111 Regular Meeting July 22, 1985 Page 2 addressed the Council and wanted new language in the Ordinance regard- ing any property under 20 acres to be a PDD or PUD. Frank Robbins recited the definition of subdivision and Mr. Swift expressed approv- al of Mr. Robbins' interpretation. Mr. Swift requested amendment in Section 2.E.2. to read the bank of the San Marcos River rather than SMRC and "severe" rather than "secure" in the same paragraph. Also in Section 2.E. to add language "Subdivisions in which the smallest lot is ten acres or greater in size shall not be required to be a PDD or PUD or be rezoned to PDD or PUD". John Meeks suggested changes be made to Page 6, E.2. to do away with the double negative, and stated the runoff has not been addressed to his satisfaction. He reviewed charts with the Council where the City of Austin uses more stringent criteria, and the river still receives pollution. He suggested a method for handling the problem may be "absolute runoff criteria". No one else wished to speak, so Mayor Craddock closed the public hearing. Ms. Kissler moved to approve the Ordinance on first reading and Mr. Guerra seconded the motion. Mr. Farr moved to amend the Ordinance on Page 6, E.2. to delete the term "SMRC" and replace it with "San Marcos River" and in the same paragraph to change "secure" to "severe"; to delete the definition of "Caliper" in Section 3; to delete the word "developed" in the definition of Development in Section 3 which precedes "property"; Page 9, Section 6.B.4. to change the spelling of "practicle" to "practicable", and Ms. Kissler seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. City Manager Gonzalez requested direction from the Council regarding Page 8, Section 4.D. The Council directed at second or third reading they be provided alternatives to include Steve Jenkins' suggestions, the costs, and what is applicable and feasible for San Marcos. There was a consensus of Council to amend the Ordinance in Section 2.B.l. to change "Shebart" to "Shebarb"; in Section 2.B. on Page 4 to clarify by changing the Ordinance to read ". . . where Ed J. L. Green intersection with the Eckrant-Rock Outcrop Complex soil group, then generally northeast along this soil group's boundary 1000 feet from the centerline of the San Marcos River to its intersection with the beginning point near the intersection of Ed J. L. Green and West Laurel, then southeast along a line. . . ." On Page 6, Section 2.E.2. to add fl. . . San Marcos River Corridor because it is shown on the Hays, Guadalupe or Caldwell County Soil Conservation Service soil survey maps as being on soils that have a high or severe water ero- sion hazard, is not within 200 feet. . . ." On Page 6, Section 2.E. to add a no. 3 to read, "Subdivisions in which the smallest lot is ten (10) acres or greater in size shall not be required to be a PDD or PUD subdi- vision or be rezoned to PDD or PUD". The Council then voted unanimously for approval of the Ordinance on first reading, as amended. Mayor Craddock introduced a public hearing and approval of an Ordinance on first reading, the caption which was read as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING APPENDIX A, GENERAL ZONING ORDINANCE, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF SAID CITY TO ADD THERETO A SECTION 34A, ADOPTING ARTICLE I, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, OF CHAPTER 35 OF SAID CODE, AS A PART OF SAID APPENDIX A; AND DECALRING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mayor Craddock opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak in favor or in opposition to the amendment. No one did, so Mayor Craddock closed the public hearing. Mr. Farr moved to approve the Ordin- ance on first reading and Mr. Brown seconded the motion, which passed unanimously (Mr. Coddington was not present to vote on this item).
