129 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING September 13, 1982 Page $10 Mr. Kreczmer stated that it seems that one individual is moving in buildings on the corner of Porter and Mitchell Streets which are substandard. Mr. Gonzalez stated that he is under a time frame for bringing them to standard, and he will not receive a Certificate of Occupancy until such time as they meet all code requirements. The Building Inspector has looked at the internal structure and lumber of the buildings and has determined them to be of good quality. It is conceivable that if they are not brought to standard, the City will find it necessary to utilize this very code. This code basically refers to structures lying vacant with nothing being done to them, no improvements planned. Mr. Kreczmer was concerned with Austin getting rid of these buildings, and San Marcos is taking them. Mrs. Mendez spoke to the room height requirement, and added that this was the reason Mr. Kraus could not bring his buildings into the city limits. Mr. Farr was under the impression that there is an eight-foot (8') height requirement. Ms. Wickersham stated that there is no City Building Inspector since Jack Major left. There being no further discussion, Mrs. Norris moved the ordinance be approved and adopted on third and final reading. Mrs. Mendez provided the second, and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of an ordinance on third and final reading, the caption of which was read as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF SAID CITY TO SET STANDARDS FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY ZONING COMMISSION, TO DESCRIBE CHARACTERISTICS AND/OR AREAS OF EXPERTISE OF EACH MEMBER ON EACH COMMISSION AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Brown moved the ordinance be approved and adopted on third and final reading. Mrs. Norris provided the second, and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of an ordinance on third and final reading, the caption of which was read as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING SECTION 3 OF THAT ORDINANCE WHICH REGULATES AND RESTRICTS THE LOCATION AND USE OF BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES AND LAND, DATED SEPTEMBER 29, 1980 (VOL~ 54) BY ZONING LOT NO. EIGHT (8) IN BLOCK NO. TWO (2) OF THE LINDSEY AND HARVEY ADDITION, A/K/A 503 HOPKINS AND 504 HARVEY, FROM "D" (MULTI- FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT) TO "C" (COMMERCIAL DISTRICT). Mrs. Norris asked if all concerns had been met. Mr. Gonzatez stated that an easement is on file. Mayor Craddock asked if the parking requirements had been met. Mr. Gonzalez stated that this is addressed during the permitting process. He added that that area will have traffic problems, but the applicant has participated to the extent which he can. He will have to meet all code requirements. Mrs. Norris spoke to the yellow curbing along LBJ at its intersection with Chestnut which is violated daily. The Chestnut Center being built has enough parking to address the shell which is being built. It any use is requested which requires additional parking, that will have to be provided or the use will not be allowed. Mrs. Norris moved that the ordinance be approved and adopted on third and final reading. Mrs. Mendez provided the second, and the motion passed unanimously.
