City Council Meeting Minutes February 19, 2019 <br />information on the adoption site is blank and volunteers can help write bios. <br />David Sergi, spoke on behalf of SmarterSan Marcos.org. He reminded <br />Council of the days of Sessom Creek and the development they fought against <br />at that time. He referenced the Comprehensive Plan and asked if this SMART <br />Terminal project fits the criteria outlined in this plan. He then spoke about <br />policies and read the land use vision statement of the comp plan: "We envision <br />San Marcos as a community with balanced and diverse land uses that expand <br />our lifestyle choices while protecting and enriching our historical, cultural, and <br />natural resources." We must look at whether or not our comp plan can be <br />looked at when it comes to annexation. <br />Zachary Lopez, spoke on behalf of Bobcat Build and informed Council the <br />event will be held on April 13th. They are currently seeking job sites, with <br />applications due by March 1st. Request forms are located at the library and <br />online at bobcatbuild.txstate.edu. <br />Frank Parrott, spoke in opposition of the SMART Terminal project. He stated <br />that the San Marcos River is one of a kind. He stated that the vision of San <br />Marcos Comp Plan even states that "a river runs through us". He has heard <br />three reasons why we would put a Heavy Industrial Complex 1,250 feet from <br />the river. The first is to bring jobs to San Marcos, the truth is we currently <br />have full employment. Second he stated that our new land development code <br />will protect all and save all, but it will not win against all and human errors will <br />happen. Do not test the code with this project. The third is that the complex is <br />South and the springs will not be affected. However the terminal complex will <br />fowl the river to the south and will destroy habitat. <br />Written Statements were provided by Scott Cove, Mary Beth Harper, and <br />Sharri Boyett <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION <br />1.
