Mayor McDonaldannounced the public hearing on the application of Woodrow Greenwood for a change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Business District on a portion of the West k of Lots 1 and 2, Block 3, Colonia Hidalgo Addition. J. T. Dunkin, City Planner, located the property on the map as being in the 1100 block of Lexington on which Roy's Bar-B-Que is presently located; and explained that the application covers that portion of the lots not taken by the right-of-way for the widening of Lexington Boulevard, He further explained that although neither the applicant nor his representative had appeared at the Commission hearing, one person had appeared in favor, two written returns had been received in favor, and one against the application; and that he understood that the application for the "B-4" zoning had been made for the purpose of con- structing motel accommodations for colored people. He pointed out that the Zon- ing & Planning Commission recommended the application be denied since neither the applicant nor his representative had appeared before the Commission at two of the public hearings to discuss the application, the Commission has not been presented plans for the proposed use or development of this property, and the applicant had not submitted a valid filing fee, but added that since this recom- mendation, a valid filing fee has been received. No one appeared in connection with this application, AND Passed Motion by Barnard, seconded by Young that/the hearing on this appli- cation be recessed pending additional information from the applicant showing the need for the requested zoning. • Regular Council Meeting January 31, 1962 Page 2a Mayor McDonald announced the Council would hold the public hearing scheduled for 3 o'clock, p.m., on the assessments for the proposed improvements of Fourteenth Street, from Buford Street to Craig Street, and of Power Street, from Tancahua Street to Oso Street. Jack Graham, Director of Public Works, explained that the improvements are being made in each case on petition of the abutting property owners for such improvements under this Council's Voluntary Street Improvement Assessment Program, and that 100, of the abutting property owners on both sides of the streets to be so improved have already signed voluntary mechanic's liens or personal notes for the payment of their pro rata share of the costs involved. Mr. Graham presented the plans for the improvements and the preliminary assessment roll; explained the nature, extent and specifications of the proposed improvements; the cost of con- struction; the amount of cost to be borne by the City, and the amount to be assess- ed against the abutting property owners; the manner in which such pro rata share was computed; and the various methods of payment which a property owner may elect to use for satisfying his assessment. W. A. (Bill) Roberts testified as to his background and experience which he felt qualified him as a real estate appraiser for all types of properties in this City; testified that he had personally viewed and understood the extent and specifications of the proposed improvements; that he had personally viewed within the past week the assessment roll and each of the properties to be assessed; and least that in his opinion, each of the properties so assessed would be enhanced in value at/ to the extent of the proposed assessment, with no exceptions. City Attorney Singer asked if anyone in the audience had any questions or objections to offer with regard to any of the proposed improvements or assess- ments relative to the project. No one appeared. Mayor McDonald declared the hearing closed. Regular Council Meeting January 31, 1962 Page #3 Mayor McDonald called for the City Manager's Reports.
