Mayor Younger introduced for consideration a public hearing and approv- al of an Ordinance on first reading, the caption which was read as fol- lows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS BY TRANSFERRING CERTAIN SECTIONS PERTAINING TO DEVELOPMENT OVER THE EDWARDS AQUIFER RE- CHARGE ZONE FROM ARTICLE VI, SECTION F AND SECTION H, TO A NEW ARTICLE VI, SECTION M AND PROVIDING IN THE NEW SECTION M FOR WATER QUALITY CONTROLS IN CRITICAL WATER QUALITY ZONES, PROVIDING FOR INSPECTIONS, PROVIDING FOR PLAN APPROVAL AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mayor Younger opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak for or in opposition to the amendment. Mr. Robbins stated the amendment was presented to protect water quality and protect the water supply and character of the hill country. Shirley Wickersham stated she had served on the Citizens Advisory Committee, and that she felt this amendment was a Staff oriented Ordinance with no techni- cal expertise on the Committee which assisted in drafting it. John McCrocklin wanted to know who wrote the section on filtering of con- taminants and felt the words in Section 3.g.(3) "total dissolved solids" should be removed. Mr. Robbins stated the language of the Ordinance largely comes from Austin's Ordinance and was modified through the San Marcos River Corridor Ordinance. Mr. McCrocklin stated he felt the language in our Ordinance basically follows Austin's Ordinance and pointed out that more times than not, Austin's Ordinance fails, and that the items we list need to be reasonable. Mr. McCrocklin asked how we determined a need for 64-acre basins in Section 3.4.a. and Mr. Robbins responded there was no technical reason, that it was simply designed after the Barton Creek Ordinance of 1980. Mr. McCrocklin pointed out Austin's Ordinance works a hardship on development, as would our Ordinance even though it is not as stringent as Austin's.
