september 13, 1971 page three I Ted Breihan, owner ot the property, explained the background of his acquisition of the land, and his appearances before the Planning & Zoning Commission dur1ng the past several years as he sought to develop the property. He said he had follow- ed the advice ot some former members of the Commission, and acquired additional property, to serve as a buffer zone. A full discussion was held. The Mayor closed the Public Hearing at 10:25 p.m. Mr. Flores moved that the ordinance changing the zoning on the Breihan property be tabled until the first meeting in October. Mr. DeLa Rosa seconded the motion and on roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYE: DeLa Rosa, Etheredge, Flores, King, Tauch, Yarbrough NAY: Emery The Mayor declared the motion carried. I The Mayor opened a Public Hearing on a request for change of zoning on Lot 4 & part of Lot 3, Block 1, West End Subidivison, from -R-1 (single-tamily residential) to "M" (mixed). Garland Warren, owner of the property, said he had tried to get a change of zoning before, to build a drive-in grocery. At that time, he was told it might interfere with plans for a loop around the City which would connect with Bishop Street. He said he had offered to give property to widen Bishop, if it were needed. A number of people who own property within 200 feet of the Warren property~~oke against the change. It was recalled that the Council had recently asked the Planning & Zoning Commission to study the advisability of establishing a commercial area in that same neighborhood. This would avoid "spot zoning", which had been the reason for turning down the request in the past. The Mayor closed the Public Hearing at 10:45 p.m. Councilman Etheredge moved that the request for change of zoning be denied. Councilman Flores seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Mayor read an ordinance with the following caption: AN ORDINANCE CLOSING AND ABANDONING AN ALLEY BETWEEN HUTCHISON AND HOPKINS STREETS AND PARALLEL TO BOTH COMANCHE AND 'FREDERICKSBURG STREETS, SUCH ALLEY f$EING LOCATED IN BLOCK 14 OF THE ORIGINAL TOWN OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS; AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER QUIT-CtATM'DEEDS RELlNQUISTNG ALL RIGHT, TITLE AND INT- EREST OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS IN SAID ALLEY TO THE OWNERS OF REAL PROPERTY ADJACENT THERETO Mr. Fi'o'':'es"fm6v~21' ~pproval of the ~~dinanc~ on second" reading Mr. Etheredge seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
