Minutes
Special Meeting
Meeting was called to order by Chair, Commissioner Aadnesen, at 5:02 p.m.
1. Executive Session.
After role call, Commissioner Aadnesen told the Commissioners and public that there was a called executive
session with the City attorney. At this time, the recorder was turned off, and the Commission retired to the
Williamson Conference room.
Special meeting reconvened at 5:20 p.m
2. Concept Plan for 5332 acres, more or less, out of the F. Foy, L. Dyches, B. Eaves, W. Roberts, M. Lewis,
R. Jenkins, L. Russell, A. Short, G. Thompson, W. Wilkinson and D. Monroe Surveys, to be known as
Del Webb 7th Amended Concept plan, located between Shell Road, Williams Drive, CR 245, and
SH 195, with variances to the Subdivision Regulations.
McCollum gave the staff presentation, pointing out the changes: the removal of 197 acres of the Four-T Ranch
property and 97 acres of the Yearwood property, and showing the proposed Parmer Lane extension. Also the
applicants are proposing a hundred foot (100’) landscape buffer against Sun City Boulevard to hook up with the
proposed Parmer Lane so it would limit the number of streets connecting up with the Sun City Boulevard. The land
uses have stayed the same, as well as the number of residences, and these acres are part of Sun City
Georgetown. McCollum discussed the two variances requested by applicant.
Kirby confirmed that the concept plan was for an age-restricted community. Aadnesen confirmed that there would
be no financial impact to the City for these changes. McCollum confirmed that there were no comments from
surrounding property owners.
Todd Jansen, with Del Webb, 5353 Williams Drive, introduced himself, Gary Newman, Regional Manager, Philip
Smanton, Del Webb legal council, and Peter Verdiccio, Planner, and was present for any questions.
Jansen said the concept plans was designed for a future sell of the northern property – and if sold, the connectivity
issues are protected for the residents of Sun City. Kirby got clarification that Del Webb was not changing the
Concept Plan for Sun City, and that border is protected from penetrations into Sun City. Jansen told
Commissioners that in the 4th Phase, a new Fire Station would be built to service the northern property. Gary
Newman, confirmed, again, that the Concept Plan was age-restricted, and did not have plans for a school within
the community.
Jo Atkins, 127 Belfalls Drive, passed her time to speak.
Charles P. Graham, 134 Warbler Way, stated that himself and the group he represents (17 Version Group), feel
this concept plan meets the requirements that City Council gave to the residents and to the developer, and is in
support of the plan submitted.
Betty Jukes, 187 Dove Hollow Trail, was in agreement with Col. Graham and what he supports.
Adrienne and Don Padfield, 105 Tipps Court, passed their time to speak.
