2. Public Hearing and possible action on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to modify the 2030 Plan
Overall Transportation Plan related to the removal of a future Major Collector (Snead Drive) between
Cooperative Way and South Austin Avenue. CPA-2008-002 (EP)
Staff report by Ed Polasek. On June 22, 2004, the Overall Transportation Plan (OTP) was adopted,
creating the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) Process and adopting a future road network of
existing and future streets to provide for the orderly development of region’s transportation network.
The TIP process allowed the city to annually create a funding mechanism for Georgetown
Transportation Advisory Board (GTEC) funds and to review and update the OTP road network.
During the 2005 TIP process, the GTEC Board considered funding for a new street in the Overall
Transportation Plan, the continuation of Snead Drive from Cooperative Way to South Austin Avenue.
Snead Drive was outlined in the preliminary plat for Georgetown South Industrial Park; however, it
was not in the OTP. By placing the project on the TIP, it was added as a Major Collector in to the OTP
in 2005. The GTEC Board found the project eligible for GTEC funding, but chose not to fund any
improvements at that time.
The applicant now wishes to submit a new preliminary plat for a portion of the Georgetown South
Industrial Park, and remove the extension of Snead Drive from the preliminary plat and OTP. The

determine that the adjacent roadway network should be adequate to support the removal of Snead
