reasonable timeline to finish the repairs. Ms. Houston replied that five months was a reasonable timeline if the Council granted Mr. Garcia's request, but staff still upheld their recommendation for demolition Mr. Chesney asked how much Mr. Garcia received in insurance money and how it was used. Mr. Garcia replied he used the proceeds to payoff the house note, approximately $160,000 to $170,000. Mr. Chesney stated that he would like an opportunity to hear from the homeowners association on the issue. While he was reluctant to grant Mr. Garcia's request, he acknowledgeJ that demolishing the property would delay any reconstruction effort. Mr. Kelly asked Mr. Garcia how long he had had the ability to borrow $200,000. Mr. George replied Mr. Garcia's son in El Paso, IX, an engineer, arranged the financing through a personal friend. He said after the sale of the home fell through last year, Mr. Garcia turned to his son for help. Mr. Kelly took exception to Mr. Garcia's delayed action to address the situation, only until the city ordered demolition. He noted that the estimate for the exterior repairs was only $20,000, yet Mr. Garcia had not obtained a loan in this amount for over four years, Mr. Kelly stated that the homeowners in the Wood River subdivision felt that Mr. Garcia's property reflected poorly on the neighborhood's property values, especially since it was a high- profile home. He said the neighbors had waited four years for Mr. Garcia to take action, yet for as little as $20,000, he chose not to do it. Mr. Kelly understood that the neighbors were tired of waiting. Mr. George responded that Mr. Garcia had experienced a number of personal issues that caused the delay and had taken an emotional toll. If Mr. Garcia had hired him at the beginning, Mr. George felt that the issue would have been resolved long ago. Mr. Garcia added that his inaction was due to a miscommunication between him and his ex-wife. Mr. George stated that he was placing his credibility on the line by vouching for Mr. Garcia's sincerity. Although he was sympathetic to Mr. Garcia's plight, Mr. Kelly replied that he could not approve his request unless the neighborhood was in favor of it. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 18 Mr. Marez stated that Mr. Garcia's blatant inaction regarding the condition of his home was cause for concern. Before he made a final decision, he wished to hear from the neighborhood association Mayor Garrett called for comment from any interested parties with information relevant to the appeal. Mr. John Pierce, who lived next door to the subject property, stated that the neighborhood had endured the poor condition of the structure for two and a half years. He said the neighborhood was skeptical that giving Mr. Garcia more time would accomplish anything. On the other hand, if the Council were to deny the appeal and order demolition, he was concerned that Mr. Garcia would take legal action, leading to further delays. Thus, Mr. Pierce said the neighborhood was in favor of whatever action would address the problem most expediently, be it demolition or reconstruction. He provided a petition signed by 90 residents requesting that Mr. Garcia either demolish or repair the house without delay. If the city decided not to demolish the property, then they requested that the city hold periodic inspections to ensure that the construction was progressing appropriately with interim deadlines. They also requested that the exterior of the property be made presentable first, including repairing the front door and replacing broken windows Mr. Kelly asked if Mr. Pierce had a position on the removal of the foundation and driveway. Mr. Pierce replied that the front of the home featured a large cement stairway that would be an eyesore if it remained. The neighborhood felt the lot would be more sellable if the driveway was removed. Mr. Garcia stated that it was much less expensive to work with the existing foundation and in general they were easy to work with. Mr Rick Melby, 4310 Spring Creek, said he had lived next door to the subject property since 1996. He reported that Mr. Garcia had never lived in the home during this time; rather, his ex-wife resided in the home sporadically. Mr. Melby stated that the insurance claim was tied up in litigation because of suspicion of arson; he said three separate fires had been set in the home, and his ex-wife was the prime suspect. While she was not convicted of any crime, Mr. Melby said she was the worst neighbor he had ever lived near. Since Mr. Garcia had entered the picture, Mr. Melby said he had tried to make amends to the neighbors. As a former fire specialist, he esiimated that the home had approximately 30 percent structural damage, primarily in the master bedroom and covered porch. At a homeowners association meeting held on February 20, he said a comment was made that if the city denied their appeal, Mr. Garcia would sue. Consequently, Mr. Melby said the residents preferred that the home be reconstructed rather than demolished. He agreed that the foundation should be removed because of the cement staircase in front of it because it could deter buyers. In addition, he asked that the city prescribe strict timelines on the progress. He asked that the city include a provision stating that if Mr. Garcia did not meet the time limits, then the structure would be demolished with no other legal recourse. Under these conditions, Mr. Melby said he could support Mr Garcia's request. Ms. DeAnn Pierce spoke in support of removing the cement staircase if the home was demolished and preserving the existing foundation if possible. Attorney Michael George, representing the Wood River Homeowners Association, stated that the association chose to allow Mr. Garcia additional time regarding the litigation for the property. He said Mr. Garcia was much more cooperative than his former spouse, and was sincere in his attempt to address the situation. He said the association's architectural committee was scheduled to meet on March 20, and Mr. Garcia could submit his plans at that time for review and approval. He understood Mr. Garcia planned to rebuild the home as it originally was, which would expedite the process. Mr. George recommended that the Council Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 19 sustain the appeal in part by postponing the demolition, and deny the appeal in part by abating the demolition by requiring Mr. Garcia to reimburse city costs and require a performance bond. In addition, he recommended that the city periodically inspect the construction and report to the homeowners association regarding the progress. Mayor Garrett asked for a brief recess to allow city staff and Mr. Garcia to meet and discuss the terms of the agreement. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Garrett presented proclamations and conducted a swearing-in ceremony. * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Council returned from recess. Mayor Garrett called for petitions from the audience. Mr. Johnny French, 4417 Carlton, spoke regarding his interpretation of a portion of Texas Beach Protection Code dealing with the closure of beaches on North Padre Island. He asked the City to either consult with the senators sponsoring the act or with the Texas Attorney General's Office regarding the exemption. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Garrett referred to Item 35, and announced that the City Council would go into executive session under Texas Government Code Section 555.071 to consult with its attorney to seek legal advice on legal matters relating to granting a permit to Sabco Operating Company, with possible discussion and action related thereto in open session. * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Council returned from executive session. Mayor Garrett allowed Ms. Dorothy Davis, Hillcrest resident, to speak regarding Item 34, the location of the new wastewater treatment plant. Ms. Davis spoke against locating the plant at the CITGO site because of its proximity to the Hillcrest area. Mayor Garrett referred to Item 35, and the following motion was passed with the following vote: 35. MOTION NO. 2006-072 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to grant a permit to Sabco Operating Company of Houston, Texas to drill an oil or gas well at an exceptional location, approximately seven (7) miles easterly of the marina area in Corpus Christi Bay. State Tract 49 Well No 6. The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye". * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Garrett referred to Item 31, a presentation on the current water supply status and the Garwood Pipeline. Assistant City Manager Ron Massey began with the current water supply status. He presented a chart depicting the city's water supply and demand projections between 2000 and 2060. The projections estimated the availability of water using a safe yield Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 20 projection, leaving six months supply in the reservoir, and a firm yield, which would pump all the water that could be drawn out of the reservoir. Staff estimated the future demand projections based on Census 2000 data; he said the next census update would be available in 2005. Additionally, he said staff used two models to predict the high and low ranges of future demand, a linear regression and a growth-rate projection. Mr. Massey then displayed a chart illustrating the actual water demand between 2000 and 2005, noting that the actual demand was less than the projected demand. He stated the decrease in overall demand could be attributed to wet weather and the loss of a large commercial customer. Currently, Mr. Massey said the city was experiencing a dry period, so the demand should begin increasing to 2000 levels. Mr. Massey presented a slide depicting the water supply and demand projections from 2000 to 2060 including available water from the Garwood Pipeline, which was anticipated to come online in 2020. Under the worst case scenario, he said the city's water needs under a firm yield calculation would be met until approximately 2050. Mr Massey reviewed a chart listing the city's potential water strategies, and the projected yield and unit costs for each alternative. The list included the Padre Island Aquifer Storage and Recovery project, the Governor's desalination initiatives, and the Garwood Pipeline. To update the Council of the Garwood Pipeline project status, Mr. Massey introduced Mr. Stefan Schuster with Freese & Nichols to make the report. Mr. Schuster provided a brief overall project approach. He said Phase 1, a screening study of delivery options, and Phase 2, a detailed study of delivery options, had been completed. Phases 2A, permitting, and Phase 2B, partnership agreements, were in progress, and he said he would report on them today. Mr. Schuster said the project approach in Phase 2 (A and B) was as follows: detailed study of options; water rights and permit review; meetings with participants and regulators; loss studies; operational analysis; regional planning update; and continuing to the next phase. Mr Schuster stat~d that the recommended options for detailed study in Phase 2 are as follows: Option 1 (combined facilities with LCRA/SAWS); Option 5 (Garwood System to West Mustang Creek and Lake Texana); and Option 6 (Gulf Coast System and Pipeline to Mary Rhodes Pipeline). Mr Schuster provided a progress report on Option 1, combined facilities with LCRNSAWS. He described the objectives of the study. He said SAWS and LCRA continued to support the project and wished to see it move forward. All the technical studies to determine the siting and location of the diversion facilities for the SAWS project would be completed by 2010. SAWS and LCRA indicated that project construction would not begin after 2020. The team recommended that if the Council were to choose Option 1, a firm agreement with LCRA should be developed. Regarding Option 5, Garwood System to West Mustang Creek and Lake Texana, Mr. Schuster said the objectives were as follows: coordinate the operation of and possible upgrade to the existing Garwood Pump Station and canal system; determine the requirements for revising the water right to allow diversion into West Mustang Creek and Lake Texana; determine permitting requirements; determine potential delivery of the system; and coordinate reservoir operations and contracting arrangements with LNRA. Mr. Schuster stated that Option 5 appeared to be the most affordable solution at $5 million. If the city chose this option, he said they would need to negotiate a Bed and Banks permit and a Water Rights permit revision, and Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 21 to resolve a number of environmental permitting issues. Option 5, while the most affordable and most immediate option, still allowed for the flexibility to chose the other two options in the future if desired. Mr. Schuster discussed Option 6, the Gulf Coast System and Pipeline to Mary Rhodes Pipeline. The study objectives were as follows: coordinate operation and possible upgrade to Gulf Coast Pump Station and Canal System; determine requirements for revising water right to allow diversion in canal system; determine potential delivery of the system; determine location of pump station at the diversion from the Gulf Coast Canal; perform a preliminary pipeline route study; and determine permitting requirements. Mr. Schuster noted that Option 6 had a higher construction cost of $52 million, a pump station was needed at the end of the Furbor Canal, competition with the LSWSP siting was possible, and water availability was unknown at this time because of LSWSP. I n conclusion, Mr. Schuster stated that the team was recommending that the city pursue Option 5 because it was the most immediate delivery option available at the lowest cost. He said permitting issues have been identified and coordinated, and the delivery could be accomplished without irrigation season interference. Options 1 and 6 required coordination with LSWP results and findings of technical studies. He said continued coordination was needed for permitting and infrastructure needs. He also emphasized that the water right was protected under all scenarios. Mr. Schuster stated the next step was to begin negotiating permitting and agreements, and finalizing any partnership agreements with SAWS, LCRA, and LNRA. Mr. Scott noted that the city did not have to coordinate with SAWS to engage in Option 5. He asked if staff had discussed the feasibility of the project with SAWS. Mr. Massey replied City Manager Noe would be setting up a meeting with SAWS, which had recently undergone a leadership change, to make a case for running a pipeline to Lake Texana. City Manager Noe added that while having SAWS on board with the project would be beneficial, the LCRA was actually going to drive the alignment of the pipeline in their area, and the city was already in contact with their principal agent. Mr. Scott asked for more information on the timelines for the project. Mr. Massey replied that if the city decided to pur~ue Option 5, for example, staff would bring the Councii a contract for additional work with the Freese & Nichols team to begin negotiations on permitting and water rights amendments. He said if the city wished to move forward with the Garwood water project, then staff was recommending Option 5. Mr. Scott stated that he felt it was important to move forward with the project soon to protect the city's water rights. Mr. Massey agreed, but pointed out that the Council could postpone their decision to consider the other water option and their relationship to each other. He emphasized that every water supply option the city pursued came with a cost, so the Council needed to consider them all and then choose the ones that made the most sense. Mr. Scott asked for details on how the $5 million cost for Option 5 would be used. Mr. Massey replied the $5 million would cover the construction costs for a diversion facility to move the water down the creek. Mr. Massey discussed the other water supply initiatives the city was considering as follows: the Padre Island groundwater desalination and Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR); the Corps of Engineers (CaE) Nueces River Basin feasibility studies; and Seawater Desalination (Governor's Initiative). Regarding the Padre Island initiatives, he said the city moved forward to authorize the ASR district and staff was negotiating land acquisition agreements with adjacent landowners. Mr. Massey said the Corps of Engineers Nueces River Feasibility Study was being sponsored by the CaE, SAWS, SARA, GBRA, NRA and the City of Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 22 Corpus Christi. Year 2 of the study was being funded by Congress, and the city's share of the funding was $182,800. Finally, he said Phase I of the Governor's seawater desalination initiative was completed in 2004. The state legislature approved approximately $2.5 million for Phase II funding this year, and cities can submit Phase II applications in March 2006 to the Texas Water Development Board. He said the city was not sure whether they would apply for funding because the Board was requesting a set timeline for the project. o Finally, Mr. Massey discussed a number of other supply opportunities as follows: to Investigate groundwater sources with SPMWD; and to pursue additional Texana firm water. Mr. Don Roach with the San Patricio Municipal Water District discussed their interest in partnering with the city on a water supply project using groundwater * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 32 regarding the city's cost share agreement with the Corps of Engineers for Phase IIA of the Nueces River Basin Feasibility Study, as Mr. Massey discussed in the previous presentation item. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 32. MOTION NO. 2006-066 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to continue participation in the Nueces River Basin Feasibility Cost Share Agreement with the United States Army Corps of Engineers Fort Worth and Non Federal Co-Sponsors, and authorizing payment of $39,082 for the Phase itA (Existing Conditions, Alternative Formulation and Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement or Plan Formulation). The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye". Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 33 regarding the Southside Water Transmission Main Project, Phase 5. City Engineer Angel Escobar reported that Phast::l 5 was comprised of four portions: construction contract; welding inspection; cathodic detection; and the testing of backfill and bedding. He said staff recommended approval of the contract, despite coming in above the consultant's estimate, because it was still within the project budget. The contract would construct 5.4 miles of 42-inch water line along Yorktown Boulevard from Rodd Field Road to the Laguna Madre to the Island. Mr. Scott asked if staff had resolved a Flour Bluff constituent's concern regarding the destruction of a number of trees. Mr. Escobar replied staff was still working with her. He said the city needed to acquire three more parcels of land, hopefully within the next 45 days. There were no comments from the public. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 23 33.a. MOTION NO. 2006-067 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a construction contract with S. J. Louis Construction, Ltd., of San Antonio, Texas in the amount of $8,476,046 for the Southside Water Transmission Main - Phase 5.

The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye". Mr. Scott asked if the pipeline was being placed beside Whiteley Drive, a dead end street. Mr. Escobar answered affirmatively. Mr. Scott stated the Whiteley Drive residents had complained for several years about the insufficient turning radius for traffic at the end of the street. He asked if the pipeline construction might present an opportunity to widen Whiteley Drive by 15 feet. Mr. Escobar replied he would look into it. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 34 regarding the relocation of the Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant. City Manager Noe stated today's item was a follow-up to the Council's directive on January 31, charging staff to further investigate the feasibility of Sites 3 (Citgo) and 4 (Flint Hills) for the new plant. City Engineer Escobar reported that staff met with Citgo, Flint Hills, and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority to discuss the issue. As a result of the Citgo discussions. staff would be presenting a new site layout, Site 3A. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 24 Mr Escobar briefly referred to a timeline outlining the city's actions on the Broadway Treatment Plant relocation. He highlighted the June 2005 closed session that resulted in staffs meetings with Hillcrest area residents between August and October 2005. The citizens presented a signature petition against locating the new plant near their neighborhood. Staff consequently reviewed additional sites, including previously evaluated sites. According to the Council directive issued on January 31, 2006, Mr. Escobar stated that the Council directed staff to negotiate with Flint Hills and Citgo and any ancillary entities regarding the location of a new Wastewater Treatment Plant on Site 3 or Site 4, and report back in 30 days Staff was to eliminate as many variables as possible. Mr. Escobar displayed an aerial photograph of Site 3, the Citgo Port terminal, an irregularly shaped site. He said staff was considering leasing property from the Port of Corpus Christi and acquiring property to mitigate the wetlands area located near the site. Mr Escobar displayed an aerial photograph of Site 4, the Flint Hills Resources tank farm, bordered by the Union Pacific railroad tracks, and the ship channel. He said the track was more rectangular, and the outfall ended into the Salt Flats ditch. In the plans, he said all the treatment units were moved to the rear end of the property, creating the maximum distance of 660 feet from the closet residential unit. Mr. Escobar introduced Mr. Govind Nadkarni with MEI Govind to provide the cost updates on Sites 3 and 4. Mr. Nadkarni pointed out that both cost estimates had increased due in part to higher steel costs. Both sites experienced linear cost increases of 11.5 to 11.7 percent, but 0 & M costs remained relatively stable. The estimated cost for Site 3 increased from $43,783,280 to $49,027,080, and from $41,173,150 to $45,874,750 for Site 4. In a cost comparison with a 20-year life cycle, the Site 3 total cost increased from $76,444,280 to $83,680,080, and the Site 4 total cost increased from $73,072,150 to $79,559,750. Mr Nadkarni provided a list of the meeting dates in which staff met with Citgo, the Port of Corpus Christi, and Flint Hills staff. Staff's renewed meetings with Citgo identified a new alternative Citgo site, called Site 3A, because of operational changes allowing for the relocation of an $80,000 tank which improved the configuration of the site. He noted, however, that the new configuration did not surpass the Flint Hills site. Mr. Escobar added that because of the new configuration, the city no longer needed to lease 1.19 acres of land from the Port of Corpus Christi shown in the Site 3 plan. The city would nevertheless still to negotiate with the Port of Corpus Christi for exchange of the property on the eastside of the Salt Flats ditch. Mr. Nadkarni reported that staff prepared new estimates comparing Site 3, 3A, and 4. The cost estimates were as follows: Site 3 (Citgo) - $49,027,080; Site 3A (Citgo)- $48,407,080; and Site 4 (Flint Hills) - $45,874,750. In a cost comparison with a 20-year life cycle, the estimated costs were as follows: Site 3 - $83,680,080; Site 3A - $82,824,080; and Site 4 _ $79,559,750. Mr. Nadkarni reviewed the construction timelines for each site. Site 3 was estimated for completion in November 2011, Site 3A in December 2010, and Site 4 in March 2010. He emphasized that Site 3A would take nine months longer to construct than Site 4 because a new tank would have to be constructed and relocated. Mr. Nadkarni presented a site selection matrix rating each site on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being "most desirable". The cumulative scores based on 14 criteria were as follows: Site 3 - 43 points; Site 3A - 50 points; and Site 4 - 54 points. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 25 Mayor Garrett asked if Site 3A's new configuration eliminated the need for wetlands mitigation. Mr. Escobar replied negatively, saying the wetlands mitigation was not eliminated but was postponed to a future expansion phase. Mr Nadkarni discussed the benefits of the Flint Hills site. First, he said it was the largest site that could be acquired in the shortest amount of time. Second, the site preparation was superior because it allowed for future expansion and had the best geometric configuration. Third, the site met the 150-foot buffer from the nearest treatment unit along the site's south property line required by the TCEQ. Fourth, the nearest residential lot was over 500 feet from the treatment units. Fifth, the Flint Hills site construction could be completed more quickly than the other sites. Finally, he said the site provided the least overall costs for capital and 0 & M 20-year life cycle expenditures. Staff was therefore recommending that the city proceed with the purchase of the Flint Hills Tank Farm site (Site 4) for the new wastewater treatment plant. To move forward with the plan, staff needed to begin assembling a team to help with negotiations to purchase the property and to address issues specific to the land purchase. Mr. Escobar thanked Citgo for their cooperation in updating the cost estimates and for their assistance in addressing the wetlands mitigation. Mr. Escobar briefly mentioned a number of issues yet to be resolved for the Flint Hills site. The environmental clean-up and/or closure of the site had not been discussed. Additionally, he said property access issues to be addressed included the acquisition of an easement through Union Pacific Railroad property and an access easement through the property adjacent to North Port Avenue. Mr. Kelly asked for the distance between Site 3A and the nearest residence. Mr. Escobar replied the distance between the closest treatment unit and the nearest residential home was 1,125 linear feet. The distance between Site 3's nearest treatment unit to a residential unit was 1,350 linear feet. Mr. Kelly pointed out that either Citgo site would double the distance between the treatment units and the Hillcrest neighborhood. Mr. Escobar replied affirmatively, saying that the Flint Hills site was 650 feet from the nearest residence. In response to Ms. Cooper's question, Mr. Escobar replied staff very strongly recommended the Flint Hills site, even when iaking Site 3A into consideration. Mr Chesney thanked staff for their efforts in updating the information and ultimately discovering a new alternative, Site 3A. He had hoped, however, that the cost difference between Site 3A and Site 4, would be closer, but it had actually remained $3 million. If the Council chose Site 4, he asked if the city could invest a portion of the savings to minimize the plant's impact on the Hillcrest neighborhood, with landscaping and buffering improvements. City Manager Noe replied affirmatively, saying that regardless of which site was chosen, the city would make every effort to minimize the impact of the plant on the neighborhood. Mr. Scott stated that he had driven by the proposed Flint Hills site recently, and he thought that landscaping and other buffer improvements on and offsite could potentially benefit the neighborhood. Mayor Garrett asked if the odor control at the new plant would be comparable to the Whitecap Plant. Mr. Escobar answered that the Whitecap Plant enclosed the front-end headworks of the plant, where the majority of the odor was produced, to prevent any odors from escaping outside. Mayor Garrett asked for public comment. The following individuals spoke against locating the new plant at the Flint Hills site (Site 4) because of its proximity to the Hillcrest area: Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 26 Lamont Taylor, 1701 Stillman; Jerome Bradford; Otis Moseley, 1519 Peabody; Henry Williams, Hillcrest Residents Association president; Abel Alonzo; Daniel Pena (Powerpoint presentation); Andrew DuArte, 1203 Van Loan Ave.; Kelly Archdine; and Gloria Metcalf. Mr. Williams, Mr. Pena, and Mr. DuArte asked the Council to consider placing the new plant on Site 12, the existing Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant site. A discussion ensued because the Council had directed staff to focus only on Sites 3 and 4, so there were no updated figures on Site 12. Mr. Marvin Leary stated that if the Council chose to locate the plant at the Flint Hills site, then the city should make an effort to help the Hillcrest area, making it productive again. Mr. Noyola spoke in favor of Site 3A, the Citgo site, despite the higher cost, because he felt it would be in the best interest of the Hillcrest neighborhood, which had suffered numerous economic setbacks. He said landscaping and other cosmetic improvements would not improve the quality of life for the residents, which was already marginal. He asked the Council not to force the residents out of their homes by locating the new plant at the Flint Hills site. Ms. Cooper stated that while she respected the Hillcrest residents immensely, she could not overlook that the current Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant was in dire need of replacement. She was therefore in favor of staff's recommendation for the Flint Hills site based on time and cost considerations. With the new odor control technology, the new wastewater plant would not intrude on their lives as was typically the case. She also spoke in favor of the landscaping improvements that Council Members Scott and Chesney had mentioned. Mr Kelly stated that while the city as a whole benefited economically from the Port and the refineries, the Hillcrest area disproportionately bore the burden of living next to these industries The residents preferred that the plant be located on the north side of the channel, but we were willing to compromise by accepting a site on their side of the channel as long as it was further removed from them. He felt, therefore, that the city should be sensitive to their needs by moving the new wastewater treatment plant farther from their area, as they requested. Mr. Kelly made a motion to direct staff to begin negotiations to relocate the Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant to Site 3A (Citgo), seconded by Mr. Noyola. The motion failed with the following vote: Kelly, Marez, and Noyola, voting "Aye"; Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kinnison, and Scott, voting "No". Mr Marez spoke in favor of locating the new wastewater plant in Site 3A (Citgo) rather than the Flint Hills site. He felt the stigma of locating a wastewater treatment plant in the Hillcrest area could kill the neighborhood. The city had heeded the requests of other neighborhood associations opposed to zoning and other issues, and he asked the Council to heed the Hillcrest Resident Association's request. As good as the current technology was, he felt the responsible action was to locate the plant at the Citgo site, despite the cost difference. He asked the Council to reconsider their motion. Mr. Scott strongly disagreed with Mr. Marez's comments. Mr. Scott asked if the Council should include provisions for landscaping on and off site if the Flint Hills site was selected. City Manager Noe replied the Council could emphasize the landscaping requirement in their motion today. The Council would soon review the project budget, and staff would include landscaping in the design and funding. He said the neighborhood would be included in the dialogue regarding improvements. Mr. Garcia thanked staff and the residents for airing their views today. While Site 3A was an improvement over Site 3, Mr. Garcia could not see how an additional 600 linear feet could be worth $3 million. In his opinion, odor problems, if any, would not be detectable from 600 feet away. He told the residents that the city did not take these decisions lightly. Working Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 27 with the city manager, Mr. Garcia said the city was willing to make efforts to help the neighborhood. Mr. Kelly stated that if the Council chose the Flint Hills site, he wished to emphasize that the city had to make every effort to minimize the negative impact to the community. He wished to see a number of projects to offset any negative effect on their property values. Mr Noyola stated that he would continue to support the Hillcrest area. He pointed out how economically disadvantaged the area was and how few options the residents had. He wished the Council would heed the residents' request for help, but acknowledged that he could only cast one vote. Mr Chesney took exception to the personal comments being made in this discussion. He pointed out that the Council did not always side with the neighborhood associations, such as during the skate park issue affecting the Del Mar neighborhood. As an at-large Council member, he represented the city as a whole, and had to make decisions that benefited the entire community. He pointed out that he had asked staff to postpone action for 30 days hoping that staff could find a viable alternative to the Flint Hills site. Ultimately, he said the logical decision was to place the plant at the Flint Hills site based on the facts, not emotions. He again spoke in favor of landscaping and other amenities around the plant for the neighborhood. Mr. Marez took exception to Mr. Chesney's comments about the skatepark issue because he did not it could be compared to today's issue. He said placing a skate park near the Del Mar area was not comparable because it would not create the perception that the city did not care about them. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows on Item 34 as follows: 34. MOTION NO. 2006-071 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to enter into negotiations to purchase Flint Hills Tank Farm site (Site 4) for the location of the new Wastewater Treatment Plant. The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kinnison, and Scott, voting "Aye"; Kelly, Marez, and Noyola, voting "No". * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Garrett referred to Item 30, the Building Standards Board appeal, and asked if staff had completed their discussions with the property owners. City Manager Noe provided a draft motion and attachment for the Council's consideration. Mr. Scott asked why staff didn't include a provision in which Mr. Ismael Garcia would compensate the city for the costs expended in pursuing the case. Mr. Hal George replied staff had indicated that they did not have those figures. Assistant City Manager Margie Rose added that staff did invoice Mr. Garcia for mowing high weeds, and Mr. Garcia had paid the fees. Staff was unable, however, to arbitrarily develop a figure for staffs time. Council Member Garcia agreed with Ms. Rose. A motion was made and seconded to approve the proposed motion with the following vote: Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 28 30. MOTION NO. 2006-065 Motion to deny the appeal in part, thereby, upholding the order of the Building Standards Board requiring the demolition of the structure, and to sustain the appeal in part, thereby, reversing the requirements to (1) demolish the foundation, driveway, and underground utilities and (2) obtain a demolition permit within 30 days, and in lieu thereof based on the evidence offered and as a modification to the Board's order, the terms of the attached agreed order, including a restrictive timeline, are hereby submitted. The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye"; Marez was absent. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 36 regarding a donation agreement for the Columbus Ships. City Attorney Mary Kay Fischer reported that the Spain-U.S.A. Foundation wished to donate the Columbus Ships to the City of Corpus Christi. She said all five interested entities have signed a Consent and Release form in regard to the ships. Staff prepared a donation agreement to donate, transfer, and assign the ships as is to the City of Corpus Christi. She said today's resolution would authorize the City Manager or his designee to sign the agreement. No one in the audience commented regarding the item. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 36. RESOLUTION NO. 026670 Resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to sign a donation agreement donating Columbus Ships to City of Corpus Christi. The foregoing resolution was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Noyoia, and Scott, voting "Aye"; Marez was absent. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Garrett called for the City Manager's report. City Manager Noe stated that a Neighborhood Pride Meeting would be held this evening at 6:00 p.m., Oso Recreation Center. He noted that the Council should have received a copy of the scheduled Neighborhood Initiative meetings scheduled for the next several months. Mr Noe reported that the deadline to submit applications for the Citizen University Program was tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. Applications could be submitted online through the city's website or at the Public Information Office, 5th floor City Hall. The seven-month program was designed to educate citizens on city programs. Mr. Noe stated that staff could schedule an update on the improvements to the development services process either on March 21 or April 11. Mayor Garrett recognized Cullen Middle School for their technological savvy, noting that students did most of their schoolwork on laptop computers rather than using textbooks. He said Baker Middle School also used laptops. Mr. Noe replied that the city was working with CCISD, Minutes - Regular Council Meeting February 28, 2006 - Page 29 Cullen Middle School, and Intel to allow students to access the internet through a special portal In the WiFi network. Mayor Garrett asked for Council reports. Mr. Noyola pointed out that hurricane season was almost here, and he asked for an update on the city's evacuation plans for persons with disabilities. Mr. Noe replied a special group was currently developing an evacuation plan for persons with disabilities. Mr Scott asked for a status report on the riding stables on the Island, stating that he had received a report that the situation was worsening. Director of Development Services Barbara Holly replied that the city had currently filed 52 citations against the property owner. She said his attorney, John Bell, was working with the property owner so he would comply with the law. Mr. Scott asked for an update on the Meldo Park code enforcement issue. Ms. Holly replied that Neighborhood Services was taking the lead on the issue with Development Services providing support services. She said the property had been cited for illegal land use by running a group home in a residential area. The issue would then be referred to Municipal Court if the property owner did not comply within 60 to 90 days. City Manager Noe said staff would follow the case closely. Mr Scott referred to an article in the newspaper stating that the Council was dismissing Mr. Scott's Citizen of the Year award presented at the last Council meeting. He said the Council was only being facetious, and he was not offended in any way. Mr Garcia asked about the racial profiling report in the City Manager's report. Acting Police Chief Bung was not present, so Mr. Noe said he would set up a meeting. Mr. Garcia said he was pleased with the report overall. Mr Garcia thanked City Engineer Escobar for promptly responding to his concerns on a number of street issues in northwest Corpus Christi. He also thanked Ms. Yvonne Haag for handling a code enforcement issue involving a boat dumped in a subdivision. Mr Garcia asked Assistant City Manager Oscar Mal iinez about zoning issues related to the Memorial Coliseum RFP. Mr. Martinez replied the zoning was a non-issue at this point, but might need to be addressed later in the negotiations. In response to Mr. Garcia's question, Mr. Martinez replied that at no time did staff state that the city preferred to keep the existing zoning in the area Mr. Martinez also clarified that the city had not committed to helping anyone apply for additional funding, and had made clear that the city was not going to invest any money in the project, besides city incentives. Mayor Garrett recognized Ms. Kaye Noyes, 930 Coral, who spoke in support of preserving the Memorial Coliseum. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Garrett adjourned the Council meeting at 4:00 p.m on February 28, 2006. * * * * * * * * * * * * * 2 a.

Nueces County has major hazardous material highway transportation routes (i.e. IH-37; usn; etc.), major railways (TexMex and Union Pacific), over 10 major petroleum/chemical plants, a military base, and the 7th largest port in the U.S. In 2004, over 300 facilities reported using, storing, or manufacturing a hazardous substance or extremely hazardous substance above its Threshold Planning Quantity. Over 90 percent of the County's 317.000 people live within 10 miles of a "high risk" area. The grant will allow the LEPC to conduct a Spring Public Awareness Campaign on Hazardous Materials Emergencies. The campaign will begin with the distribution of 89,000 brochures as an insert in the City of Corpus Christi Utility bill. In addition, 25,000 book-covers with the Personal Safety Plan message will be distributed to selected Nueces County schools. A functional or full-scale exercise is also planned to test the emergency operations plans of both urban and rural emergency response agencies. The total project cost is $16,250.00 and requires a hard or soft match of 20% ($3,250.00).

The total combined distance of the trail is 6.1 miles, of which approximately 3.3 miles will be new. The trail will be 10 foot wide and constructed of concrete. The Hike and Bike trail along the Schanen drainage ditch will provide access from nearby neighborhoods to Grant Middle School, Kostoryz Elementary School, Carroll High School, Dawson Elementary School, Schanen Elementary School, and Browne Middle School. The trail will also provide access for those seeking physical exercise and will link to various parks along its route. The trail will encourage healthy activity for all ages. Beginning at the comer of Tiger Lane and Flynn Parkway, new trail construction will run approximately 2.9 miles along the Schanen Drainage Ditch to Oso Parkway.

Trash receptacles will be placed periodically to promote a clean environment. There are 8 public parks that border the Schanen Drainage Ditch. These parks provide an area for people of all ages to gather and enjoy the outdoors and other activities. The Schanen Drainage Ditch is owned by the City of Corpus Christi so no land acquisitions or dedications of easements are necessary. The Hike and Bike trail along the Schanen Drainage Ditch will establish a relationship with the transportation system by function, constructing a new passage for pedestrians and bicyclists without taking away or adding to the existing roadway. The trail will compliment the transportation system by allowing the safe transportation of pedestrians and bicyclists.

Herndon and wife Karen L. Herndon, for the acquisition of Parcel 503 in the total amount of $86,135, containing a Utility, Right of Way, and Temporary Construction Easement, necessary for the Southside Water Transmission Main, Phase 5, Project #8391 , and for other municipal purposes. ISSUE: Acquisition of the Southside Water Transmission Main is underway for Phase 5 as shown on Exhibit C. This phase will extend the water main from the Rodd Field RoadlYorktown Boulevard intersection southeasterly to the Laguna Madre at the end of Whiteley Street. On December 17, 2002, City Council approved an engineering services contract with Urban Engineering for permitting, design and acquisition ofthe required right- of-way. The City has acquired Parcel 503 in the total amount of $86,135, which requires City Council approval. FUNDING: Water CIP 550701-4475-00000-180184 Amount Requested: $86,135 RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion as presented. -1L- k- tPJ(iS- /06 (tJ il- Angel R. Escobar, P. E.

Background Information Prior Council Action Route Map Parcel Location Map H:\HOME\EUSEBIOG\GEN\Agenda I1ems\SS Water Trans.Ph 5. Hemdon\Agenda Memorandum.doc BACKGROUND INFORMATION SUBJECT: Southside Water Transmission Main, Phase 5 Acquisition of Parcel 503 PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: See Exhibit B FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Council will be required to: 1. authorize contracts and expenditure of funds from the Water Capital Projects Fund (Commercial Paper) which exceed $25,000; and 2. authorize the payment of any Special Commissioners' Awards in connection with acquisition of any parcels acquired by condemnation in Phase 5. OVERVIEW: f[gject Background: The Council-approved 1997 Water Distribution System Master Plan Update recommended a new Southside Transmission Main from the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant (ONSWTP) to a new pumping plant on South Staples. This new line will alleviate inadequate water supply and pressure problems experienced during peak demand periods in Pressure Zone 2, the area southeast of Everhart Road. In addition, the transmission main is necessary to increase the hydraulic capacity of the delivery system from the ONSWTP to southeast Corpus Christi and eventually to Padre Island. It will be the primary supply source for the Staples Street Pumping Plant. Phases 1 through 4a of the waterline have been constructed which extend the waterline from the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment plant southeast to Rodd Field at Holly Road. Acquisition of 37 parcels for the Phase 5 route, as shown on the attached Exhibit C, are near completion with two parcels remaining after this one. Parcel Description: Parcel 503 is composed of a right of way and utility easement containing a temporary construction easement all fronting along Yorktown Boulevard as shown on the attached Exhibit D. The easement contains a twenty-five (25.0) feet wide right of way easement, a fifteen (15) feet wide utility easement, and a variable width temporary construction easement ranging from ten (10) to fifty (50) feet wide. All are parallel to each other and extend a total length of approximately 3,043 feet long. The subject property is zoned F-R "Farm Rural" and lies within the city limits of Corpus Christi. Thomas F. Dorsey, MAl, appraised the easements in the total amount of $62,200 based on $20,000 an acre. Parcel Neaotiations: The City of Corpus Christi has concluded negotiations with the landowner and received the executed easement instruments. Both the City and landowner have agreed on an administrative settlement of $86,135 based on $25,000 per acre. City staff compromised on the land value and acknowledged a higher land value than stated in the appraisal due to its water view area amenity along the Cayo del Oso. It is in the best interest of the City to settle at this amount in order to avoid a delayed condemnation suit. Since this is an easement acquisition, no title company is required for closing.

OVERVIEW: f!:2ject Backaround: The Council-approved 1997 Water Distribution System Master Plan Update recommended a new Southside Transmission Main from the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant (ONSWTP) to a new pumping plant on South Staples. This new line will alleviate inadequate water supply and pressure problems experienced during peak demand periods in Pressure Zone 2, the area southeast of Everhart Road. In addition, the transmission main is necessary to increase the hydraulic capacity of the delivery system from the ONSWTP to southeast Corpus Christi and eventually to Padre Island. It will be the primary supply source for the Staples Street Pumping Plant. Phases 1 through 4a of the waterline have been constructed which extend the waterline from the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment southeast to Rodd Field at Holly Road. Acquisition of 37 parcels for the Phase 5 route, as shown on the attached Exhibit C, are near completion with two parcels remaining after this one. Pareel Description: Parcel 529 is composed of a right of way and utility easement containing a temporary construction easement along a portion of Waldron Road and alongside the Barney Davis Plant as shown on the attached Exhibit D. The easement contains a twenty-seven and a half (27.5) feet wide right of way easement along Waldron Road, a fifteen (15) feet wide utility easement, and a variable width temporary construction easement ranging from ten (10) to fifty (50) feet wide. All are parallel to each other and extend a total length of approximately 3,257 feet long. The subject property is zoned F-R "Farm Rural" and lies within the city limits of Corpus Christi. Thomas F. Dorsey, MAl, appraised the easements in the total amount of $51,800 based on $7,500 an acre. Pareel Neaotiatlons: The City of Corpus Christi has concluded negotiations with the landowner and they have agreed to a total administrative settlement of $62,100 which includes items not contained in the appraisal such as fencing, supplemental feed, gates, etc. It is in the best interest of the City to settle at this amount in order to avoid a delayed condemnation suit. Since this is an easement acquisition, no title company is required for closing.

Several shelters were opened and operated by City staff in order to house and care for the evacuees, thus incurring costs.

These costs were paid by the City. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has now reimbursed the City for costs incurred by the City and in so doing the money now awaits appropriation by the City Council. However, the City is continuing to incur housing costs for the rental of the apartments of the evacuees who have yet to transition from the Section 403 Public Assistance Program to the Section 408 Individual Housing Assistance program of the Robert Stafford Relief and Emergency Assistance Act ("the Act"). Under "the Act", assistance is provided to individuals and households to respond to the disaster-related housing needs ofthose displaced from their pre-disaster residences or whose pre-disaster residences are rendered uninhabitable as a result of damage caused by a major disaster.

The contractors include: Center Plate, Corpus Christi Christian Fellowship, Corpus Christi Independent School District, First United Methodist Church, Goodwill Industries, SMG, the Volunteer Center of the Coastal Bend. These organizations submitted their expenses to FEMA through the City of Corpus Christi. FEMA has now reimbursed the City for costs incurred by the outside contractors.

Once City Council appropriates the funds the contractors will be reimbursed their costs. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: None. FUNDING: Receipt of funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the Department of Homeland Security.

Companv (Bluff's LandinI! Marina): An ordinance granting a time extension of one year for a special permit for an event center in an "R-IC" One-family Dwelling District, Lots 2 and 12, Block I, Tyler Subdivision, located approximately 400 feet north of Laguna Shores Drive between Wyndale Drive and Claudia Drive; and Declaring an emergency. Staff's Recommendation: Approval of the time extension for one year to March 29, 2007 for the Special Permit. ReQuested Council Action: Approval of a time extension for one year to March 29, 2007 for the Special Permit. Purpose of Reauest: A change of zoning on Tract 1 from "R-IC" One-family Dwelling District to "R-IC" with a Special Permit for an Event Center was approved by the City Council on March 29, 2005. The Special Permit was issued for one year and expires on March 29, 2006. The property owner is requesting the time extension because he has not been able to begin construction due to site difficulties with utility relocations. However, the owner feels confident that these issues will be resolved soon and construction should begin in the next several months. Summary : · Existing Land Use: The subject property is low density residential and vacant. · Density: Minimum lot area permitted in the "R-l e" District provides for a minimum lot area of 4,500 square feet and minimum lot width of 45 feet with a front yard setback of 20 feet. .

Claudia Drive is a local street and Wyndale Drive is a local collector street with a capacity of 2,500 trips per day. The Event Center would generate approximately 117 average daily trips, all of which would gain access to the Event Center parking lot via Laguna Shores Drive and Wyndale Drive. Both Wyndale Drive and Laguna Shores Drive would accommodate the additional traffic projected by the proposed use. · Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility. The proposed Event Center use is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan and the Flour Bluff Area Development Plan. Recommendation: Approval ofa one year time extension for the Special Permit to March 29,2007. Applicant's Position: The applicant is requesting the time extension. Agenda Memorandum Case No, 0205-04 (BL Real Estate Holding Co ~" Bluff Landing Marina) Page 2 Notification: Of the twenty-two (22) notices mailed in March 2005 to the surrounding property owners, two were returned in favor and one was returned in opposition within the area and one returned in opposition from outside the area.

Tract 2: To Neighborhood Business. Map No.: 036,026 Zoning Violations: None . The applicant is requesting a change of zoning to "B-2" Bayfront Business District on Tract 1 for the development of an event center as an accessory use to the recently redeveloped commercial marina and restaurant uses across Wyndale Drive and to "AT" Apartment Tourist District on Tract 2 for the development of a 26 unit motel. . Tract 1 has direct access to a collector street, Wyndale Drive, with secondary access to Claudia Drive, a local street. Traffic generated by the event center would primarily use Wyndale Drive via Laguna Shores Drive, the primary collector street serving this area. Tract 2 has direct access to a local street, Claudia Drive, and is located at the intersection with Laguna Shores Drive. · The event center use (Tract 1) classified as a restaurant/drinking place use would generate approximately 117 average daily vehicles. The 26 unit motel (Tract 2) would generate approximately 230 average daily vehicles. Laguna Shores Road would accommodate the additional traffic projected by the proposed uses. . A water/wastewater demand of the proposed restaurant/drinking place use (Tract 1) is projected at 800 gallons per day with a solid waste demand of 340 Ibs. daily. A water/wastewater demand of the proposed motel use (Tract 2) is projected at 644 gallons per day with a solid waste demand of 232 lbs. daily. Zonmg Repon Case No 0205-04 (BL Real Estate Holdmg Co, - Bluffs Landing Marina Page 3 · Tract 1 - The "B-2" District allows for signs not exceeding sixty (60) square feet in area and used only to advertise the principal business or activity conducted on the premises. For each one (1) foot oflot frontage in excess of one hundred (100) feet, one (1) additional square foot of sign area shall be permitted, provided the total sign area shall not exceed two hundred and sixty (260) square feet. The permitted square feet in sign area may be divided among several smaller signs, provided only one sign, not attached flat against a wall of the building shall be permitted for each lot or other area greater than one lot under one ownership. No sign which is other than flat against the wall shall in any event exceed one hundred fifty (150) square feet III area. In no case shall any sign project above the height of the building, and if attached flat against a wall of the building such sign shall not project more than eighteen (18) inches from the wall of the building or structure. No signs shall be permitted, regardless of size, which revolve, whirl, move, flash, or make noise. No agency of the City of Corpus Christi may grant a variance, exception, or take any action which would permit a sign to be erected in excess of the size provided herein or different from the provisions contained herein. · Tract 2 - The "AT" District allows accessory buildings and uses including signage not exceeding sixty (60) square feet in area and used only to advertise the principal business or activity conducted on the premises. For each one (1) foot of lot frontage in excess of one hundred (100) feet, (1) additional square foot of sign area shall be permitted provided the total SIgn area shall not exceed two hundred sixty (260) square feet. The permitted square C: footage of sign area may be divided among several signs, provided only one (1) sign not 6 attached flat against a wall of the building shall be permitted for each lot or premise and 6 provided that only one (1) wall sign shall be permitted per street frontage. The one (1) ~ freestanding sign shall not, in any event, exceed sixty (60) square feet in area or twenty (20) ~ feet in height. In no case shall any wall sign project above the height of the building, and f; when attached flat against a wall of the building such sign shall not project more than ~ eighteen (18) inches from the wall of the building or structure. No signs shall be permitted, regardless of size, which revolve, whirl, move, flash, or make noise. No portable signs shall be permitted · The requested "B-2" Bayfront Business District on Tract 1 is inconsistent with the future land use map which recommends neighborhood business on the eastern 2/3 (Lot 2) of Tract 1 and low denSIty residential use on the western 1/3 (Lot 12). Staff recommends denial of the "B-2" District for the subject property, and in lieu thereof, a Special Permit to allow for the event center use with several conditions to protect and buffer the adjoining residential uses. The requested "AT" Apartment Tourist District on Tract 2 is consistent with the future land use map that recommends neighborhood business use at this location. Staff recommends approval of the "AT" District to allow for the motel use. Staff believes that these uses are complementary and accessory to the primary commercial marina located adjacent to Tracts 1 and 2. The applicant has shown a willingness to work with staff and the neighborhood to mitigate any adverse impacts which may be generated by these accessory uses. · A change of zoning to a "B-2" Bayfront Business District on Tract 1 does not ensure added protection to the adjoining residential areas. However, a new Special Permit in the "R-I C"/SP District would allow for the requested uses while providing protection for the adjacent residential uses. A change of zoning to a "AT" Apartment-Tourist District on Tract 2 is consistent with the future land use map and is recommended.

Memorandum TO: President Rex Kinnison and Board Members of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation FROM: George K. Noe, General Manager ~ DATE: March 17,2006 SUBJECT: Request for Meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation (CCCIC) on March 21,2006 I am requesting that a meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation (CCCIC) be held during the Council meeting of March 21, 2006, to consider the following item: Approval of and authorization for the conversion of a previously awarded $150,000 grant of HOME funds to the Housing Authority of the City of Corpus Christi for the Seabreeze Senior Apartment Complex from a grant to a ten year loan under terms and conditions approved by the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation. In 2004, the Housing Authority was granted $150,000 from the City's HOME program for housing assistance, In 2005, at the request of the Housing Authority, the $150,000 grant was reprogrammed specifically for assistance to the proposed Sea breeze apartment complex. This complex was to consist of 200 units of housing for senior citizens located near the intersection of North Padre Island drive and IH37. The complex was proposed to be 100% for seniors at 60% or below of the median income. The Housing Authority has now secured a tax credit allocation from the state to assist the project and has requested that in order to meet federal statutes for tax credits that the $150,000 HOME grant be converted to a loan. We have worked with the Housing Authority and are recommending that the Board of the CCCIC approve the conversion of the grant to a loan with a term of ten years. We are proposing an interest rate of 1 % compounded annually, with no payments due for the first two years of the loan. We believe that this proposed conversion not only will allow the Housing Authority to move forward with the project but will also be beneficial to the CCCIC by allowing the funds to come back to the Corporation for future allocation. 30 AGENDA MEMORANDIJM PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: 3/21/06) Case No. 0206-01 Southcorp Realtv Advisors.

Case () 1 06-08 Staples Development, LLC was tabled at the City Council hearing held on February 28, 2006, to consider a change of zoning to"B-4" General Business District on Tract I and "R-l C" One-family Dwelling District on Tract 2. At the hearing, further information pertaining to Tract 2 was requested by City Council as to the number and area of lots proposed for the residential subdivision. The "R-l C" One-family Dwelling District allows for a mmimum lot area of 4,500 square feet with a minimum front setback of 20 feet, while the "R-l B" One- family Dwelling District allows for a minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet with a minimum front setback of 25 feet. The preliminary plat for Tract 2 proposed as a "R-l C" One-family Dwelling District shows that 69 single-family lots ,vill meet "R-IB" One-family Dwelling District standards. The requested "R-IC" One-family Dwelling District on Tract 2 is not necessary for the development ofthis tract as a slllgle-family subdivision, providing the current preliminary plat is not changed to reduce lot area and setbacks during the final platting stage. Staff recommended denial of "R-l C" One-family Dwelling District and in lieu thereof, approval of a "R-l B" One-family Dwelling District. The applicant concurs with the staff recommendation.

The developer is requesting a "B-4" District for commercIal development on Tract 1 Plans have not been developed for this tract. On Tract 2, the applicant IS proposing a fifty-three (53) lot subdivision on the subject property. The future land use recommends general business, neighborhood business and multi family uses. Staff recommendation is denial of the "B-4" General Business District on Tract I due to future residential proximity and, in lieu thereoC approval of a "B-1 A"Neighborhood Business District. Staff recommends approval of the "R-l C" on Tract 2 In answer to Commissioner Skrobarczyk's questlOn, Ms. Goode-Macon stated that properties on each sIde are zoned a "B-4" General Business District. Public hearing was opened. Martin Leary, 105 Ilawthome Place, Corpus Christi stated that he owned the adjoining tract and it was a very thought out mixed use development. If someone cannot get the appropriate zoning, his only optIOn is to break up the lots which are not in the best interests of the City. I encourage the Planning CommiSSlOn to approve the zoning as requested. In answer to Commissioner Martmez's question, Ms. Goode-Macon stated that the City had no specific development plans on this project. Bill Ward, 25 HeWitt, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that the developer is attempting to move forward with his project.

Commissioner Martinez stated that he would approve the "B-4"District for Tract 1. Commissioner Pus ley stated that he was in agreement with Commissioner Braselton and would be to favor of a "B-1" District Chairman Stone that he would be in favor of a "B-4" District.

Paul Lozak, 14261 Allamanda Drive, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that the applicant is almost at completion of twenty-two (22) high quality townhomes on Padre Island Island are looking to do a similar development in this area. This area is void of new construction. The applicant did consider developing approximately fifty (50) single-family residences in this area but after studying the City's Development Plan which indicated multi-family zoning the applicant revised their request to an "A-2" Apartment House District. The current zoning east along Laguna Shores Road is a "B2" Bayfront Business District or "B-4" General Business District for business, and properties on each side of the subject property are zoned a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District and an "A-I" Apartment House District. The applicant had discussions with the City regarding the possibility of developing this area for townhouses and condominiums and had discussions on water, wastewater, and drainage. The applicants provided a preliminary site plan showing the development of these townhomes and condominiums guarding the privacy of the residents on Debra and leaving the majority of the rear property undisturbed. The Planning CommissIOn Minutes Case No. 0206-02 (Chill Pepper Properties, Inc., Gary Cadena and Timothy Lawson) Page 2 development would generate $30-$40 million in construction and be a positive addition for the entire area. In answer to Commissioner Pusley's question, Mr. Lozak stated that there has been no communication with the neIghborhood. In answer to Commtssioner Zamora's question, Mr. Lozak stated that the applicant is more than willmg to have dIscussions with the neighbors to discuss plans and their concerns. Wallace Allen, 2705 Laguna Shores Road, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that he was in favor of this request. Marvm and Norma Marshall, 2825 Debra Street, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that the storm drainage floods into a wetland and three-fourths of the time has six inches to a foot of water and continues to fill up 10 the rainiest of season to approximately 10 feet of water. The boundaries of the project drain to the right of Glenoak and continue to fill up towards my property and then eventually move across the street. These five (5) story townhouses are about a few hundred feet from my house. Across the street from this project is the Red Hen Pond which is a protective wildlife reserve and a lot of the birds reside in the back area of the proposed development. This project will destroy the wetlands. This five (5) story building behind my house IS going to lower property values with this kind of development of apartment type buildings. Neighbors don't want to have their privacy infringed on with buildings at the rear of their properties In answer to Comnnssioner Skrobarczyk's questIOn, Mrs. Marshall stated that the six (6) foot pond doesn't dram, but the surrounding streets drain into Glenoak and there are no side walks and no parking. In answer to Chairnlan Stone's question, Mary Frances Teniente stated that the engineer will be addressing issues if that is an official wetlands and drainage will be discussed and assessed. Alex Hacker. 2630 Debra Street, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that his residence was approximately 150 yards from the proposed development. All the water drainage crosses Glenoak and goes through the wildlife area. Looking at their project lay-out, about 80 percent will be pure mn-off with roofs and pavement and there will be an additional nine (9) acres that generate run-off. Approximately 30,000 gallons for run-off. My second concern is traffic. This development will add 300 cars to this area and there are only two (2) exits on Glenoak Drive and on Waldron Road. At school time, there is a large traffic problem. There will be environmental contamination with this development and the drainage that ]t will produce. The pond is in front of my property and it will ruin our environment. Elizabeth Starr, 2638 Debra, Corpus Christi, Texas inquired whether there would a study performed on the impact of this development. Most of the tourists that visit this area do so to view the Red Hen Pond and most of the tourists gather on Glenoak. This development will have a negative fact on the wetlands and their beauty. Wally Maller, 2718 Debra, Corpus Christi, Texas stated his opposition to this development. This area has limited infrastructure for sewer and is not set up for increased traffic. There will be 60 foot buildings in my view and this area is not set for drainage. There are kids walking to school and it would be a danger to them with no sidewalks and the increased traffic. Cmdy Moore, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that her residence was located on the comer of Glenoak and Laguna Shores Drive. Ms. Moore stated her opposition to the development of high-rise Planning Commission Minutes Case No. 0206-02 (Chih Pepper Properties, Inc.. Gary Cadena and Timothy Lawson) Page 3 apartments. There IS no come, a very quiet neighborhood and this will totally demolish our area and lower property values. I do have a problem with sixty to eighty foot buildings in that area. I don't oppose progress. These are small lots and this development is going to cause problems with the run-off and in five (5) years I have already submitted two (2) flood claims with the existing conditions. On 11.4 acres, there could be a development of eighty (80) single-family residences. There is also the problem of City sewage and traffic. Mike Parker, 225 Glenoak, Corpus Christi stated that the infrastructure will not handle this proposed development. ThIS area already has experienced some accidents and there is large traffic with approximately thirty (30) school buses each day. There are no sidewalks for the children. The sewage system backs up on a regular baSIS and this development will add to the problem. Jack Eckstine, 2745 Debra Lane, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that he owns three acres on the west side of this development and there is a lot of water received on our property. If you look at the property proposed, the property values will be ruined. Laguna Shores at high tide is under water. If this kind of development is approved, there are going to be major problems with drainage. Mr. Gaines, 2853 Glenoak, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that he owns three (3) acres and all of Debra drains toward his property and cuts between the back lot. The drainage is very heavy and fills up between his property and the adjacent neighbor's property. Scott Corliss, 2922 Debra Lane, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that this development will triple the traffic and this is not good planning. School traffic is 90 percent of the traffic. This will impede the marshland. R-IB is surrounding the property and it would definitely negative the complete area. At the next meetmg, there will be at least 30 percent of opposition. There will be an increased need for garbage dumps. Single-family residences would generate less amount of water There is a lot more spaces for run-off on a single-family residence. Pam Bush, 121 Glenoak, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that she is leasing her property but the owner of the property is very upset and opposes the development. Leota Games, 2853 Gaines, Corpus Christi, Texas stated we have approximately three acres along the Van Halen drainage ditch and all of Debra drains toward the east. It is blocked off and the culvert under Glenoak was filled in on the southside and as the water builds up, our property will have a lake. Jason Avrehusky, 233 Glenoak, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that traffic on Glenoak, Debra and Laguna Shores Road is extensive. During high tide on Laguna Shores Road the area is flooded that directs traffic through Glenoak. When it does ram, we have water rushing across Debra Lane sometimes four inches deep. The street Glenoak from Waldron Road to Debra is caving in and they are sewer problems and there is a hole going under the pavement. This problem has not been fixed. Also, on Debra on the north end when it rains the sanitary sewer can shoot as high as one foot. Public hearing was closed. Commissioner Braselton stated that the property to the north is already zoned an "A-I" Apartment House District and the drainage would have to be addressed during platting. Mary Frances Teniente stated that there is sewer down Debra Lane and there is a gravity system at the Riviera Lift Station. Planning Commission Mmutes Case No 0206-02 (Chili Pepper Properties. Inc, Gary Cadena and Timothy Lawson) Page 4 In answer to Commissioner Skrobarczyk's question, Ms. Holly stated our requirements are insufficient to protect thts area under the current Storm Water Master Plan. Commissioner Skroharczyk stated that if you had sufficient flow from Glenoak Drive the backup would be minimized going mto other subdivisions. Even on eighty (80) single family residences, there will run-off drainage problems. Even a one story structure would block the view and this development for Flour Bluff is long overdue and will probably occur. Commissioner Pus ley stated that there is a lot of work to be done with the neighbors and the developers. When you reach City Council with this much opposition, it can be difficult. Commissioner Salazar stated from listening to the neighborhood, I do not know if tabling this case would make a difference. The Flour Bluff is due for a development of this type. If the 20 percent mle is invoked, approval for the case will be difficult at the City Council level. It would be in the best mterests of the developer to work with the neighborhood Gary Kedina, a developer on the project, 14813 Leeward Trail, Corpus Christi, Texas stated he was the holder of a biology degree from A & M University and has experience with environmental concerns. Mr. Kedina stated their intent to maximize the use of this project and come to a balance that works The area at the back and at the location of the possible pond, we have left it as a green area. If the zoning request is approved, the applicant and developers will work with our engineers and the City to deal with the drainage problem. Traffic concerns are an issue. This development is more geared to vacation homes and weekend homes There is approximately an average of ten percent that live on the site all the time at our current development. At this proposed development, short term rentals will not be allowed. Regarding concerns with the enVironment, this area already has an environmental problem and drainage problems The applicant and developer wtll deal with the run-off on this property In answer to Chairman Stone's question, Mr. Kedina stated that their intention is to purchase Lots 2. 3 and 7 on McNeely If this does not occur, the applicant will build around those lots. In answer to CommIssioner Pusley's question, Mr. Kedina stated that a letter has been received from the ('orp of Engineers addressing Laguna Shores Road. The back issue is based on utilizing vegetation as a green area tn be used with the wildlife habitat. The proposed property will have to be reviewed by our engineer for the normal rainwater for Corpus Christi and divert water into different directions per our master plan. In answer to CommIssioner Skrobarczyk's questIOn, Mr. Kedina stated that proposed is a sidewalk and tenms courts bordering the wetlands. The structure for the condominiums will be elevated on stilts with parking underneath In answer to Commissioner Zamora's question, the landscaping plans will come later. In the past, we have used natural native plants to be placed around the pool. Commissioner Pusley encouraged all concerned to get together prior to City Council to find solutions for the development and concerns from the neighborhood. Chairman Stone stated he felt uncomfortable approving the vote when the site plan may change if the three (3) lots are not purchased. Planmng CommissIOn Mmutes Case No. 0206-02 (Chllt Pepper Properties, lnc, Gary Cadena and Timothy Lawson) Page'i Motion for approval of an "A-2" Apartment House District was made by Commissioner Pusley and seconded by Commissioner Skrobarczyk. Motion passed unanimously with Chairman Stone opposing and Commissioner Huerta being absent.

Issue: The Texas Transportation Code, Section 451.061 states that changes to the fares of the Regional Transportation Authority must have majority approval by a Local Government Fare Review Committee. The five City representatives would serve in conjunction with three members of the Commissioner's Court, and three Mayors of small cities in the RTA's service area. This body does not meet on a regular basis and convenes only when an increase to the existing fare structure is proposed by the Authority. Bus fares for RTA's fixed route services have not changed since RTA began service in 1986. Attached is a copy of the RT A Fare Review Study which includes the proposed fare increase recommendations. It is anticipated that the Fare Review Committee will meet on this issue sometime in April 2006 to consider the proposed changes. Action Requested: Appointment of five members of the City Council to serve on an 11 member Fare Review Committee for the purpose of increasing fares. ~~~. Armando Chapa City Secretary Attachment: Fare Review Study REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY INFORMATION REPORT DATE: March 2006 SUBJECT: Fare Review Study BACKGROUND: Bus fares for RT A's fixed route services have not changed since RT A began service in 1986. Staff has been conducting an extensive analysis of fares and the impacts of alternative fares on ridership. As part of this effort, staff is reviewing ways to simplify fare structures. The goals of this study are: Increase Revenue: The share of operating expenses paid by passengers (the "fare recovery ratio") has declined since 1986, to less than seven percent (7%) of total operating expenses. RTA's philosophy over a number of years not to raise fares has been a major contributor to a lower fare recovery rate over time. This issue is even more important in 2005 as fuel prices continue to increase over conservative budget projections. Minimize Need for Future Fare ChanQes: Fare increases are often controversial. Any fare increase should be small enough to minimize the impact on ridership, but should also be high enough that RT A will not have to increase fares in the near future, except for exceptional developing issue(s). Simplifv Fare Structure: There are seven different fare categories for fixed route services. In most categories, there may be two different amounts charged, depending on the day of the week or time of day. This is confusing for riders and operators, and has shown to cause disputes and complaints. Minimize Loss of Ridership: Fare increases will typically result in some loss of ridership, although some will return to use bus service in time. Incentives through new fare options, though contrary to the goal of simplifying the fare structure, may minimize loss of ridership. Daily, weekly or monthly passes and multi-ride passes are examples of new fare options that may attract riders who feel they are getting a "bargain" and may also be more convenient for more riders by matching their special ridership patterns. TransitioninQ B-Line Riders to Fixed Routes: Changes in bus fares may impact paratransit service. However, transitioning paratransit riders to fixed routes is a continuing objective for reducing paratransit costs and optimizing paratransit service. Fare Policies: Discussions with bus operators reveal that some passenger abuses occur with transfers, discount identifications, use of tokens. Staff will consider modifying or abandoning some of these policies in favor of more innovative measures Benefits and Purpose of Fare Increase . A fare increase would be used for two primary purposes: c A significant portion of the increased fare revenue would be used to help offset (not completely offset) significantly increasing RTA expenses for fuel and other materials to minimize service reduction . The RT A is especially sensitive to the needs of the disabled, senior citizens and students Fore many of these citizens, the RTA represents their sole form of transportation. Therefore, all passenger amenities are designed with these citizens in mind. o A significant portion of the increased fare revenue would be used to help upgrade customer amenities, most notably improvements to its bus stops, such as shade shelters, benches, information systems and lighting. . A fare increase will help to reduce the use of RTA's annual "formula funds" (Le., capital funds) now being used for operation expenses, such as bus preventive-maintenance. This will also assist to redirect capital funds to other capital needs and passenger amenities. Board Actions and Implementation Plan In the August 2005, RTA's Board of Directors agreed to consider changing RTA's fare structures and increasing base fares. The Board approved "recommended' fares in August 2005 that would be used for public input purposes. Following that action, RT A staff began public outreach efforts to seek the comments of riders, the general public and elected officials on proposed changes. The original plan approved by the Board was to undertake a two-step process to review/consider changes to fares. . First, RT A would hold a series of meetings in which recommended fares would be offered for public comment. o Action: Staff proceeded with the public involvement process through the August-October 2005 timeframe. o Interruptions due to the Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita storms disrupted this process. o Plans were also being made to obtain public comments on proposed service changes, including reducing or eliminating some services. It was felt that seeking comments on fare increases at the same time as seeking comments on service reductions would send confusing, mixed messages to the passengers and public. Subsequently, progress in public outreach on this initiative has been slowed down. · Second, after reviewing the results from this extensive research, Staff would advise the Board of any further recommended revisions based on considerations of public comments. The Board would determine final recommendations to be used for a second series of public hearings, over a shorter time period. o Action: The Staff has evaluated comments from the general public and RT A's passengers and has suggesting revisions to the Board's initially recommended fare changes. Fare Recommendations Staff has evaluated input received from the public, including review from many of its most experienced bus operators. Proposed fares are shown below.

In many discussions, it has been noted that the share of operating expenses paid by passengers (Le., the "fare recovery ratio") has declined significantly. For FY2004, passenger revenues were less than seven percent (7%) of total operating expenses. Although not a factor or reason for RT A's initiative to consider a fare increase, Corpus Christi RT A does have one of the lowest fares in the country. Of the 240 transit systems reporting their fares to APTA, only two (Glendale, CA and Puerto Rico) have a lower fare, at 25c. Corpus Christi and ten (10) other transit systems have fares of 50c. Forty-two (42) other systems have fares of under $1, and 66 have set their base fares at $1. Table 1 below summarizes the disparity between RTA's fare and most other agencies. Table 1 U.S. and Canadian Transit Systems Fares BASE FARE % Total $ 0.25 .4% $ 0.50 .6% $ 0.60 1.3% $ 0.65 .4% $ 0.75 10.4% $ 0.80 1.7% $ 0.85 1.7% $ 0.90 .1 % $ 1.00 7.5% Over $1 50.0% Total 40 100.0% Source: American Public Transit Association (APTA) Although the Authority's fixed route fares have not increased since its inception in 1986, the costs of operating the transit have risen at the average annual rate of 4% over the last ten years while sales tax revenues have increased by an average annual rate of only 2.6%. In 2003, the Authority's departmental operating expenses began to exceed its sales tax revenues and the RT A began utilizing a portion of its federal grants to reimburse itself for certain maintenance expenses. This alternate use of the funding means that there are less grant funds available for capital needs. Other challenges the Authority has faced are the ever-increasing costs of fuel, increasing cost of steel used in vehicle repair parts, rising demand for the paratransit service, double-digit inflationary increases to provide insurance coverage for its employees, sales tax refunds to manufacturers in recent years, rising utility rates, and the replacement of its existing fixed assets, mostly buses and bus facilities. For example, over the last six years health insurance costs have increased on the average of 18% per year, fuel has increased on the average of 11 % per year, and utilities have increased annually at 5%. The Authority's strategy for addressing rising costs while living within its means has been to take measures to minimize its cost impact on the public. Among these measures are: · The Authority consciously decided to forego increasing the Authority's sales tax rate from the orioinal 1985 rate of Y:z-cent rate to the maximum legally allowable rate of 1-cent. Thus, the Authority decided to live within this means. · The RT A has tightened its budgeting practices to be disciplined. This belt- tightening approach resulted in slowing down the rise in overall expenses. · The Authority continuously monitors its expenses for cost reduction opportunities. As an example, twice per year staff evaluates each of its 42 fixed routes and make changes to increase their effectiveness and efficiency. · Where it is more cost-effective to do so, the Authority has partnered itself with the private sector to provide services on an as-needed basis for various types of maintenance (i.e. plumbing, concrete repair, construction and engineering, electrical) as opposed to creating new positions to accomplish these tasks internally whenever the need arises. The Authority has similarly employed specialized providers to gain heightened levels of expertise in certain core services (i.e. paratransit). · The Authority has placed smaller more fuel-efficient vehicles into service. These vehicles gain about one additional mile per gallon. The Authority utilizes over 1 million gallons per year. The benefits are clear. · The Authority has entered into a cooperative purchased arrangement for the purchase of vehicles, which will cost RTA 50% less of the grant-matching funds previously needed to purchase these vehicles. · A partnership with other government entities to take part in an electricity co- operative agreement to utilize group bargaining power to obtain 15% lower rates than the market prevailing rates it would otherwise have paid helped keep the rising costs of utilities managed. · The Authority partnered with the City of Corpus Christi to 'piggy-back' for radio and data communications by sharing common infrastructure. This arrangement resulted in a significant cost savings. The alternative was to have built the infrastructure (additional capital expense) and maintained it (additional operating expense). · By coordinating street projects with the City of Corpus Christi, the Authority saves thousands of dollars by sharing contractors on projects of mutual benefit to both organizations. Done in this manner, projects are completed more efficiently as well. Public Outreach Efforts The public outreach effort was a comprehensive program of three concurrent phases. Public meetings were scheduled at several municipalities, and then presentations were made to their city councils. Separately, presentations were scheduled at many senior citizen centers around the County. Finally, open forums were planned to be held at the RT A's transit stations. Along with these, a survey form was used and distributed to gain more input, especially from passengers. In addition, RTA sought input from our bus operators. Public Meetinos and City Council Presentations Four public meetings have been held to date, although attendance has been very low In each: Bishop (2), Robstown (2), Gregory (2) and Port Aransas (5). As planned, staff also made short informational presentations to the city councils of each municipality after the public meetings. At all of the public meetings (except for Port Aransas), there were several negative comments about the proposed fares, although there was some discussion about the impacts on persons with limited incomes. At the City Council meetings, members voiced support for the proposals. In Port Aransas, there was considerable opposition to the proposals to charge fares on the #94 Port Aransas Trolley, and to raising the fare on the Flexi-B service from 50 cents to $1.25. The main reasons raised were: · The low- and fixed-income residents who ride the trolley around town and the Flex-B to Corpus Christi cannot afford the increase. · The "Winter Texans" who ride the buses are also on limited incomes and will have difficulty paying the increased fares. · Port Aransas considers itself a "donor city" to RT A, because it contributes, by the city's calculations, $350,000 in sales tax, while their bus services only cost RTA about $175,000 (amount reimbursed by RTA to the City to operate the services) Senior Citizen Center Presentations To date, staff made presentations to senior citizens at seven Senior Citizen Centers around the County: · Greenwood · Lindale · Zavala · Robstown · Bishop · Oveal Williams · Northwest 37 CITY COUNCil AGENDA MEMORANDUM March 21, 2006 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances, City of Corpus Christi, Chapter 10, Beachfront Management and Construction, regarding the elimination of vehicular traffic on the beach seaward of the Padre Island seawall and Packery Channel and Padre Balli Park; the direction of travel between Whitecap Boulevard and Padre Balli Park; establishing and regulating Pedestrian Safe Beach; establishing a Pedestrian Safe area; ordering a special election to be held on November 7, 2006, in the City of Corpus Christi on the question of amending the Charter of the City of Corpus Christi to provide for restriction of vehicular access to the public beach after approval in a public referendum; providing for procedures for holding such election; providing for notice of election and publication thereof; providing for establishment of branch early polling places; designating polling place locations; authorizing a joint election with Nueces County; and enacting provisions incident and relating to the subject and purpose of this ordinance; providing for penalties; providing for severance; directing the City Manager to process any changes to the Comprehensive Plan, other plans, or ordinances to make such consistent with this ordinance; providing for publication; and providing for the effective date of the sections of this ordinance. ISSUE: Whether vehicular traffic should be restricted from the beach seaward of the Padre Island seawall and from the beach south of Packery Channel and north of the Padre Balli Park, whether the southbound one-way traffic regulation between Whitecap Boulevard and Padre Balli Park should be continued, whether a Pedestrian Safe Beach should be established with special conditions for the safety of persons on the Pedestrian Safe Beach, whether the beach between Packery Channel and Padre Balli Park should be established as a pedestrian safe area, and whether a special election should be called on the question of amending the Charter to provide for a publiC referendum on the further restriction of vehicular access to the public beach, such election requirement to be effective only after the implementation of the restriction of vehicular access to the beach between Packery Channel and Padre Balli Park and the final conclusion of all challenges to the restriction. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Adoption of proposed ordinance. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTIONS: February 28, 1995 - adoption of Dune Protection and Beach Access Plan, an element of Comprehensive Plan. December 17, 1996 - adoption of resolution authorizing sale and purchase agreement with Asset Development Corporation for acquisition of property along the seawall for public parking and related public uses. (Implementation of SB 1688.) April 20, 2004 - adoption of Mustang-Padre Area Development Plan, an element of Comprehensive Plan. September 13, 2005 - adoption of motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a construction contract with Haas Anderson Construction, Ltd., of Corpus Christi, Texas in the amount of $458,618.20 for the Total Base Bid and Additive Alternate NO.3 for the Packery Channel South Parking Lot Improvements. October 18, 2005 - adoption of ordinance 026526 restricting vehicles from the beach seaward of the Padre Island seawall and prohibiting southbound one-way traffic between Whitecap Boulevard and Padre Balli Park. October 25, 2005 - repeal of ordinance 026526 restricting vehicles from the beach seaward of the Padre Island seawall and prohibiting southbound one-way traffic between Whitecap Boulevard and Padre Balli Park. January 2006 - completion of the Padre Island seawall parking lot. FUNDING: N/A. RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION: Staff recommends Council approval of the restriction of vehicular traffic in front of the seawall and south of Packery Channel and north of the Padre Island seawall. This action keeps faith with the intent of all of the agreements and understandings made in 1995 and 1996 among all the parties. With existing rules. regulations, and statutes, vehicular access to the beach will be provided at both ends of the seawall. The recently completed seawall parking lot soon enhances access to the beach. The vehicular restriction south of Packery Channel and north of Padre Balli Park is conditioned on the development being brought to fruition. Making the areas vehicle free should work well with and complement the Packery Channel project that we anticipate to be a tremendous recreational draw. The public referendum requirement will allow the public to determine the appropriateness of further restrictions conditioned on the actual restriction of vehicles from the beach between Packery Channel and Padre Balli Park with all challenges concluded. ~!AOmdL . Gary W. Smith Assistant City Attorney BACKGROUND INFORMA liON The North Padre Island seawall was constructed in the late 1960's and, after a court settlement between the seawall owners and the State of Texas represented by the Texas General Land Office in 1974, beach access and parking in the area has always been in question. In the early 1990's, two issues came together that became the driving factors for the resolution of the seawall issues. Both issues arose because of the eroding beach in front of the seawall. As the beach narrowed, it became practically impossible to have parking, vehicular movement and beach usage at that location. Secondly, the state's 200 foot rolling beach easement slowly moved westward to the point that it infringed on the private property west of and adjacent to the seawall and for all practical purposes stopped all development or sale of the property because of the inability to acquire title insurance. During 1992, 1993, and 1994, City staff, City Council and various boards and commissions of the City met with all of the interested groups including representatives of members of our legislative delegation to reach some consensus. On May 8, 1995, SB1688 was passed by the Texas Legislature and subsequently signed by the Governor. That bill sought not only to take care of the parking and access issue of the beach but also to protect the private property interests behind the seawall. The bill provided that the line of vegetation would be designated along the seaward side of the seawall provided that: A. a perpetual easement has been granted in favor of the public affording pedestrian, noncommercial use along and over the entire length of the seawall and adjacent sidewalk by the general public; B. fee title to the surface estate to an area for public parking and other public uses adjacent to the seawall has been conveyed to and accepted by a public entity, which area contains sufficient acreage to provide at least one parking space for each 15 linear feet of the seawall, is located within the center one-third of the length of the seawall, and has frontage on the seawall for at least 300 linear feet; and C permanent roadway easements exist within 1,000 feet of each end of the seawall affording vehicular access from the nearest public road to the beach. The conditions were met by the property owners along the seawall providing both a perpetual easement for the public on the seawall and by providing a roadway easement on the north end of the seawall (a public roadway already existed on the south end of the seawall). In addition, the property owners raised $450,000 to purchase sufficient property to provide to the City for public parking. Unfortunately, the only piece of property that could be purchased lay on the edge of the center third of the seawall and, after discussions with the Attorney General's office. HB2847 was passed on April 25, 1997, which amended SB1688 to allow for property within the center third of the seawall or within 300 feet thereof. It was the understanding of everyone concerned with the issues that once the parking was constructed and the beach access on both ends of the seawall put into place, that the City would restrict vehicular traffic from in front of the seawall. The City Council had clearly declared that intent in the adoption of dune protection and beach access regulation on February 21, 1995. Various state agencies offered assistance in finding funding for the parking; however, none was forthcoming. On April 7, 2001, the voters of the City of Corpus Christi approved the creation of a Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) District to undertake the Packery Channel project. Included within the TIF district were two projects, Packery Channel and construction of the seawall parking area After exhaustive public hearings on a comprehensive plan for Mustang and Padre Isands, on April 20, 2004, the City Council adopted the Mustang-Padre Area Development Plan that Included policy statement C.15, which stated: The highest priority for provision of beach parking is on existing City land located adjacent to the seawall for a 300-space parking lot. In order to create a safe day- use beach area in front of the seawall, traffic will be prohibited once a public parking area is constructed. On Tuesday, September 13, 2005, the Corpus Christi City Council unanimously approved a construction contract in the amount of approximately $450,000 to construct the parking on the City property on the seawall as had been contemplated for over 10 years. Construction of the parking lot was completed in early 2006. Section 15.7(h) of the Beach and Dune Rules established by the Texas General Land Office, under the authority of the Texas Open Beaches Act, authorizes local governments, with the prior approval of the General Land Office, to close portions of the public beach to vehicular traffic, if adequate parking is provided on or adjacent to the beach to accommodate one car for each 15 linear feet of beach that is closed. The City has constructed the parking lot that will accommodate cars in excess of the minimum number required by the Beach and Dune Rules, and the parking lot is adequate to provide parking for at least one car for each 15 feet of beach seaward of the concrete seawall where it is proposed to eliminate vehicular traffic. (The minimum number of required parking spaces is 282.) Ingress and egress access to the beach is provided for vehicles at each end of the seawall, and access to the beach is provided for pedestrians along the entire length of the seawall by a perpetual easement that has been granted in favor of the public affording pedestrians noncommercial use along and over the entire length of the seawall and adjacent sidewalk. Once vehicular traffic is eliminated from in front of the seawall, signs will be conspicuously posted to explain the nature and extent of vehicular controls, parking areas, and access points. The elimination of vehicular traffic on that portion of the public beach seaward of the Padre Island seawall will provide a family safe area for the public to use the beach without being exposed to the dangers posed by vehicles driving on the beach; and the public's right to access is protected by the existing access and the availability of public parking adjacent to the public beach and seawall. There will be handicapped accessibility from the parking lot to the seawall and staff is working on the engineering for handicapped accessibility from the seawall to the beach, which will be in a future phase of the project. Developments have been proposed for the area adjacent to the beach, south of Packery Channel and north of the Padre Island seawall, and for the area adjacent to the beach and south of the Padre Island seawall. The developers have represented to the City and public that the developments are not feasible if traffic is not restricted from the public beach adjacent to each development. The completion of the Packery Channel improvements and the development of the two areas, coupled with the popularity of that section of public beach between Packery Channel and Padre Balli Park, will greatly increase the use of the beach segments. An overwhelming public safety issue will be created by the mix of high intensity pedestrian use of the beach and vehicular traffic on the beach. To mitigate the public safety risk, traffic will be restricted to parking lots on and adjacent to the beach at each end of the Padre Island seawall. This restriction will not be effective until the requisite parking lots have been constructed, the plan is approved by the General Land Office, and the developments reach established "milestones" in construction that assure that the projects, and the benefits anticipated therefrom, will be brought to fruition. To further enhance the resort destination appearance and atmosphere of the beach adjacent to the proposed development and Padre Island seawall, upon restricting vehicles from the beach, the beach will be regulated as a Pedestrian Safe Beach. Certain activities are further regulated on a Pedestrian Safe Beach. Personal watercraft and other motorized vessels may not be operated within 1,000 feet of the Pedestrian Safe Beach. Fires, camping, mobile vendors, and livestock are prohibited on a Pedestrian Safe Beach. Dogs are required to be kept on leashes or other physical restraint. Under the existing regulations, camping and fires would not be allowed adjacent to a home, condominium or hotel; dogs must be restrained or under the owner's control; vessels, including surf boards, are not allowed within 50 feet of a swimmer or other vessel; and vessels towing a person are not allowed to operate within 1,000 feet of the shore The proposed ordinance calls an election to present to the voters the question of amending the Charter to require public approval at a special election before vehicles may be restricted from any other beach segments. This election requirement will not be required until the vehicular traffic is actually restricted from the beach segments and all challenges to the vehicular restriction have been finally resolved. The election is proposed for November 7, 2006, and will be held in conjunction with the general election held on that date.
