Block 39, Lots 6 and 7 and parts of Lots 1, 4, 5 and 8, for the construction of a parking lot,
located at 601 Main Street, with Variances to the Subdivision Regulations. Cal Wilkerson
abstained from voting. Kim Mettenbrink gave the staff report and recommendation. Neill
Wilkerson, adjacent property owner, addressed the Commission. He informed the Commission
that he is going to expand his building in the future and suggested that a sidewalk be built along
Setback F (west side) instead of parking spaces to the alley, because when the remodel is
complete, the parking spaces would abut his new building. Ed Barry responded that at this time,
the City planned to re-stripe the existing parking spaces and not build anything new there. Larry
Connell, an adjacent property owner, asked about Setback A (south side) and whether or not he
and his employees could continue to park behind his property. Kim Mettenbrink responded that
access to his property would be written into an access and maintenance agreement with the
City. After the discussion, Patrick Walsh made a motion to approve a Detailed Development
Plan of City of Georgetown, Block 39, Lots 6, 7 and part of Lots 1, 4, 5 and 8, provided the
Technical Issues are addressed prior to City Council consideration and provided shared use
access agreements are in place prior to City Council Consideration. Approval of the requested
variances to Section 2.0503 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow existing encroachments of
pavement into setbacks as shown on the DDP and a new encroachment into the front yard
setback along Main Street of one parking space, and to Section 37030 E. of the Subdivision
Regulations, to allow Type D bufferyards along 6th Street, 7th Street and Main Street without
the required six foot fence, and to the Type A bufferyard overlaying setbacks at property lines E
and F, as shown in Exhibit B, after making the required findings of fact. Sarah Milburn
seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 4-0.
8. Consideration and possible action on a Concept Plan of 281.36 acres in the G.W. Bledsoe, C.
Joyner and John Sutherland Surveys, located along County Road 262, to be known as
Westlake of the Woods. David Munk gave the staff report and recommendation. Tom Watts,
agent for the applicant was present. Bo Prehar, 203 Liz Lane asked that the construction route
not be Liz Lane or Lindsey Lane, but Goldridge Drive instead. Dale Howard, 1455 CR 262
asked if this subdivision would have septic tanks. Ed Barry stated that septic tanks would be
used. Mr. Howard voiced his concern of increased traffic on CR262. Rich Jeske, 645 CR262
asked if stub roads would be built for emergency access, and if a buffering fence would be
provided. J. D. Hall, 201 Liz Lane, provided the Commission with a “Position Paper”
requesting that Lindsey Lane remain closed to through traffic and no construction traffic be
permitted on Liz Lane due to child safety concerns. Tom Watts responded to their concerns
and agreed to meet with property owners any time. He stated that the developer is required to
submit traffic routing before construction begins. J.D. Hall suggested that a bird survey be
done. Patrick Walsh stated that more access routes are better than fewer for traffic flow
purposes, and encouraged the developer to develop the streets by the best and least
congested area possible, and suggested that the homeowners create a neighborhood watch to
deal with construction traffic. After the discussion, Cal Wilkerson made a motion to approve
the Concept Plan of Westlake of the Woods, provided the Technical Issues are addressed prior
to City Council consideration. Patrick Walsh seconded the motion which passed by a vote of
5-0.

applicant will know if the funding for this project is approved by September 1999. Dan
