City Manager's Report
Harris County Community Development Funds - The Administration
has received communication from the Harris County Community Develop-
ment Agency to the effect that Baytown will receive $299,064 in
Community Development Funds, which is more than the original estimate
of $180,000. The Planning Department of the City of Baytown is work-
ing with County representatives to develop recommendations for the
expenditure of these funds, and from time to time recommendations
will be presented to Council for consideration.
Sewer Line Collapse - A sewer line has collapsed on Bob Smith
Road and is being televised to determine the extent of damage.
6228
Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 9, 1976
1976 Street Improvement Program - Phase I - Brown and Root,
Inc. has completed all of the lime stabilization. Over fifty (50 %)
per cent of the streets have been surfaced with asphalt, and curb
and gutter is being installed on Ohio and Mississippi.
Sliplining Projects - Eighty -six (86 %) per cent of the work
is complete. The ten (1011) inch lines on Grantham from Pruett
to Columbia is being installed this week, and the contractor will
spend next week making the service taps.
East District Sanitary Sewage Treatment Plant - The work on
this project continues to progress satisfactorily. The project
is approximately eighty (80 %) per cent complete, with sixty -four
(64 %) per cent of the contract time having been used. All major
concrete items have been completed, and the contractor is continuing
to install equipment, piping and electrical facilities.
Jailhouse Ditch Storm Sewer - All the pipe has been installed
and the work which remains is to repair the streets, build curb
inlets, and cleanup. The contract is approximately ninety -five
(9S %) per cent complete.
Hunnicutt Storm Sewer - The storm sewer has been placed from
Danubina to North Third. The work that remains is approximately
1200 feet of 54 inch pipe; approximately 950 feet of 36 inch branch
lines on North First Street; also several inlets and cleanup. This
project is approximately seventy -five (75 %) complete.
Tennis Court Lighting at Duke Hill Park and Travis School Park -
All the work, with the exception of one part, has been completed.
This part will be delivered next week, and the lights will be in
service.
Sterling Municipal Library - The structural steel has been
erected; the metal deck was to be completed today; the roof fill
will begin tomorrow; and masonry work has begun.
In response to questions from Council, the Administration
explained that it was necessary to cut into a portion of Garth
Road in order to make an eight inch tap for the apartments on
Northwood. With regard to the 1976 Street Improvement Program,
the contractor is ahead of schedule; therefore, the curb and
gutter crew was moved out of town, but the contractor has moved
the crew back and the Administration has asked that the crew
remain until the work is completed.
Claude Jackson - General Telephone Company of the Southwest
Mr. Claude Jackson, Division Manager of General Telephone
Company of the Southwest, appeared before Council to announce the
grand opening on October 15, 1976, of a residential phone mart at
the Woodcreek Center. Mr. Jackson explained the phone mart will
provide an alternate method for establishing, changing, moving,
disconnecting, and applying for residential telephone service with
a savings of $5.00 to customers who elect to use the phone mart.
In the initial phase, when the home is converted to the phone -mart
system, the telephone company will install, with no charge to the
customer, one jack for each telephone installed. At a later date,
if another jack is required for extension service, there would be
a $5.00 charge as opposed to the $25.00 for regular installation.
There is also the advantage of shopping at your leisure to select
the phone that would best suit your home's decor. If the customer
has a problem with a telephone under this new system, the phone can
be delivered to the phone mart for repair and another phone provided.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 9, 1976
On installations in new homes using the phone -mart system,
there is still the $5.00 savings with a $20.00 savings for exten-
sion service. The difference being that the telephone company
is modifying the hardware used, and initially there will be no
charge for this service, but subsequent to that the customer
would pay the regular jack rate. The $5.00 difference is being
absorbed by the company to promote this new concept.
Mrs. Ruby Hardy
Was not present.
Arthur Morgan - Violation of the Code of Ordinances
Mr. Morgan was still concerned with the curb which was discussed
at the regular meeting of City Council on Thursday, August 26, 1976,
and asked that immediate action be taken to have the curb adjusted
to commercial status since he was certain that the dwelling was com-
mercial and not residential.
Also, Mr. Morgan made reference to a permit which was issued
last week (he did not specify to whom or for what purpose) which he
felt should not have been issued. He went on to say that an appraisal
of his home revealed that the home had depreciated $2,000 in value
because of the business located next door. He also indicated that
he not only was unable to get some positive action from the Adminis-
tration in this regard, but he was being discriminated against and
wanted the whole situation corrected.
Report on Petition Requesting Alteration in Building Set Back
Reauirements
At the last regular meeting, a petition was received from resi-
dents along Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Streets, who reside in Outlawn
Terrace Subdivision. In this petition, a request was made that this
area be exempt from the requirement that carports must be constructed
at least fifteen (15) feet from the curb line. Neel Richardson,
City Attorney, explained that the research of the legal department
in this regard revealed that if Council were to make a variance
within a particular subdivision, the particular building ordinance
which was changed would not be enforceable in the remainder of the
subdivision, and a serious question would be raised as to the
enforceability of the ordinance throughout the entire city. Basi-
cally, building set back lines are adopted as a result of the city's
police power, that is its power to regulate the use of property,
considering the health, safety and welfare of the people. Mr.
Richardson went on to explain that there are many cases that up-
hold such ordinances, but basically this is a question for Council
to determine when an ordinance is adopted, and Council has deter-
mined in the past that for the health, safety and welfare of the
people such set back lines were desirable. To rule now that this
requirement is not desirable for one particular house or subdivision
would jeopardize the enforceability of the set back requirement
throughout the city.
Councilman Kloesel said that because of the differences in
subdivisions throughout the city, a majority of the people in a
subdivision should be able to request or petition a variance or
exemption, especially in this case with the lots in this subdivision
being so small. Councilman Kloesel then moved to grant Outlawn
Terrace Subdivision an exception to allow five -foot set back lines
in this subdivision; Councilman Hutto seconded this motion.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 9, 1976
In response to an inquiry from Council Mr. Richardson explained
the difference between deed restrictions, a covenant between people,
and an ordinance adopted by the City Council which is for the pro-
tection of the health, safety and welfare of the people. Deed
restrictions may be altered among residents of a subdivision, but
this is not what is being discussed at the present time. What is
being discussed is an ordinance that a Council in the past felt
was for the protection of the people; whether it be for esthetics,
open space, freedom of movement, safety of children, etc., there
is a distinction between a deed restriction and a building line
set back requirement of an ordinance. Councilman Kloesel said
that he was aware of the difference and that he was addressing
himself to changing the ordinance because land in this subdivision
was at a premium. Also, where apartment projects are concerned,
the apartments are set back as required, but there is the problem
of dense population.
At this point Council inquired as to the percentage of people
residing in the subdivision who had signed the petition. Mrs.
Robert Wall, 1702 North Fifty, responded to this inquiry. All
persons were contacted on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Streets, even
though Seventh is no longer included as part of Outlawn Terrace.
Everyone on Fifth and Sixth Streets signed the petition with the
exception of three people who were out of town at the time. Mrs.
Wall pointed out that deed restrictions for the subdivision have
been broken. Then she added that homes in the subdivision were
built ten (101) feet apart with no room for expansion, other than
to enclose the garage. For this very reason, as well as the fact
that the carport and patio act as a buffer against the sun, the
Wall's enclosed their garage and had a carport and patio area con-
structed. This construction is in violation of the current set
back requirements. Mrs. Wall maintained, however, that the carport
was structurally sound, esthetically pleasing to the eye, and
did not produce a health hazard; therefore, she did not understand
the problem. Especially, since there are violations of this type
all over the city.
Mayor Gentry explained that one problem would be the ability
to obtain FHA financing on a home that did not meet FHA standards.
Also, if one subdivision were exempt from the provisions of the
ordinance, then probably the ordinance should be changed completely
so that all subdivisions could have the same set back requirements;
however, Council was not certain that the majority of the people
wanted this change and this was something that would be very dif-
ficult to ascertain. Even if Council only elected to exempt
Outlawn Terrace, according to the City Attorney, the enforceability
of the ordinance would be questionable.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 9, 1976
Resolution No. 544 - Establishing Priorities for the 1977 -78 Urban
System Program
Each year the City Council is asked by the highway department
to indicate priorities of projects that the City of Baytown would
like to have funded under the Federal Aid Urban System Program.
This is the program under which Bayway Drive is being constructed.
The Planning Department has developed recommendations with which
the Administration concurs. The Administration has been asked to
keep each project below $1,500,000; the cost of Bayway Drive will
be approximately $1,200,000. The first priority has been divided
into three phases as follows:
Phase 1: The continuation of Bayway Drive from Crow Road
to the proposed realignment.
Phase 2: From the proposed realignment to Market Street.
Phase 3: Market Street /West Main to Loop 201.
The second priority recommended is North Main Street from Loop 201
to Interstate 10. Council was assured that by the city listing
priorities in this manner no problems would be caused should the
county hold another bond election as far as having North Main
included.
As far as the manner in which the phases are listed under
Priority No. 1, probably Phase No. 1 would be funded first since
it is unlikely that all three phases would be funded at one time.
Since this was the case, Council discussed the possibility of
moving Phase 3 into the Phase 1 position; that is Market Street/
West Main to Loop 201 since this particular portion is heavily
travelled and is in need of repair. The Administration felt that
it would be possible to get the County to perform the necessary
improvements in this area and that the possibility of getting the
highway department to continue the Bayway Drive Project would be
better than to move to a new location. Mayor Gentry indicated
that to receive funding for Phase 1 as recommended would be better
than to eliminate the possibility of funding altogether by recom-
mending something that would not be acceptable to the highway
department. Besides Council at this point was only suggesting
priorities with Phase I being the main consideration and at some
later date Council could consider the realignment question.
In response to a question from Council, Bill Cornelius,
Director of Planning, explained that Bayway Drive is now included
on the Urban System Map and that the City would be requesting that
North Main be included. He also explained that these were only
suggested projects, and the highway department would be making the
ultimate decision on which projects to include and the costs of
the projects. By these projects being included under the Federal
Aid Urban System Program does not preclude county or city financing.
Councilman Kimmons moved to adopt the resolution; Councilman
Lander seconded the motion.
Councilman Kloesel commented that he was not in favor of
Phase 2, the realignment of Bayway Drive. The vote follows:

Plans and Specifications - Authorization to Advertise for Bids
on Bob Smith Road Drainage Ditch
Jim Hutchison, with the firm of Busch, Hutchison and Associates,
Inc., explained that this project was authorized under the 1975 Bond
Program, and that it will be the fifth storm sewer project under
this program. The project involves laying a storm sewer line in
the existing ditch line along the south side of Bob Smith Road
from a point just east of the railroad to and across North Main
Street with an out£all into an existing Harris County Control
Ditch at that point. The pipe ranges from seventy -two (72 ") inches
to thirty -six (36 ") inches in size. In the original plans, the
project began at the railroad, but in order to alleviate additional
drainage problems, the project will be extended to pick up drainage
in the vicinity of Walker Road which is the first street up Bob
Smith Road from the railroad; and also from the vicinity of Mabry
Road to the Southeast of the Bob Smith Road - railroad intersection.
The city recently reworked the railroad ditch and the engineers
have sized the pipes t6 handle what will drain from these additional
area, as well as what will drain the Glen Meadow and Fair Park Sub-
divisions. The estimated cost of this project is $343,800.00 with
$318,800 being attributed to construction costs and $24,000 for
engineering, surveying and inspection. After explaining the over-
all project, Mr. Hutchison went through the plans with Council,
sheet by sheet. The first sheet begins at the intersection of
Bob Smith Road with North Main Street. This is the location where
Bob Smith is crossed to get to the north side for approximately
500 feet due to an existing storm sewer on the south side. North
Main Street will be crossed in line with the north side of Bob
Smith Road. At about 500 feet from North Main the storm sewer
crosses back to the south side and continues on that side the
remainder of the distance of the project. There are area inlets
placed in the top of the pipe so that surface water drainage from
the side areas will spill into this storm sewer. This is the reason
no curbs and gutters are provided. The backfill will form into
sort of a swale so that it will carry water to area inlets and
into the system. Water from the north side of the road will be
diverted into this storm sewer. The crossing of Main Street will
have to be an "open cut" situation, but the contractor will be
required to keep at least two lanes of traffic open at all times.
After Mr. Hutchison's presentation, Mr. Lanham recommended
approval of the plans based on a thorough study of the plans by
the Engineering and Public Works Departments. Council was con-
cerned with funding, but Mr. Lanham explained that plans were
being developed for another bond sale early next year.
