3. Public Hearing and possible action on a Second Amendment of the Development Agreement
for Cimarron Hills, located on State Highway 29 West. DA-2011-002 (Carla Benton)
Staff report by Carla Benton. The application is for Cimarron Hills Golf Course Community to
the west of Georgetown on State Highway 29 West. The Concept Plan with the existing
Development Agreement has expired and the applicant is proposing a Revised Concept Plan
that will bring their development into more current standards, including the Heritage Tree
protection provisions. This application encompasses only a small section of the property located
Planning & Zoning Commission Agenda /September 6, 2011 Page 2 of 3
in the Southeast corner of the development. The amendment allows for the development of
urban sized lots, the more current standards of the Unified Development Code and Heritage
Tree protection.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed application. Legal has reviewed and approved the
proposed changes to the agreement. Applicant was present and available to answer questions.
Brashear asked if this area is dependent on Chisholm Trail Water. He then asked, given the
current struggles CTSUD customers were experiencing, what is the city’s responsibility in
approving applications inside the CTSUD service area? David Munk, Development Engineer
responded that fire flow is not required for this development as it is located outside of our fire
service district. Brashear questioned the conversion of the project from a large-lot subdivision to
a more urban-lot subdivision with smaller lots and the impact on projected future utility
demand. Staff advised that the original development of 606 large-lot living units is being
modified to 606 urban sized lots and that the total number of lots will not be increasing as a
result of this change to the development agreement. Brashear questions the agreement
regarding the provision of requirements of the developer to supply the Phase II portion of the
sewer treatment plant and the lack of language in the agreement requiring the developer to
supply a maintenance bond for the benefit of the City as a condition of transferring the plant to
the City.
Chair Brashear invited the applicant to speak.
Applicant Hank Smith advised that this agreement would not change any current requirements
for wastewater. A future utility agreement will be drafted addressing any additional
expectations for future wastewater treatment capacity. The existing plant and existing
maintenance agreements are currently in place. Mr. David Grey, representing the adjoining
property developing as Oaks of San Gabriel, advised that they would be paying for their portion
of the additional usage from the proposed additional Wastewater Plant.
Chair Brashear opened the Public Hearing, no one came forward, and the Public Hearing was
closed.
Motion by Facey to recommend to the City Council approval of the Second Amendment to the
Development Agreement for Cimarron Hills. Second by Montgomery. Approved (7-0)
4. Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning of 44.51 acres from the Agriculture (AG)
District to a Planned Unit Development (PUD), to be known as Sun City Neighborhood 50. REZ-
2011-014 (Jordan Maddox)
Staff report by Jordan Maddox. The new proposed neighborhood is located in Sun City and
proposes 185 lots. Portion of the plat will be presented during the October 4th Planning and
Zoning meeting. Staff stated drainage issues have been addressed and will be glad to answer
any questions.
Chair Brashear invited the applicant to speak. The applicant was not present.
