Andice Road (FM 2338)/Ed Barry and Fred Morris
Voltz asked for clarification regarding status of issues of run-off and water quality.
Berry stated that the subdivision is over Edward's Aquifer, and therefore falls
under the Texas Water Commission regulations. Planning and Zoning proposed
the creation of a homeowners' association to assure legal response for
maintenance of the water quality features. But they were not able to resolve
questions regarding how to keep the association active over time, provide for
regular testing, etc. As a solution, he noted that the homeowners' association
could contract with the City to do quarterly testing and monitor. In this case, the
homeowners' association would be responsible for maintenance when/if problems
surface. Barry stressed that the City is not in business of water quality

Family Residential to RM -3, Multi -Family --First Reading /Ed Barry and Fred
Morris
Applicant Phil Walden gave a presentation to Council requesting approval of C-1
rezoning. Tracy Davis, representing the Serenada Homeowners' Association,
spoke against C-1 zoning, and asked for a maximum intensity of RM. He
submitted a petition with names of neighborhood residents requesting RS zoning.
Curl asked whether traffic patterns are an element considered when assigning
zoning classification. Berry answered affirmatively, and said that C-1 does allow
for a higher range of uses. Council confirmed that they did wish to bring this
item back for RM -3 zoning. McMaster expressed a desire to identify a
compromise mutually agreeable to the applicant and the homeowners. Shelby is
concerned about the C-1 classification because of its open, unlimited classification.

Staff detailed recommendations to construct street stub -outs, upgrade water lines
to 8 inches, and provide for stormwater management. Lynn Connor of 117 Casa
Loma spoke in favor of staff recommendations.
Max Allen maintains there is no reason to require street stub -outs. However, Ed
Barry pointed out that the purpose of the policy is to avoid the undue burden to
adjacent property owners, and avoid surprises when platted roads are built after
houses are in place. Briggs confirmed that unused roads would not deteriorate
