JOINT PUBLIC HEARING
ZONING AND PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1987
7:00 P.M.
J
City Council convened jointly with the Zoning and Planning Commission
in the City Hall Council Chamber, 3800 University Boulevard, in the
City of West University Place, on Monday, February 9, 1987, with the
following members present: Mayor Pro Tern Higley, presiding;
Councilmembers Bryan, Schwartzel, and Thompson. Mayor Parks came in
late. Zoning and Planning Commission members present were: Reid
Wilson. Chairman; Robert Lindsey, Charles M. Lusk, III, Stephen
Munisteri, Susan K. Rachlin and George Ruhlen. Buddy Bell came in
late. Also present were the City Manager, City Attorney, City
Secretary, and the Director of Operations. Mayor Pro Tern Higley
delivered the invocation and led the Allegiance to the Flag.
Mayor Pro Tern Higley called to order the joint public hearing for
the purpose of hearing parties-in-interest and citizen comments in
relation to a proposed update to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Pro Tern Higley asked Zoning and Planning Commission
Chairman, Reid Wilson, to make introductory remarks relating to
the proposed Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Wilson explained to the audience that the Comprehensive Plan
was a document representing the basic theoretical framework around
which the Zoning Ordinance language is drafted. The City's
existing Comprehensive Plan is a statement of what exists in the
City rather than a conceptual statement to serve as a guide for
the City's future development. The Zoning and Planning Commission
viewed the changing nature of developmental trends in surrounding
areas and felt the need to deal with changes to provide protection
to West University Place's single family residential character.
From this base, Zoning and Planning Commission worked from the
theory that the only appropriate location for non-residential land
use remains in the peripheral areas and the central downtown of
West University Place. The proposed Comprehensive Plan does not
in any way expand the non-residential land use-into the single
family districts. West University Place is essentially and
historically a city of residences, a city of homes, and as such,
needs to maintain this predominant character.
o
Procedural issues were addressed. Mayor Pro Tem Higley requested
those who wished to speak to walk to the microphone, state his or
her name and address, and then state the comment or question.
Copies of the proposed Comprehensive Plan were available to all
members of City Council and the Zoning and Planning Commission and 10
a reasonable number of additional copies available to interested
citizens present. Mayor Pro Tem Higley opened the floor for
questions.

The following residents commented on the comprehensive plan.
Alice Beaver, 6421 Sewanee, asked that consideration be given to
changing Section 1-02 (a) to read "The City is historically known
as the "City of Homes." Also, that Section 1-02 (b) be changed to
read "The City's greatest strength and its most well known
characteristic is its aggressive protection of the single family
. residential districts by zon'ing, building and related ordinances
and other land use polic~es.
Kate Thomas, 2720 Werlien, asked for clp.rifications of Section
3-02. PERIPHERAL DEVELOPMENT. She specifically questioned 3-02
(c) "The type of development appropriate to particular portions of
the Periphery Corridors related to the nature of development on
the opposite side of the Peripheral Street," and (b) "to mitigate
these detrimental effects on the City and the Periphery
Corridors". Mrs. Thomas felt that Subsection (d) of 3-02
encouraged rezoning by the reference to Planned Development
Districts.

\-.-.J
Mr. Wilson responded that a Planned Development District is
essentially nothing more than a type of zoning which allows some
flexibility. To develop a PDD requires notices, hearings, but a
PDD is not a tool to change's i ng1 e family res'identi al di stri cts
but to allow good development in the commercial districts.
Bob Thomas, 2720 Werlien, asked if after the Comprehensive Plan,
we would then go into the zoning o.rdinance?Wjll that be an
actual graphics plan?
George Ruhlen,responded that the Comprehensive Plan was the first
step to be accomplished. After that, the Zoning Ordinance
revision would be considered. The third item to complete the
zoning procedure would bea 'Zoning district map. The zoning map
had not been changed.
Scott Badger, 6723 Annapolis, expressed his concern that the
proposed comprehensive plan would be an encouragement to
commercial development rather than a restriction.
. (. f ~

'--'
Stephen Muni'steri' respondedthattheComprehens i ve Pl an was not a
change to what is currently zoned in the city. This document will
not make any area commercial that is not already commercial and
this document will not have any effect on the zoning ordinance.
But', what the Comprehensive,Pl1an wilLa llow ,is for the City to
have more restrictions in commercial zones than it has now. What
we are trying to do with the Comprehensive Plan is, to preserve the
security of those people living around commencial districts and
protect them from those commercial developments.
,Bert McDaniel, 2733Werlien,expressed.his.question concerning
Section 2-01 (a)'and.the reference to'~by public and private
investments and improvements". Mr. McDaniel requested
clarification of the definition of a Peripheral Street. Also, in

Section 6-02 and Section 6-03 the Plan stated any "person" could
initiate a change in the Comprehensive Plan or City Council may
act on its own motion or on the request of any "person". Mr.
McDaniel felt person needed a specific definition.
Alan Rize, 2727 Werlien, felt the language of the Comprehensive
Plan was too loose. It needed tighter definitions which he
assumed would be a part of the propbsedzoning ordinance when it
was released.
]
Mayor Parks came in at this time:. 7:30 P.M.
Gene Hines, 3748 Rice Boulevard, asked if this Comprehensive Plan
will be adopted at the same time as the zoning. ordinance
revision.
Mr. Hines was advised that the zoning ordinance revision will be
presented subsequently and considered for adoption separately.
Dixie Weldon, 2823 University, questioned the word intensity as
compared with density.
Dr. Arrighi, 3036 Albans, addressed her comments to Section 1-02
(c) and Section 2-01 (b) and the reference to adverse effects of
non-residential uses. Dr. Arrighi felt that drainage and light
should be considered in those areas adversely effected by
non-residential uses. Also, Section 4-01 should list all the
buildings operated by the City.
o
Benjamin Domingo, 2603 Rice Boulevard, expressed concern of what
he considered inconsistencies and vague language throughout the
Comprehensive Plan. .
Bill Finley, 6345 Belmont, urged consideration be given to the
"large home-small lot" developments. He felt the proposed
Comprehensive Plan would encourage development in the Periphery
Corri dors.
Diane Dahlem, 6120 Lake, thought periphery Corridor should have
the same restrictive language as used in Section 3-01 (b) "the
Central Business Distri~t need not, and should not, be expended
into adjacent single family residential neighborhoods". Mrs.
Dahlem requested more attention be given to precise definitions.
Mr. Wilson addressed the audience. He felt the residents were
unduly concerned that the zoning had been changed. lhe zoning
district map had not been changed. All the Comprehensive Plan
proposes-to do is to protect residential areas from what is now
zoned something other ~han residential. The question of changing
the zoning districts is not before the City Council and Zoning and
Planning Commission tonight and will not be at the public hearing J'I
scheduled for February 23, 1987. The City needs a Comprehensive
Plan, an updated Zoning Ordinance and.a Zoning District Map.
Hopefully, when we are through, the City will have some good

zoning rules. We already have a zoning map. The Comprehensive
Plan needs to provide flexibility ,for future development but does
not deal with specifi~s.
There were no further comments or questions offered from the
audience.
.f!
I I
LJ
Mayor Parks invited comments from the City Council. Councilmember
Schwartzel suggested in Article 2-01 (b), that the following
sentence be added: Single family uses should be protected from
high intensity residential uses and that construction in single
family residential districts should be regulated to ensure the
health, safety and general welfare of adjoining property owners.
Councilmember Schwartzel thought that such a statement would give
the Zoning and Planning Commission the ability to create set
backs. In Section 3-02 (a), the first line might read: the
greatest percentage of commercial-~-add:~--and higher intensity
residential zones---toemphasize planning fo~.townhouse
development. Subsection (~) of the same Section might be
rephrased to read: Known factors that may be relevant in'
determining the type of development appropriate at the particular
portions of Periphery Corridors are historic uses of property,
uses of adjacent residential properties, the size of the property,
the ingress and egress to the'prop.erty and other such factors
related to the nature of development on th'eopposite side of the
street, the traffic flow on the Peripheral Street and any other
negative characteristics of the Peripheral Street. Then add a
sentence such as: The' expansion 'of commercial development., as
opposed to residential developments, all,thoughnotprohibited,
should be discouraged. Councilmember Schwartzel thought these
changes might help residents feel more comfortable that the City
did not plan to commercialize their property, but it would also
provide flexibility for the future.
Councilmember 'Sryansug'gested' a statement be added that residents
are protected from otherre'sidents. Section 6-02: primarily
addresses the people who want changes. It eludes the right of the
people to protest. Theri'ght,toprotest .doe's exist: and perhaps
that fact shoul d be s'tated in 'an appropriate secUon.

Mayor Parks suggested that light, air and water drainage be
incorporated into la,n appropri:ate ,'se'cti on, of theComprehens i ve Pl an
so that, in the finaldocument,.these items are addressed. Mayor
Parks also suggested that Periphery Corridors be defined without
relating to percentages but state: the quality of the City lying
adjacent tothoselstreets as they.n6wexist and: hereafter referred
to as Peri phery, Corri dors. De'fi ne' ,Periphery ,Corri dorsas it is

Councilmember Higleysuggested:in Section 1..,02(a) to change "was"

City Council to not get too'restrictive with the Comprehensive

Mayor Parks thanked the membe'rs of the Zoning and Planning
Commission for the fine work they did drafting the Comprehensive
Pl an. .
Mr. Wilson advised City Council that Zoning and Planning
Commission scheduled a meeting subsequent to the Public Hearing.
At this ,time, Mr-. ,Wils.on, suggested that ,the, commjssion, convene
their meeting in the conference room to review the input from the
Public Hearing. At the conclu,sion of .their review, Zoning and
Planning Commission would come,.'back to, City Council,during the

sundial has been vandalized on several occasions ad this past

The City Secretary responded that on the table were both a publisher's
affidavit and reports from City staff members showing that the required
notices were given. There was also an extra copy of Ordinance Number
1278 on the table.
Chairman Wilson acknowledged the affidavit and reports and stated the
documents were to become a part of the record of the Public Hearing.
Mayor Parks introduced the proposed zoning ordinance and update of the
zoning district map by relating that the present zoning ordinance was
50 years old. Early in the current administration of this City
Council, the Zoning and Planning Commission was asked to review the
zoning ordinance. Later the City was asked to consider a rezoning to
build a multi-story retirement home at the JMH #3 store location.
Members of the Long Range Planning Committee, chaired by Louis Sklar,
reviewed the zoning ordinance. One of their members, Mark Spradling,
actually submitted the first draft of the zoning revisions to the
Zoning and Planning Commission.
Mayor Parks described the existing and proposed maps and mentioned that
if any errors were made in a particular area, the land use will revert
to single family residential. That fact was defined as a protective
provision stated in the proposed zoning ordinance. Mayor Parks turned ',iIJ
the microphone over to Chairman Wilson.
Chairman Wilson addressed the audience. City Council and Zoning and
Planning Commission requested the residents and parties-in-interest
take a comprehensive view of the existing zoning ordinance. The last
major revisions were in the townhouse districts.
The need for the update of the map became apparent with the JMH
rezoning request. Fortunately the City was protected from the proposed
multi-level development. That particular rezoning request was
withdrawn because of public protests. After that time, Zoning and
Planning Commission studied the commercial areas. The Commission
drafted proposed amendments to the commercial zoning districts; held
public hearings; incorporated citizen input from that public hearing in
the proposed commercial draft; and recommended the proposed ordinance
to the City Council. City Council, by ordinance, adopted the
commercial zoning revision which was brought forward, in its entirety,
into the draft before us tonight. We have tried not to change
anything. However, light, air and space requirements have been
increased and the only way to accomplish that was to increase the
setbacks. The Commission's goal was to generally update the zoning
ordinance so that it would be defensible in the courts. Zoning
ordinances from other cities were studied.
At this time, Chairman Wilson reviewed the zoning map, as follows:
The City is zoned into two single family residential districts.
The white area on the map is designated as SF1 district in which
o

any kind of exterior construction material may be used. The blue
area is designated as SF2 district in which 51% of> the exterior is
required to be brick, brick veneer or stone. Both of these
districts are identical under the old and new ordinance.
The following Townhouse Districts as shown on the map were enacted
by ordinances in 1973:
Bellaire Townhouse District 1
Kirby Drive Townhouse District 2
Browning Townhouse District 3
Weslayan Townhouse District 4
Bissonnet Townhouse District 5
Ruskin Townhouse District 6
Mercer Townhouse District 7
The General Townhouse District on Bissonnet was enacted in
1966.
n
LJ
All of these districts were brought forward.
The Comme,rcial: Di stri ct'i sthe same office dj strict on Bell ai re
whi ch was 'enacted in 1968. The JMH#3commerc i a 1 area, the
Downtown, the commercial on Kirby and Bissonnet have been
designated as such since 1937.

Any areai n the City not zoned 'commercial, townhouse~, O.r another
particular zoning, 'revert to slngle family. Single family
residential shoulc;l always be the City's dominant character.
This joint pubHc hearing held before Zoning 'and Planning
Commission and City Gountil was} caJled by. Ordinance Number 1278
for the purpose to provide an opportunity for parties in interest
and citizens to be he'ard in.relation to, the proposed comprehensive
revision of the City's zoning ordinance and an updated zoning
district map. Noticeof:the'public hearing was mailed to each
property owner listed on the City's tax roll and'published in the
paper, all in accordance with Ordinance Number 1278. The
documents certifying compliance with the notice requirements of
Ordinance Number 1278 wi:lll become part of the official record of
th is Pu.b li c Hea ri ng.
After this Public Hearing, the Zoning and Planning Commission will
have meetings, open to the pub 1 ie, weekly. :on Thursday nights. We
anticipate making changes.to the ordinance as heeded. After the
revision is completed, the Commission will submit a report and
make a recommendation to the City Council. It wi 11 be on the City

Council agenda for two meetings and two readings. At this time,
Chairman Wilson opened the' floor for questions and comments.
R. E. Thornton, 3929 Milton, wanted to know if the
residential areas were really protected from commercial
development. Also, he noticed commercial restrictions against
mirrored walls. Mr. Thornton wanted to know if the restriction
applied to mirrored windows.
--I
u
Dixie Weldon, 3834 U~iversity Blvd., referred to the
Comprehensive Plan, Article'2.01 General Polices, subparagraph (a)
and the reference to the existing residential neighborhoods and
residences should be "enhanced". Mrs. Weldon wanted to know if
the word enhanced meant increased in value to raise taxes. Senior
citizens can not keep up with constant improvements to their
homes. Will the senior citizen houses be condemned.
Mayor Parks responded that it was not the intention of the
Comprehensive Plan or the City Council.
Mrs. Weldon requested a light at the intersection of University
Blvd. and Edloe. Also, Section 3.02 of the Comprehensive Plan
addressed Peripheral Development. Mrs. Weldon suggested that
area be patrolled in an effort to keep any unlawful element out of
the City. .
J
Richard Popham, 5321 Sewanee, addressed Special Screens, page
38, and suggested the same- language be included in residential
zoning distri-cts since schools and municipal buildings may be
allowed in single family districts. ' Those structures are likely
to use loading docks or waste storage areas.
Dorothy Rieger, 6516 Brompton, stated she approved of the
setback requirements with the exception for big lots. She felt it
was not-fair to have to sacrifice open area to a neighbor because
a person owns a large lot. Also, Mrs. Rieger asked for
consideration be given to the small lots to not allow two~story
garag~s. The Side Lot Setback Schedule Exception, page 1: the
side street (corner lot) - she did not understand the distance
from the street. It seemed hazardous.;
Joan McCay, 3029 Carnegie, commended the Zoning and Planning
Commi ss i on for thei r work on the ordi nance. - However, she thought
the ordinance lacked a citation and strong fine clauses for
enforcement purposes.

Richard Carlson, 3926 Marquette, asked w~at changes had been made
to the old ordinance and requested a copy of the old ordinance.
Chairman Wilson responded that th~re were no significant changes
but because the current zoningordi nance had not be,enupdated for
so long, the format is different in the proposed ordinance. All
the concepts ~re the same with the exception of side setbacks.
The other regulations, now considered standard, were not in our
old ordinance. Mr. Carlson was advised the old ordinance was
available at City Hall.
Sterling Minor, 4112 Coleridge, a member of Zoning Board of
Adjustment, requested consideration be given to'setbacks on corner
lots. He thought the reference tor.ear10t;side,ilot. line was
confusing. Mr. Ni nor' suggested IIcorner1 ot" 'be' addressed on page
6 of the ordinance and that a better definition of "estab1ished
bui1d'ing 1 i nell be provided..
Nancy Bell, 3730 Nottingham, a$ked for clarification of side
setbacks. If someone .has purchased a wide lot, they should not be
penalized because they have a larger house. Mrs. Bell thought
setbacks shou1d.be'equ:a1 ~,"ATso, on page 6,: bu'i1ding site and
:adjacent i10ts:ihow will they be treated if individually .platted?
Commissioner Lindsey responded that if the lots are on the
zoning map platted separately, they are individual lots.
Jim McPhail, 3221 Amherst, minister of West ,University,
Methodist Church, thought that on Page 4, Article 7, Residential
Districts (iii) churches should be listed. Churches provide
civic services. ,The Methodist Church is landlocked. There. may be
'sometime in ithe'future that the church may want to expand their
grounds.
Joy DeLaveaga, 3317 Robi,nhood, wanted to thank the Zoni ng and
Planning Commission for theiinew ordinance. Itis somethi,ng the
City needed and I 'want to thank them for doing such a good job.
Diane Dahlem, 6120 Lake, thought the Zoning and Planning

. . the purpose of having two, single, family districts. She felt that
requiring 51% brick in one area would split theCi.ty into two
groups. Mrs. Dahlem also had a question concerning prior non-
conformities. She and her hus'band have a structure 'not completed
and will not be completed within. the 180 ,days allowed under
Section 12-102 (b). Also, the 5 foot setback requirement
presented a problem for them.

Mrs.J. H. Barry; 3035 Nottingham,sa,id she had lived in West
University Place since., 1940... She thought the new ordinance would
change a City of Homes to aCHy of "f,ownhouses. She wanted no
more townhouses. Mrs. Barry also requested a noise ordinance.
Whitt Johnson, 3216 Nottingham, felt change was inevitable.
Each time there was a'change; it seemed to him to reflect the
i:nterpretation of ,the one who::wrote;the change. Who is going to
interpret the zoning ordinance on a day-to-day basis? Mr. Johnson
. felt that, an ordinance. was no stronger than the abil ity to enforce
it. Also, he thought Article 12,- Prior Non-Conformities"was
difficult to understand and, ambiguous.
Gene Hines, 3748 Rice Blvd., thought Zoning and Planning ,had
done a fine job. His question was generally on the map concerning
the parking area north of the Cellar Door. He thought
consideration should be given to creating a category of "Parking
Only'" areas.. On Page 6, ,Building:.Sites, the. deviation to. a T,
mi nimum depth of 110 feet was unwi see On Page 7, Trees: Mr. I I
Hines thought this section went beyond the issue of zoning. It ~
would be an imposition'on the~citizen to appear before the Zoning
Board of Adjustment concerning trees. Emergency si,tuati ons needed
to be addressed. A request for "exper,t testimony" requi res me to
spend money for the expert's testimony. Page 8, Driveway
placement,(ii and iii):Mr. Hines thought to be unnecessary.
Does Page 8, Signs, preclude the'use of seasonal greetings, and if
so, who will enforce, it.' If,it is to be allowed, itshou,ld be

decides what is equal grade and quality?
R.. D. .Walker, 6008 Kirby Drive, lives 'in the Kirby Drive
Townhouse. What can develop on a 50 foot lot? Mr. Walker did not
understand the setback requirement on his lot.,
Chairman Wilson stated that the restrictions in the Townhouse
:Districton Kirby Driv.e have existed since 1973. The
restrictions were carried forward and were considered to be
reasonable.
Frank Billings, 3123 Sunset, expressed his concern about prior
: non-conformities whether there. was enough protection on side
setbacks for those who have lived here 40 years. Mr. Billings did :i~ I
not understand the special exception provision. A special ~
exception is established by ordinance. If a person meet$ those

requirements, those peop1e'can tome before Zoning Board of

Chairman Wilson stated the special' exception clause provided some
flexibility in the ordinance itself, rather than arbitrary, there
was provided a hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Mayor Parks recommended Zoning Board of Adjustment and Zoning and
Planning Commission meet together to discuss enforcement of the
ordinance.
Mr. Billings expressed concerns about the side setback lines and
. fe'lt they pen a 1 i zed the owners of larger lots. A1 so, Mr. Bill i ngs
thought IIqua1ified treell needed to be modified. He thought the
requirement that 60% of the front yard must be unoccupied was
confusing.
John L. Maneval, 2723 Centenary, found problems with the SF2
district. There would be loss of va1~e not being able to build 44
foot wide. He suggested a comparison 7-1~0 (e) (i), (iii) to 5
foot gap in the Townhouse ,District. Lots on Community have a 30
foot pipeline easement in the rear yards. Mr. Maneval suggested
to define Building'Site to exclude pipeline easement.
o
Chairman Wilson agreed.Zoning and Planning Commission would review
that section.
Suzanne Street,' 3106" Robfnhood ,. thoughtgarage!,apartments
should be zoned out before the 20 years provided in the proposed
ordinance.
Paul Daig:1e,: 4203 S. Judson, 'stated, he, was aigatnst aCHy of
brick monoliths. People are concerned be.cause ofs.ide setbacks
which helps create a town of mega townhouses. The personality
in the design of 'exis,ting:\homes' are proportionate with the lot
size. Article 7 (e) (3) requires at least 40 percent of.each
building site must be open area. Is the requirement the same for
a single story house as a two story? Might .consider 1es,s setbacks
for single story houses;' ,.On Page 25, Section 11-10;2, Variances:
those residents within the 200 foot notice requirements would
benefit if they received a copy of the site plan along with the

Helen Gorman, 6545 Westchester, thought front garages took too

FENCE RESTRICTIONS: Consideration was given to expressing the sense
of Council with respect to a proposed amendment to the Fence
Ordinance.
Mr. Bob Spagna, construction contractor for the residence at
3402 Tangley, requested Council's consideration to the brick
fence built erroneously ten inches over the maximum height
allowance provided by the City's fence ordinance.
Councilmember Bryan asked if it were a fence or a wall?
Mr. Spagna replied it was a fence.
Councilmember Bryan stated because of the design on the brick, she
did not recommend requiring the fence height to be dropped as much
as ten inches.
Councilmember Higley stated that the fence did not strike her as a
fence. It looked like an extension of the wall. In this case it
did not seem to have a detrimental effect.
Motion was made by Councilmember Bryan, seconded by Councilmember
Higley, that City Council allow the contractor to leave the fence
as it is, over the eight foot maximum height allowed by the fence
ordinance.

o
The City Attorney asked if Council wished to amend the ordinance
to allow the exception. There was no variance provision in the
fence ordinance. Council could establish a procedure to handle
future exceptions, but at the present time, such a procedure did
not exist.
Councilmember Thompson recommended City Council look at the case
very carefully and recommended the ordinance not be amended.
Councilmember Bryan asked if the fence were actually a wall, would
there be any recourse for Council's consideration.
The City Attorney advised that he thought the treatment under the
ordinance would be the same whether it was a wall or a fence.
Staff has been working on establishing a General Appeals Board to
handle administrative appeals for regulatory ordinances outside
the zoning ordinance.
Councilmember Bryan withdrew her motion rather than amend the
fence ordinance. Councilmember Higley withdrew her second.
The City Manager advised Council that staff would continue working
on establ is.hing a 'Genera,l App'eals .Board.
o
Councilmember Thompson moved to declare the sense of City Council
to be that the proposal of Mr. Robert Spagna to allow a fence
taller than the current limit of eight feet had been carefully
considered; the, Ci;ty Counc;,' was of the optnton that such action
was not in the best interest of the City and its residents; that
Council could not grant any sort of relief under the existing
ordinance and respectfully declined to pursue such action further;
that the fence at 3402 Tangley be reduced to eight feet.
Councilmember Schwartzel seconded the motion.

on paving Corondo Court. Approximately a week ago, Councilmember
Schwartzel, City Manager"Mr. Rockenbaugh, and Director of

property owners in the 3600 block of Corondo Court offer a
proposal that will hopefully be satisfactory to the City.

Corondo Court to, grant the city a permanent five-foot utility
easement, where none exists now, to facilitate water line
replacement, and (b) the street has never been properly paved

which has resulted in the worst combination of drainage and street
conditions in the City.
As a result of these unique circumstances the undersigned owners
(representing 100% of the 3600 block of Corondo Court) make the
following proposal for the Corondo Court Street Paving Project:
1. The property owners woul d pay, in proporti on to thei r
linear frontage on the Corondo Court street,
two-thirds (2/3) of the total cost of the street
construction, up to a maximum $25,135.00 total street
cost.

L-.J
2. Of the amount owed by the property owners, at least
fifty percent (50%) of the cost specified in Paragraph
#1 (adjusted proportionately to any changes in the
estimated $25,135.00 street cost), would be paid in cash
at the commencement of construction by the property
owners as a group.
3. Of the amount remaining unpaid by each owner, that owner
will give the city a voluntary lien on his property to
. secure payment of .th~ Ullpa i d balance. The unpa i d
balance would be repaid over five years with interest
accruing at 7% simple interest.

lJ
4. The property owners on the north side of Corondo Court
would voluntarily give the City a permanent five foot
utility easement along the front of his property without
charge.
5. The property owners would pay, as required, up to
$150.00 for repair of single lane driveway and $300.00
for double driveway to tie into the new street.
6. All the property owners would give a five foot temporary
construction easement on each side of the street for
construction of the street.
7. The City would agree to start construction of a concrete
street with curbs, a level. intersection with Mercer
Street and two storm sewer catch basins at the west end
of Corondo Court immediately upon completion of the
sewer work on Corondo Court (estimated to be June 1987)
If this proposal is agreeable to. the City, please so notify the
property owners and prepare the necessary papers for our review
and execution. II
The residents on the north side of Corondo Court will grant a
permanent easement for the water line. All the property owners
have signed with the exception of one, but she has agreed to
sign.

The 'prDperty Dwners requested SDme sDrt of mechanism to' select the
design Df the street. They are cDncerned that the existing
drainage patterns be maintained frDm CorDndD CDurt DntD Mercer
to' the catch basins Qn CasQn. Our concern is to' nQt drain
Mercer to CDrDndQ CDurt. Mr. Gerger presented the prQPDsal
signed by the prQperty Qwners fQr CQuncil's cQnsideratiDn.
CQuncilmember Schwartzel stated that their prQPQsal is atypical
frQm the standard paving agreement in that nDrmally 100% of the
paving CDStS CQme' frQm the' prQperty Qwners. But CQrQndD CQurt is
different in several respects in that the street was fully
cQnstructed. HQwever, what differentiates it mQst frQm Qther
paving prDjects is that the city wi 11 'get a permanent easement fDr
the water line. There WQuld be SQme cQnsideratiQn ~Q the City
whichfs nDt standard in'Qther paving agreements. The City's
CQnsulting Engineer advised that if the City dQes nQt have the
water easement, the City CDuld CDnstruct the water line in the
right Dfway with the sewer line.
MaYQr Parks agreed there WQuld be a benefit to' the City as well as
to' the hQmeDWners.

CQuncilmember ThDmpSQn thDUght that when the City cDmpleted paving
prQjects in the 1970's, the CQstwas divided Qne-third,
Dne-third, and Dne~third.
CQuncilmember Schwartzel said he understDDd that the City nDrmally
picks up the engineering cQstsand 'costsQf .the :intersectiQns.
That fDrmula grew Qut Dfthe'cDst Df the City's pDrtiQn Qf the

Mr. Gerger resPQnded that the number estimated at the meeting

Alan Gerger agreed that was another detail that needed to be 'l
worked out. The question was whether default of the payments of a
paving lien will allow.for a foreclosure on a homestead. l-.J
Councilmember Thompson stated that the last time this issue was
addressed, the lien would run and; the interest would accumulate
until the property sold.
Councilmember.Schwartzel:thought this paving lien might be
different if it is a consensual lien.
Jim Dougherty suggested,iassuming the lien agreement was voluntary
and unanimous, a contractural arrangement would be adequate.
'J, :
. , . , ",
\, . j
Mayor' Parks :statedJ.itwas:not"Counc'il"s i'ntention to foreclose,
but it was a tool to use to keep people moving forward. The
a;lternative to that ,was, if the1'peoplecan not pay, then the City
had reason to agree to wait until the property is sold.
Alan Gerger interjected,oneadditional item. If the cost to
tie-in to driveways is over and above the stated amount, the
homeowner would pay for the total cost of the tie-in.
It was agreed that there was no interest in sidewalks as there was
not any right of way for sidewalks. The residents .would have a
public sidewalk on private property and they did not want that.
o
Motion was made by Councilmember Thompson, seconded by
Councilmember Higley, that City Council review the Corondo Court

The City Attorney advised that the Company had submitted standard
releases with the conditions for which we had bargained carried
forward. However, there were some modifications. Instead of a
two-year warranty, there is a one-year warranty, and instead of a
broad based indemnity, there is a specific indemnity that covers
the points that the City was trying to cover. .Mr. Dougherty found
the release to be acceptable and recommended it for approval.

AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO WESLAYAN BANK ITS SUCCESSORS AND 0:,1
ASSIGNS, THE RIGHT, PRIVILEGE AND FRANCHISE FOR A PERIOD NOT
TO EXCEED TWENTY YEARS TO MAINTAIN, OCCUPY, AND REPAIR
PORTIONS OF' AN EXISTING BUILDING WITHIN PORTIONS OF TWO
STREETS IN THE CITY OF WEST UNIVERSITY PLACE, HARRIS COUNTY,
TEXAS: PROVIDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTROLLING THE USE OF
SUCH STREETS; PROVIDING FOR A RENTAL CHARGE; AND CONTAINING
FINIDINGS AND OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT.
Motion was made by Councilmember Bryan, seconded by Councilmember
Higley that City Council approve Ordinance Number 1283 on first
reading.
Copies of Ordinance Number 1283, in the form required for
adoption, were available to all members of City Council and a
reasonable number of additional copies available to interested
citizens present.
The City Attorney, Mr. Dougherty, advised Council that the survey
of the building, located at the corner of University Boulevard and
Edloe Street, showed the building extends 2 inches and a fraction
at the corner and shrinks down to a fraction of an inch from that
point. '
Mayor Parks inquired if the rental rate was fixed or on a sliding
scale.
II
~
Mr. Dougherty stated that Section 3 of the ordinance sets the
rental at $272.88 per year, payable annually, but adjusted by the
"Consumer Price Index" over the twenty years.
Councilmember Schwartzel understood that Council had considered a
five-year lease. The City Attorney responded that the
recommendation from staff was for an annual payment over twenty
years.
Mr. Barnes, representi ng Wes 1 ayan Bank, stated that there was a
five-year lease with an option for a five year renewable
contract. The bank's concern was to try to resolve the franchise
over a long term, preferably for 20 years.
Mayor Parks advised that City Council had a problem with a flat
twenty-year lease. Was the twenty-year term subject to the life
of the lease?
Mr. Dougherty stated the franchise was for a flat twenty years and
was transferable to the bank I s recommended successors and
assigns. Weslayan Bank is permitted to transfer the franchise by
merger or acquisition by another bank. Any other transfer would
necessitate Council's approval.
Councilmember Schartzel moved that' the term' of the franchise be
reduced to five years after which Weslayan Bank can request a
o

o
renewal. Mayor Parks agreed, but there was not a formal second to
the motion.
Mayor Parks explained it was not Council's .intent to limit the
Bank. This Council does not wish to bind future City Councils for
a period of twenty years!
Councilmember Thompson suggested the franchise be co-terminuous
with the bank's lease.' Councilmember Schwartzel not only
recommended the franchise be limited to five years but suggestion
deleting "and assigns" from Section 9. The City Attorney
recommended deleting from Section 9 the words lIaccept as provided
by the City Charter II , and, in the, last sentence of that same
~ection, delete the words "and assigns".
Mr. Barnes asked consideration fbr:a longer term than 5 years.
The City Attorney suggested leaving the recommended changes for
assignability in theordi nance ,shorten the general. terms to ten
years, which is the maximum term of the bank's lease. Then if the
bank's lease terminates sooner, then the franchise would terminate
at the same time.

HEARING,OF REShiENTS:h Mayor Parks invited residents to speak who had
ma\ters t y wis ed to bring to the attention of the City Council
which had not previously been submitted to the City Manager.
Dorothy Reiger, 6516 Brompton, addressed City Council concerning
the proposed revision to the zoning ordinance. Her concern was
that the proposed 5 foot setback restrictions would be lowered to
the existing 3 feet. Mrs. Reiger felt that the current residents
should have the first consideration, not the new comers. At the
public hearing on zoning, almost everyone present agreed with what
the zoning commission was trying to do. After the public hearing,
people were complaining about the proposed 5 foot setbacks. Mrs.
Reiger urged that 5 foot setbacks would help protect adequate

consideration.

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT.
Copies of Ordinance Numper 1287, in the form required for
adoption, were available to all members of City Council and a
reasonable number of additional copies available to interested
citizens present. '
City Attorney Jim Dougherty stated that the existing ordinanc~
provides very little authority for the City to remove trees and/or
limbs for house moving situations. Trucks are striking trees
because of their load. All the existing ordinance deals with is
the intersection. It does not address any other area of public
right-of-way.
o
After discussion, motion was made by Councilmember Bryan, seconded
by Councilmember Bell, that Ordinance Number 1287 be tabled to the
next workshop session.

PROCLAMATION: Mayor Parks presented and read a proclamation
designating the week of April 27 through May 3,1987, as Clean Air
Week to join efforts with the American Lung Association to.
LEGISLATIVE MATTERS: Mayor Parks advised Council that there was a
need for two additional lobbyists relative to the legislative
matters under consideration in Austin. City Council was advised
from the beginning that we might have to bring in additional
lobbyists. The City has been notified that the City now needs to
go ahead and authorize the additional lobbyists. The City of
Bellaire has agreed to pay one half. The charge is $10,000.00
each. The City of Bellaire joined with the City of West
University and mailed letters to all small cities participating in
the legislative matter ,to contribute to this expense. At this
time, it is too early to have a response to the request.
Motion was made by Councilmember Bryan that City Council accept
. the contracts for both of these two individuals to perform
legislative services for the City at the price specified, such
cost to be shared 50% between Bellaire and West University Place.
Mayor Parks recommended West University Place pay the two lobbyist
directly subject to receipt and approval of the Letters of
Agreement.
Councilmember Bryan amended her motion to include that City
Council authorize the two individuals to perform legislative
services for the City at the price specified, such cost to be
shared 50% between the cities of Bellaire and West University
Place, and delegate to the Mayor the authority to approve the
Letters of Agreement.
Councilmember Britton seconded the motion as amended.

ORDINANCE NUMBER 1293
AN ORDINANCE CALLING A JOINT PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE

RELATION TO A PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE REVISION AND AMENDMENT
OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF WEST UNIVERSITY
PLACE; PRESCRIBING THE TYPE OF NOTICE TO BE GIVEN;
CONTAINING FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT
AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
The City Attorney outlined proposed changes to the draft of the
reyision and amendment of the zoning ordinance, dated June 16,
1987, which City Council reviewed at workshop session on June 18,
1987. The changes, based on the discussion on June 18, had been
prepared in draft form so that the City Attorney could point out

the areas that were changed to make sure that they were accurately
recorded from the discussion on Thursday, June 18, 1987.
City Attorney, Mr. Dougherty, pointed out that the change on the
'first page that ybu have in front of you, whi~h is ~age 18, is in
response to the question irithe setbacks, when it jumps from five
feet to seven feet, it will not be a sudden jump. As presented
tonight, the ordinance would make the setbacks increase
gradually. The setback would get to seven feet eventually in the
one bracket and ten feet in the other bracket.
On page 35 there is a deletion mark indicating the change in the
hard surface pavement requirement. The indication was that we
preferred this section in the Code of Ordinances rather than the
Zoning Ordinance. On page 36, there is a deletion mark to
indicate that the heavy vehicle parking section would be moved
into the Code of Ordinances. On page 66, are the technical
provisions to the side lot setback schedule: how the 3foot-7
foot adjustment provisions work on the narrow lots. It was
decided a third exception was necessary as a matter of right where
there are close buildings on both sides. That is Exception 3 on
the page 66. When you have close buildings on both sides, if you
are goi ng to go 3 foot-7 foot, one si de or the, other, therei s
no side indicated as,the'rewould; be'jf one 'side were open. It
gi ves' the 1 andowner a choi ce. ' The property owner des i gnates the
side when he is hemmed in~'It gives the property owner the right
to slide the building to one side of the lot or the other. The 7
foot rule relates'to the' minimum width 'of a: drhreway.' ,
Mayor Parks asked if these drafted chahges would be included in
'the draft"of the ordi nancepresented at thepubli c ,hearing?
Mr. Dougherty suggested he would need to prepare an engrossed
ve'rsi'O'n of the'io'rdin'ance fordistri'buti:o:n 'prior to the'lhe,aring.
He planned to.date irt June 18 a'nd to include, :all the comments from
last week. If Council wished to include these, i,t could be done,
more or less, in the form shown.

Mayor Parks recommended the :changes 'be i'ncluded,prior to. the
hearing. Members'ofOHy'Council concurned.f i'
Councilmember :Britton !asked:'for clarification on ,the last item.
One of Council's concerns was the.'inoursion of one property owner
on another. He was not sure the change corrected:.the situation.
Mr. Dougherty suggested that unde~ the redraft of' thafone
provision, there is the possibility of two buildings being close
together. Because on both"sides. if the prior builders had built
out up to 3 feet, the new change would allow the property owner in
the middle to go one way or~an6ther up: to' 3 feet tothe..side lot.
There is a possibility of a 6 foot separation on one slde or the
'other. Of course'it would:be'muchJarge~on the other side which
would not 'be possib'le' in the ex.isting zoning ,ordinance.

Councilmember Bryan suggested it,only applies if there are not
driveways on the other"s,ide~
The City Attorney pointed out that there were two blanks for
parki:ng spaces per 1,000 square feet. Five parking ,spaces per
1,000 square feet, was suggested'.: That figure is within the norms
and the City'Attorney ,suggested that number be filled in for the
purpose of the hearing. The provision would apply to retail and
grocery stores.
n
u
Mr. Dougherty recommended that City Council go to the hearing with
the old zoning map, the one that was prepared for the prior public
hearing. There would be two, differences that this ordinance no
longer recognizes. The Single Family 1 and 2 districts would
become one district and also:the Genenal Residential,District,
, which' is ,shown as one small district .in the existing map', would be
shown ,as two. The are no changes in boundaries, only just within
those two categories, there would be a change internally.
City Council concurred that the old zoning map should be used for
presentation ~t the public hearing.
Mr. Dougherty advised that Ordinance Number 1293, does not have
the date filled in. If July 20, 1987,7:30 P.M. is acceptable to
City Council, that date will be inserted in the original copy of
the ordinance. The City Attorney recommended that the words
"ameri'dment of the zoning ordinanceI' be 'included in the Notice of
Hearing attached to the back of. the Ordinance Number 1293.
Wi th concurrence of City Counci 1 to the City Attorney's
recommendations, Mayor Parks called for a vote relative to
Ordinance Number 1293.

doing so conditioned upon 'the resolution of certain pending
items. The pending items involved an on-site visit to the bank

City Council award the'bid,to Republic Bank pending finalization
of the pending items~' '
, Mayor Parks asked if the item'S 'were non-monetary ones and was

possibility of borrowing up to $1,000,,000 and this was used as a
criteria for evaluation. The G'ity has"two outstanding, loans of
almost $400,000 which would leave a balance of $600,000 ,to reach
the $1,000,000 remaining for credit should City Council ,decide to
have the banks assume' the bal ance' of.'the loans.

personnel matters involving ~fficer E. T. Harrold.
Mayor Parks presented and read a statement concerning Council's
decision, as follows:
The City Council affirms the staff position with respect to the
pending personnel matter involving Officer E. T. Harrold.
Further, the City Council, having considered the procedural points
raised'by the officer'and by hfS attorney, declines to order any
additional cross examination'or hearing procedures. The Council
is of'the opinion that'the"requested cross examination would be
repe'titive of other statements in the'record and also that the
cross examination requested relates to matters that are not
disputed. Also, the Council is of the opinion that the officer
had repeated notices of the charges against him, both at the
department level and at the city manager level. In particular,
the Council is informed that the city manager conducted a
phrase-by-phrase review' of two specific witnesses' statements in
the presence of both the officer and his attorney, and that this
review clearly informed the officer of the specific allegations
aga,inst him.
Motion was made by CouncilmemberBryan, seconded by Councilmember

HEARING OF RESIDENTS: Mayor Parks invited residents to speak who had
matters they wished to bring to the attention of the City Council
which had not previously been submitted to the City Manager.
Dr. Arrighi, 3036 Albans, asked ,City Council to consider ,five
items. She requested black picture frames be place around the
signal lights to make them more easily seen and that the signal
lights need to be straightened.Dr~ Arrighi expressed her concern
that perhaps mosquito spraying.was ,not done as ,Qften as it should
be. The storm sewer on her street floods. Dr. Arrighi understood
'the Solid Waste employees were ,making :a slirveyof residents who
put garbage bags curbside too ea,rlQ' before their scheduled pickup
day. She thought solid waste employees did not need to spend
their time doing that. There are three mowers on her street and
whatever day they come they usually leave the bags out then. Dr.
Arrighi noticed that the police officers do not turn on their
signal Ught~ when they turn corners and she thought they should
set a better example~
Mayor Parks advised Dr. Arrighi that award of a storm drain
cleaning contract was on the agenda for tonight's meeting to solve
her problem with the storm drain along the 3000 and 3100 blocks of
Albans. The Mayor referred the other items to the City Manager.
Linda Bossey invited members of City Coun~il to Mediterrean
Festival at St. George Orthodox Church. '
Richard Mithoff, 3423 Sunset, addressed City Council to speak in
favor of the proposed zoning ordinance. He had reviewed that
document. The Zoning anp Planning Commission h~s-worked for
approximately 1 1/2 years, the Commission has~heard from a cross
section of this community, they have met with experts and studied
model zoning codes and put together a long over due revision to
the city's zoning code. It is a well written document and Mr.
Mithoff strongly urged it be enacted as it is written. He had
heard about those who oppose the five foot setback. Mr. Mithoff
thought what the city needed was a strong ordinance with the
setbacks as written in the ordinance. Some people want to delay

the effective date by as much as six months and he urged the

and the five foot"setbacks.'He :ur,ged, the ordinance be implemented
as soon as possible to maintain the quality of the community.
Kathryn Coates, 2640 Talbot, felt that anyone building a new home
'was adversely affected by the proposed zoning ordinance and
especially those who are trying to build in this transition phase.
Linda Smith, 6646 Community Drive, spoke in favor of the five foot
setbacks and would like the ordinance to be enacted~s written.

CITIZENS RESPONSE TO AGENDA ITEMS: Mayor Parks invited residents who
wished to address a specltlc agenda item to speak at this time.
Jim Tyler, 3310 Plumb, spoke concerning the final draft of the
amendatory zoning ordinance and pointed out that pages 67 and 68
were missing.' ',.
Sufficient copies of pages 67 and 68 were made to supply those in
attendance.
't 1
Mr. Ty1 er offered a correcti on on Page 39 (5) (i i) , fi rst 1 i ne,
should read "If a principal building in the SF District
acquired 'PNC'"' rather ,than "a SF. ':Di stri ct": ' On ,Page 65, the
Side Lot Setback Schedule,' ,the ordinance reads that you can build
under the 3/7 principal, item (c)(l) under ,Exception 1, provided
there is no structure on the adjoining building site within 7 feet
except for those projections in the side setback areas
specifica1ly~anowed by-the proJection schedule. .He ,imagined the
-i'ntent was ,to say it ;-s all ';right H ,it is a ,garage ,that )is closer
than 7 feet to the next door neighbor's property. But looking at
the new definition under the projection schedule, Page 64, the
only thing:that constitutes an acceptab1e:projectionin the way of
a garage'is a garage ,that has -no ;windows of!,doors -that f:ace the
side property Hne.:' Reading this' together, :if you have ,a next
door neighbor who has a garage :that is three feet off his side
property line, you can not build under the 3/7 rule on your
property line if the garage happens to have a window on that
side. When the side lot setback was done Mr. Tyler thought the
,intent was, if you are building a new garage",windows or doors on
that side are not allowed. But the unintended consequence is you
can't fall within'the three; foot/seven feot rule if your. neighbor
happens to have an existing garage that has a window that is
looking onto your property. Mr. Tyler's next suggestion was on

Regular City Council Meeting, September 28, 1987
Page 20 under Garage andiDriveway Locations. There was discussed
a concept of an estab1ished:driveway pattern. He thought that
when it first came intop1ay'it was in connection with the 3/7
concept. The way it is now written, even if someone is on a wide
lot and fully complying wfth the side"s'etbacks, they do not have
an option to do anything except to locate their garage on one side
of the property or the other'H Mr. Tyler further suggested on
Page 20 (ii) to insert at the"be'ginning 'of that sentence: I.n ;
,these circumstances where an, owner 'of abuiJdinq site intends to
'comply with:-the side 10t"setbackschedule" in: lieu of section
7.:..100 'of this ordinance and then cOntinue nOn each such building
site"-';'-. This particular 'proviston requiri'ng a garage to be on
, one side or another wou1 d only app!ly where peop1 e are trying to
deviate from the side setbacks that hav~ been established. It
would continue to allow flexibility in design. Mr. Ty1erls
final comment concerned Page 15 Sectiorr2(i} ,dealing with
subdividing lots and when it ispermiss,ib1e for two owners to
adjust the size of their lot without creating a'newbui1ding
site. He requested City Council consider changing the 60 feet to
50 feet so that it is clear that you can never go less than the
minimum lot standard, but as long as you have not created a new
buflding'site, you are, free to do what you want on, trading a few
feet with your neighbor.' "
There were no other comments offered from the audience.

The City Attorney offered amendi,ngPage 65.
In the provision for side lot setback 'schedule, Page 65, the
original intent of the exception was to allow the three foot/seven
foot to occur even though your neighbor might have built within
three feet as allowed .by the projection schedule. If Council
wanted to consider a change it would be permissible to do so
between first and second readings. It is a very technical sort of
.thing and would be a minor. change.'
Mr. Ty1er stated that on' Page 64 there.was a definition of a
projection: says you can not haye a 'window facing a side property
line if your neighbor 'happens to have a garage' with'a window.
That garage is no longer, a., permiSsible projection onPage 65. If
there were a ga'rage'structl.i,re~ the existence of that'window or
door should not defeat the ability of the
'"
Mayor' Parks stated that the' provision was definitely related to
two story structures, but not ,nece'ssari 1y one story structures.
I'

The City Attorney offered the following proposed amendment to Page
65 to'add at the end of Exception 1 (c) (1) Except for accessory
building on the rear half of the building site.
Mayor Parks recommended the exception be referred to a workshop
session.
Motion was made by Counci1memberSchwartze1 that ,on Page 39,
section 12-103, (a)(5)(ii) the first line, that the word nan be
changed to "then; on Page 20, (3) Garage and Driveway (ii) that
the language be after the,'words Setb'ack' Schedule~ in the third
line, insert: (x), there must be a driveway 10cated,As nearly as
practicable to one side of the site, insert: (xx) the side shall
be ,determined in accordance 'with the estaD I.' ~,nea. -dri.veway pattern
for the block face in questi,on, if .there is such a pattern,
insert: ami', :~xxx) ,if' threre"Ts' ,not such a pattern, and if
there is an a jacent driveway on one adjoining building site but
'not the other~; ',then 'the :;dri:v,eway ,must be on the side farthest from
the adjoining driveway':and; 'onP,age'15 (2)( i) the number 60 be
changed to 50. ,,"
R~id Wilson, Zoning and Planning Commission Chairman, commented
that the reaSon for the 60 ,foot width 'was to ,prevent' the, reduction
in width' of a 1a~ge 10t,:toa lOt smaller than 60 feet. Council
may want to consider adding an exception for two lots that are
going to have the boundary changed between them and are both less
than 60 feet. The theory was that sixty feet is the minimum width
to resubdivide lots.

Counci1member Schwartze1 withdrew his amendment to Page 15.

COUNCIL COMMENTS: Councilmember Bryan stated she was very pleased
the Zoning Ordinance was enacted.
Mayor Parks stated that in 1937 the City of West Un,iversity Place
passed a Zoning Ordinance which has remained in effect until
today. After two years and six months of study by the Zoning and
Planning Commission, the City has finally passed a revised Zoning
Ordinance. It will probably need to be revised or amended, but it
is the best for our City. The Zoning and Planning Commission have
brought forward an ordinance that the Mayor perceived as a
workable and functional document. Mayor Parks expressed his
appreciation to the members of the Z&PC for their time and
perseverance to bring this ordinance to the point of adoption.
Counci1member Schwartzel thanked the Zoning and Planning
Commission for their courage in dealing with the people. He
thanked City Attorney, Jim Dougherty, for his work and tireless
hours. Councilmember Schwartze1 also thanked the members of the
former City Council and this City Council for their cooperation
with each other and their understanding of each other in dealing
with difficult issues and making the compromises that were
necessary.
Counci1member Bell expressed his appreciation to city staff for
the extra hours they spent on the ordinance.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES: Minutes of the regular city council
meeting on September 28, 1987, were presented for consideration.
Motion was made by Counci1member Bryan, seconded by Counci1member
Schwartze1, that the minutes of the regular City Council meeting
on September 28, 1987, be approved as submitted.

Mr. ,Bi 11 Phi 11 ips; 301.2 Cason, presented hi s request for a

address. Mr.Phil1Jips stated that on this particular block, there
were 4 houses. Each end house faces the side street and only the
2 interior houses face onto Cason. There are no sidewalks in
front of the two houses facing Cason. The Code of Ordinances,
Sectlon 19-51, requires sidewalks upon consfruction ;of'anyhouse
or dwelling and Mr. Phillips was appealing this requirement., In
this case, there would be a sidewalk only across his 10t~ Mr.
Phillips was willing to sign an agreement that he would construct
the sidewalk when the other property owners on the block do.
Recommendation from staff was to abide with the strict enforcement
of the code.
With the concurrence of City Council, Mayor Parks suggeste9,the
City Attorney be instructed to see if an agreement would be
binding on Mr. Phillips' property. City Council agreed to bring
the variance question to the next workshop session on October 22,

Motion was made by Counci1member'Bryan, seconded by Counci1member
Bell, that Ordinance Number 1305 be accepted on first reading as
presented.
Counci1member Britton requested an ,explanation of the proposed
change and whether it involved additional costs.
City Manager, Mr. Rockenbaugh, explained there was no additional
cost. In fact, the city's contribution was lowered this year by
the Texas Municipal Retirement System of Texas. The:updated
service credits affect the people who retire in the future and the
updated service credits is an attempt to keep the salaries
current. '
Counci1member Britton asked if when the Gityhires someone who has
worked under the retirement system is the City accepting
res pons i hi li ty for the i r oth~r' ser.V ice., I s the" fundi ng
transferred and is the City assuming a responsibility for it?
, ,
Mr. Rockenbaugh advised that was not the case. The previous
entity has contributedOits contracted 'amount. The Gitydoes not
assume that 1 iability" :Thef{employ~e 19oesund,er West Un,iversity' s
rate at the point of employment.
"
[
Council member $chwartzel< responded, :tha ti n the 1 as tthree years,
the City has voted for updated' service:credits with an increase in
cost.
~ ~};l{LI --;11'.' f 1
Finance Director"Donn:a: 'Sims';:ad,visedther,e was a.n i,ncrease 1 ast
yea'r. ." This year, there is .no'increase, because the Cimortizati on
period is increased from 24 to 25 years. It is to the City's
benefit to adopt the service credits. The rate is lower than if
the updatedservicecredits:;wer,enot adopted. Th~City is not
eligible for the 25 year 'amortization if the service credits are
not adopted.
With no further discussion offered, Mayor Parks called for the
vote. " "

~
Mr. David Healey, 2903 Nottingham, addressed Council stating
he had a water bill problem that was about five months old. He
claimed to have already paid the bill, but the city picked up a
previous balance incorrectly. Also, while on vacation Mr.
Hea1ey's residence experienced a water leak. Mr. Healey
ta 1 kec,t to the ,Superi,ntendent of Uti 1 it i es who recommended' that Mr.
Healey receive a credit for the water that did no'4 go through
the sewer lines. The City of Houston has a policy whereby a
resident gets a credit for water that was not used to the benefit
of the owner and the amount is credited to the sewer bill. The
water bills are not adjusted.
Counci1member Schwartze1 agreed that Houston does have that policy
and they will give a resident partial credit. However, it would
have to go into West University Place's budget as an increase in
water rates. . ..
Mr. Healey then suggested that during the Christmas holidays,
the residents assumed trash would be picked up. The City was
closed for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Mr. Healey did not
feel the residents were given proper notice that trash would not .
be picked up. ' I
I
Mayor Parks recommended that, in the future, the notice of ~
holidays be put in the "City Currents II a month in advance.

Mr. Healey suggested heavytrash;pick up follow procedures to
include a confirmation number, assigned as the pick ups are
requested. Mr. Healey'furthersuggested that the ,$1.00 street
light charge be rolled into the tax base so that residents may
. wri te it off the'i r;' income taxes.
Mayor Parks responded that the matter of use charge versus
increased taxes was reviewed every year at budget time and would
be again.
Mr. Healey stated there is 'a policy that a resident is limited
to purchase one roll of garbage bags at a time. Recently he was
tol d he coul d buy only" one roll. The other day he had 23 bags of
limbs.
Mayor Parks responded the policy came about because of available
storage space. In order to have an adequate supply for residents
to buy as many garbage bags as they wished" city ha,llwould have
to purchase many more bags at one time which would be a storage
problem. Mayor Parks thanked Mr. Healey for his comments and
assured Mr. Healey his suggestions wou1u be taken und~r
advisement for further study. City staff would respond .to the
water bill probl em. '
