Regular Agenda

All citizens who had registered to speak preferred to wait until discussion at Item T.
S Mayor, Council, City Manager and staff comments and reports
Hart reminded Council of the Joint Meeting with the Planning and Zoning
Commission to be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 31, in the Council
Chambers.
T Approval of a concept plan of River Hills, Section One, Block A, Lots 16 and 17, and
Section Two, located on IH35 frontage road/Ed Barry and Hildy Kingma
Kingma pointed out to Council that a revised concept plan had been provided on the
dias. The major difference was the removal of the proposed multi -family housing.
She noted that Council could approve this item tonight, but it would need to be
returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission for final approval.
The following citizens were recognized by Mayor Wood and expressed their
opposition to the concept plan:
Maura Crichton, 201 River Hills Drive
John Czap, 2406 County Road 110
Brandon Moore, 111 N. Oak Hollow

Edward Rodriguez, 105 River Hills Drive
Eileen DeLuca, 208 River Hills Drive
Richard Winter, 203 N. Oak Hollow
Jim Redwine, 108 Hillview
John Warden of Situs Planning and Design spoke to Council, representing the
developer. He told Council that he and the developer had met with the River Hills
neighborhood, including three members of the homeowners association, and that they
had agreed to the revised concept plan. The density that is being requested is Level
3, actually less than the Level 3.7 allowed by the Century Plan. The multi -family
designation is no longer being requested.
Wood explained that the sewer is being stubbed in under the highway, and not being
connected by the City to any individual property. He cited one reason for installing
the sewer line as being the protection of the Aquifer.
McMaster asked if the recent traffic study included the River Hills area. City
Attorney Banks concluded that it is included. McMaster asked to see a copy of the
study.
McMaster stated that he felt that extending the sewer under the highway is absolutely
necessary, and that the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission is looking
closely at the use of septic systems in Georgetown. He feels that it is wise to spend
the money at this time to prevent any future development with septic systems, and
that the City would be reimbursed when the sewer line is tied into a development.
Arroyos pointed out that tax dollars don't pay for sewer systems --the City of
Georgetown utilities pay for themselves.
Motion by Tonn, second by Arroyos to approve the amended Concept Plan and that
it go back to the Planning and Zoning Commission and come back to Council for
final approval and that the developer continue to work with the association and the
staff. Approved 5-2. (Bonner and Voltz opposed)
U First Reading of an ordinance amending Exhibit 1 of the Century Plan - Development Plan

W Approval of a detailed development plan of A.S.I. Gymnastics, being Horizon Commercial
Park Subdivision, Block B, Lot 4, located at 605 High Tech Drive; and ratification of the
Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation regarding variances to the Subdivision
Regulation/Ed Barry and Hildy Kingma
Kingma explained that the only real issue to be dealt with here was the number of
parking places to accommodate the addition to the building. The proposed Detailed
Development Plan (DDP) would add four additional spaces. Staff would prefer to see
a ratio of one parking space for every 200 square feet of building area. Planning and
Zoning approved a variance to allow a greater building size and 10 additional parking
spaces.
Motion by McMaster, second by Tonn to approve the DDP as approved by the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Approved 7-0.

Morgan and
Terry
Jones
(Pulled by Tonn)
Tonn asked why the City was doing this and why the City was not asking more than
$100. Chief Shanklin responded that this is a gesture of good faith, answering a
request from the Chief of the Weir Volunteer Fire Department, and that it might
reduce the necessity of our crews having to respond to their calls. McMaster said that
he had talked to other fire departments, and that this kind of thing is done quite
frequently.
