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. r r r 6229 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. 6230 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. Councilwoman Wilbanks moved to study and to have the matter placed Council meeting; Councilman Kimmons vote follows: Ayes: Council members Kimmons, Nays: Councilman Lander Mayor Gentry table the matter for further on the agenda for the next seconded the motion. The Kloesel, Wilbanks and Hutto Ordinance - Contract Between BAWA and Underwood, Neuhaus and Company, Inc. Underwood, Neuhaus and Company, Inc. is the City of Baytown's financial advisor. The Board of Directors of the Baytown Area Water Authority have considered the proposal of Underwood, Neuhaus and have recommended that this proposal be accepted; the Administration concurred in that recommendation. �1 it r 6231 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 9, 1976 Councilman Kimmons moved to adopt the ordinance authorizing the execution of a financial advisory contract between Underwood, Neuhaus and Company, Inc. and the Baytown Area Water Authority; Councilman Hutto seconded the motion.

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: Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Wilbanks and Hutto Mayor Gentry Nays: Councilman Kloesel 7 6235 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 9, 1976 RESOLUTION NO. 542 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS, SETTING FORTH DESIRED PRIORITIES FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN; AND THE BAYTOWN AREA; DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND THE CITY CLERK TO ATTEST THIS RESOLUTION; DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO FORWARD COPIES OF THE SAME TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPOR- TATION, COUNTY OF HARRIS; AND PROVIDING FOR THE EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. 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. Councilman Kloesel moved to adopt the plans and specifications and to authorize the advertisement for bids; Councilman Hutto seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Kloesel, Wilbanks and Hutto Mayor Gentry Nays: None Bids will be received October 5, 1976, and a recommendation will be made at the first Council meeting in October. 6236 Minutes of the Regular Meeting - September 9, 1976 Appointments to the Baytown Area Water Authority Councilwoman Wilbanks moved to reappoint Paul R. Jason and Peter R. Buenz to the BAWA Board, two members who are cur- rently serving; Councilman Kimmons seconded the motion. The vote follows: Ayes: Council members Lander, Kimmons, Kloesel, Wilbanks and Hutto Mayor Gentry Nays: None Committee Reports None. Unfinished Business Mayor Gentry requested that the Council confirm the appoint- ment of Mrs. Ruby Hartrick to the Senior Citizen's Transportation Committee to fill the vacancy on the Committee due to the death of Mr. Stolhandske. Councilman Kloesel moved to confirm the appointment of Mrs. Hartrick; Councilman Lander seconded the motion.
