City Council Meeting Minutes May 4, 2021 <br />There being no further comments, Mayor Hughson closed the Public Hearing <br />at 6:35 p.m. <br />MAIN MOTION: A motion was made by Council Member Gleason, seconded <br />by Mayor Pro Tem Derrick, to approve Ordinance 2021-02, on the first of two <br />readings. <br />Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott inquired about an access point for emergency <br />personnel and asked if this is a guarantee. Ms. Wunsch stated there are two <br />locations to access Saddlebrook as a connection point, but this may not be an <br />ideal solution as this is not a preferred route for emergency personnel because <br />Saddlebrook has speed bumps and a low posted speed limit. Mr. Scott asked if <br />just manufactured homes will be placed in this community. Ms. Wunsch stated <br />that is all that is being proposed. <br />Mr. Santos stated they are only doing manufactured homes in the community. <br />Council Member Baker inquired about the equity piece and noted that these <br />houses do not appreciate very well in value. He wants to mitigate the negative <br />outcomes associated with manufactured homes. He would like the homeowner <br />to have the opportunity to buy the land. <br />Council Member Gonzales inquired about the age of manufactured homes. <br />Mr. Santos stated for aesthetics reasons, no manufactured home older than <br />five years will be allowed. He inquired about the lot size and Mr. Santos stated <br />the lots will be a minimum of 5,000 square feet. He believes ownership of the <br />lot is important. Mr. Santos stated if we go this route they would be competing <br />in another market with a different product. <br />Mayor Hughson asked if they plan to place any homes or will residents have to <br />bring their own. Mr. Santos stated there will be some homes for sale. <br />Mayor Hughson noted that our MH zoning is similar to a traditional <br />neighborhood. Ms. Mattingly noted that sidewalks and landscaping are <br />required. <br />Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott also inquired about occupancy restrictions. Ms. <br />Mattingly confirmed that does not apply in MH zoning. He also inquired if <br />rent -by -the bedroom would be allowed. Ms. Wunch stated that it would not be <br />allowed. <br />City of San Marcos Page 6 <br />
