I I I regular meeting, may 29, 1979 page three 130 Mr. Pearcy suggested the Council consider making all existing operations non-conforming in nature and allow them to continue to operate under the old ordinances. Mr. Pearcy also pointed out objections to the provisions of the ordinance relating to noise control, privacy fences, parking lot services, the power of immediate suspension of licenses, variances to regulations in the ordinance, and the wording of the paragraph regarding the class C misdemeanor. Mr. Sutton suggested that the City Planning and Zoning Administrator, the City Attorney, and Mr. Pearcy meet to discuss the ordinance and see if a workable solution could be found. Mr. Hyatt submitted Mr. Sutton's suggestion in a form of a motion authorizing the City Attorney, City Manager, the Planning and Zoning Administrator to meet with the Attorney for the Tavern Owners and Operators Association. Mr. Tenorio seconded the motion which passed unanimously. At 8:55 p.m., the Council recessed at the direction of the Mayor and reconvened at 9:05 p.m. Dr. W. B. Stouffer came before the City Council with a request that the City close Hamilton and Girard Streets at their intersections with Bishop Street to prevent those streets being used by Castle Forest Subdivision residents as connections to Franklin Drive and Ranch Road 12. Mr. Breihan requested a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission before any decisions were made and stated it would be very difficult to close those streets since it would obstruct traffic out of the Oak Heights Addition on to Bishop Street and because the City would be required to purchase the property and construct cul-de-sacs at the ends of the streets in order to close them. Mr. Breihan also stated that he felt the completion of the Bishop Street reconstruction and improvement would encourage people to use that street rather than driving to Franklin and on to Ranch Road 12. Mr. James moved to direct the City Manager to solicit a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and to submit that to the Council along with staff recommendations. Mr. Breihan seconded the motion. On roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYE: Cavazos, Hyatt, Hansen, James, Tenorio, Breihan NAY: None. Mr. Sutton did not participate in discussion on the item, having taken a seat in the audience for its duration, and did not vote on the motion. The Mayor introduced for consideration approval of contract documents for sale of the Old City Hall Building and demolition of the City Hall annex. The City Manager recommended the Council consider approval of the demolition contract document for the City Hall annex with the stipulation that demolition be completed prior to sale of the City HaIl Building. He requested the Council decide the extent of the property to be sold and, if desired, a minimum bid price. Mr. Hyatt stating that he felt the buyer should decide whether or not to demolish the annexed building, moved to advertise for the sale of the building and ' annex with the stipulation that the annex&4 building be either demolished or brought up to current building code standard. Mr. Sutton seconded the motion. Mr. Sutton encouraged the Council to sale the lot on which the City Hall Building is located plus a portion of the annex~ lot extending back 35 feet into the lot. Director of Public Safety, Bob Minnie, asked the Council to consider keeping the entire lot on which the annexe& building is located for future Central Fire Station expansion. Mr. Hyatt withdrew his motion, with consent of the seconder, and moved instead to sell only the main City Hall Building and lot. Mr. Sutton seconded the motion. Council further discussed the advisability of keeping the entire annex&Q property lot or only enough for Fire Station parking and appurtenances. Mr. Hyatt tof&),.JJS f/pp~tJrJ I;Nh919. JJ
