(CPA-2006-013)
Staff report was given by Jordan Maddox.
The subject 154.015 acres is located north of SH 29 West and north of the present Cimarron
Hills subdivision. The Future Land Use Plan identifies the entire property as Residential.
The property is currently outside of the city limits and, therefore, has no zoning
designation.
The applicant is seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the intensity level
for the entire property to Level 2 in order to accommodate additional units. The current
plan is to build 200 units on the property, more than allotted in Level 1, but considerably
lower than the number of units allowed under Level 2 designation (310-373 units). All of
the present Cimarron Hills subdivision has previously been designated Intensity Level 2 as
well.
Staff recommends approval of the Century Plan Intensity Level amendment because the
Intensity Level 2 is appropriate to this area and its infrastructure capabilities and meets the
goals and priorities of the Century Plan.
Chair Anderson asked the applicant to come forward.
Mike Coopmen with Pivotal Cimarron Hills stated residents in the proposed property will
have connectivity east and west.Mr. Coopman also stated that Chisholm Trail will provide
retail water to that site.

Hollow. There have been several emergency issues in the past which access was the main
struggle.

Hills. He also stated he owns the back road that is accessed during flooding. He stated that
during a rainstorm , residents access the road and there is quite a bit of damage done . He
said residents want to use the road, but no one wants to help pay for the road . Mr. Harrison
stated he is willing to deed the access to the county or city in order for residence to gain
access from the back of the subdivision.
Mr. Coopman stated that Lightning Ranch Road will be a public road and as long as
residents can gain connectivity to Lightning Ranch Road, they are welcome to use it.
Chair Anderson closed the Public Hearing.
Motion by Ortego to recommend to City Council approval of the requested Comprehensive
Plan Amendment to change the Intensity Level from Level 1 to Level 2 for 154.015 acres in
the A.H. Porter Survey also to be known as Cimarron Hills, located north of SH 29 and
West at Lightning Ranch Road. Second by Phillips. Approved 7-0.
At this time, the P&Z Commissioners addressed item #4.
City Attorney Trish Carls stated the applicant for item #4 is requesting postponement of
item# 4 and since this is a public hearing, applicant will need to re-notify residents. Ms.
Carls stated that Chair Anderson either can postpone the agenda or can hear public
remarks tonight. Ms. Carls informed the Commissioners that staff was unaware of the
postponement until now.
Chair Anderson stated that after he read some of the comments, he would like to postpone
the public hearing and encouraged the applicant to visit with the neighbors and then bring
the item back to another P&Z meeting.
The applicant stated he was fine with the decision and was willing to meet with the
neighbors.

as University Plaza , located on the northeast corner of Inner Loop and SH -29 East.
(CPA-2006-008)
The subject 42.326 acres is located at the northeast corner of SH 29 and Inner Loop. The
Future Land Use Plan identifies a small sliver of land at the corner of SH 29 and Inner Loop
as “Office/Retail/Commercial”, the remainder of the property is designated as
“Residential”. The property is zoned Residential and Agriculture, the reason for the split
zoning has to do with time of annexation versus any previous rezoning/land use on the
property. Approximately 8 acres is designated Intensity Level 3 and the remainder of the
property is designated Intensity Level 5.
The applicant is seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the underlying land
use designation from “Office/Residential/Commercial” and “Residential” to “Office/
Retail/Commercial” for the entire property in order to develop a shopping center at that
location.
Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak.
Pat Graham of New America stated he would be glad to answer questions.
Commissioner Philips stated he is a little concerned with the drainage and asked Mr.
Graham how to address that issue. Mr. Graham stated they plan on having a water
detention area and would force the water to run away from the neighbors on the east side.
Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing.

this development, SH 30 and the new High School coming to that area. Ed Polasek stated
that the City of Georgetown has in it’s future plans both SH 29 and Inner Loop both being
four lanes. The applicant will bring in traffic impact analyses, which will be reviewed. It
will suggest improvements to Texas Department of Transportation.

A Motion by Sheild to recommend to City Council approval of the requested
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change future land use from Residential and
Commercial to Office/Retail/Commercial for 42.326 acres in the William Addison Survey

AG, Agriculture districts to C-3, General Commercial district of 42.326 acres in the William
Addison Survey, also to be known as University Plaza, located at the northeast corner of
Inner Loop and east SH-29. (REZ-2006-018)
Staff report was given by Bobby Ray.
The subject 42.326 acres is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of SH 29 and
Inner Loop. The property carries two separate zoning districts , which represent the default
zoning in affect at the time of initial annexation. Approximately 11 acres of frontage along
SH 29 was annexed in 1986 and is zoned as RS, Residential Single-family. The balance of the
property was annexed in 1998 and is zoned AG, Agriculture. The Future Land Use Plan
identifies the frontage along the corner of SH 29 and Inner Loop as “Commercial”, the
remainder of the property is designated as “Residential”.
The applicant is seeking a rezoning from RS, Residential Single-family District and AG,
Agriculture District to C-3, General Commercial to allow for the development of a
commercial shopping center. This application excludes the 2.572 acre site along the frontage
of S.H. 29 owned by Southwestern University.

from consideration. Specifically the applicant is requesting the prohibition of the following
uses:

29 starting at the east portion of the Downtown Overlay District and ending at the
intersection of NE Inner Loop Road”.
Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public
Hearing was closed.
Commissioner Phillips wanted to voice his concern with access since SH 130 is so close and
there seems to be a lot of curb cuts. David Munk stated the City is anticipating sharing of
driveways and this will be reviewed during the site plan and platting process.
A Motion by Shield to recommend to City Council approval of the Rezoning of
approximately 42.326 acres in the William Addison Survey, Abstract 21 from RS,

8.Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning from RS, Residential Single-Family
district to C-3, General Commercial district for 2.572 acres in the William Addison Survey,
Abstract No. 21, located at the northeast corner of the intersection of SH-29 and Inner Loop.
(REZ-2006-028)
Staff report was given by Bobby Ray.
The subject 2.572 acre site is located at the northeast corner of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop. The
property is zoned RS, Residential Single-family, which represent the default zoning in
effect at the time of initial annexation in 1986. A similar application has been received by
the City for the opposite corner (northwest) of S.H. 29 and Inner Loop. That application also
proposes a C-3, General Commercial zoning designation for the entire 80-acre parcel.
The applicant is seeking a rezoning from RS, Residential Single-family District and AG,
Agriculture District to C-3, General Commercial to allow for the development of a
commercial shopping center. Specifically the applicant is requesting the prohibition of the
following uses:
Detention Center; Passenger Terminals; Bar or Lounge; Major Vehicle Service; Vehicle

Hearing was closed.
A Motion by Shield to recommend to City Council approval of the Rezoning from RS ,
Residential Single-family district to C-3, General Commercial district for 2.572 acres in the
William Addison Survey, Abstract #21, located at the northeast corner of the intersection of

11.Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning from AG, Agricultural district to C-1,
Local Commercial district for Lot 2, Dicotec Subdivision, also known as The Barn, located at
4405 Williams Drive. (REZ-2006-023)
Staff report was given by Bobby Ray.
The 1.59-acre site is located on Williams Drive near the intersection of Shell Road. The
property was annexed into the City in 2005 by Ordinance No. 2005-93. The current zoning
of AG, Agriculture was the default zoning provided at the time of annexation. The Future
Land Use Plan designates the property as “commercial” with an intensity level “5”.
The proposal is a rezoning request from AG, agriculture to C-1, Local Commercial. Per the
applicant, the purpose of the request is for the “current use and also for future use” of the
site. Staff is not aware of any future redevelopment plans for the site. Staff is supportive of
the C-1 request on the basis that it will eliminate the nonconforming status of the existing
use and it is consistent with the existing commercial zoning around the intersection of Shell
road and Williams Drive.
Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak.
Wally Wilson, 1611 Williams Dr. and is representing the applicant. Mr. Wilson stated Mr.
Johnson has been running the business for 12 plus years and is considering selling and

along the Williams Drive frontage.
Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public
Hearing was closed.

Agrculture district to C-1, Local Commercial district for Lot 2, Dicotec Subdivision, also

City Georgetown Neighborhood Forty , located west of Sun City Boulevard and north of
Neighborhood 41. (PP-2006-020)
Staff report by Melissa McCollum.
This preliminary plat is being processed concurrent with the rezoning application. The
rezoning application was reviewed under a separate heading. The 37.043-acre tract is
currently vacant and proposes 147 residential units to be developed as “zero lot line”
detached single family. This area is part of the new Sun City Texas area that is incorporated
as part of the 8th Amended Concept Plan. The minimum lot size planned for this
development is 5,040 square feet. Neighborhood Forty is surrounded by Neighborhood 41
to the south and vacant undeveloped land to the north, east and west.
Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public
Hearing was closed.
Motion by McMichael for approval of the Public Review Final Plat for 27.73 acres in the
Frederick Foy survey, abstract 229, to be known as the Planned Unit Development of Sun
City Georgetown Neighborhood Forty, located west of Sun City Boulevard and north of
Neighborhood 41. Second by Sheild. Approved 7-0.
14.Public Hearing and possible action on a Rezoning from AG, Agriculture district to PUD,
Planned Unit Development district for 145.5779 acres out of Wm. Roberts Survey, Abstract
524, and Joseph Fish Survey, Abstract 232, to be known as Planned Unit Development of
Georgetown Village, Section Nine, located south of Shell Road east of Sections 7 and 8.
(REZ-2006-027)
Staff report given by Bobby Ray.
The subject site is comprised of 145.5779 acres located south of Shell Road east of Sections 7
& 8. The site is currently vacant and undeveloped. The plat, initially submitted by the
applicant, consists of 367 detached single-family residences, one school lot, one “amenity”
lot, two lots set aside for miscellaneous utilities, and parkland. The Public Review Final Plat
was submitted to be processed concurrent with the zoning and the annexation requests.
However, the plat initially submitted with the application did not comply with the specific
development standards, most notably the prohibition against double frontage lots. The item
has been pulled from the current Commission agenda at the request of the project
applicant. Therefore, staff did not attach the plat to the PUD development plan. Once the
plat has been approved, it will be attached to the PUD documents. Staff will hold a second
reading of the zoning action to track the status of the Public Review Final Plat.
Staff is supportive of the current proposal on the basis that the single-family residential use
is consistent with the usage identified on the concept plan. However, staff is concerned that
the development represents a departure from the original intent of the concept plan, which
is the creation of a “traditional” neighborhood. This plat submittal represents a detached
single-family neighborhood, typical of the type of residential development seen throughout
the region.
The original Georgetown Village Concept Plan, approved in 1999, presented a vision of a
“traditional” neighborhood with mixed-use development. This concept was, and remains,
an innovative development that was justified as a Planned Unit Development. However,
staff feels that any further deviation from the strict implementation of the “mixed use” and
“employment” areas, as indicated and defined by the Concept Plan, warrants a
reconsideration of, and appropriate amendment to the Concept Plan. If the vision presented
in the approved concept plan is no longer feasible, or marketable, amendments needs to be
made to present a more realistic picture of future development within the Village.
Commissioner Milburn indicated she is concerned with the issue of Georgetown Village no
longer following the agreed development agreement and feels the public review final plat
needs to be reviewed carefully and should agree with the Development Plan.
Chair Anderson invited the applicant to speak.
Mark Graham with Wilson Family Communities, stated there are mix building products
and feels they are not deviating from the original plan. Mr. Graham stated they still have an
area designated for higher density and commercial. They have parks and are currently
planning another school site .
Chair Anderson asked Mr. Graham to explain the intent of the developer to add the retail
shops in the current designated area.
Mr. Graham stated there are restrictions on what you can do. Ten years ago, there was not
an HEB down the street. Mr. Graham stated there needs to be more residential areas and
homes, not just on their site, but in the area to support retail buildings in Georgetown
Village. Mr. Graham stated that the demand is for residential at this time, so they are
focusing on that area which is zoned for residential. However, they are not eliminating
commercial, retail or multi-family.
Commissioner McMichael informed Mr. Graham the feel of the neighborhood in
Georgetown Village is different and this Commission wants Mr. Graham to proceed with
that feel in further development. There are concerns when the developer starts changing
the concept plan.
Staff stated the plat is scheduled to be presented during the October P&Z meeting.
Chair Anderson opened the Public Hearing. No one came forward to speak. The Public
Hearing was closed.
Lawson stated he would like to hear from Ms. Milburn her reason for not voting for this
rezoning because he is concerned with developers changing the concept plans and blaming
it on market conditions.
Commissioner Milburn stated she feels they should move forward and approve the
rezoning. However, she encouraged Mr. Graham to make sure that when the plat is
brought forward in October that Commissioners see some of the elements that were
originally sold to the City of Georgetown, which have not been seen, in the last couple of
projects that have been brought forward.
Motion by Shield to approve the Rezoning from AG , Agricultural district to PUD, Planned
Unit Development district for 145.5779 acres out of the Wm Roberts Suvey, Abstract 524,
and Joseph Fish Survey, Abstract 232, to be known as Planned Unit Development of
Georgetown Village, Section Nine, located south of Shell Road east of Section 7 and 8.
Second by Ortego. Approved 6-1. (Anderson)

underground electric conversion on the square; $270,000 to implement the Nore Winter study; 2) Parking

about parking at the downtown; there will be consistent publication of information keeping the public
informed with what is being discussed and decided; 3) Economic Incentives - specifically for those in the

coverage, 17 acres of parkland linking up with the overall park system and providing buffering between
site and residential area. Greg Strmiska, Civil Engineer for the project, made a modification to the
Preliminary Plat by including the 1.5 acre tract on the corner of SH 29 W and IH 35, which will not be part
of the PUD, but asked for it to be part of plat. Benton said that the advantage to the City by taking this lot
in at this time would provide a cleaner process. Benton explained that this 1.5 acre lot would be part of
the plat, but would not be included in any of the other agreements - lot has separate zoning of commercial.
Charlie Crossfield was present to answer any questions.

on an addition of the corner lot acreage being included, prior to the City Council approval. Commissioner

Single-Family to OF,

University Avenue.
Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation, stating that the site is located in the Downtown Overlay district,
and would be subject to Certificate of Design compliance through the Historic and Architectural Review
Commission, and if approved for office zoning, the site would be required to comply with the site plan
requirement of the Unified Development Code. Jason Wagner, 612 Meadowbrook Drive, representing
the owner, said that he was wanting to bring in a brokerage office. Wagner said that there was enough
parking behind the residence. Ray said that there would be 5 parking spaces required, along with on-site
gateway landscaping, and bufferyard provisions - all these would have to be addressed on the site plan.
Wagner said that they were not planning any real changes to the residence, just cleaning up the lot.
Randy O’Dell, 214 W. University (1885 Victorian home), was not in favor of the zoning, as he had some
issues with parking, and being in the middle of two commercial properties – a Exxon to the left of him, and
then this site wanting to be office. O'Dell does have his home on the market.
Commissioner Aadnesen made the motion to recommend to City Council to approve a rezoning of 0.2634

5. Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing for a Detailed Development Plan for

Melissa McCollum gave the staff presentation, stating that this plan meets all the requirements, of the subdivision
regulations, including impervious coverage of 70%. McCollum said that there would be a sidewalk on Williams
Drive. The site falls within the Gateway Overlay District , and requires additional landscaping, which they are doing.
This site is not within the Williams Drive Overlay District. McCollum said that the owner is developing within the
Subdivision Regulations, but lighting, articulation, and the Gateway Overlay District for arterial streets was brought
over to comply with the UDC. McCollum said that this project did not require a TIA, as there were less than 2000
ADT. Sondgeroth verified what the Williams Drive Overlay District area was. Mike Faulk, Faulk Architects, 8905
Wauking Lane, Austin, Texas, and agent for the owner, told the Commissioners that the impervious coverage was
66.39%, and has always been under 70%. Faulk said that the reason the metal fascia was used, was that this is the
design standard that the company uses. McCollum said that TXDOT has given approval of the driveway cuts that
were asked for on this site. Discussion on the location of the site and the driveway. Commissioner Anderson made
the comment that 620 (part Austin and Cedar Park) has large yards and trees around many of the development
sites, and encourages the developer to keep the yard and trees – stay away from the “Burnet Road” type
development.

for Gabriel Heights Addition, Lot 3A, being 1.27 acres, located at 1407 Williams Drive, provided the subsequent

passed with a vote of 7-0.
6. Consideration and possible action on a Variance to the Subdivision Regulations for Woods of Berry Creek,
Phase 1, Block D,
Lot 21, located at 125 Brentwood Drive.
Melissa McCollum gave the staff presentation. McCollum said that the applicants were asking for 775 to 800 square
feet for the total pool area – a 49% impervious coverage increase. Mark and Rhonda Bobinger, applicants, were not
present at the meeting.
Commissioner McDonald made the motion to recommend to City Council to deny the Variance to Table 34020 of the
Subdivision Regulations for Woods of Berry Creek, Phase 1, Block D, Lot 21, located at 125 Brentwood Drive, to
allow an increase in impervious coverage to approximately 49%. Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion,

of the City of Georgetown, Division A, Outlot 4, From IN, Industrial, to C-3, General Commercial Zoning District,
located at 2030 South Austin Avenue. Commissioner Gibbs seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.

of Hacia Los
Lobos Boulevard.
Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation. Larry Lee, from Grand Prairie, Texas, with Fairfield Development, and agent

Commissioner Anderson made the motion to recommend to City Council to approve the rezoning of 20.3 acres
known as the Rivery , Phase 1, Block A, Lot 1, from OF and C-3, to PUD, located west of Hacia Los Lobos

Level 4, for
Glasscock Addition, Block 10, part of Lots 3 and 4, being 0.25 acres, to be known as First Presbyterian
Church, located at
712 Myrtle.
David Munk gave the staff presentation, informing the Commissioners that the basis for support was that the utility
district could support this addition with water and wastewater, and the transportation impacts from the overall church
development did not exceed the 2000 ADT - a traffic impact analysis was not triggered, due to this information.
John Jackson, from Austin, the architect representing First Presbyterian Church, stated that the use of the proposed
building would be to extend the church’s children and youth ministries. Bobby Ray said that the proposed building
had not been to HARC - the application has been submitted, and it had been scheduled.
Michael Roberts, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, who lives at 2803 Gabriel View Drive, Georgetown, was in
favor of both 10 & 11 agenda items. Roberts said that the present sanctuary was built in 1873, and the church is
taking all efforts to preserve it and stay located where they are now.
Edward Riddle, 114 Goodwater Street, Bill Stump, Jr., 2804 Gabriel View Drive, and Dr. Fred Hildeman, 1906 Vine,
spoke in favor of building the addition to the church.
Pat Kucler, owner of 316 E 7th Street., 603 Myrtle Street and 303 E 7th Street, spoke against having a two-story
building in the neighborhood. Kucler said that the church has not shown her any plans or offered any information
regarding the proposed building, that the church property on 7th street has not been taken care of, and felt like there
would be additional traffic problems.
Sharon Perkins, 302 E 7th Street, spoke against the proposed building, the tearing down of the existing little red
house located on proposed site, and need information of the difference between intensity levels. Munk explained to
Perkins the difference between the intensity levels. Sondgeroth gave an explanation of the process the City goes
through (Intensity Level, Land Use and Zoning), and the requirements that the site plan would address. Sondgeroth
said that the church would have to go through HARC, as it is in the Downtown Overlay district, and would have to
comply with the design requirements of HARC, and be given approval before the church could do the project.
Discussion with City Attorney regarding conditions put on motions about zoning and HARC approval.
Jackson, architect, said that they are planning to share all plans with the neighborhood – but first they needed the
zoning change. Jackson said there were plans for 9,000 square feet for the 1st and 2nd floor, and if financially able,
a 13,000 square foot basement.
Bill Stump, Sr., Wesleyan Retirement Home, owner of 711 Myrtle (across from site), said the property has been
owned by his family prior to WWI, and was in favor of the addition.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend to the City Council to approve the Century Plan Amendment
changing from Intensity Level 3 to intensity Level 4, for Glasscock Addition, Block 10, part of Lots 3 and 4, being
0.25 acres, to be known as First Presbyterian Church, located at 712 Myrtle. Commissioner Gambino seconded the
motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
11. Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing for a Rezoning of Part of Lots 3 & 4
of Block 10 of the Glasscock Addition, from RS, Residential Single Family to C-2,
Downtown Commercial, or more restrictive district, located at 712 Myrtle.
Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation, stating that the motivation for the change was to establish consistency with
the Downtown Commercial Land Use Designation (implemented by the C-2 district), consistency with the majority of
the block (most C-2), and, as identified by the applicant, under the limited provision of the RS district, the side
setbacks along Myrtle Street would require a setback between 25’ to 15’, which would not align architecturally with
the building to the north – under the C-2 zoning, there would be a lesser setback.
John Jackson, from Austin, and agent for the First Presbyterian Church gave his presentation. Jackson brought out
that the impervious coverage would only be 51% instead of the allowable 70% - leaving green space.
J. C. Johnson, Jr., 303 E 9th Street, is in favor of the proposed addition, but feels like the applicant could accomplish
what he wants to build by pursuing variances instead of changing the zoning. Johnson feels that by asking for
variances, each variance could be debated upon and discussed among the neighbors and that by rezoning, this step
is eliminated. Johnson feels that neighborhood participation is very important.
Dr. Michael Roberts, Edward Riddle, Bill Stump Jr., Bill Stump, Sr., Pat Kucler, and Dr. Fred Hildeman passed on
their opportunity to speak again, since they spoke on item #10.
Sharon Perkins, 302 E 7th Street, had concern about the increase of traffic and noise.
Bobby Ray explained the reasoning of the rezoning, instead of the variance requests. Ray said that the consistency
of the land use is a reason to rezone this part to C-2. Additionally, having all this area under the same development
standards would be ideal, giving the church a campus-like development. Discussion of the surrounding properties
and their uses.
Commissioner Aadnesen made the motion to recommend to the City Council to approve the rezoning of part of lots
3 & 4 of Block 10 of the Glasscock Addition, from RS to C-2, or more restrictive district, located at 712 Myrtle.
Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
Commissioner Aadnesen stated that Paul Brandenburg, Georgetown City Manager, would be coming to the next
P&Z meeting for a brief presentation regarding the downtown.

This item was pulled from the agenda, and will require re-notification.
At this time, Commissioner Aadnesen called upon Ray to inform the audience about the award that was given to the
Planning & Development Services Division – the Comprehensive Planning Award from the Central Texas American
Planning Association for the work on Williams Drive Corridor Study. The award ceremony was at the Hyatt-Regency
in Austin on Friday. Commissioner McDonald was present to represent the Commission. Staff attending were
Sondgeroth, Polasek, Ray, and Benton.
5. Consideration and possible action on a Special Use Permit to allow the installation of a portable classroom
building on the
campus of the Everette Williams Elementary School, located at 507 E. University Avenue.
Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation, informing the Commissioners that the project was under the new UDC. Jim
Gunn, Superintendent of the Schools of GISD, 4310 Casa Blanca, gave his presentation, pointing out the existing
trailer for the custodial services located in the NW corner. Gunn said that a neighbor of the site suggested that the
custodian trailer be taken out and the proposed portable building take its place. Gunn also mentioned that
landscaping would be done; that there was no extra encroachment onto Williams campus as was already there –
would not use up the school’s drill area; that the school was comfortable with the four (4) year time limit. Gunn said
that the building would be brand new, and passed around a picture of what the modular building would look like (see
attached). David Biesheuvel, Director of Construction Facilities for the GISD, 121 Fairwood Drive, gave his
presentation on the modular building. Gunn said that the reason that the portable building would not be able to be
moved to the 9th grade campus, was that the site did not have any infrastructure.
J. C. Johnson, Jr. 303 E. 9th Street, gave his presentation. Johnson was against having a portable building in a
Historical District, and was against having troubled youth on a grade school campus. Johnson wanted to be assured
of the date in which GISD would have the portable building moved, to have an annual report on the progress that
they are making to move the building, and to put a condition in the motion that the time limit of 4 years cannot be
renewed.
Commissioners Moore, Turner, and Shield made comments about the positive way GISD, City and the neighbors
approached each other with this application, the necessity of the time limit and the GISD’s limited budget. Anderson
said that he was against a metal building in a historic area.
Commissioner Moore made the motion for approval for a Special Use Permit to allow the installation of a portable
classroom building on the campus of the Everette Williams Elementary School, located at 507 E. University Avenue.
Commissioner Shield seconded the motion. Commissioner Aadnesen amended the motion with 2 conditions: 1) to
have GISD comply with the special conditions in the Special Use Permit; and 2) to have GISD give an annual
reporting to the Neighborhood Association in the Historic District. Commissioner Moore and Commissioner Shield
agreed with the amendment. Motion passed with a vote of 6-1, (Commissioner Anderson voting against.)

from RS,
Residential Single Family to C-3, General Commercial, or more restrictive district, located at 110 Lakeway
Drive.
Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation, informing the Commissioners that staff recommends the less intense C-1
district, and discussed the parking concern in regards to Dawn Drive. Tim Hunter, Corridor Engineering,
representing the applicant, assured the Commission there was enough room to have parking spaces on the
property.
Commissioner Anderson made the motion to recommend to the City Council to approve the rezoning of Reata Trails
Unit 1, Block P, Lot 1 from RS, Residential Single-Family to C-1, Local Commercial, or more restrictive district,
located at 110 Lakeway Drive. Commissioner Turner seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
7. Consideration and possible action on Public Hearing for a Rezoning of 19.34 acres in the John Berry Survey, to
be
known as Chisholm Park Section Two, from RP, Residential Planned to RS, Residential Single-Family district,
located at 300 CR 152.
Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation. Ty Cunningham, 4101 Zopilate Drive, representing the applicant, was
present to answer any question that the Commission had. Cunningham said that the size of the homes being built at
the site would vary from 1200 square feet to 2000 square feet.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend to City Council the approval of the rezoning of 19.34 acres in
the John Berry Survey, to be known as Chisholm Park, Section Two, from RP, Residential Planned, to RS,
Residential Single-Family district, located at 300 CR 152. Commissioner Shield seconded the motion, which
passed with a vote of 7-0.
8. Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing for a Rezoning of Williams Addition Block 1, Lot 6, from
RS,
Residential Single-Family to OF, Office District, located at 1621 Williams Drive.
Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation. Martin Harry, 5804 Magee Bend, Austin, Texas, gave his presentation,
telling the Commissioners that his plan to locate his attorney office at this site, and to lease the other part to other
tenants.
Georgia Howry, 2006 Park Lane, was present to let the Commission know how important that the buffer between the
proposed site and the homes already built around the site, and would want the City to enforce the buffering. Ray
said that the buffering would be taken care of in the site plan application.
Commissioner Shield made the motion to the City Council to approve the recommendation of approval of a rezoning
of Williams Addition, Block 1, Lot 6, from RS, Residential Single-Family to OF, Office District, located at 1621
Williams Drive. Commissioner Aadnesen seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
9. Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing for a Century Plan Amendment to modify the
Thoroughfare
Plan by creating a future Southwest Bypass from the Inner Loop south of the South Gabriel River to State
Highway 29.
Ed Polasek gave the staff presentation. John Aldridge, Systems Engineering Manager for the City of Georgetown,
200 Ridgecrest Road, representing GUS (Georgetown Utility Systems) and the GTEC Board, used the Southwest
Bypass Century Plan Amendment map to give his presentation. Polasek used the Future Land Use Plan to show
there would be a potential commercial node created. Aldridge informed the Commissioners that Jim Briggs,
Assistant City Manager, has gone to Washington to ask for Federal participation in the building of the Southwest
Bypass – and if we get monies from the Federal government, then possibly TxDOT might participate in the building
of the road, too, along with City. Aldridge said that there were archeological and environmental concerns, and the
City has asked HDR to go in and study the corridor and come back with the best location for this roadway via a
schematic (roadway drawing) telling us where the road should be located and the right of way we need. Polasek
said that the reason we are doing the Century Plan Amendment was 1) the City is spending money on a project that
is not in the Century Plan, and 2) to protect the Corridor. Discussion on D B Wood Road. Polasek confirmed that the
D B Wood Road route was to serve the local residents of Georgetown, and the Bypass was to serve all the drivers
going past Georgetown. Polasek said that Georgetown was trying to add arterial road network as the backbone to
the roadways in Georgetown.
Commissioner Aadnesen confirmed that this Century Plan Amendment would merely protect the corridor that is
shown on the map, so eventually the study can pick the best route, and it also alerts the public that there is the
potential of that road in the event that they have property in the vicinity and would want to develop it.
Don Bizzell, Steger & Bizzell Engineering, gave his presentation. Bizzell brought a drawing to show his plans for the
DB Wood Road extension to tie in with what the City was wanting to do. Bizzell said that he had all the construction
plans and all the permits ready to go to build D B Wood Road – the County was ready to build it until there were
right-of-way problems with the land owners (especially south of the River). Bizzell brought a drawing to show his
plans for the D B Wood Road extension to tie in with what the City was wanting to do. There would be a July 18th
meeting for all involved. Commissioner Shield thinks that there should not be duplicate work done on this road, and
that the City and County should consolidate their efforts. Aldridge said that the HDR study would cost approximately
$500,000.
Commissioner Turner made the motion to recommend to City Council to approve to modify the Thoroughfare Plan
by creating a future Southwest Bypass from the Inner Loop south of the South Gabriel River to State Highway 29.
Commissioner Gibbs seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
10. Staff comments and reports.

City Council meeting, July 16th at 6:00 p.m., San Gabriel Room at the GMC (Georgetown Municipal Complex).

family (in opposition); had dialogue with the Weir and Avant families- both have no comment yet, but were
reserving their right to speak at the City Council and to see what the Concept Plan will look like. Polasek
said that the new location was better for the property because it was on the property, allowing a curve,
which eliminates the building of a lesser road connecting to SH 29. Polasek confirmed that the road would
come from the Node that will be approved by the Commission at this meeting, and the part of SW3 will be
built through the subdivision and terminate at the River.
Paul Linehan, with Land Strategies, representing Harbor Investments, gave his presentation. Linehan
explained how the path of the proposed road was decided on - the topography challenges, and those who
participated in the road path design, and the best place to cross the San Gabriel River. (Their intent was to
be environmentally sensitive). There was discussion on the timing and location of the building of the
roads, building a collector that runs parallel to SH 29, TIA study, and tree survey.
Don Bizzell, representing the Avant family and the Wolf family gave his presentation. Bizzell said that the
Avants (north side of SH 29) would like to remain flexible on the north side of the road for any future road
across that land. Bizzell said that on the south side of SH 29 on the Wolf property, the new route would
create a odd shaped (triangular) piece of property, and would be hard to develop with setbacks, etc.
Bizzell said that the other concern was with the tie with DB Wood Road extension from SH 29 to Leander
Road - environmental problem and dealing with the existing gas line. Bizzell favors DB Wood Road being
the bypass road.
Hayden Johnson, an Austinite, representing AC Weir Ranch, said they would be withholding comment and
support until there was more detail showing the impact there would be with the extended road on the Weir
property ( located south, where the road crosses the River).
Elbert Brown, 3301 Hwy 29, representing himself, had concern about changing the Future Land Use Plan,
and asked if City staff was warranting the changes. Brown wanted to know why the roadway path was
being changed. Sondgeroth said that the Future Land Use Plan had been well thought out, but not
engineered. Sondgeroth went on to say that with the engineering and site work, and the G tech Board
input, new information was being brought forward to figure out the best location for the SW bypass.
Sondgeroth said that the information being looked at had been from Harvard Investments (Linehan’s
company), City engineers, and Georgetown Utilities Services. Commissioner Aadnesen said that because
of the new and current information being given to staff, the route in which the roadway should go has been
changed. Brown’s last comment was a request for the City to look at who this roadway is serving, and the
serving of the most people, and not just the needs of the developer.
Iva Wolf McLachlan, 520 Wolf Road, representing the Wolf family, who owns 650 acres east of the
proposed roadway, gave her presentation. McLachlan was concerned about the route causing her to
have a triangular piece of her property to deal with, and spoke her belief that DB Wood should be
constructed to be the bypass. McLachlan supports the originally proposed commercial node and the
alignment of the roadway, as the Wolf family would benefit from it being on their property.
Commissioner Moore made the motion to recommend to the City Council to approve a Century Plan
Amendment from the existing Level 1 to the proposed Level 4 for 307.848 acres of land out of the Isaac
Donagan Survey and the Joseph Thompson Survey, to be known as the McLester Tract, located at 2951
SH 29 West, 2.5 miles West of IH 35 and approval to modify the Thoroughfare Plan by shifting the
proposed SW3 Major Collector Level Road to the east property line and approval to modify the Future
Land Use Plan by shifting the Commercial Node with the SW3 Collector Level Road and reducing the size
of the Commercial Node to 50 acres total. Commissioner Turner seconded the motion, which passed
with a vote of 5-2, Anderson and Ortego voting against.
Meeting was recessed at 7:09 p.m.
Meeting was reconvened a 7:21 p.m.
7. Consideration and possible action on a public hearing for a Rezoning for 0.22 acres
out of Block 3 of the City of Georgetown, from RS, Residential Single-Family to C-2,
Downtown Commercial, located on Austin Avenue north of 2nd street.
Ray gave the staff presentation.
Commissioner Anderson made the motion to recommend to the City Council to approve the requested
rezoning of .22 acres out of Block 3 of the City of Georgetown, from RS, Residential Single Family to C-2,
Downtown Commercial, or more restrictive district, located on Austin Avenue north of 2nd Street.
Commissioner Gibbs seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
8. Consideration and possible action on public hearing Rezoning a total of 70 acres out of the Burrell
Eaves Survey,
Abstract 216 and the Frederick Foy Survey, Abstract 229, to be known as Sun City Georgetown,
Neighborhood
Twenty-Four A & B, from A, Agriculture and RP, Residential Planned to Planned Unit Development
(PUD), or more
restrictive district, located north of Sun City Boulevard and west of Texas Drive.
Ray gave the staff presentation, pointing out the letters sent to the City in opposition were on the basis of
the high density nature of the project, proposed traffic impact from the result of the project, and the impact
relating to the construction traffic. Ray said that the actual density of the proposal (3.53 units per acre)
was consistent with Neighborhood 15, south of this proposed site (3.5 units per acre). Ray said that the
standards are contained in the Development Agreement and the attached-detached residential
component is also a part of the Concept Plan.
Todd Jansen, 5353 Del Webb Drive, applicant, gave his presentation. Jansen confirmed that Del Webb
was not increasing the number of homes, just compacting them some and adding more green space and
open space. Jansen informed the Commissioners that there were two access points from this proposed
development - Texas Drive and Ranch House Road (Sun City Boulevard). Jansen said that the garden
homes will be 1100 to 1600 square feet, and the attached product will be over 1000 to 1400 square feet.
Irene Smith, 105 Brooks Circle, had concern with the number of units being increased instead of
decreased; having duplexes in Sun City and more garden homes; drainage problems; and wanted to have
all of Sun City notified of the intent for Neighborhood 24 A & B.
Jansen said that these units would be age restricted, and be sold if there is a buyer, but also have option
to rented. Garden homes and the attached project would be in the low $100,000.00, and be quality homes
- there would be one area that would be garden homes, and another area that would be the attached
units. Jansen said that the notification was done by the City to the surrounding property owners 200 feet
of the site, and all the neighborhood representatives were notified to let their area know the plans. Munk
said that Sun City has had very few drainage problems, and that this area was not in the 100 year flood
plain, and their studies were concurrent with the plats.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend to the City Council to approve the zoning
of 70 acres out of the Burrell Eaves Survey, Abstract 216 and the Fredrick Foy Survey, Abstract
229, to be known as Sun City Georgetown, Neighborhood Twenty-Four A & B, from A,
Agriculture and RP, Residential Planned to Planned Unit Development (PUD), or more
restrictive district, located north of Sun City Boulevard and west of Texas Drive. Commissioner
Moore seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
9. Consideration and possible action on a public hearing on a Preliminary Plat Review for 60.197 acres,
out of the Burrell
Eaves Survey, and the Frederick Foy Survey, to be known as Sun City Georgetown, Neighborhood
Twenty-Four A & B,
located north of Sun City Boulevard and west of Texas Drive.
McCollum gave the staff presentation.
Irene Smith, 105 Brooks, asked that her previous comments on the last agenda item apply to this item,
and she had not other additional comments.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend to the City Council to approve the Preliminary Plat
for 69.197 acres
out of the Burrell Eaves Survey, Abstract 216 and the Frederick Foy Survey, Abstract 229, to be known as
Sun City
Georgetown, Neighborhood Twenty-Four A & B, located north of Sun City Boulevard and west of Texas
Drive, provided the
technical issues are addressed. Commissioner Turner seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of
7-0.
10. Staff comments and reports. None.
11. Commissioner’s comments and reports. None.
Commissioner Anderson made the motion to adjourn. Commissioner McDonald seconded the motion,
which passed with a vote of 7-0. The meeting was adjourned at 8:42 p.m.

Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation. Clark Lyda, 800 S Austin Ave., Suite C, representing the Monument Café
Group, told the Commissioners that the rezoning was to help with the relocation of the Monument Café that is
presently on Austin Avenue to the proposed site. Lyda said that the proposed café would be full-service, no
drive-thru; the site was considerably smaller than what was composed in August; the curb cuts are not aligned with
neighborhood streets (generating fewer trips per day). Lyda said that they intended to meet the requirements for
parking under the new UDC, and have the hours of operation 7a.m. – 9:00 p.m., M-Th, and 7a.m. – 10:00 p.m., Fri &
Sat.
Lee Tanksley, 504 E. 19th Street, and Herbert Fulton, 2216 Georgian Drive, representing the Friendly W ill
Missionary Baptist Church located at 706W 14th Street, were both in favor of the proposed rezoning.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend approving the rezoning. Commissioner Aadnesen asked that
the motion be amended by adding in the motion that the facility would be full-service, not a fast food establishment.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend to City Council for the approval for a rezoning of 1.0818
acres, described as Block B of the South San Gabriel Urban Renewal Tract from MF, Multi-Family District to C-1,
Local Commercial District located on the south side of West University Avenue (SH29) between Scenic Drive and
Railroad Street, with the caveat that this site would be a full-service restaurant, no fast-food. Commissioner Turner
seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
4. Consideration and possible action on a Public Review Final Plat for 35.991acres in the John Sutherland and C.
Joyner
Surveys, to be known as The Woods of Fountainwood, Phase 4, located off of Jim Hogg Road, with variances
to the
Subdivision Regulations.
Benton gave the staff presentation, pointing out the three (3) variances that they were requesting. Benton clarified
that the Fire Marshall suggested additional fire hydrants during the Development Review Committee meeting this
month, and that this will not be a gated community. Tom Watts, Ralph Harris Surveyors, gave his presentation.
Commissioner Anderson made the motion to recommend to City Council the approval of a Public Review Finial Plat
of 33.5 acres in the John Sutherland and C. Joyner Surveys, to be known as The Woods of Fountainwood, Phase 4,
subject to meeting the conditions of approval, after make the required findings of fact attached to the application.
(see attached) Commissioner McDonald seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
5. Consideration and possible action on a Major Revision to an adopted Development Plan associated with the
Planned Unit
Development for the Everette Williams Elementary School, located at 507 E. University Avenue.
Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation. Ray made a correction to the report, saying that the portable is 24’ x
64’ (instead of 24’ x 36’). Jim Cummins, Steger & Bizzell Engineering, standing in for agent, David Biesheuvel, said
the Gap kids are meeting in the building directly to the east of where the portable building is shown on the exhibit.
Robert Fisher, principal of GAP, was present to answer questions.
J. C. Johnson, Jr., 303 E. 9th Street, believes in the GAP program, but believes that the portable would be unsightly
and would disrupt the neighborhood.
Joseph Murray, 803 S. College, said that he would be looking right at the proposed portable from his front door.
Murray complained about the noise made from marching and calisthenics, and the devaluation of the surrounding
properties, and although he believes in the GAP program, he believes that there could be a better location.
Will Moore, 507 Walnut Street, disapproves strongly of the placement of the portable where they are proposing.
Moore informed the Commissioners that Murray’s three-story Victorian home is 123 years old, and it is a historic
house in a Historic neighborhood. Moore said the GAP program is necessary, but feels the location for the program
should be isolated, not in a residential area, and not on an Elementary campus.
Cummins, Steger & Bizzell Engineering, brought to attention that there would be a 6’ privacy fence (shown on
diagram) between the Elementary School and the GAP program – separation between the two campuses. Portable
buildings are temporary and will be moved at some point. Robert Fischer, 1409 Terra Street, Round Rock, Texas,
Principal of the Georgetown Alternative Program (GAP), emphasized their need for more space. Fischer said that
the portable would hold 28 more children – (giving the program the ability to have 42 children in the program).
Cummins said that there would be additional landscaping, and that the chain-link fence with a gate would remain.
Fischer said that the 6’ privacy fence (60’ south of the location) would separate visually from the Elementary School
campus. Cummins said that the proposed site was in a flood plain and will need additional engineering studies
made, but already has adequate parking and the utilities there.
Commissioner Anderson made the motion to deny a Major Revision to an adopted Development Plan associated
with the Planned Unit Development for the Everette Williams Elementary School, located at 507 E. University
Avenue. Commissioner Turner seconded the motion, which passed with a denial with a vote of 6-1 (Commissioner
Shield voting against the motion).
6. Consideration and possible action on a Public Review Final Plat for 2.418 acres out of the Joseph Fish Survey,
to be known
as Woodlake Subdivision, Phase 5, located off of Williams Drive.
Benton gave the staff presentation. Tim Haynie, Haynie Consulting, representing applicant, Buffkin, was present to
answer questions. Munk said that the technical issue of analyzing the wastewater system with 28,000 gallons per
day flow from the tract to the west was due to the fact that the City had previously promised, previously through the
Century Plan Amendment, it could take 20,000 gallons through this project - Munk wanted to be sure the City did not
have to upsize the lines.
Commissioner Anderson made the motion to approve to the City Council the Public Review Final Plat of 2.418 acres
in the Joseph Fish Survey, to be known as Woodlake Subdivision, Phase 5, provided the Technical Issues are
addressed prior to City Council consideration. Commissioner Gibbs seconded the motion, which passed with a vote
of 7-0.
7. Consideration and possible action on a Public Review Final Plat for 13.75 acres in the William Roberts Survey,
to be known
as the Reserve at Berry Creek, Section 1B, located off Champions Drive and the extension of Shell Spur Road,
with variances
to the Subdivision Regulations.
McCollum gave the staff presentation, pointing out the two variances being requested, and that the Commissioners
need to address the Finding of Facts. Tim Long, Links Development, representing the applicant, Rusty Parker, was
present to answer any questions.
Commissioner Turner made the motion to approve the Public Review Final Plat for 13.75 acres in the William
Roberts Survey to be known at The Reserve at Berry Creek, Section 1B, located off Champions Drive and the
extension of Shell Spur Road with approval of the variances to 1) Section 33010.D and Table 33030.A to allow Block
B, Lots 2 and 8 to take access from Champions Drive, and 2) Table 33030.A to allow the centerline radii of
Champions Drive to be 518 feet and for Shinnecock Hills Drive centerline radii to be 326 feet, based off the required
findings of fact and provided the technical issues are addressed prior to City Council consideration, and are
attached. Commissioner Shield seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
Meeting was recessed at 7:30 p.m.
Meeting reconvened at 7:45 p.m. Commissioner Gambino asked to be excused from voting on the items #8 and #9.
8. Consideration and possible action on a Century Plan Amendment for 104.19 acres, more
or less, out of the Clement Stubblefield Survey, to change the Intensity Level 3 to the
proposed Level 5, and to modify the Thoroughfare Plan by shifting the proposed southern
extension of CR 265 from the east to the west in order to connect to the proposed
Southwest Inner Loop, known as Simon/ Wolf Ranch, and located at the southwest corner
of the intersection of IH-35 and SH 29.
Ed Polasek gave staff presentation, pointing out that applicant purchased right-of-way for this project between the
churches on DB Wood. Charlie Crossfield, 30310 Oaktree, representing applicant, does not have any problem with
the road or intensity level.
Bill Connor, 707 San Gabriel Overlook, said he did not have any problem with the changing of the Intensity Level and
the proposed location of CR 265.
Alicia Johnson, 2890 Cedar Hollow Road, had a concern about CR265 and how it would be changed and if the
County Road would still be used. Johnson got clarification about the proposed redirection of CR 265 from Polasek
and Sondgeroth.
Bill Chapman, 515 Riverview, declined his time to speak on this item.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend to City Council the approval of a Century Plan Amendment for
104.19 acres, more or less, out of the Clement Stubblefield Survey, located at the southeast corner of the
intersection of IH 35 and SH 29, to change from Intensity Level 3 to Intensity Level 5, or any more restrictive
classification, and to modify the Thoroughfare Plan by shifting the proposed southern extension of CR 264 from the

southwest corner of IH-35 and SH 29.15.
Bobby Ray gave the staff presentation, and then introduced City Engineer to give TIA report. David Munk,
Development Engineer, gave the staff presentation on the average daily trips on the roads and discussed the four
intersections.
Crossfield, 30310 Oaktree, representing Simon Development, asked Myles Minton, Vice-President of Simon

Brian Off would give a presentation on the tree preservation, and then Bob Dinsmore would talk about signage.
Myles Minton, Senior Vice-President of Simon Property Group, 115 W. Washington Street, Indianapolis, Indiana,

preservation of the existing trees and tree replacement, and buffer areas. (10' chainlink fence, landscape buffer of
10', windscreen collects trash). Bob Dinsmore gave his presentation about the signs (type, size and location) to be
used in and, at the site.
Barbara Pearce, 612 San Gabriel Overlook, had concerns about the parkland, the preservation of the River, lighting
from the site and landscaping (buffer), and the runoff from the project . Pearce was very concerned about the
pedestrian access to the river. Pearce suggested adding language to the development agreement to prohibit public
access to the property until it can be developed according to the City Master Parkland.
Don Nadon, 620 San Gabriel Overlook, was concerned about access to the River during the construction.
Bill Conner, 1107 San Gabriel Overlook, had concerns of light, people and vehicle pollution. Conner said that

lamps and flushed lenses). Crossfield verified that there was a problem with the kids going to the river.
Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager, said that the property would be annexed into the City, giving the police
department authority to act in this area. City has planning to put limestone boulders around the areas that are easily

lots for the project can be used also for the people using the trails. Developer will dedicate the parkland but there
will be not improvement until the trails are done.

Level 2 to the proposed Intensity Level 4, for 4.76 acres out of the Joseph Fish Survey, located off FM 2338
(Williams Drive), and Penny Lane.
Commissioner Anderson made the motion to recommend to City Council the approval of a Century Plan
Amendment, from the existing Intensity Level 2 to the proposed Intensity Level 4, for 4.76 acres out of the Joseph
Fish Survey, located off FM 2338 (Williams Drive), and Penny Lane, conditioned on wastewater hook-up and
associated fees as soon as City wastewater is available. Commissioner Shield seconded the motion, which passed
with a vote of 7-0.
7. Consideration and possible action on a Rezoning of a 4.75 acre tract in the Joseph Fish Survey, from A,
Agricultural, to RM-3, Residential office and Service use, or more restrictive District, located at the southeast corner
of the intersection of Penny Lane and Williams Drive.
Commissioner McDonald made the motion to recommend to City Council the approval of the Rezoning of a 4.76
acre tract in the Joseph Fish Survey, from A, Agricultural, to RM-3, Residential Office and Service Use, or more
restrictive district, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Penny Lane and Williams Drive (FM 2338).
Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
8. Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing for a Rezoning of Crestview Addition, Unit 1, Block 2, Lot
6, from RS, Residential Single Family to RM-3, Residential Office and Service Use, or more restrictive district,
located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Penny Lane and Williams Drive.
Bobby Ray gave staff presentation. Ray read note from the Whitfields, 1610 Oak Lane, stating they were against
zoning this site. Ken Ewan, applicant, was present for questions.
Roland Schroeder, 191 Young Ranch Road, present on his mother’s behalf (her property located behind the
subject property). His concerns were not having buffer, drainage problems, and lights shining into her home. Ray
explained that this zoning is classified as a change of use, which will need a Mini-Detailed Development Plan
(required to bring only one non-conforming standard into compliance through the process) - no impervious
coverage limitation, just the required setbacks. Munk explained that there would have to be a special requirement
that they provide a drainage study and show detention - it is not a requirement from the Mini-DDP. Sondgeroth said
that the Commissioners could put conditions to the rezoning now to establish the requirements on the Mini-DDP.
Ken Ewan, applicant, 3205 Abby Road, said that he was planning to put a privacy fence between Ms. Schroeder’s
home and his property, and have parking on the side of the lot instead of in the back. Ewan said he would like to
have a professional building of sorts at this site - but does not have a tenant at this time. Schroeder asked that
there be a requirement of a drainage study on this property because he sees a problem occurring from excess
water running onto Mrs. Schroeder’s lot.
Patricia Carls, City Attorney, gave the Commissioners her opinion that they should address their concerns with any
restrictions or conditions to their recommendation to the City Council, without worrying about the new UDC coming
into play. Further discussion on the drainage issue by Commissioners. Commissioner Aadnesen did not support
having a drainage study - Sondgeroth said requirement of a drainage study at this time would not be appropriate,
as the City does not know how Ewan is going to develop the property. Sonderoth said that the Commissioners
could address the landscaping and screening.
Commissioner Anderson made the motion to recommend to City Council for approval of the requested Rezoning of
Crestview Addition, Unit 1, Block 2, Lot 6, from RS, Residential Single-Family to RM-3, Office and Service Use, or
more restrictive district, located at 1612 Williams Drive, with the following criteria to be met: a) a privacy barrier be
erected at the rear of the lot, including a Type C Buffer Zone, and b) any additional impervious coverage due to
parking not negatively impact drainage to neighboring properties. Commissioner Shield seconded the motion.
Motion was amended to include the privacy barrier to be 6 foot. The amended motion passed with a vote of 7-0
At this time, Chair, Commissioner Aadnesen, asked for Agenda Items 9, 10 and 11 to be presented together.
McCollum gave the staff presentation on Agenda Item 10, the Concept Plan. McCollum gave staff presentation on
Agenda item 11, the Public Review Final Plat - the first Phase of the Concept Plan. McCollum gave staff
presentation on the Rezoning of this proposed site to rezoning all 23.42 acres to RS, Residential Single-Family, or
more restrictive district.
Don Bizzell, Steger & Bizzell Engineering, representing applicant, was present to answer questions. Commissioner
Aadnesen asked if Bizzell was willing to have the construction traffic directed off a major arterial, rather than
through the neighborhood. Bizzell confirmed that these lots were backed up to the garden homes in Berry Creek
(Section Four), and would be single-family, detached homes. McCollum confirmed that there were no variances
requested.
Heath Taylor, 30320 Briarcrest Drive, backs up to 4 of the lot being proposed. Taylor’s concerns were about the
growth of Berry Creek being excelled, environment issues (golden-cheeked warbler & cedar trees), traffic issues
with SH 130 coming (road noise, more green area, amount of traffic on Briarcrest, buffering), and keeping the
subdivision standards at Berry Creek.
Arnold Wieder, 30120 Briarcrest, Vice-President of the Berry Creek Neighborhood Association, gave a handout to
the Commissioners, to go along with his presentation. Wieder’s concerns were about buffering, noise from SH 195,
having a Homeowners Association in the Deed restrictions to keep up with common area maintenance, sufficient
common area at entrance for landscaping, alignment of Chi Chi Drive for safety, and placement of resident mail
station sites being traffic safe. Wieder said he has not spoken to the developer.
Vicki Sybert, 4513 18th Street, Lubbock, Texas, has concerns on access, drainage and buffering. Sybert currently
has access out of her property on a gravel road off of 195. Sybert says that she has a gentlemen’s agreement with
the current owner (since 1983) on the access she is using.
Bizzell said that this site does not have 30% cedar trees, and would not be endangering the golden-cheeked
warbler. Bizzell gave history on the property owners involved around Sybert’s access - Mr. Rogers owns the land
(12 acres) that Sybert has her access on - easement crosses the 12 acres. Eight (8) acres were bought by Bobby
Stanton to make the entrance to the proposed development. Bizzell confirmed that Stanton built Sections 2, 4 and 9
of Berry Creek, and believes that the restrictions would be the same for the proposed site as were these Sections in
Berry Creek. Bizzell said that the Post Office is the one that designates where the mail drops will be placed, and
they have not told the developer where they want them to be yet. Bizzell said that the drainage will be handled at
the development stage with the City. Bizzell said that the type of fence usually is left to the what the homeowners
would want built. Bizzell said that he felt that Sybert would have no trouble keeping her access. Bizzell said that the
standard would be Buffer Type C and be addressed at the development stage. Gateway markers would be the
same as the one in Berry Creek now. Bizzell said that enforcement of the traffic on Chi-Chi Drive would be a better
solution than any traffic slowing devices due to the emergency vehicles traveling on the road. Bizzell said that the
Homeowners Association would be up to the owners, but is not objecting to having one.
McCollum confirmed that there was no specific fence type requirement for the buffer - what is required now is a six
(6') privacy fence is required on the property line with trees spaced along the line of the fence, with a buffer zone of
ten feet (10'). McCollum deferred to Bizzell’s explanation on the position of the mail station. McCollum said she
would have the applicant show the Sybert easement and do some kind of stub-out to her property. Munk will
answer the drainage easements. Munk said that the speed on the streets should be controlled by the speed limits
and the police, and should not install stop signs as traffic calming devices. Munk said a traffic study is not triggered,
and does not recommend a stop sign at the corner of Chi-Chi and Tigerwoods Drive. Songeroth said that the
access to Sybert’s property needs to be drawn or a stub-out has to be shown off of St. Andrews, which needs to be
worked out with the owner, developer and engineer to ensure the best route for the access for Ms. Sybert., so she
would not be land locked. Further discussion regarding the Sybert access.
9. Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing to consider Rezoning for 23.42 acres within Berry Creek,
Section 5, from RS, Residential Single-Family, R-P, Residential Planned, and C-1, Local Commercial to RS,
Residential Single-Family, or more restrictive district, located on the west side of SH 195 and east of Kingsway
Road.
Commissioner Shield made the motion to recommend to City Council for approval of the requested Rezoning of
23.42 acres within Berry Creek, Section 5 from RS, Residential Single-Family, R-P, Residential Planned and C-1,
Local Commercial to RS, Residential Single-Family, or more restrictive district, located on the west side of SH 195
and east side of Kingsway Road. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Gibbs, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
10. Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing for a Concept Plan for a resubdivision of Berry Creek,
Section Five and all of Sybert Subdivision, being 73.08 acres in the William Roberts Survey, to be known as Berry
Creek Section Five, located off Hwy 195 and St. Andrews Drive.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend to City Council the approval of the Concept Plan for a
resubdivision of Berry Creek Section Five and all of Sybert Subdivision, being 73.08 acres in the William Roberts
Survey, to be known as Berry Creek Section Five, located off Hwy 195 and Chi Chi Street, provided the technical
issues are addressed prior to City Council. Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion, which passed with a
vote of 7-0.
11. Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing for a Public Review Final Plat for resubdivision of a
portion of Berry Creek, Section Five and all of Sybert Subdivision, being 43.97 acres in the William Roberts Survey,
to be known as Berry Creek, Section Five, Phase One, Subdivision, located off Hwy 195 and St. Andrews Drive.
Further discussion on buffering and Sybert access. Bizzell asked if the Commissioners would be agreeable to
making the access for Ms. Sybert a technical issue, and considering recommending approval of the PRFP.
Aadnesen confirmed that the developer would be agreeable to have a Homeowners Association that would take
care of the common areas.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend to City Council for approval of the Public Review Final Plat
for a resubdivision of a portion of Berry Creek Section five and all of Sybert Subdivision, being 43.97 acres in the
William Roberts Survey, to b3e known as Berry Creek Section Five, Phase One Subdivision, located off Hwy 195
and St. Andrews Drive, provided that the technical issues are addressed prior to City Council with the following: 1)
the successful resolution of a buffer zone between site and surrounding property, with the developer and the
property owners, 2) a Homeowners Association, and 3) resolving the technical issues of the Sybert property having
access between the City staff, the builder/owner, and Mrs. Sybert.
Commissioner Anderson amended the motion by stating that the buffer zone would have to be a minimum of 20' in
width with a ten (10') fence between site and surrounding property owners, and that stop signs would be erected at
the corners of Chi-Chi and Tiger Woods Drive. Commissioner Gibbs accepted the amendment of the 20' buffer
zone, but wants a 6' fence. Commissioner Anderson accepts. Commissioner Gibbs is not in agreement with the
stop sign placement either. Further discussion on the height of the fence being 10' or 6'.
Commissioner Gibbs made the motion to recommend to City Council for approval of the Public Review Final Plat
for a resubdivision of a portion of Berry Creek Section Five and all of Sybert Subdivision, being 43.97 acres in the
William Roberts Survey, to be known as Berry Creek Section Five, Phase One Subdivision, located off Hwy 195
and St. Andrews Drive, provided the technical issues are addressed prior to City Council, with the following : 1) the
buffer zone being 20' in width with a minimum of 6' fence between site and surrounding property owners, 2) have a
Homeowners Association, and 3) resolving the technical issues of the Sybert property having access between the
City staff, the builder, and Ms. Sybert - access either stub-out on St. Andrews or an easement through the 12 acres.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Shield, which passed with a vote of 6-1 (Gambino against).
12. Staff comments and reports.
a. Council Action update - none at this time.
b. Director's report - update on UDC meeting. Motion was made to accept the recommendation of the
Commissioners, with the exception of 9 items. Sondgeroth said that the standards on the impervious coverage was
not changed. Hazard waste and materials - motion was made that would prohibit the manufacturing of hazard
materials over the Acquifer Recharge Zone. Connectivity ratio, access points, banner standards, bed & breakfast,
review of UDC, aviation easement, wavier of impervious coverage , all passed with the Commissioners
recommendation. Parking caps - motion was that if parking were to exceed 110%, additional landscaping and tree
canopy would be required. Sondgeroth said that they were asking for the effective date of the new UDC to be March
26, 2003, so there would be time to have workshops to learn the new UDC requirements and how to use them.
Special called meeting on March 11, 2003, at the Georgetown Municipal Complex at 5:00 regarding the Sun City
Concept Plan.
Chair Aadnesen asked the Recording Secretary to email on Thursday of the coming meeting all the Commissioners
to see if about attendance. Patricia Carls said that we needed to update the Bylaws. Aadnesen wanted the
"rotation" of alternates to be put into play even before the Bylaws are looked at for amendments.
13. Commissioners comments and reports. None.
Michelle Gambino made the motion to adjourn. Shield seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned at 9:12 p.m.

Regular Agenda
At this time, Chairman Glasco asked if the staff could present agenda items number 7 & 8, and then the
Commission would vote on each one after presentation, speakers and deliberation.
Bobby Ray gave staff presentation on item number 7, the Rezoning, and Melissa McCollum gave the staff
presentation on item number 8, the Public Review Final Plat.
Lee Weber and Shawn Breedlove, owners, were present to give their presentation and answer questions.
Weber explained their desire to have as many trees as possible, reduce the impervious cover to less than
40% (streets, sidewalks, buildings), to keep property with green area, the lot sizes and the process in
picking where the parkland would be. Weber said they had met with the Berry Creek residents to answer
questions that there would be a Homeowner's Association, where and what landscaping would be done,
especially with the parkland. Commissioner Aadnesen said that with the combination of the parkland and
bigger lots, the applicants could have accommodated both of the requirements without a variance. Weber
said yes, if they had not given away the 2 1/2 acres. McCollum said that the parkland, water quality and
detention ponds are on 7.7 acres, with the flood plain is a little over 1 acre. The parkland is 4.4 acres, and
the ponds are separate, with 1.6 acres. Weber addressed surrounding property owners' concerns: 1)
changed the name of the project; 2) showed the lots backing up to CR 190 were very limited, and would
be buffered by parkland; 3) parkland was not going to be in the flood plain; 4) have requested from the
Berry Creek Country Club a social membership for each household; and 5) want to work with the City to
put parking for the parkland. Weber discussed Morrison Homes and the type of homes that would be built
on the site. Commissioner Kirby confirmed from applicants that the project would have a Homeowner's
Association and deed restrictions would go beyond what the City normally requires, with the Association
being able to act upon the restrictions. Commissioner Kirby confirmed that the green areas would be kept
up by the Association. Weber confirmed that there would be rod-iron fences around the land adjacent to
the parkland.
Gary Onyett, 123 Champions Court, had concerns that project would devalue the existing residences in
Berry Creek, and the issues dealing with the Airport and the surrounding properties - air traffic and airport
development not being resolved as of yet.
Arnold V, Weider, 30100 Briarcrest Drive, vice-president of the Berry Creek Neighborhood Association,
said that the applicants have acted upon the concerns they had at the beginning, have enhanced the park,
with the detention pond being very natural and fitting in with the existing environment; the issue of
cul-de-sacs and the lights from the cars being a distraction was taken care by the City's experts saying not
enough traffic to be a nuisance; the landscaping and fencing issues have been discussed and addressed;
this variance and setback between homes is a separation of 11', which is a reasonable request. As to the
accessibility to the parkland, it was originally to be from Airport Road (CR 190), and now there is
discussion of access from another road that would be on the western side, and allow more people to gain
access - this would lean concern to have parking be on Briarcrest, between Airport Road and the service
road, causing emergency vehicles a too narrow access through there. Weider suggested striping of the
curb on one or both sides of the street at that point. Weider is against having an 8' wall, and compared
the homes to being in the price range of the townhomes already existing. Weider asked the
Commissioners to approve the development of this project.
Doug Cota, 30302 Berry Creek Drive, a member of the Berry Creek Neighborhood Association,
discussed problems with the association not including all the neighborhood with issues, and talked about
the petitions that were signed against the variances. Cota is not against the development, but is against
the variances, and had concerns about the airport issues. Cota said that if the Commissioners give the
variances, then there needs to be a wall built. Cota passed out pictures of different walls built around
developments - Round Rock site, Cedar Park site, Georgetown site. Cota said that most of the Morrison
Homes were 3-sided brick or stone, with the back of the house being hardy board. Cota said that the
fence could be 8' - and the reason is to protect the value of the homes in Berry Creek. Commissioner
Seamans told Cota that he had no rights to have the adjacent landowners to build a wall to protect his
rights, and suggested that the neighbors concerned build a wall if they so choose. Cota said that the
parkland the applicants are dedicating will be marshy because of flooding, and with this site surrounding
the Airport, there is significant noise, if an airplane goes down, it would be a major disaster.
Weber confirmed that the homes will be 75% masonry (brick or stone) and 25% hardy board. Weber said
that when the Century Plan Amendment was done with Ed Polasek, the airport noise and the traffic
pattern were examined and the site showed to be no closer than 3000 to the outside of the noise cone,
and are outside of any and all airport traffic patterns. Parking for the park will be worked out with the City
and the Neighborhood Association, and that the parkland is not the lowest part of the land, and does not
feel that it would be marshy as the narrow creek is rocky. Weber said that on the devalue of the
properties - over the last 5 years, 136 houses were sold for under $250,000 in Berry Creek, and 71 under
$200,000. Weber discussed the type of fences for the backyards that do face CR190 and Briarcrest -
stained, sealed wood fence, and maintained by the homeowner's association, along with a natural buffer
between the street, a dedicated 25' of right-of-way to CR190. Weber suggested an additional 20' on
Briarcrest to be dedicated to parkland - another green strip, providing a buffer and provide access along
that stretch of land.
Georgia Turner, 312 Champions, had concerns about the materials used to build the homes, traffic on CR
195, the airport flight patterns, and the facilities at Berry Creek being filled up with all the new
memberships.
Ron Van Bruwsene, 30517 Berry Creek Drive, asked if a community center would be built within the
development, and has a concern about the impact on the school.
7. Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing for Rezoning from A, Agricultural to RP,
Residential Planned, or more restrictive district, for 70.32 acre, more or less, out of the William
Robert and John Berry Surveys, to be known as Villages at Berry, located on CR 190.
Commissioner Kirby made the motion to recommend to City Council to approve the rezoning of 70.32
acres out of the William Roberts and John Berry Surveys from A, Agricultural to RP, Residential Planned,
or more restrictive district, located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Airport Road and Briarcrest
Drive, with an additional 20' buffer along Briarcrest Drive. Commissioner Aadnesen amended the
motion, keeping the addition for a 20' buffer, and adding to re-enforce the fact that a Homeowner's
Association will be involved in this development that can police the maintenance of the buffer areas along
the streets, the fences, the landscaping, the parkland, and maintain it for future generations, and also that
the deed restrictions include a standard fence that is maintained by the Homeowner's Association on the
back lots that front CR 190, and asked that the developer meet with the Neighborhood Association and
the neighborhood at large to explain all the work that has been done and how it fits in with the work that
Mr. Cota has done. Commissioner Kirby verified at this time that the City would be maintain the
parkland - to which Commissioner Aadnesen withdrew that portion of the amendment.
Commissioner Seamans seconded the amended motion made by Commissioner Aadnesen. Motion
passed with a vote of 7-0.
8.Consideration and possible action on a Public Hearing for Public Review Final Plat of 70.32 acres
out of the William Robert and John Berry Surveys to be known as Village at Berry Creek, located
on CR 190 and Briarcrest Drive.
Commissioner Kirby made the motion to recommend to City Council to approve the Public Review Final
Plat of 70.32 acres out of the William Roberts and John Berry Surveys to be known as Villages of Berry
Creek, located on CR 190 and Briarcrest Drive, providing the Technical Issues are addressed before City
Council and the subsequent rezoning to RP, Residential Planned is approved. Seamans seconded the
motion, which passed with a vote of 7-0.
Meeting was recessed at 7:35 p.m.
Meeting reconvened at 7:48 p.m.
9. Consideration and possible action on a recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of
the proposed Unified Development Code.
Amelia Sondgeroth was present to give staff presentation. Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager, and
Patricia Carls, City Attorney, were present to answer any questions, along with development staff.
1.How a review of the UDC be implemented, and what procedures would be followed, and what would
be a reasonable review period. With an open process, with workshops with public input and public review
by using the website, and a review one year from the adoption date of the code.
2.Need additional information and justification for Section 11.06 ("Indemnification").
Carls explained that an applicant hires a professional engineer who is required to seal his/her designs and
plans and specifications, and the indemnity and release language was recommended because there were
some cases that came in from the metro-plex area where the Cities have been held liable, and is working
itself through the Court of Appeals - this is to protect the City from being liable for the errors of the
applicant, and will somewhat protect the City against Negligent Claims. The other way to handle this is to
make it clear that the staff's approval or release of the plans authorizing construction does not constitute a
complete review and approval of the plans.
3.The inclusion of a sunset provision for the UDC to be explained and address what regulations would
apply
should the time period elapse, and what potential effects such a provision would have upon the
City's ability to
review and issue permits.
Discussion about the sunset provision. Patricia Carls gave explanation. Commissioner Aadnesen said he
did not really understand the sunset provision, and was comfortable with the review in a year.
Commissioner Glasco gave an example of the importance of having scheduled review. Commissioner
Seamans said he felt like the revision was really a scheduled time review rather than an actually sunset
provision in the legal sense. Commissioner Glasco said that if there is constant review, then there is no
need of a sunset provision.
4.Concern with Section 11.01.1040 (A) regarding toxic / hazardous materials over the Edwards
Acquifer
Recharge Zone.
Songeroth explained that City Council voted this section in and explained that it was included through the
policy hearings, and will be deferred to a committee to streamline requirements and procedures. Yantis
said that there should probably be a study on standards and regulations of other agencies, such as TECQ,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the like. Commissioner Turner asked about the minimum
requirement needed and, in the meantime, what will the policy be until the committee has set something
up. Songeroth confirmed that we currently did not have regulations at this time, with Yantis adding that
the City would be relying on the State and the Federal government's regulations of how to handle
toxic/hazardous materials, which is currently in force.
5.Concern with Section 3.08.050 (B) regarding the sale of a preliminary plat of land.
Sondgeroth said this section is concerned with the wording of the prohibiting of the offering of a sale of
property prior to plat approval, and suggested that the offering of the sale language simply needs to be
removed. Carls said that it was made plain at the public hearing that commercial property is often offered
for sale without the final plat. Carls said that the local government code does prohibit diving a tract of land
by metes and bounds or by using a Contract for Deed or Contract for Sale - that language was copied into
the code. Carls said that if there is a true division of property, then it need a plat. The portion that
references to lease can be taken out and the offering for sale can be taken out. Commissioner Gibbs
verified that this also pertained to Section 3.08.050 (D).
6.Question of the limitation on the number of special events associated with Bed and Breakfasts in
residential
districts.
Songeroth said that the provision now allows for 12 special events, weddings, receptions, parties per year.
Staff came up with the provision to allow 6 instead of 12 - one every 2 months. Commissioners brought
up that he felt like these events should be held inside, not outside the site, also the number of people
allowed to attend. Sondgeroth said this section does require a temporary use permit, and that section
addresses all the issues the Commissioners are bring up.
7.Question on the purpose and intent of Section 14.04 (2) regarding the reconstruction of
non-conforming
structures.
Sondgeroth that the answers will be on non-conforming structures and non-conforming uses. Bobby Ray
gave the definition of a non-forming structure as a legally structured building which complied at the time it
was constructed, however due to the changes in the development standards and regulations, the building
no longer complies with the duly adopted regulations, such things as parking, height, setbacks,
landscaping screen - things of that nature - the development code allows non-conforming structures to
remain and continue operation, additionally it allows for 50% enlargement or expansion of the
non-conforming structure as long as the new construction applies to the newly adopted regulations. A
non-conforming use is use of the property that was legally entitled at the time that it began operation,
however due to changes in the zoning districts and the allowed uses within those districts, it no longer
permits the use. If the structure has damage greater than 50%, reconstruction of the building would have
to comply to the newly adopted regulations. Ray discussed this provision in reference to surrounding
cities. Ray discussed the issue with the transmission shop - 224 E. 8th Street. Ray confirmed that this
issue was concerned with the rebuilding the structure, and currently the code requires that the
reconstruction would have to comply with the provisions of the development code to be proposed.
Commissioner Aadnesen asked that if this ordinance gets adopted, and in a year from then, if Mr. Conway
(224 E. 8th Street), establishment burned down, can he rebuild it using the same foundation, and operate
the business the same way as it is operating now. Ray said he felt like Mr. Conway could still use the
existing pad, and complies with the setbacks, the coverage requirements - he would have to comply with
the other site design issues - parking, access, and some sort of buffer between the properties to the south
of the site. Yantis said that it is important to recognize the intent of non-conforming provisions in the code,
that is while recognizing that there is value in the businesses in the community, there is also over time a
desire in the community to change the look or change the types of uses that are allowed in certain parts of
the community - this allows an area to revitalize over a period of time. The time of a sale or destruction of
property is the time to implement these changes. Yantis said that the code says now that the lawful
change to tenant or ownership to a non-conforming structure shall not cause the loss of non-conforming
rights. Yantis also confirmed that there was an appeal process to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for
particular instances, so maybe that is the right way to handle these individual cases that are being
discussed at this time. Yantis said that since these provisions are going to apply across the board, there
should be great care in what changes we want to see over time in these particular areas and the small
businesses.
8. Requested information regarding the staffing and budgetary needs that would be involved in full
implementation
of the new UDC.
Sondgeroth said that there are quite a number of new provisions, and would like to ask for future positions
- such as a transportation planner, a drainage engineer, a landscape architect, and an automotive tracking
system software. Yantis confirmed that the service level to have the implementation of the UDC was fine
as it was now.. Aadnesen confirmed from Yantis that the new UDC would be implemented with zero
additional cost.
9.Requested information regarding the provisions for Property Owners Associations.
Sondgeroth referred to the handout on this question, and said that Commissioner Kirby had asked for
specific citations where it is required that there will be Homeowners Associations and the language
associated with that. A notation will be put on the mylar plat to be recorded that will say "Lot "X" will be
owned and maintained by Homeowners' Association.
Sondgeroth also brought up that the avigation easments were a concern in the subdivisions around the
Berry Creek area, and the current Subdivision Regulations requires under Section 26033.F.3 all record
final plats which lie within two (2) miles of the Georgetown Municipal Airport have a height restriction
imposed by the Georgetown-Williamson County Joint Airport Ordinance. These restrictions shall be
indicated as avigation easements in a manner acceptable to the Commission. Sondgeroth said that this
provision would be brought over to the new UDC.
Carls indicated that a letter was received from a property owner in the ETJ asking for what standards
apply and do not apply to the ETJ owners. ETJ property owner had questions on the new UDC putting
minimun lot size requirements, and establish lot widths - owner saying that the City cannot zone in the
ETJ or control density and these two provisions do that. Carls said that these would be looked at and
most likely taken out before sending to the City Council for first reading.
Commissioner Aadnesen asked about the recommended motion on the banners on the light poles -
Sondgeroth said that Steve O'Neal is trying to craft some recommendations by looking at size dimensions,
spacing, and the staff was just not ready yet on this. Commissioner Aadnesen asked also about parkland
suggestion concerned about slopeland requirement - staff came up with 50% parkland credit for anything
over a 20% slope.
Recommend to the City Council approval of the UDC and suggested that they take the following items
under their specific consideration:
1. Keep the provisions with regards to the Gateway Overlay District (Sections 4.08 and 8.06)
