Scott Ingalls gave the staff report and recommendation. Mike Coopman, the applicant, was present to
respond to questions from the Commission. Patrick Walsh asked about a letter written by Mr. Jenson
regarding Lightening Ranch Road and an access agreement across that road. Mr. Coopman
responded that he does have access to Lightening Ranch Road for the development for emergency
vehicle access. Mr. Walsh also asked about the wastewater plant location. Mr. Coopman responded
that the plant will be located within the subdivision instead of the originally planned location. Bob
Harrison, an adjacent property owner, addressed the Commission. He stated that he owns part of
Lightening Ranch Road and would be willing to deed his portion to the County or the develo per if they
would take over maintenance of the road. Gilbert Bowers property owner of 2837 Lost Oak Cove asked
about the stub-out on to his property from Cimarron Hills. Scott Ingalls responded that the stub out
would connect to a road on Mr. Bowers property depending on the development of his site, or those
surrounding his property. Hank Rothell, adjacent property owner, spoke in favor of the development
and voiced his support. Milton Owen, another adjacent property owner stated that he was also in favo r
of the development, but encouraged the City and County to think long term on how to invest the
considerable amount of property taxes that would be generated by this development. He suggested
road improvement and maintenance and improved utility infrastructure. Bob Harrison readdressed the
Commission regarding Lightening Ranch Road and the ownership of the easements by the properties
along it. Pat Walsh asked about access rights to Lightening Ranch Road and what obligations the
developer has. Ed Barry responded that access is for emergency response only. The adjacent
property owners will be responsible for upgrade of that road at such time that they wish to develop their
property. After the discussion, Leon Douglas made a motion to approve a Century Plan Amendment
for 813.09 acres in the A. Porter Survey, to be known as The Planned Unit Development of Cimarron

Amendment from Intensity Level Two to Intensity Level Four for The Planned Unit
Development of Sun City Georgetown, to accommodate 10 acres of commercial land at the
intersection of FM2338 and CR245, and four worship sites/single family sites on 18.20 acres,
located on Sun City Boulevard.
Clyde von Rosenberg gave the staff report and recommendation. Patrick Walsh asked about “Bases of
Support” b. and c. Clyde von Rosenberg explained the wording. Todd Jansen was present and
responded to questions. Sarah Milburn asked if Mr. Jansen had talked to the property owner along
CR245 who was present at a previous Commission meeting. He responded that he had met with him
to address his concerns. Bea Kinney, an adjacent property owner, asked about the maintenance and
possible widening of CR245; a privacy fence between her property and the 10 acre commercial site if it
is developed for storage; and the proposed use of the “little” strip of land shown on the Concept Plan,
not owned by Sun City. Todd Jansen responded that Del Webb is obligated to build half of the road
and half of the right -of-way to County Road Standards; the 10 acre commercial site is not proposed to
be used as storage, but some kind of retail use is envisioned; and the “little” strip of land will remain as
it is until the owner wishes to develop. George Moorman, Chair-person of Worship Place spoke in
favor of provision for the worship sites. After the discussion, Patrick Walsh made a motion to approve
a Sixth Revised Concept Plan for the Planned Unit Development of Sun City Georgetown; and approval

Development of Sun City Georgetown. Cal Wilkerson seconded the motion which passed by a vote of

restrictive district, located at 1112 Rock Street.
Wendy Walsh gave the staff report and recommendation. Patrick Walsh asked about a sign for the
business. Bill Harris, the applicant, addressed the Commission and res ponded to the question
regarding a sign for the business. He stated that it would be a monument sign, set out of the build ing
setback lines as well as the site triangle at the corner of Rock and University Avenue. Denise Wade of
1102 Rock Street, spoke in opposition of the rezoning because of increased traffic, the proposed
parking lot, and a business of any kind in the residential neighborhood. Mr. Harris responded that the
parking will be off-street and the 6 foot fence that exists, will be extended the full length of the property
line to shield the parking from the neighbors. Patrick Walsh stated that this kind of business is
consistent with the reality of small businesses along University Avenue as well as Williams Drive an d
Austin Avenue, consistent with the development standards as written in the proposed Urban Design
Plan, and maintains the residential feel of the neighborhood. Cal Wilkerson and Sarah Milburn agreed
with Patrick Walsh. Leon Douglas stated that this is a good transition from commercial into residential
along a State Highway. After the discussion, Cal Wilkerson made a motion to approve the requested
rezoning of a 0.251 acre portion of Lost Addition, Block 66, from RS, Residential Single Family to RP,
Residential Planned, with a site plan, as shown in Exhibit C, provided the Technical Issues are
addressed prior to City Council consideration. Charles Parker seconded the motion which passed by a
