S r t i 3 t On July 8, 1997, the Governor signed Senate Bill] in the City's Public Works lunchroom. Among those in attendance were (pictured from left to right): Council Members Cindy Sparkman, Cindy Neal, and Patrick Starich, Mayor Teresa Fogler, City Secretary Kaylynn Holloway, Governor Bush, Deputy Director of Pub- lic Works Jerry Burns, and Public Works Director Edward Menville. Also there, but not shown, were Senator J.E. "Buster" Brown, Senator Jon Lindsay, and Representatives Ron Lewis, Bobby Cook, Charlie Howard, Kyle Janek and Gary Wach.

"The City has been able to shift some of the taxes previously paid for main- tenance and operations to debt service. Our projects included a 22 cent rate for operations, but we were able to reduce the cost of service and reduce the main- tenance property tax rate to 21 cents." says Walter Thomas, the City's Finance Director. Thomas also points out that assessed values have grown faster than antici- pated in the projections prepared when the bonds were approved. "We expected the total taxable as- sessed value of the City to be $1.4 bil- lion in 1998; it now looks like the ac- tual value will be very close to $1.5 billion, Walter continued."

Senior Calender 7 Inside Council Chambers Page 2 546M ffx %tv" 14, By: Mayor Teresa Fogler I read with interest a recent article in an area publication which sought to link a decline in new home construc- tion in West University Place to an or- dinance passed in January of this year commonly known as the "80% rule." Although often misunderstood, the "80% rule" does not regulate the foot- print of a building, but the total inte- rior, framed square footage of a build- ing, linking it to the size of the lot on which it is built. Council member Patrick Starich, who served on the Zon- ing & Planning Commission during the development of the framed area concept, the lengthy public hearing process, and the ultimate passage of the ordinance, is quoted extensively in the article. He points out that density of new homes has become an issue of concern to many of our residents, and that there was a strong showing of public support for restricting the size of new homes. In February, writing about the various achievements of volunteer boards in our community, I singled out the Zoning and Planning Commission for its approach stating "Their drive to find a way to pre- serve the ambiance of West U without adversely impacting property values culminated in their proposal to limit the total framed area of a home, relative to Continued on page 4 - L-_ar r- By: Council Member Patrick Starich I have lived in West U for nine years; almost longer than I have lived any other place but my childhood home. One of the attributes of West Univer- sity Place that caught my attention be- fore I became a resident was how friendly West U people seemed to be, even from a distance. After Marie and I moved to Houston from Corpus Christi in 1986, we used to drive through West University Place now and then and see lots of people outside on pleasant evenings standing in groups talking, walking together, or assembled at a little league game or soccer event. It reminded me of where I used to live as a kid in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So, in 1988, we decided to make West Uni- versity Place our home. Since then we built a home and have been blessed with two beautiful children; Olivia, age five, and Bartholomew, age two. Our kids probably won't truly understand how I r~ 'University tradition great our city is until they grow up and leave home. Some of the friendliest people I have ever met live on the streets around my home. But, our city is small enough that I consider everyone in town my neigh- bor. I think the friendly, neighborly feeling I get in West U is due to some- thing much deeper than simple courtesy. It is a sign of our community's deep and enduring civic pride. West U residents respect each other, we respect our pub- lic and private institutions, and we re- spect our open and democratic govern- mental process. Not many places in our country are like that anymore, especially places surrounded by the nation's fourth largest metropolitan area. We willfully obey the ordinances and rules that gov- ern our community with pride, because we realize responsible behavior makes life easier for everyone else, and it's a great example to our children. We par- lot size. This inventive concept pre- serves choice for the owner of the prop- erty because it does not mandate par- ticular dimensions or changes in set- backs, but prescribes only a ceiling on overall size. They are to be applauded for their fine work." Indeed. My opin- ion has not changed one iota. And, frankly, the facts do not support the link- age alleged between the "80% rule" and the downturn in new home starts in West U. It is true that in 1993, 150 permits were issued for new homes. But it is also true that in 1994, 133 permits were issued; ticipate in the process of government, because we respect it and believe it works. When we, the residents, extend friendship to the community the com- munity is friendly to us in return. This makes our city a very special place and it makes me glad I live here. Friends often give each other gifts and West University Place is a city of gifted people. Each of us has some special tal- ent for generating good ideas, planning, organizing, executing a project, or just a vision to contribute in a public forum. These are exactly the gifts your city al- ways needs. I'd like to invite you to participate directly in our city govern- ment. Every two years in August we appoint residents to sit on the various committees, boards, and commissions that advise and assist the city council.

The following questions and/or com- ments were received in response to the Citizen's Survey mailed out early this year. We'll publish many of your ques- tions and comments in this and future editions of City Currents. Comment: Setbacks do not seem to be strictly enforced with construction. Response: Setbacks (distance from frontproperty line to the build- ing line) are set in accordance with lot depth: 20 feet if the building site depth is 110 feet but not more than 125 feet; 30 feet if the building site depth is more than 125 feet, etc. If lots on the same block are not the same depth, the front setback will not be uniform. The "established building line " regu- lation was deleted from the zoning or- dinance on July 27, 1972, by Ordinance Number 1436 This primarily kept all front setbacks in a row regardless of lot depths. Side setbacks are determined by lot width and are strictly enforced absent a variance granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Dennis D. Holin, Sr. Chief Building Official Comment: Speed limit laws are not in line with the City of Houston and the City of Bellaire - thus, W.U.P. is a vir- tual "speed trap". Response: Speed limit laws in West U are established for residential areas at 30 mph. tinely refer Seniors to the WantAd sec- tion of The Village News. Of course, we cannot guarantee the reliability of these handymen. However, we do re- ceive feedback from our Seniors and most of the time, it is favorable. Also, if a Senior is not able to make inquiry calls, we are happy to make them after the Senior decides who should be asked to do the job. The Senior is always included in the process. Sharon Reusser Senior Services Manager Comment: Need to keep kids off ten- nis courts when they are not playing ten- nis; bikes, skates, skateboards off courts, nets in good repair. Swim pool needs AM open swim hours. Response: Chapter 16 in the City's Code of Ordinances states that tennis courts are to be used for tennis only. This means that bikes, roller blades, and skate boards are not al- lowed. Signs have been posted alerting citizens of this policy. Please remind violators of this or notes the Police or the Parks and Recreation of- fice of any violators. Many citizens have inquired about AM open swim hours during the summer. Currently, the schedule is: 5:30 AM - 7: 00 AM Adult Lap Swim 7: 00 AM -9: 00AM Swim Team 9:15 AM - 11: 45AM Swim Lessons NOON - 7:3 0 PM Open Swim 7:3 0 PM - 10: 00 PM Adult Lap Swim Stephen Griffith Police Chief Comment: It would be nice if Se- nior Services had a list of reliable handymen for small jobs. We should have some retirees who would be glad of a bit of extra money. Answer: Senior Services has a list of three to four volunteers who are avail- able to do small repair jobs at no cost (except for supplies) to the Senior. If the job is too large or involved, we rou- In a citizen survey that was conducted in September 1996, residents were asked if they would be in favor of an AM open swim if it meant that swim teams, exercise classes, and/or swim lessons were eliminated or curtailed. Eighty- one percent responded that they would prefer the current schedule as opposed to changing or eliminating programs. Mark Mailes Parks and Recreation Director MPLOYEE ri-JOTLIGHT Manual Lofton holds the longest work tenure in the City's Public Works Street Department - 30 years. As a young man, Manual worked on the farms in the Simenton/Fulsher area where he was born, raised, married and settled down. It was there that he heard about the job opening at West Univer- sity Place from some employees who lived near him. "We use to carpool when Westheimer was a dirt road up to the City of Bellaire, he recalled." Manual joined the Public Works De- partment on his 28th birthday, Decem- ber 26. He was hired in the Street Divi- sion where he is still employed to this day. He is very well-liked in the City and has proven his dedication to no end. "Manual is an extremely hard worker and very loyal to the City. His "can-do" attitude exemplifies what type of em- ployees we have in our department," said Jerry Burns, Deputy Director of Public Works. "Manual's loyalty is proven daily as he travels 70 miles round trip to work and is hardly ever tardy. We are fortunate to have him as part of the Public Works team," raved Burns. When not working, Manual enjoys spending time with his wife, Brenda Joyce and attending church related func- tions and activities. Manual says he doesn't have any plans to retire just yet, and we are sure glad to hear that! Mayor continued from page 2 - in 1995, 69 permits were issued; and in 1996, 64 permits were issued. The de- cline from 150 to 64 permits for new homes occurred BEFORE the 1180% rule" took effect. In fact, in 1995, new home permits declined to 69 in num- ber-before the concept of a limitation on framed area had even been dis- cussed, let alone implemented. A recent report presented to Council by staff estimates between 60 and 70 new home permits will be issued this year an amount roughly equal to 1996. More importantly, the average value of new homes being built in 1997 is in excess of $304,000 each, compared with $285,000 each in 1996. In other words, although a control now exists on the size of a new home, the average value of the new homes being built has actually risen. Officials in our build- ing inspection office report that fami- lies who desire larger homes are still building them-on the larger lots. Clearly, there is not yet any docu- mentable negative impact on our com- munity as a result of the passage of the "80% rule." The impact claimed in the referenced article appears to be based solely on the complaints of a few build- ers who now find it less attractive to build here. For each one of them, how- ever, there is at least one quality, com- munity-minded builder working in our city who will simply follow the rules and go on with business. As council stated when the "80% rule" was passed last January, we will be watching for an impact. We will be watching property values. We will be watching housing starts. We will be watching assessed values. If and when there is real cause for concern, we will know, and we will act accordingly. Until then, our residents seem satisfied with the action taken to lower density, and to increase green space, light, and air. I know I am. business West U in early 1930's As West U grew in the 1930's, shops sprang up to serve the residents of the burgeoning city. The shopping center in the 3600 block of University Boule- vard opened in 1930. The Houston City Business Directory for that year shows that the first business in this block be- longed to E. A. Kamp, a grocer. By 1936, there were six businesses on the north side of this block. At the cor- ner of Edloe and University was Read's Pharmacy, complete with a soda foun- tain. Next door was Erwin's IGA gro- cery store. Next to the store was the University Barber and Beauty Shop. Next in line was the West University Cafe, run by the Cecil F. Emmons fam- ily. Mr Emmons was one of the volun- teer firemen for the city at that time. Then there was the University Clean- ers, a dry cleaners and laundry. At the end was the University Pastry Shoppe run by Al DuBose. Around 1937, a movie theatre called the Nan Gray Theatre opened up next door to the grocery store. Their Satur- day cartoons and movies were a favor- ite entertainment of the neighborhood children.
