11 Regular Meeting April 13, 1981 Page 7 that it would be replatted to save the last existing house. In opposi- tion to the rezoning, Mr. Lou Hoffman, Don Green and Terry Lighthouse spoke. Also speaking in opposition to the rezoning was Charles Evans, who was the only one who lived within the 200 feet of the rezoning. Mr. Evans read his letter of March 28 before the Council stating his opinion about rezoning. Mr. Robert McDonald, the proposed developer, then spoke in favor of the rezoning and voiced objection to the time delay in being able to develop the property. City Attorney Barbara Jean Edwards stated that P and Z has recommended that this property not be rezoned; they recommended denial. That was what Mr. Krauskopf was referring to - needing a three-fourth's majority vote at this meeting. There has now been a modification of the original R-1 request. The property is zoned P-2, which is "public or private educational institutions not elsewhere classified, including elementary, junior high and senior high schools, colleges, universities, athletic fields and stadiums associated therewith and incidental operations, including training areas, etc." Her research indicates a public or private school of whatever level would be allowed under this defini- tion. The Council then discussed how to keep the ordinance alive to give the owners of surrounding property, the developer and Planning and Zoning an opportunity to come to an agreement. Mrs. Norris moved that the Ordinance go back to P and Z and for them to come forth with a recommendation of should it be used for R-l, TH or PU and Mr. Brown seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Council instructed City Manager Gonzalez that the property owners within 200 feet needed to be advised of any action.

No one spoke in favor of or against the annexation of the property. The Mayor Pro-Tem then closed the public hearing. Mr. Tarbutton moved that the proposed annexation be placed on the April 27 Agenda for first reading and Mrs. Norris seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mr. Stokes opened a public hearing to consider the proposed annexation of 153 acres out of the J. M. Veramendi League No. 1 and 2, also known as D-prime, Cape's Camp. No one spoke in favor of the annexation and Bridgette Alexander, speaking on behalf of one of the families owning acreage in the 153 acres spoke against the annexation (Thornton family). The Mayor Pro-Tem then closed the public hearing. Mr. Cavazos moved that the staff be instructed to consider the annexa- tion and Mrs. Norris seconded this motion. On roll call, the following vote was recorded: AYE: Cavazos, James Norris. NAY: Brown, Tarbutton. ABSTAIN: Stokes. The motion failed. City Manager wanted it to appear of record that this proposed annexation would not appear on a future agenda unless directed by the Mayor or three signatures of the City Council. Mr. Stokes introduced for consideration an Ordinance on first read- ing, the caption of which was read as follows, but which was read in its entirety:
