164 Regular Meeting August 24, 1981 Page 2 Mayor Craddock opened the public hearing on property out of Farm Lot No. 22 of the Original Town of San Marcos located in the 400 Block of North Guadalupe Street on a zoning request that the property be rezoned from "D" (Multi-Family Dwelling District) to "C" (Commercial District). Mr. B. F.. Davidson, the developer of the property, stated the City Council adopted an ordinance on May 24, 1970 rezoning the property for commercial use, but neglected to prepare the ordinance, and the City Attorney, Barbara Edwards, advised him it would need to go be- fore the Council for consideration. Mr. John Stokes stated Mr. David- son had erected a sign wherein the future use of the property would be developed as a shopping center, creating a traffic problem on Guadalupe as well as Fredericksburg, and that the owner of the pri- vate road had not given Mr. Davidson access to the road. Mr. Davidson stated the property was not adjacent to the private road and that the sign had been t~ken down and he did not know what the future develop- ment of the property would be, but that the development would be on Guadalupe and not Fredericksburg. Mr. Stokes stated the narrowness of Fredericksburg could not withstand more traffic and that the Council needed to address a possible right-of-way easement with the developer of the property to take care of additional traffic. No one else wished to speak in favor or against the rezoning request. Mr. Cavazos then moved for the tabling of this rezoning request until Staff had time to address the traffic concerns and Mrs. Norris seconded the motion. On roll call the following vote was recorded: AYE: Brown, Cavazos, Craddock, Kreczmer, Mendez and Norris. NAY: Jame s. ABSTAIN: None. Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration on first reading an Ordin- ance abandoning part of the alley in Block 3 of the Westover Addition to Robert C. Haney, the caption which was read as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, ABANDONING, VACATING AND CLOSING A PORTION OF AN ALLEY IN BLOCK 3 OF THE WESTOVER ADDI- TION TO THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS; PROVIDING FOR THE REVERSION OF FEE IN SAID LAND AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mrs. Norris once again requested an appraisal of the alley. During a discussion Staff was instructed by the Council to get appraisals on alleys prior to the Ordinances coming before the Council. Mrs. Norris then moved to table this Ordinance until an appraisal of its value had been made and Mr. Brown seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
