Wendy Walsh gave the staff report and recommendation. Cynthia Smith asked for a refresher on what has been
recorded. Hildy Kingma advised that the school lot, Westbury Drive and Village Crossing Road and Section 2A
(residential) have been recorded. The Commission has approved a public review plat for Section 3, and the
construction plans for that section have been approved. The Development Agreement did not proceed but the
applicants decided to pursue a Planned Unit Development. The Century Plan Amendment was originally to be a
part of the Development Agreement and when that did not proceed, it was required to go forward now. Patrick
Walsh questioned the continuation of D.B. Wood Road to intersect at Williams Drive and how it would affect this
development and traffic. Hildy Kingma advised that the realignment will happen when the HEB Grocery Store is
developed and will provide additional access to IH35 by DB Wood Road to Hwy 29. His concern is the time
between when Georgetown Village is developed and when the road will be developed. Hildy Kingma advised
that the City has the right to build out the realignment of Shell Road at Williams Drive. Mark Pustka,
representing Shell Ranch Development, Inc., advised that he is available for questions. Carol Stiles and Ralph
Dixon Love addressed the Commission with a concern regarding the Fish Cemetery, located on this property and
the State requirements and preservation needed. Mark Pustka advised that the area around the grave site will not be
disturbed and access would be provided so that family can maintain the graves. Sean Compton, agent for the
applicant, advised that access to the cemetery would be provided from Shell Road. Also speaking was William P.
Mulock with concerns about traffic in the Williams Drive area, stating that traffic signals at Shell Road should be
required. He felt that Shell Road is inadequate for the heavy load proposed. He questioned if Fire and Police
services had been considered and asked if there would be an additional Fire Station planned for this area. Hildy
Kingma addressed the traffic light concerns. Bob Machalek addressed the Commission and expressed his concern
for the uses proposed along the southern property line and inquired about a drainage study for the area. Patrick
Walsh expressed concern for traffic on Williams Drive that will be increased by this development. Leon Douglas
expressed hope that HEB and DB Wood Road will come along at the right time to take care of the traffic increase.
After the discussion, Claude Proctor made a motion to approve the Century Plan Amendment of Georgetown
Village Planned Unit Development, from Intensity Level Two to the following Intensity Levels: Intensity Level
Three for the Single Family and Residential PUD area; Intensity Level Four for the Multifamily Residential PUD
area, the Residential, Office, and Service PUD area, and the Mixed Use Development PUD area; and Intensity

Georgetown Village Planned Unit Development, as recommended by staff. Cynthia Smith seconded the motion
which passed by a vote of 6-0.

Development, provided the Technical Issues are addressed prior to City Council consideration. Patrick Walsh
seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 6-0.

Berry Creek, Phase One, Block D, Lot 22, located at 129 Brentwood. Tom Bolt gave the staff report and
recommendation. Patrick Walsh asked about the amount of encroachment. Cal Wilkerson requested
clarification of the relation between this variance and the Zoning. Hildy Kingma clarified these issues and noted
that an application has been submitted by the adjacent property owner so a variance for back-to-back corner lots
