Present: Mayor Barrow, Councilmen Spuller, Noel, Brooks, and Taylor; City Manager, and City Attorney. 1. On motion by Taylor an~ second by Noel the minutes of the meeting on August 9, 1960 were approved. 2. Appearance by J. O.

Mayor Barrow declared the public hearing on the question of re- zoning certain property on the West side of the intersection of Highway l0 and Greenwood Street to be reconvened. Mayor Barrow read a motion contained in the minutes of the last Council meeting at which the said rezoning was considered. Joe Nichols, appearing on behalf of the petitioners, stated that in accordsnce with the terms of the motion, Phase I~ of the Master Plan had been 8elivered recommending the classification of the property involved as business property and requested that the Council take action accordingly. Councilman Noel then stated his view that the only issue before the Council was whether Phase II was conclusive and final enough to justify action in accordance with the terms of the motion read by the M~or. After stating bis MUNICIPAL BUILDING August 23, 1960 personal opinion that Phase II is to be the basis for the final Master Plan, Councilman Noel made a motion that the recommem, dation of the Planning and Zoning Commission for business zoning of the property in question be followed, and that the said property be zoned for business. The motion by Noel was seconded by Council- man Taylor. A discussion was had on the motion in which Councilman Spuller stated that he felt that the terms of the motion were met by Phase II of the Master Plan which requested the action suggested by the motion. Councilman Brooks stated that he was never sure whether the Council had been presented with the final clan. Mayor Barrow stated that Phase II is the ultimate land use map. U~on a question by Councilman Noel, Joe Nichols stated that if any additional right-of-way is needed from the business in question in order to provide a four-lane highway fronting on the said property, he and J. L. Ginnings will quit claim any nec- essary right-of-way for that purpose, and Mr. Nichols stated that he would meet with Felix Callahan to determine whether any such additional right-of-way was needed. Mrs. Hal Norgaard presented pictures of drainage water in back yards in the vicinity of Sherman Drive, and stated, as sookesman for the opoonents of the rezoning, that a solution of a~l such drainage problems should be reached and acted upon before any action taken under the Master Plan. J. L. Ginnings stated that any 8rainage problems present in the area were not due to the property in question since water from it drains North except a small portion at the bottom of the hill leading from Bell Avenue. City Manager Bly reported that studies of the drainage problems in this area had been made and that storm sewer in- stallation presented the most practical solution. Mr. Bly further stated that preliminary estimates on costs of such a project showed that $75,000 would be needed because a complete solution would require installation of storm sewer from Sherman Drive to the T.W.U. campus. Mr. Bly further stated that an alternate solution of an open concrete channel was considered, but that this was not practicable because of the grade. Councilman Noel stated that the bond issue recently aoproved was the maximum possible because of the limit of taxable value and that all desirable projects could not be included and oaid for within the oresent taxable value limit. Mayor Barrow then called for t~e questdon of the aporoval of the motion and upon a roll call vote the Mayor and ali. Councilmen voted aye. 4.

Motion carried. Meeting adjourned. Mayor Secretary December 21, 1961 Special meeting of the City Council, City of Denton, Texas, December 21, 1961, at 8:00 a.m. Present: Mayor Barrow, Councilmen Brooks, Taylor, Robinson, Spuller; City Manager, City Attorney, City Secretary. 1. Mayor Barrow read the following statement: Denton's one-way street system was adopted on September 4, 1961, upon the recommen- dation of traffic engineers after long and careful study of Denton's traffic pro- blems. This recommendation was contained in the Phase III Thoroughfares Report made to the City of Denton as a part of its Comprehensive Master Plan. The Phase III Thoroughfares Report was studied and approved by the Citizens Research Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission and your City Council. The public was informed of these studies through comprehensive summaries published in the Denton Record-Chronicle. It was felt by all concerned that the adoption of one-way streets would meet with general public support because of the alleviation of traffic congestion on the major thoroughfares. It was never the intention of your City Council to continue the system unless it proved to be in the best interest of the citizens of Denton, nor was it the intention of your City Council to impose such system upon the citizens against their will. Certainly, it was expected that the advantages of the system would greatly outweigh any disadvantages. Since the adoption of the one-way street system, expressed public opinion on its merits has, at best, been divided. It is fair to say that until December 12, 1961, there was no evidence of substantial public support or approval of the system by the people at large. In fact, public opinion as expressed to the indi- vidual Councilmen tended to show that there were a number of Denton businesses which appeared to have been adversely affected by the system, and in a few cases severe economic losses were attributed to the one-way street system alone. At its regular meeting on December 12, 1961, your City Council received petitions signed by 1223 individuals and by representatives of 150 business firms requesting the immediate abandonment of the one-way street system. A majority of the Council felt at that time that these petitions and the large delegation of citizens which appeared in support of the abandonment of one-way streets were sufficient evidence of general public dissatisfaction with the one-way street system, and it was for this reason that the Council voted to abandon one-way streets as of January 1, 1962. Many citizens have since publicly and privately voiced their approval of one-way streets in Denton, and others have indicated their desire to try the one-way street system for a longer period. It now appearing that Denton's one-way street system is the subject of general public interest and concern, and in consideration of the fact that there is no fair and accurate way to determine the will of the people short of an election on the subject, your City Council has reconsidered its action of December 12, 1961, and has unanimously ordered the following action on the one-way street system: (1) Denton's one-way street system will be continued until January 23, 1962, at which time a referendum ballot shall be submitted to the citizens of Denton on the question of whether or not the one-way street system shall remain in effect. (2) The one-way street system shall be continued or discontinued in the City of Denton after January 23, 1962, in accordance with the will of the people as expressed in the aforesaid referendum election. 2. The following resolution was introduced: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, public opinion appears to be divided on the question of whether or not the present one-way street system in the City of Denton, Texas, should be continued; and WHEREAS, the only accurate method of determining the will of the citizens of Denton on this question appears to be a spscial referendum election at which all qualified voters in the City of Denton shall have the right to vote upon the said question; now therefore be it RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, THAT a Special Election be, and the same is hereby, ordered to be held in the Municipal Building in the City of Denton, Texas, between the hours of eight o'clock A.M. and seven o'clock P.M. on the fourth Tuesday in January, 1962, the said day being the 23rd day of January, 1962, for the purpose of submitting to the qualified voters of the City of Denton, Texas, the question, "SHALL THE PRESENT ONE-WAY TRAFFIC SYSTEM IN THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, BE CONTINUED?"; and be it further December 21, 1961 RESOLVED, that the question stated above shall be printed upon the ballot, and immediately below said question shall be printed the words, "YES" and "NO", one above the other in the order indicated, and the qualified voters shall indicate their preference by striking out the word that does not indicate their choice; and be it further RESOLVED, that this Resolution shall be published in full one (1) time in the Denton Record-Chronicle, the official newspaper of the City of Denton, Texas, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the said Special Election, and further notice of this Special Election shall be given by the City Secretary of the City of Denton, Texas, by posting a true copy of this Resolution, signed by the Mayor of the City of Denton, Texas, and attested by the said City Secre- tary, in each of three (3) public places in the City of Denton, Texas, at least thirty (3) days prior to the date of said Special Election, one of said copies to be posted in the Municipal Building in the City of Denton, Texas; and be it further RESOLVED, that Jewell Smith be, and he is hereby, appointed Presiding Judge of said Special Election, and the said Jewell Smith shall appoint such assistants as may be necessary to properly donduct said election; and be it further RESOLVED, that the City Secretary of the City of Denton, Texas, be, and he is hereby, authorized to have ballots for this Special Election printed and delivered to the said Presiding Judge as required by law; and be it further RESOLVED, that on the Monday next following the date of this Special Election, the City Council shall meet to canvass the returns and declare the results there- of; and be it further RESOLVED, that this Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage.

CITY COUNCIL .CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS Brooks Holt City Secretary" The Mayor called the meeting to order and declared the public hearing open for discussion of Urban Renewal. The City Secretary,' Brooks Holt, presented the Council with petitions containing 1209 signatures that an Urban Renewal election be held in the City of Denton, and the City Secretary then read to the Council his certificate concerning the petitions, said certificate reading as follows: "THE STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF DENTON I, Brooks Holt, City Secretary of the City of Denton, Texas, do hereby certify that the attached petitions contain the signatures of not less than five per cent (5%) of the legally qualified voters residing in the City of Denton, Texas,~nd own- ing taxable property within the boundaries thereof, duly rendered for taxation. MUNICIPAL BUILDING December 18,1962 IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and the Official Seal of the City of Denton, Texas, this 18th day of December, A.D. 1962. /s/ Brooks Holt Brooks Holt City Secretary City of Denton, Texas" The Mayor commented that it would appear that under the provisions of the Urban Renewal Law the Council would be required to call an Urban Renewal election because of the presentation of the petitions for such election containing the signatures of not less than five per cent (5%) of the legally qualified voters residing in the City of Denton, Texas, and owning tax- able property within the boundaries thereof duly rendered for taxation. The Mayor then stated that notwithstanding the presentation of the petitions, the public hearing would be held as scheduled, and he asked anyone wishing to voice an opinion FOR the Urban Renewal program to be heard at this time. Dr. John A. Guinn, President of Texas Woman's University, explained that the needs of both North Texas State University and Texas Woman's University for redevelopment and expansion of their campus areas to meet the anticipated increased enrollment are acute, and that the opportunities afforded by the area redevelopment program for credits and matching federal funds are essential to adequate development and growth of the Universities. Dr. Guinn further explained that because of a recent amendment to the Federal Ho~s~ng Law, the Urban Rmnewal program could be utilized to make federal funds available to the 'Universities without neces- sarily involving the City of Denton in a comprehensive Urban Renewal program affedting the City at large. Dr. Carl Matthews, President of North Texas State University, reaffirmed the needs of Denton's two Universities as outlined by Dr. Guinn and stated that,:the area redevelopment program as contained in the Federal Housing Law is an opportunity for the citizens of the Denton community to perform a service for their Universities. The Mayor then called for any further spokesmen to speak for the Urban Renewal Program, and none appearing the Mayor then asked anyone wishing to voice an opinion AGAINST Urban Renewal to be heard at this time. Mrs. Paul Simpson who lives at 918 South Myrtle Street spoke at length, reading from a prepared statement, outlining her arguments against Urban Renewal and the college redevelop- ment program. Mrs. Simpson attacked the statements of the proponents of the area redevelop- ment program to the effect that such program could be accomplished without additional taxes. She stated her belief that the removal of the properties in the area selected for college expansion from the present City tax roll by turning them over to the tax-exempt Universities would require either higher city taxes to replace the present revenues derived from such properties, or increased annexations of outlying farm areas in order to maintain the tax rate at its present level. Mrs. Simpson then pointed out her belief that taxation of rural property owners who do not receive adequate municipal services is unfair. Mrs. Simpson questioned the needs for land expansion at both Universities and indicated she felt that more efforts should be made to improve quality of instruction and performance at the Uni- versities rather than the quanity of land contained in their campuses. Mrs. Simpson then spoke at length on her feeling that Urban Renewal generally is a program which benefits the few engaged in real estate promotion and other land speculation ventures and that it does not take in to account the wishes of those who are affected most by such program, i.e., the persons who live in the affected areas. Zeke Martin, owner of a drive-in restaurant and service station near North Texas State Uni- versity, stated that he did not know whether he was for or against Urban Renewal, but would like the answers to several questions to aid him in making up his mind. He first asked who determines the area to be included in an Urban Renewal Plan and what steps were necessary before the land in such an area could be acquired by eminent domain. Mayor Whitson referred this question to City Attorney Lee E. Holt who briefly outlined the provisions of Article 12691=3 of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, with particular reference to Section 7 which he quoted at length. Mr. Martin then asked what provisions were made for aiding the relocation of persons who are displaced under an Urban Renewal Plan. Mayor Whitson referred this question to City Attorney Holt who stated that he was not com- pletely familiar with the detail steps that would be taken to insure or aid the relocation of persons presently residing in an Urban Renewal area, but that he had been assured by the Legal Bepartment of the Housing and Home Finance Agency in Fort Worth that no Urban Renewal plan would approved for expenditure of federal funds unless adequate and detailed plans and studies had been completed on relocation of persons displaced under an Urban Renewal Program. '202 MUNICIPAL BUILDING '"'~ December 18,1962 ~ Dr. Guinn spoke in answer to several of the statements made by Mrs. Simpson and stated that both Universities had exhausted their monetary resources for land expansion and that if the Universities were to ask Legislature to replenish their land acquisition funds this might be done at the expense of the funds presently provided by the State of Texas for instructors' salaries and the other qualitative needs of the Universities mentioned by Mrs. Simpson. Dr. Guinn stated in further answer to Mrs. Simpson that larger Hniversities are not necessarily inferior by reason of their size and though there might be some necessity for limiting enrollment at Texas Woman's University in the future, no such limitation was contemplated at this time, and that both Universities could expand enrollment and campus area without endangering the quality of instruction. --- Dr. Chester Newland, Professor of Government at North Texas State University, stated that the scope of the proposed area redevelopment program at both Universities is relatively small and that even with federal aid other programs would be required involving community support and financial aid if the full needs of the Universities are to be met. Dr. Newland further outlined the safeguards of the Urban Renewal Law and pointed out that all Urban Renewal programs must be administered by local citizens who would be responsive to communi- ty feelings in exercising Urban Renewal powers. Dr. Newland stated his belief that adequate provisions for the relocation of families now living in substandard housing in the areas to be proposed for inclusion in Denton's Urban Renewal program would be a matter of detailed study prior to the acquisition of any land. Mayor Whitson then asked if there were any persons desiring to make any further statements concerning Urban Renewal. All persons present were given an opportunity to be heard and no one in the audience indicated a desire to speak. The Mayor then declared the public hearing closed, and the regular meeting of the City Council was continued, at which the following business was transacted: City Attorney Holt presented a proposed Resolution calling a Special Election in the City of Denton, Texas, pursuant to Sections 5 and 16(a) of the Urban Renewal Law of Texas, and providing for the form of notice thereof and of ballot for use in said election, and he explained its provisions in detail.

STATEMENT OF POLICY This Council wishes to go on record in clarifying its position relative to the subdividing of land outside the City limits. It is contrary to the laws of the State of Texas and the ordinances of the City of Denton to subdivide land for the purpose of providing building lots within five miles of the City limits without first having a plat of the subdivision approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Denton. Further, it is contrary to State law and the City ordinances to subdivide property within two miles of the City limits without first having a plat of the subdivision approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and complying with the subdivision ordinance of the City of Denton. The ordinance requiring subdivision within two miles of the City limits to comply with the subdivision standards became effective in September, 1963. The City Council of the City of Denton has instructed the administrative staff to enforce these laws to the fullest extent possible using whatevermeans are available. We recognize the importance of private enterprise and financial gain to those who have not seen it desirable to comply with the la~vs, but we think that the orderly growth of our City, based on the provisions of the Master Plan, is more important to more people today and certainly to future generations, than a few dollars to those who have little or no concern about laws or proper development of our City. We are having to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars today to widen, straighten, and extend streets to provide an adequate thoroughfare system. We sincerely hope to be able to avoid this needless expenditure in the future. The term subdivision as used in the above statement of policy shall mean the division of any tract or parcel of land into two or more parts for the purpose, immediate or future, of sale or building development. Motion was made by Laney, seconded by Self that the Ordinance and Statement of Policy be adopted. On roll call vote Lagleder voted "aye", Laney voted "aye", Self voted "aye", Whitson voted "aye", Pemberton voted "no". Motion carried. 6.

On all new sewer services, the City of Denton will make the sewer~p and extend sewer line to back of curb. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to have installed the service line from the curb to the building. 2. The property owner shall be responsible for the maintenance of the service line from the building to the main sewer line in the street or alley except that the City will make necessary adjustments to these lines when required because of street or utility construction or reconstruction or in the case of damage to the service lines caused by street or utility construction. The City will replace sewer line to back of curb if damaged or defective. 3. In the event stoppage takes place in the service line between the sewer main and the building it shall be the responsibility of the property owner to remove the cause of the stoppage. If the stoppage [n the service line causes damage to the property because of overflow or for any other reason, the City shall not be responsible for thisdamage unless the City was responsible for the stoppage. 4. In the event a stoppage in a sewer main results in damage to private property, the City of Denton will reimburse the owner for the damage through negotiation based on the depreciated value of the damaged property plus cost of repairs. However, since certain areas are more prone to this .type of occurrence than others, reimbursement by the City for damages will be made to the property owner one time only. After the first occurrence it is the policy of the City that it is the obligation of the property owner to secure insurance covering this type damage or install devices to prevent future occur- rences or assume full responsibility for damages. Compensation shall be paid for property damages only, and shall not be paid for intangible items. PASSED AND APPROVED this 10th day of August, A.D. 1965. /s/Warren Whitson, ~r.
