10.06.010. Second by Shield. Approved 7-0.
4. Public Hearing and possible action on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend the
Century Plan adopting the Updated Georgetown Municipal Airport Master Plan as a new
element of the Century Plan.
Staff report was given by Ed Polasek. Staff is supportive of this item. The City Council
requested that a summary plan be adopted relating specifically to land use and
development of the airport to be used as a functional plan element of the Century Plan.
The last Century Plan Update was adopted June, 1998 with no amendments since then.
Commissioner Milburn questioned if the summary included anything new or changed from
the 2005 Updated Georgetown Municipal Airport Master Plan. Polasek reported that the
summary did not include any new information and that nothing had been changed from the
Airport Master Plan Update, which was accepted by Council in July 2005.
Commissioner Gibbs questioned if there would be any unfunded mandates in the summary.
Polasek reported that improvements would be funded by Texas Department of
Transportation and/or lease funds, however, there are some unfunded mandates in the FAA
improvements that the City would have to fund. The City will install an AWA System, a
weather station, a new radio guide, a new PAPI System, and relocate the fencing in some
areas. These additions are unfunded, however, the City will be able to do this with the
Federal funding.
Keith Peshak of 800 Oak Crest Lane, Georgetown, Texas expressed his opposition to this
item and this project. Mr. Peshak provided Commissioners with a written copy of his
statement. Penny Burt of 3803 Roble Grande Circle, Georgetown, Texas distributed a map
to each Commissioner showing the impact on the surrounding area; requesting this item be
tabled until each Commissioner had an opportunity to study it. She also reiterated her idea
of the Planning and Zoning Commission was to create compatible land use. She provided a
history of the Georgetown Airport. Kathryn Heideman of P. O. Box 281, Georgetown, Texas
is a resident of the south side of the Georgetown Airport. She strongly objects to the
runway protection zones and clear zones that are identified on the areas around the
runway, which she offered to remediate for the existing houses. She proposed doing more
research related to the special lighting system necessary for larger jet aircraft to use in bad
weather and at night. She strongly objects to the Remediation Lighting Plan and proposed
researching the down grade of the runway design standard at the Georgetown Airport.
Larry Swofford of 804 Sabinas Court, Georgetown, Texas announced that his home was the
last home at the end of the runway. He expressed his concerns on this expansion and how it
would impact his property.

Polasek reiterated that the only thing the Commission was being asked to vote on was the
adoption of the runway protection zone map and the short term, mid-term and long-term
development plans that are dependent on other funding sources for development on the
airport. The Commission is being asked to review the Century Plan Element where we
replace the entire 1998 Georgetown Municipal Airport Master Plan with this summary and
the development plan for the development of the airport, which will be used for a rezoning
of the airport to a more appropriate zoning district with the Land Use Plan as PUD or base
land use map. Polasek further explained that the function of the Summary was to serve as
an element of the Century Plan, which is a required element per City Charter requirements.
