Mayor Moore called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Moore introduced the ten-minute citizen comment period. 1. Marty Sorell stated he supports the proposed development by Randall Morris. 2. Paige Bishop stated she supports the proposed development of Randall Morris because a small portion of the land will be used to build an apartment complex and the donation of greenspace. 3. Larry McSpadden, representative of Joint Venture, stated the project known as ETN Joint Venture 45, is located near Central Texas Medical Center, which is in the process of building office space. There is a problem regarding the routing of Leah Avenue because the connection that Joint Venture wants is with Mockingbird Hills. The Planning and Zoning Commission, Planning Department and the Mockingbird Neighborhood do not want this connection made. Mr. McSpadden gave the Council a handout of the different options and problems that currently exist and will be back in the future for further discussion. 4. Dr. Randy Rogers stated Sector 5 was being held up because of the connection with Leah Avenue. Dr. Rogers stated traffic will be dangerous if Leah is connected in front of the San Marcos High School, so he will prepare a new alignment and bring back his proposal. 5. Rolland Hesalroad stated there is a need for the Council to purchase a portable radar sign as soon as possible. Mr. Hesalroad stated the Council should adopt the Edwards Aquifer Regulations Ordinance and deny Randall Morris' request to develop an apartment complex. 6. John McBride stated the proposed development by Randall Morris should be denied because the traffic on Ranch Road 12 is already congested due to the growth of Wimberley. 7. Jack Fairchild stated he had no comment at this time. Mayor Moore introduced for consideration one appointment to the Human Development Commission. There were no nominations at this time and will be rescheduled for March 27, 2000. Mayor Moore introduced for consideration one appointment to the Drainage Advisory Board.
