The Mutual Broadcasting System, in cooperation with Family Theatre Incorporated, presents Toledo Smith, starring Dan Durye and Skip Holmeyer. Shirley Temple is your hostess.  Success has a way of coming to those who keep close to God, because the strength of prayer means not only God's help, it is also a personal incentive, a daily encouragement to keep trying in face of difficulties. You know, there's a saying that goes something like this, work as though everything depended on you, pray as though everything depended on God. It's the perfect formula for success, and all of us want to be successful, especially in our homes. We want our homes to be happy, and much of the happiness in any home depends on the mother of a family. God can and will help us if we ask His help, if we pray sincerely and earnestly and unselfishly, and with His help all burdens are lighter, all difficulties can find a solution. There isn't a mother in America, or the world today, who won't find new strength and inspiration when her family gathers together for family prayer. Family prayer means God is there, in your home. Family prayer is the greatest lift to success and happiness that any home can have. Shirley Temple will return following tonight's family theater play, starring Dan Der Ye and Skip Holmeyer in Toledo Smith. This is the story of a boy, a kid on the street corner. It might be your corner, it might be your boy. Not long ago he came from an average home, but things happen, sometimes they happen fast. Homes break up. That's how it was with Jimmy Smith, with his home. And his big brother Toledo, he was restless, wanted to travel, see things for himself. He'd been away for six months this last time. Jimmy didn't know where, didn't even know if he'd come back. Then one day Jimmy got a penciled postcard. Gav is like Toledo, write it briefly without waste action. It read, meet me Tuesday at the cafe on the corner. The cafe, you've seen places like it before. An eating place for everyone on the street, stained counter, weak coffee, and a waitress named Mabel. Ham and, over easy. Give me a cup of coffee, Mabel. A glass of milk is what you get, Jimmy. Look, I said I wanted a... I think you have a cup of coffee, Mabel. This is a celebration. Toledo. Yeah, yeah, I'm back. And don't bother telling me I'm looking great. I know. I've been waiting here for you, Toledo. I thought maybe something might have happened. No, nothing happened, kid. But things are gonna happen, start to happen, from right now. You got a job now, Toledo? I got connections, baby. Good connections. But right now I'm hungry. Let's have a couple of those famous steaks. Sure. A medium rare, a pear. You got a good memory, Mabel. You know, mine's not so bad either. Still get off at nine o'clock? Yeah. What do you say we take in the town? Old times' sake, that sort of stuff. Might be an idea. Good. We'll start over at... Toledo, your back. Jimmy said something about... Hiya, Norma. Toledo, where have you been? Me? Oh, I've been kicking around. You haven't changed a bit, Norma. Still always asking questions. Oh, I didn't mean anything, Toledo. I was only interested in... In my welfare, sure, I know. Everybody's real interested in me and my kid brother. Toledo, I've got... Come on, Mabel. What's with those steaks? Oh, by the way, Toledo, don't forget we got inflation. Our tops are two bucks a copy. Two bucks? Say, kid, have you got any dough? Sure, Toledo. Dinner's on me. Is the kid gonna pay for our taking in the town, too? Don't worry, Mabel. I got a few big deals coming up in a couple of days. Well, come around and see me in a couple of days, then. Okay. I guess nobody's changed around here. Tell me, you hungry, Mabel? Mm, I could eat. Good. You can eat those two steaks. Let's get out of here, Jimmy. What do you want, Norma? Can I walk with you? Why? I want to talk to you. Oh, it's your nickel, Norma. I wanted to talk to you alone. Well, I haven't got any secrets from the kid. Please, Toledo. You heard what he said, didn't you? Jim, get lost a minute, huh? I'll meet you at the corner. Okay. What's on your mind, Norma? Sit down here on the steps. Toledo, it's about Jimmy. Well, what about Jimmy? I don't want to worry you, Toledo. I know you got business or something that keeps you away, but Jimmy needs help. I've been trying to look out for him myself, but... Whatever kind of a scrape he's in, he doesn't need your help. The juvenile authorities were around last month. They asked questions. Perhaps I shouldn't have done it, but I said I was taking care of him. I even signed a paper. Who asked you to do anything like that? There have been robberies in the neighborhood. They were investigating. It might have meant the reformatory. Oh. So you think the kid's a thief, huh? I didn't say that. But you meant it. Keep talking, Norma. Tell me exactly what you're thinking. I'm no good and the kid's gonna end up just like me. That's what you're trying to say, isn't it? You're twisted, Toledo. You're all warped inside. You don't understand people because you don't try to. Everyone's your enemy. The whole world's against you. You've made up your mind to it. But that isn't enough to satisfy you. You've got to poison your own brother the same way. Yeah? You forgot one thing, Norma. Your soapbox. Good night. It's like old times, Jimmy. Waiting on the corner. Wondering what Toledo and Norma are talking about. Toledo says he's got connections. He said so in the restaurant. Big plans. Same old Toledo.  He's your big brother. Sure, it feels good to walk across the street with him now and go up to the room. The same room. The same old torn carpet. The same old dresser. You can use the bottom three drawers for your stuff, Toledo.  No, I got it, kid. Thanks. Jimmy. Yeah? How you been getting by since I've been gone? Dough-wise, I mean. Dough-wise? Yeah. Well... Look, look, you talk to me, small fry. Come on, what's the story? Well, I've been working after school in an auto park over on Sutter Street.  Then Mrs. Drake let me have the room for half price after you left. You kept it pretty good. Nice and neat. Well, Norma comes up sometimes and helps straighten things around. Hmm. She doesn't seem to be much of a housekeeper after all. How come? Leaving hubcaps laying around. Where'd you get this thing? Uh, fell off a new car the other night. Fell off? Sure. What'd you bring it home for? Well, some of the guys are selling them. There were three bucks. Oh, three bucks, huh? So this is what you're doing.  If you're gonna steal, steal big. I didn't steal nothing, Toledo. Car ornaments, three bucks a throw. You'll never get rich at those prices. Tell me some more about your job, kid. I got an idea. We may be going into business together. Well, Jimmy, looks like you're growing up. Toledo never took you in on anything before. Never told you much about those big deals of his. Makes you feel pretty good, doesn't it? Yeah. You listen closely while he talks. Watch him light a cigarette. He never saw Toledo like this before. So quick, nervous, impatient. He almost frightened you a little. You answer his questions, but you're still not sure what's on his mind. And then he says for you to go on to bed, he's got things to do.  And he crosses over to the corner garage. Hiya, Joe. What? Joe, so you're back, huh, Toledo? Yeah, for good. We still got those Thursday night poker games upstairs. You'll be showing up. Oh, maybe. Joe, you used to be quite a hand at painting cars. Used to be. Why do we... Okay, okay. Still the best job in town for the least amount of money, right? Check. And that back entrance to the garage. Is it still working, Joe? We don't use it now. Everything on the up and up, huh? Why don't we go into the office, Joe, and have a talk? What about the back entrance? Joe, you've been reading my mail. Well, Jimmy, you don't know what Toledo's been doing these days. Only he seems busy, and he's even given you an assignment. Doesn't make much sense, though. Taking down names and addresses off the registration slips of new cars that come into the parking lot. You don't understand it. Nothing's happened with all this talking about big deals. So you're thinking maybe nothing's going to happen. That is, until Toledo tells you he'll meet you after work and you walk down State Street with him. Let me see that list again, Jim. Here. This third guy. And I've been casing his house. He's a lawyer. Goes to a meeting every Friday night about this time. I still don't get it, Toledo.  I'll tell you something more right now. When this guy comes out of the driveway, you walk behind the car and play like you've been hit, got it? Uh-huh. He'll probably take you in the house and call a doctor. See that I get five minutes for a getaway. Getaway? We're putting a finger on the car. Now, here's how it'll be. Don't go in the house. Just stall. Then make yourself scarce and I'll meet you at the cafe. I didn't know we were going in for something like this. Kid, get smart. If you're gonna steal, steal big. Toledo, I don't want to be in business with you.  I figured this thing out. It's gonna work. Now tell it back to me. I don't like it. No kidding. Listen to me. You don't back out on me now. I mean, every big deal has got to be a boss man. Brains of the organization. Remember what I told you? Yeah. Did I ever give you a bum steer? No, I don't guess so, but we've never done any... This is your first lesson on being smart, kid. Be smart. Don't forget that. We're smart, huh? Come on. Question, Jimmy. How to become a partner in the smart guy's club? Your answer? Pay attention to your big brother. Believe what he tells you even though something inside you tells you it's wrong. But it's exciting. Big business. A quick getaway. Sure, Jimmy. You're thinking of what you'll be able to tell the kids on the corner. You pulled it off without a hitch. Someday, you may be a senior partner. Joe! Joe! Open up! There you have been. I've been ringing this bell for five minutes. I was in the front, I guess I didn't hear it. Oh, that's great. I got a hot car and you can't hear the bell. Come on. Let's get this thing inside. They're probably looking for this thing right now. You better get the engine number filed off quick. Give me an hour and the manufacturer himself won't be able to recognize this little beauty. Okay. I'll be over at the end of the day. Oh, Joe. Yeah? I can use a C-note. A hundred bucks. Yeah. Just to keep our little arrangement nice and legal. All right, Toledo. I'm an easy guy to do business with. There you are. Thanks. Hi, kid. Toledo, everything okay? Fine. Let's play this pinball machine. Hard to go with you. Can't let trouble get in the way until he saw the car going. I'm sorry. Toledo, what if the guy comes in the auto park again and recognizes me? He won't be able to prove anything. Relax, kid. Yeah, but Toledo's... Hey, hey, hey. Look. Look at that 50,000. Half a buck, you can't beat it. Oh, I don't want to play. I need some more nickels. Mabel. Yeah? Change this for me, will you? A hundred bucks. We ain't got that kind of Joe Toledo. Well, then I guess I better take my business elsewhere. Hello, Toledo. Hello, Teft. The guardian of law and order. Still pounding the same old beat, huh? Had your money on the counter? Yeah. What if he's a change for a guy like you? I'm making myself. Got a print and press up in the room. Jim, you got a couple of nickels? Yeah, here. Got a report on a stolen car tonight. Oh? It was seen in the neighborhood less than a half hour ago. Where were you about that time, Toledo? Check with my lawyer. Hello, Toledo. Officer Teft. Good evening, Mr. Hermes. Anything wrong? Maybe. Maybe not. Once more, Toledo. Where were you this evening?  Look at what you made me do. Tilt it. Toledo, maybe we better take a walk down to the station. You and your kid brother. Officer Teft. Yeah, Mabel? I can vouch for Toledo. He and the kid have been here for the last hour. You sure? Sure, I'm sure. I never forget a face. Or a hundred dollar bill. Okay, Mabel. Maybe talking to you later, Toledo. Hope you don't get another tilt. Toledo, in spite of what Mabel says, you and Jimmy weren't in the cafe tonight. I know I had dinner here. Why don't you go tell Teft? Toledo, what did you come back for? What is it that makes you want to keep on this way? Look, look at that one. Look, look, look. Well, what do you know? A hundred thousand. That ought to make me the new champ. It wasn't so long ago, Toledo, that a kid, a good kid, was working in a grocery store. And we went to picnics together and dances. And I helped his young brother with his arithmetic. And their mother worked hard to make things go...  I don't want to hear any of that.  Keep away from me. And keep away from Jimmy. You don't want to remember, do you? Things happen. It's all fine and dandy to sit on the front steps and give your girl your gold plate at high school ring and talk about the summer evening and say all the things you're going to do in this great, big, beautiful world. Maybe you'll believe it at the time and it's the most wonderful thing that ever happened. A lot of things look good when you look back. But it all happened yesterday. And this is today. The world is big, all right. But it's far from beautiful. Huh. Listen to me. Looks like I need this soapbox. Oh, go on home, Norma. Go on. Yes, Jimmy. You heard what he said. It sets your thinking and you accept Toledo's ideas. Then you start to copy his walk and the way he talks.  Tell everyone how important you are and what you're able to do. You learn something new every day. And maybe one day you'll get a promotion. You'll be the brains of the organization. Yes, you're looking for new excitement and you'll learn something new every day. Maybe one day you'll get a promotion. Yes, you're looking for new excitement now, Jimmy. You're keeping yourself busy. Hello, Globe Cafe? I want to talk to Mabel. This is Jimmy. Huh? She ain't there. She was there this morning. Quit? Oh, okay. No, no, huh? Goodbye. Hi, Norma. Hey, look, can I talk to you a minute? Come in. There's some apples over there. No, no, this is a business call, Norma. Hey, uh, you hear about Mabel quitting? No. Well, she did. I just call the cafe. Uh, look, I can't get in touch with Toledo before this deal goes through, but I'm supposed to meet him later. I don't know whether he'll like this or not, but I gotta trust you. Well, you can trust me, Jimmy. It's this way, see? We had a deal all worked out with Mabel. What's the deal? It's a deal with Alibi. Alibi? Look, I know you used to like Toledo a lot, didn't you? You'd help him, wouldn't you? Is he in trouble? No, it's this envelope. There's 50 bucks in it. You can use 50, can't you? Where'd you get that? If Taft comes around, you tell him we were upstairs all evening. That's all you have to do. You want me to lie for you. I really need you. Jimmy, we've known each other a long time. I hoped you any time I could, didn't I? Oh, what's that got to do with it? I even told the authorities I'd be your guardian. Jimmy, the way things are going now, you're hitting straight. Okay, okay, I get it. That's that. I don't know what you're doing, but whatever it is, I'm sure it's not right. Who says so? Listen to me, Jimmy.  You know what's right, but you're going wrong. It tells you there's shortcuts to get where you think you want to go. There are no shortcuts, Jimmy. And if you keep trying to cut corners, pretty soon you'll be hiding in them. I better go find Toledo. Mark another one off the list, Jimmy. Someone else you don't like anymore. Someone else you can't depend on. Just one of those little people Toledo talks about. It's too late to find an alibi now, so you meet Toledo at the auto park. Yes, there's a new angle in the technique tonight. Just like Toledo said. She wouldn't listen to me, Toledo. You ought to know better than to ask her. Don't bother with her anymore, like I told you. Okay. We'll get this thing into the garage before anybody misses it. Turn on the radio. Let's see if it's on the police calls yet. Why'd you take it off the parking lot? Why didn't we do it like before? Kid, you gotta be smart. Someone'll catch on if you pull the same stunt too often. Oh, I get it. Repeat, car 19, report to your station. Tension all cars, vicinity third in Maple, code 2, GTA suspect. Hey, that's a stolen car. Three young, 128. Hey, that's us Toledo. GTA suspect. Yeah, I know. Turn that thing off. Three young. Hey, you went through the signal. We gotta get to the g- A police car. I can see him.  We're gonna get caught. The garage is right around the corner. Take it easy, kid. Sit here. I'll ring the bell. Joe. Joe. Open up. Joe, do you hear me? Open up. Hey, Toledo, the- We better run for it. Jim, get out of there. Wait, Toledo. Don't leave me. Wait for me, please. To solve one partnership, Toledo goes one way, and Jimmy, you go the other. And you learn something else, Jimmy. Something you never realized. The police are smart, too. They work fast and surely.  You don't have to plan alibis now, Jimmy. Your award of the city fingerprinted, locked up, and on your white card filed under Smith, it says, hold for district attorney. All right, son. Come with me. What are you doing here, Norma? Officer Taft asked me to come. He says you won't answer their questions. I ain't talkin', see? You're in trouble. Serious trouble. You realize that these men think you know where Toledo is. You've got to tell them. They can't make me talk. Jimmy, Jimmy, how can I reason with you? What kind of thinking has Toledo taught you? Can't you see nobody can help you if you get this way? Norma, I... Do you know where Toledo is? No. Is that the truth? Yes. Norma... Norma, I'm scared. Oh, Jimmy, why weren't you scared a long time ago? Didn't you know what you were doing? I don't want to get set up. I'll do everything I can for you. You can depend on me, Jimmy. You believe that? Yes, I believe you. County Courthouse, Municipal Court 23, Judge Ralph Stevens presiding. Yes, Jimmy. You feel kind of small as the bailiff takes you into that big room. No arrogance now, just anxiety. You listen to the man in the long black robe. James Smith, this is an unpleasant task I must perform. Here you are, a boy of 15, and somehow, some way you've been led into mistakes. What you did was wrong. You know that? Yes, sir. And you know why it was wrong. There are some 140 million people in this country. We have laws to protect their rights and their property. Everyone's entitled to these things, and in turn, no one is entitled to infringing them. But there's something more than that, Jimmy. There's such a thing as a basic moral law. These are high-sounding words, and maybe hard for you to understand. Do you know the Ten Commandments? I heard them a couple of times in Sunday school. If you had practiced them, Jimmy, you wouldn't be here now. That's what's been missing in your life, and maybe a number of people are equally responsible for that. But you are here before this court. Therefore, it's the decision of this court... Order! Order! I know this isn't the right way to do it, but I've got to talk to you. I'm Toledo Smith, Judge. I don't look so good. That's not a kind of I've been hiding out. You've got to hear me out, Judge! I got ahold of a paper yesterday. Read about what was happening. Yeah, and I know what I'm walking into, but that's not important anymore. Judge, I thought I was a big shot. I was teaching him things. I was telling him how to... how to do big things. He didn't want to mix in this, honest, Judge. But he believed everything I said. I want to tell him when I'm standing here it was all the wrong way. This is the truth, the straight of it. I guess there are other guys like me steering kids bad. Those are the ones that ought to go to jail, Judge. Guys like me, but the kid isn't like me. Give him another chance. Please, Judge, you've got to give him another chance. Half a mile from the courthouse to the railroad station, Jimmy, a group of prisoners handcuffed in twos, and the story is almost at an end. Norma grips your hand as the prisoners start boarding the train. Incoming train, the El Capitan. Local 28, now loading on track two. Board? Getting ready to leave. Yeah. Take care of yourself, kid. You too, Toledo. It won't be tough, kid. Not anymore. I'll be seeing you, huh? Sure, Toledo. Look out for him, huh, Norma? You can count on me, Toledo. Yeah. I should have learned that a long time ago. What? Come and visit me. We will. I'll write you. Every day I'll write you. So long. So long. Toledo Smith. This is Shirley Temple again. You know, listening to Dan Durrier and skip home our splendid portrayals in Toledo Smith, I got to thinking of the variety of causes. The many reasons for the juvenile delinquency you read so much about in the newspapers today. But isn't it true, of all influences in children's lives, our homes are the most important influence? Outside organizations are wonderful, but they can only supplement the example and inspiration children should first receive from those closest to them, from their parents. If on this day, all homes throughout the land began the practice of daily family prayer, within a year, most of the juvenile delinquency problems that exist today would disappear. Family prayer is an insurance against delinquency. Family prayer is the insurance of peace and happiness in our homes. Because with God's protection and help, the family that prays together stays together. Before saying good night, I'd like to thank Dan Durrier and Skip Holmeier for their performances this evening. Our thanks to Mark Carney and Lou Reed for writing tonight's play, and to Max Turf for his music. This production of Family Theater Incorporated was directed by David Young. Others who appeared in tonight's play were Ann Tobin, Rita Lynn, Jim Nusser, Ken Christie and Sy Kendall. Barry Kroger was your narrator. Next week, our Family Theater stars will be Dennis Day and Alan Reed, Radio's fall staff, Openshaw. In Wanted, One Baby. Your host will be Paul Henry. This is Shirley Temple saying good night, and God bless you. This series of the Family Theater broadcast is made possible by the thousands of you who felt the need for this kind of program. And by the mutual broadcasting system, which is responsible for this need, be with us next week at the same time when our Family Theater stars will be Dennis Day and Radio's fall staff, Openshaw, Alan Reed with Paul Henry as host. Tony LaFranco speaking. This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.


So, it's Connor Shively, our vice president, board of tenants, Shafiou, it's Shafiou back. Now, you will be here shortly. Gary Koss, our treasurer, and you can use to pay, can we see you, and make sure you sign in with him as well. And, that's just the period. Okay, that's, that's before we get started. Well, what's being tonight is gonna take, it's gonna be involved, Garrett Phillips from the city's planning office to discuss the meeting part of the association Action Plans that are part of the SA Tomorrow initiative. But a few quick introductions. We have, I'm the lead chief introducer, so, yeah, let's say a few words. Hi folks, I'm Richmond Lloyd Doggett. Our office is downtown. If you know where the new Frosting Tower is starting to shoot out, we're right across the road from that. I'm handing out little survey cards. I've got our office's information. Congressman Doggett loves to hear everyone's opinions. We've got about half naked park, and he's always super receptive to folks who are in San Antonio without a district. If you've got issues with any sort of federal agencies, we can certainly help you out with that. And then if you've got opinions you wanna share on any federal issues, certainly feel free to give us a call or just fill out one of those survey cards and send them out. And we'd be happy to hear from you and happy to help with anything that you've got federally related. So, I appreciate you all's time. I know you've got a busy meeting ahead, so I'll get out of your way. But thank you so much for listening. Can we introduce Mr. Locan, who's our board of the neighborhood? Yes, Charlie Lopez. I've met quite a few of you. I know that a lot of you are concerned about different things. If you don't have my information, she has it. Got my email, got the phone number. Give me a call, drop me a line. I get calls on a daily basis about all kinds of stuff. For me, I tell it about it. I work for you. City Senate don't even give you the paycheck, but they get the money from you guys. That's all. I do work for you. Give me a holiday. We have to help you out. Another great announcement regarding our future meetings. For each meeting, it's gonna be on the tomorrow morning. It's going to be on Friday. And we're going to play at seven. And the beginning might be a better time to start, especially now that we're going to do the happy hour afterwards. So that we can have a monthly seven to nine community discussion monthly. Okay, so we will follow up with an announcement about that at the page. All right, and now I'm going to go ahead and turn the meeting over to... Thanks, Holly. Hi, my name is Gerard Phillips. I work for the City of San Antonio planning department. And I've been to Makin' Park Neighborhood Association these a couple of times in the last year to talk about a project that our department is working on called the Big Town Career Plan. And so I'm back again tonight to speak a little bit, but really this time, change it up and ask that you spend most of the time between talking and sharing some ideas about your preferences for the future of Makin' Park and Broadway, forward work. So I'm going to tell you a little bit about this area. The Big Town Plan, it's a big picture plan. It covers areas all the way from Makin' Park to Five Points and Fredericksburg Road in Makin' Park. So it's a large area. We're thinking, big picture, we're thinking about the long-term future, you know, the next 10 to 20 years, the next generation, the next stage in our lives. So tonight, I'm going to speak for only about 10 more minutes and then we're going to have group discussions or at the table for you to see for about 25 minutes. We're going to ask that you report out on your discussions in a larger group. And then we'll have about 15 minutes for me to just answer your questions and for us to talk as a larger group. So I'm going to give you instructions and everything we need to know to have a good conversation in a little bit as I go through this and the introduction, okay? So, the Big Town Euro Plan will address Makin' Park's transportation, amenities and housing and economic development, all in a really big picture fashion. You know, who do we think we are that we can make a plan on all these topics for 20 years? It's definitely pretty general, that's how we do it. Community engagement is really important, understanding local knowledge, things that the community does, local preferences, the ways that you think a plan will affect your lives in the future. We use a variety of tools to do that. A few of the most important ones are companies and meetings like this. So then you don't have to come to a meeting or to a meeting, but on. So we intersect you, so to speak. We also have a few of our other meetings where we ask people to come for a couple of hours. And then we have an advisory planning team made up of stakeholders and representatives from around that area, I showed you on the map. And they meet several times to give us input as well. So it takes about a year to make the plan. You start with understanding existing conditions, doing some additional thinking about what we care about for the mental health of the community. Then we start working on a plan framework, making a big picture about the future. Now it's time to start getting a little bit more specific and actually writing down and mapping our recommendations for the future. By May, we need to have a relatively final draft plan. Still in draft, it'll change after May. So the next two months are really important to get work in the input as we write the plan. And then for about three months this summer, we'll be doing more public meetings with the city council and planning commissioning and ultimately asking for city council to adopt the plan. And public comment and public input is welcome throughout the entire process. It's most effective sooner and in the next couple of months. So as I said, we'll be putting draft, I didn't say that, we'll be putting draft plan sections online. There's already a couple of the earliest stage plan sections online. I'll write this when it's a larger print for you guys in a little bit. The draft plan in May, and then a three-month adoption process where the plan will be further revised. So how can you participate at this meeting tonight? You can participate by emailing me by submitting comments online in response to the online draft plan content. And there's gotta be another public meeting that both of them are and invite you to come for two hours. And I can also come back to the Manning Park Neighborhood Association. I've set that probably well, but I think it's a matter of land. You have time for me rather than if I will come back. So the plan, as I said, has several topics. And one of them is a section that's just about each neighborhood. So section is just about Manning Park where the unique and local issues specific to Manning Park that aren't the same in West Florida lines and Tobin Hill, where we can talk about those assets, challenges, opportunities, and priorities for the future. So that's one of the things I want to talk with you about tonight and ask for your input on. We'll use this discussion to change the draft priorities that we wrote. We wrote those based on other conversations that I have with Manning Park residents at public meetings and coming to neighborhood association meetings. So it needs work, that's what I'm going to talk about tonight. And then we'll post it online and then we can comment on it more but we can change it later, okay? So, I'll do this manual for you guys. It's asking if we start the computer now in 10 minutes or a day. Let's say, maybe the option for four hours, let's do that, okay. Okay, so the draft priorities and we certainly expect this room for improvement here would be to continue updating the neighborhood conservation district standards, which the neighborhood is working on right now and improve the city's interpretation, implementation and enforcement of the standards. As more development happens on Broadway, try to leverage that to make a more multilateral transportation system with better connections in and out of the neighborhood on those blocks that are immediately adjacent to Broadway. Continue calling out that formal housing is an issue in Manning Park, but there is still, but then it's threatened and that the city needs to allocate some resources to help maintain that affordable housing and try to incorporate some new affordable housing and development as well. Prevent the demolition of buildings that contribute to neighborhood character is a topic that's about time again in conversations. And finally, Manning Park has a very stark history of being involved in public decision making and we've heard that the city can improve and how it verifies the neighborhood of the decision that is making so that the neighborhood does have more time and is more empowered to affect those decisions. So does the draft priorities. Maybe we can improve them, maybe we can add to them. Maybe there are things that are actually more unique to Manning Park, maybe these are true, but maybe they're not as unique as something else that we can discuss together. So the next thing we're going to talk about are discussions of future land use and the future land use plan. So future land use is a guide for future development. It's a tool to help the city make future decisions about what kinds of things get built in the neighborhood and on the wildlife. It's about the law of balance. It's not the zone code, it's not specific design standards about what the building, the size of the data. It's not the neighborhood conservation district. It's much bigger picture. Here, so the land use code is in the two instead of in the cities. It is, yeah, it's like a precursor to zoning in some of the land use plan. It says you have to include it in that zone. It's not zoning. It's not zoning code, it's simple. Yeah, yeah. So it's a heavy, it's a big deal. Yeah, it's really important. When the zoning commission makes decisions about the zoning property, they don't use the land use plan to help guide the decision. Well, they are late. They're required to, but a lot. So they're supposed to, you know. They're supposed to, but I mean, I'm sitting here listening to all this and I'm really kind of wondering if the neighborhood really does this and participates. Yeah. And people put all their effort and time into this. Is this really, like, is the city really going to pay attention to everything you're causing? I am here to pay attention and to memorialize the conversation outdoors and writing and to take the feedback that you give me along with technical analysis and feedback that we get from many other places and write a plan with my colleagues. And that plan's supposed to be part of it. Okay, so that's the most. That's the most. Yeah. And that's the most that I can say. Plans have been made in cities including San Antonio throughout history that have some things that get implemented and some things that don't. If you don't make a plan and it's certainly, it wouldn't be able to do that. There is some faith involved. And we have an hour that I'm asking for you to try to participate out of the world with us. And we also have a 15-minute Q&A after the activity that we really need to focus the questions and discussion into this large group. Otherwise, we might get into the smaller conversations. So the Future Land Use Plan or the Future Land Use Plan is made of three things. It's a map where we assign categories to places in the midtown and in the neighborhood. It's different than zoning in one way. Like I said, the patterns are different. We don't assign a category to each parcel, alternating one-off, one-off, for example, like a zoning map sometimes looks like. This is a whole neighborhood of a Byzantium's church that has a single category of a statue and the four of our next two friends. The same thing. The categories, there's about 22 of them and they're used to the whole city. So what a challenge that we have to use 22 categories that are specific to the midtown, let alone make a park, to try to make a plan for the future of this area. So how do we do that while honoring all of the unique qualities of a place like this? We do it by moving it past the categories in the map and adding text and describing what do we mean and what do we want for the future. It goes next to the map. So that's a really important part of this plan and it's part of the input that I want to get from the ultimate in our solid discussion. So we made a draft Future Land Use Map based on many private lands, based on values and principles that we've heard of community engagement over the last several months. And this is it. This is the draft map. And like the neighborhood action strategies, the draft map is like a first pass and the one thing I know about it is that it has to be, it will be improved. And that we need your help to do that. So in this first pass over the map, you can see that the corridors, like Fredericks Road Road, San Pedro, Main Street, McCulloch, St. Mary's and Broadway, they're all color purple and that means that it's a mixed use, sort of a mix of a harvest, businesses and the like, for example. That's a purple color. The lightest purple being the lightest and sort of least intense form of development. So that can see on St. Mary's, McCulloch and Forest, right? You can see similarities in those places. The smaller scale, smaller street, San Pedro and parts of South Broadway having the most intense development, the darker purple is what we put on the map. So those are just a few examples. In Mankin Park, north of the neighborhood, we call the Herbutlund density residential and that includes anything and a mix from single family development up to triplexes and potentially fourplexes and based on the conversation I've had so far, that doesn't seem like just a mapping map with that category, like that's okay. Like we need to add some text and put some boundaries on that description that I just didn't think. So I'm hoping that our conversation tonight will be that. South of Mankin Park, it's high density residential and that's to reflect the existing up to 33 units per acre zone that's allowed primarily in Niagara. So that's what we call high density 33 units per acre is included in that. There too, I think we need to be more specific and say what we need, maybe we need to change the map as well. So that's why we're here. Okay, so I just talked about this slide on the last slide. Okay, so today's discussion will influence the map, it will influence the text that goes with the map and I'll tell you right now the discussion isn't actually going to be about the map. I'm not having outmaps for us to draw, to redraw boundaries and change the categories. We're going to talk about the principles that our partner can use as we write the plan and change the map. You're also welcome to draw the map and turn those into me if you want or have to take a photo of your map and you're done. But for you to have a productive group conversation, I will ask that you put the map aside for the group conversation to the most part and try to engage with the way this activity is structured. So that's what I'm not going to introduce. Okay. So for the neighborhood action strategies discussion, each person has a piece of paper. The work part on the top. And I will ask that you each person table if anybody is not a table, each one is a table. And now our partner just gets a table. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Excuse me. Excuse me. Thank you. Okay. The first activity we want to introduce is the Okay, for the first activity, we want to look at the neighborhood action strategies. So what we'll ask you to do, you can have a piece of paper and hold it up, and you can read the instructions, consider the list of neighborhood action strategies at the bottom of the page that I presented to you earlier, think about how those could be improved, but maybe more broadly, think about if something's missing. So those are the three questions involved. Answer those questions by writing them on a yellow sticky note, so that I can photograph what you write, and I can make sure that I actually even learn everything that's been said. So after you write down, there's the office, take a couple minutes to do that. Then the leader at your table, which is Joan, Matthew, Butch, Holly, and Connie, or Morgan, will help collect the sticky notes on this board. So I'll be in one place for your table and for me to photograph in the end, and we'll have your ideas on the neighborhood action strategies there. So you have 10 minutes to do that, really short. After that, we're going to talk about the future land use, okay? So that's the back side of the piece of paper. And there are four principles that could be used to guide us in making the map and write the text to the plan. So what I'm hoping you can do is add your thoughts next to these on whether you think it's a good idea, or a bad idea, or a bad idea. But more importantly, it's really important that this not be a yes or a no kind of change to you. I want to know, like, really what you think in a complete sentence about this. So if you say, if you read number one, and it says, closest to shopping, parking, bus stops, more housing units should be allowed, then it carries further away. And you say, well, what does he mean by that? I actually want you to tell me what you think is okay. Like, if you think that's not okay at all, then say that. If you think that might be okay, you're right next to shopping. You'll get 100 feet of it. But nowhere near getting into the neighborhood. Then say that. If you think, yeah, that's a great idea. I'm pretty much okay with that. So I'm going to city implement or interpret this comment. Then write that, okay? But I want you to actually collaborate on what you mean, okay? But yes, yes, no, it's not as helpful. Okay, so that's it? So we're going to have to get the words, like, each of them read in the long term? Nope. Nope. I can come back. I mean, it's really good to have a strategy to get people on the bus. It's about 10% of the group. And we'll ask someone from each group to come up for a little bit of a summary. I'm also going to talk about the group leaders. I'm going to come to this to make sure that I understand the things that are written and potentially to follow up on some of the things that are set. So we're going to do this. I'm going to try to make this possible. A couple things to discuss at one. We have a suite of tree planting and wildfire planning of public space. It also notes on encouraging use of underutilized park spaces. Priority to maintaining the distinction as a commercial first plan. For the ethnic park master plan, a new commercial will be on the first walk from Broadway. Provide off-movement parking structures to help protect residential streets and character. Save grass and demolition nets to help combat demolition and building technology. It should be a priority list, stopping us from the group that needs to be improved. Parking the bike lane, back from the main roads going through nearest residential streets should be limited. Once again, respecting the main park master plan, conservation districts, we must be enforced. More notes about pedestrian walkway across the Broadway. We'll keep the buses out of the neighborhood. Move them to the front doors and go right. Next question. I was wondering how you seem to go, I was asked a question that was important to the 15 minutes for a question and answer at the end. And right now we're on track to having to guide out from 7 to 10. And that's probably a little two to four time than everybody can take to do this. So we could try to sort it out for them. Alright. Just to be honest with you. Alright, so for number one, discussion part two, I'll be ready to send it. I'll be clear on sending it. Number three, note first, walkway should be on the top of first of all, Broadway. We do not want to have a cluster of most family houses that will decrease education efforts. Such a small land area, the entire development is under pressure. Our entire neighborhood is in close contact. So we do. Number two, more iceboards and links to the lab tomorrow. Diminish the number of characters. Price should not be a lot. There are just a small loss. Duplex. So today, I'd like to share with you a little note. Duplex. One of the things she wanted to know, off the apartment, provided a landowner on number three, new development, just by the grade of new development, should support existing and good character. Corrective living, because of existing qualities. We preserve the fabric. We develop the format of existing. Good idea. It's for new development. And then for number four, two new loopholes in zoning code. We're talking zoning code, which should be updated to current housing. Once again, two products, statement, basically, it just needs to be liable. It's a little tricky. We have two different areas. So number four. Thank you. I can't read everything. So if you don't, if you don't read everything, that's, that's okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you. And we actually have very few individual cities. We spent a large time talking about more general issues in terms of the failure of the board adjustment, all the NCD issues related to encroachment by commercial entities into the residential area of the issue of landlords or owners allowing their properties to decline. So the demolition... demolition we have to get around demolition guidelines and to, you know, maybe support owners who were financially unable to maintain their homes or support that might be able to to help particularly older residents or low-income residents with support, maybe not all that support that's going to developers. Those are some of the main points that we've got. Thank you. Thank you. Butch, are any other volunteers for the day today? Okay. Part one. Drainage in the area is in the new 100-year floodplain. And maybe it would be a stress particularly for an older area that's up around in their sidewalks and haven't been constructed in all the area particularly which page 41. The neighborhood plan has some areas that suggest sidewalks should be constructed or reconstructed. Part of that is the plan but that should continue. Okay. I and me should go both ways. The neighborhood association should have a way to better communicate their recommendations for public works projects which projects as a neighborhood prioritize. Parking system, parking system, shared public parking facilities, new housing that is more keeping with neighborhood neighborhood established development centers, carriages behind the houses and finally parking problems restrict business parking on residential streets. These are quick and short. Number three. We agree with this. I see to your time you're not still short but a little tough. Number two. Should be avoided at all costs. Number four. In the future should be limited to the codes that are currently in effect. Number four. And it's number one. You're going to love this move. This is another short one. Delete. Delete. Number one. Number one. Delete. We see the relevance of this. We see the relevance of this. Nobody's right. Suburban areas. Yeah. I was able to understand. Okay. On the front we have a lot of talking about parks and reducing the park and making park. Three ways and trees as well. Sidewalks. There's things to add. And also affordable housing in community housing. That's how we address, I think, that pretty well sums it up, correct? Okay. Then on the back, for number one, to keep things on Broadway, they were very, very, very close to it. They're larger. Number two, no, no, no, no, no. Bad idea. And that the N.C.B. is too restrictive that the N.C.B. and the N.C.B. and the duplexes and triplexes should not be allowed. Three, okay? And four, any kind of what they said at the current time. Thank you. Thank you. So priority A, we said we got answer number one, A. And we also said that N.C.B. should be under the authority of the historic preservation. And we had a system. D is priority two, prevent demolition. C was our priority three, using the language of high quality, accessible and affordable. And also the priority should be in line with the mayor's housing task force. And then B was priority four. B was priority five. We also added that it should improve the green space that we're making part. And some problems that we see in some projects are we don't know about the AT&T, that we don't know about the AT&T. It is a problem. And then we have traffic. The speed of traffic in our neighborhood and parking in our neighborhood. And then to know the values, number one bad, number two bad. Three, the idea that it may take to keep character and scale of the neighborhood. Four, we said a little bit of discussion. We said should be no up zoning and no ADZ zoning and then only replacement in time, meaning the current and single family moving together. And then I want to also say that it's not all for zero. There'll be more opportunities to comment on that yourself, whether you make more changes. For now, a web page where you can actually click on specific locations and comment on those. It can also be more technical. Yeah, the web page. So before we do the Q&A, I just want to thank you very much for engaging in that conversation. And taking the time to do that and giving the opportunity to listen and to share your thoughts. The web page is here. And I also wrote it down on a large piece of paper on the information bar over here. And there's four pieces of paper that you can take home with information on them. So that would be exactly because there's a few hearts that are 845. 845. About. Kind of hard. We can't delay the staff when we're leaving here. Yeah. So I didn't want to, we wanted to, you can write this down. So anyway, thanks a lot. And I'm here now to answer your question. Yes. In your presentation, you had mentioned that your plan is going to go to city council. The plan is going to have community input, but won't be voted on by the, by the community. Only the input. Are you going to take your plan to the zoning board or zoning committee as well as council? We'll take the draft plan to accept any of the city council, call it the comprehensive plan. That's a few council members. We'll take it to the planning commission. And then we'll take it to the full city council. Now we won't, before it's adopted, which we're hoping for it to be adopted in August by city council, we will not take it to zoning commission first. There after however, zoning commission is supposed to use it if it's adopted to guide their decisions. Now it's possible that our director is thinking about protecting the plan to the zoning commission beforehand and educating them on it, which would probably be a good idea. But they're not for the adoption process to make it official. Okay. Any others? Yes. The comment we were making, that's the other two will be as well as about the program. It always struck me that we were wanting Broadway to be redeveloped before the transfer to develop a quarter of it. You've got to get it to do from a suburban design street, which is really what it is evolving from, where everyone owns their own parking lot. And that's a key determination. Suburb is everyone owns their own parking lot. And to a urban street where there is a shared parking resource. We could have that ongoing issue. And it's still there with the museum owns their own parking and it's sold to other areas. Witte is on the park in terms of number of spaces available. And so there you have that. You really need to look at a system of public parking lots along Broadway so that you're not wanting each developer to build their own parking structure. Or to do that, then you're only going to get members to develop along Broadway. Because who can afford to do that one large footprint of those and do that.  And so if you're in a quantity, so if I'm mistaken, you took the way of the turds for Broadway, right? The turds, the turd batteries still include its problem. It's still a defect. But all the money's been spent now in the portfolio. Okay. So the money and resource will do that. But if you're in a quantity of their mail, if you don't want the parking to approach and build a neighborhood, where's the parking to go? Or are you going to have inefficient development on Broadway? Yeah, it's a difficult discussion. Especially when you add in the idea that you look out for 20 years and the parking demand might be quite different, actually, depending on how technologies advance. You don't know, right?  And you have to think about the wisdom of that from a business perspective and investing public dollars. And we're still driven, right? So we just did it a lot, and maybe we'll keep going. Thank you for sharing that. The reason that we all said this was a bad idea, which should be higher because I think we all realize that there is no part of the management that is close to where we're not and doing this now. Yeah, so when I was thinking this worksheet with the first principle, close to the amenities like shopping in an American bus stop, more housing than an additional amount of areas, close to the amenities in an American bus stop. I've been thinking about, you know, we've heard a lot of conversation where some more development is probably appropriate on the blocks adjacent to Broadway. We've heard that a lot. A lot of concern about new development inside the neighborhood. And I was wondering about like, you know, one to two blocks away from Broadway. And I think based on the conversation there, and I think you can read the responses, but it sounds like, you know, there's a lot of concern about any sort of higher density development, even like town homes or duplex, triplex type redevelopment, even in existing buildings. It's the same traditional looking house. Even like on the second walk in from, it's what I've learned down here. There are only four to five blocks. Yeah. But in some cases, you don't have one of the blocks. So, I would be careful using those terms. Yeah. We live on the street, it's the tenth of a mile neighborhood. Yeah. Well, I think it's a problem with that statement itself, because if you want people in the neighborhood that's using the park, just because they're using the park, they don't have to live and walk away. If you leave what's in the park across town, they don't have to live here to use that park. Yeah, it's a small one. I didn't use the park. Don't think you're using the park when people are in the neighborhood. People are using the park from all over the city. They don't have to live in this city. They don't have to use the park. That's here in ZN because they live in ZN. Wherever Washington is, they're going to come to the museum. So, don't think you have to have a house in here because they won't use it here. They come here because that's the way we're going to do it. So, why don't you have a house in here? I have a question about the way you're going to use the park. They came from a lot of your conversations at this park. In town, over the last few months. But not necessarily in the park. No, I'm familiar with their general practices. Yeah, but that's a mistake. It's not necessarily people that live in the park. Sure. Thank you.
