Travis Baird presented on the item and reviewed the request for tree removal because of the foundation being placed too close to the tree's critical root zone.

Commissioner Stanley expressed concern over where the confusion took place as to why the foundation was placed within the root zone. Travis shared that the review of plot plan did not happen to the extent of catching that encroachment. Commissioner Stanley asked clarifying questions noting that it barely touches the root zone and what would be the impact of a disapproval?

It could slowly impact the tree or more aggressively impact the tree. Disapproval of this item would leave the lot locked until there is mitigation re: the tree.

Legislative Regular Agenda CD Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone 10.533 acres from the Agriculture (AG) zoning district to 3.327 acres of the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district and 7.206 acres of the Low -Density Multi -Family (MF-I) zoning district, for the property generally located at 1581 SH 195 (2022-1-REZ) — Ryan Clark, Planner Ryan Clark presented item. Applicant is looking to now requesting Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the 10.526 acre subject property from the Agriculture (AG) zoning district to 7.206 acres of the Low Density MultiFamily (MF-1) zoning district and 3.327 acres of the Local Commercial (C-1) zoning district. The previous hearing was a request to rezone the property from AG to MF-1 and General Commercial (C- 3). The P&Z Commission voted in favor of the requested 5.8 acres of MF-1 but was not in favor of the 4.7 acres of C-3 due to its location at a mid -block and in a mixed -density neighborhood. This current request is now for a larger amount of MF-1 at 7.206 acres and for the commercial portion to be reduced to 3.327 acres and zoned C-1. Clark noted that the request meets the recommended land use ratio for the area, bringing up the existing conditions of about 61.8% residential and 3.37% non-residential. He continues to note that the property is currently zoned AG and as is a lot of the properties on 195 still bear ag zoning. It's in the Highway Gateway Overlay District, which means they'll be required to construct a 25-foot landscape buffer along the frontage at time of site development plan. With regard to the MF1, it does have a density limit of 14 units in acre, and it does have a maximum building height of 35 feet. There will also be a 15-foot buffer yard required when adjacent to RS, which is the case here. I also mentioned the 35 feet because that's the high limit for us as well. Clark also mentioned that they will be required to have that 15-foot buffer yard in between the MF1 and the C1. Clark presented on staff finding that this request now complies with all five of the approval criteria, whereas with the previous request partially complied with the bottom four of the five approval criteria due to the C3 zoning. Clark noted that with the first approval criteria, we found that this request complied. The second approval criteria, we found that the requested zone change MF1 and C1 was consistent with the comprehensive plan. Cl is located along the highway, as recommended for the nonresidential use. The MF1 we found was consistent with mixed density neighborhood because it meets that recommended density and is compliant with the land use ratio in terms of how much more residential it adds to the area (a variety of a variety of housing types that gets you closer to what's recommended for mixed density neighborhoods). For the third approval criteria, we found that the zone change promoted the health, safety and general welfare of the city as well as safe, orderly and healthful development. Previously we had found that the C3 did not accomplish an orderly development because C3 can be automotive oriented, which aren't appropriate at a mid -block, especially this close to single family zoning. Clark also noted that since it's a low density multifamily, it will be required to have a buffer yard and a height limit of 35 feet. Allowing building form to sufficiently match the area and transition off the freeway. It also will access off of 195, so they won't necessarily be putting any traffic through that R's behind it should it ever develop. For the fourth approval criteria we found that was compatible. With C1 being situated along 195 with existing commercial, it allows this C1 to be appropriate MID -BLOCK in terms of providing convenient commercial services to residents further off from the arterial for the character of the neighborhood. For the fifth approval criteria we found the property was suitable for the use as permitted by the districts as each district has more than an acre and meets more than the necessary requirements in terms of street frontage and should be able to meet driveway spacing. Chair Perthuis open up questions to the commission. Commissioner Haynie asked if the setbacks and the buffer are 15 ft or 30 ft? Clark addressed his question, sharing that with this current proposal they will be required to have a medium level buffer yard. He noted that it could be a combination of shrubs and shade trees that have to be planted in that 15-foot setback. Commissioner Dickey addressed how they will be accessing the site? Clark clarified that they will be accessing off 195. Clark shared that regardless of the driveway spacing, they'll do a right in, right out. They have a very wide frontage where they can place their driveway. Chair Perthuis asked a clarifying question on if MF1 will take access through the Cl? Clark noted that they will access through C1 and that there is an unplatted RS parcel behind the MF1 that could be used, but that would not be likely. Commissioner Steve Allen asked if the property to the north is a C1 and if so, will the MF1 be separating two C1's? Clark clarified that yes that would be the case but would likely be the driveway for the MF1 one between setbacks. Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing and closed it with not speakers coming forth. Motion by Commissioner Dickey to approve this application for the reasons set forth. Second by Commissioner Haynie. The motion was approved 5 — 0. Commissioner Stanley expressed gratitude to the applicant for taking the commissions feedback and presenting a more suitable request for this area. CE Public Hearing and possible action on a request for a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone 0.45 acres in Block 6 of Outlot Division A, from the Office (OF) zoning district to the Residential Single -Family (RS) zorting district, for the property generally located at 1801 Candee Street (2022-2-REZ). Ryan Clark, Planner As this time, Commissioner Chris Stanley recused himself due to a conflict of interest. Clark presented staff report to commissioners. He noted that this was a return from a previously heard rezoning for 1801. Kandi Street. They are requesting to change the zoning designation of the subject property from Office (OF) to Residential Single -Family (RS) in order to subdivide and develop the property with residential uses. The subject property is part of the recently adopted TRG Neighborhood Plan High Density Mixed Housing, which designates the property as part of the Medium Density Mixed Housing Future Land Use area and is currently zoned Office (OF). Originally, they requested both the subject property as well as this parcel be rezoned from OF to RS and at the time the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended approval for it and council had denied the request. Their main concern was that at the time the future land use recommendation was a community center, and with TRG being adopted it changed the recommended land use area from community center to medium density mixed housing. Clark speaks to the subject property's surroundings, sharing that there is a single family residential to the northwest, a city owned, dedicated parkland, and a multifamily use that is owned and operated by the Georgetown Housing Authority. The subject property is zoned Office (OF), which was a result of the conversion of the previous RM-3, Office and Services, zoning district that permitted single-family development when the Unified Development Code (UDC) was adopted in 2003. As the current OF zoning district does not permit single- family residential, the existing use is considered a legal non -conforming situation pursuant to Chapter 14 of the UDC. The Medium Density Mixed Housing Future Land Use is intended for "Missing Middle" housing that is compatible with traditional single-family dwellings and are appropriate for transitioning from nonresidential uses to primarily residential areas. "Missing Middle Housing" can be a range of housing products between low -density detached single-family and low -density attached multi -family. The recommended secondary uses for the area closer to Austin Avenue and FM 1460 are limited neighborhood serving retail, office, institutional, and civic uses. Clark noted that with the approval criteria, staff found that it complied with all five approval criteria. Staff found that it was consistent with the comprehensive plan in terms of the TRG neighborhood and was an appropriate spot for transitioning from non-residential use to primarily residential areas. Additionally, Clark noted the request promotes the health, safety and welfare of the city with a safe, orderly, healthful development, noting that it's an established residential area that only borders multi- family and residential single family and fits into the area providing additional housing opportunities once developed. Staff also found that it was compatible with the present zoning conforming uses due to there being a lot of RS single family uses in the area and the non-residential or multifamily uses near it are still compatible with the zoning district. Chair Perthuis opens up questions from the commissioners. Commissioner Dickey clarifies when the TRC come into effect. Clark noted that it was approved at the march 21, 2022 City Council meeting and that guidelines just need to be updated. Commissioner Dickey also asked if we know how many houses they're going to build? Clark clarified that there is a preliminary final plat application that shows it being subdivided into three parcels. Applicant Jen Henderson approached the podium to further clarify. She confirms their plans are to subdivide the lot into three parcels, however that can change. Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing and closed it with not speakers coming forth. Motion by Commissioner Dickey to approve this application for the reasons set forth. Second by Commissioner Haynie. The motion was approved 4 — 0. CF Public Hearing and possible action on a Subdivision Variance request from the right of way dedication requirement pursuant to Sections 12.02.020 and 12.02.030 of the Unified Development Code, for a portion of the property located on the east side of Bell Gin Road between Sam Houston Avenue and Vanner Path, bearing the legal description of 77.830 acres out of the Woodruff Stubblefield Survey, Abstract No. 556 (2022-7-WAV). Wesley Wright, Systems Engineering Director and Travis Baird, Asst. Director of Planning. At this time Commissioner Chris Stanley recused himself due to a conflict of interest. Wesley Wright presented the staff report to commissioners. Wright shared that the applicant is currently developing a residential subdivision under application 2021- 92-PP on a property known as the Lawhon Tract. As part of their application, a right of way dedication has been noted. Bell Gin's existing width is 73' with a requirement of 94' of total width per the City's existing Overall Transportation Plan (OTP) and the Unified Development Code (UDC). As the current alignment of Bell Gin was previously dedicated in whole by the neighboring developer, the Lawhon Tract has been required to dedicate the balance of 21' (or approximately 0.48 acres in total) across several lots in accordance with 12.02.020 and 12.02.030 of the Unified Development Code. The applicant has noted that the Saddlecreek PUD, which covers the neighboring development, did not require an overall with of 94' but, having been approved in 2015.prior to the City's most recent OTP in 2017, required only 74'. Therefore, the applicant is requesting to be relieved of the requirement to dedicate any right of way as require in 12.02.020, to meet the street cross section standard in 12.02.030 of the UDC. The applicant's request, if granted, would release them of any requirement to dedicate right of way along Bell Gin, leaving the roadway cross section at 74'. Wright clarifies that this request is essentially for a reduction in right of way requirement on Bell Gin Road. When the property to the west was developed, it was not required to dedicate its portion of the 94 feet for the roadway for Belgian, it was 73 feet at the time. Since then, the code has been updated and they are requesting to match those 73 feet. Overall, Staff finds that the request Partially Complies with 1 of 5 required criteria and Does Not Comply with the other 4. The unknown future design constraints/requirements of Bell Gin and its intersection with Sam Houston/SE1 present a potential risk to future city projects — roadway, intersections, sidewalks, shared use paths, and/or bike lanes — as well as potential future public and franchise utility needs. Additionally, reducing the required ROW in and around intersections is typically not advised as strategic improvements at intersections can dramatically improve the overall level of service of an otherwise undersized roadway. Given the lack of compliance, the applicant is requesting that the item be postponed 30 days to the May 171h P&Z Meeting. Commissioner Dickey requested clarification on if the property northwest of this property is only going to be dedicated 73 feet. Wright confirmed that the property that dedicated Bell Gin is on both sides, and it developed under the 73-foot requirement and anything there after will be subject to the new UDC guidelines. Wright further clarified that the requirement is a wider dedication at intersections to allow for additional turn lanes, pedestrian movements, and things similar. Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing and closed it with not speakers coming forth. Motion by Commissioner Haynie to set this item to postpone this application 30 days to the May 170, P&Z Meeting for the reasons set forth. Second by Commissioner Dickey. The motion was approved 4- 0. CG Public Hearing and possible action on a Subdivision Variance from the requirements of Section II., J of the Georgetown Utility Systems Water and Wastewater Systems Design Criteria Manual adopted pursuant to Section 13.01.020 of the Unified Development Code, for property located on the north and west side of Shell Road north of Sycamore Street, and on the south and east side of Shell Road, north of Rosedale Blvd.; and, for the property located at the terminus of Slip Drive, and at the terminus of Crown Anchor Bend, bearing the legal description of approximately 293.6 acres out of the Williams Roberts Survey, Abstract No. 524 (2022-8-WAV). Wesley Wright, Systems Engineering Director and Travis Baird, Asst. Director of Planning. Wesley Wright presented his staff report to the commissioners. He shared that the applicant is currently working through the City's process to develop a residential subdivision on both sides of Shell Road north of the Georgetown Village PID neighborhood. The property has been zoned as a PUD and allows up to 1,047 homes. Through their current preliminary plat application, 2021-28-PP, the applicant proposes to develop -800 single family home sites, as well as a multi -family home site, and commercial site across the 293 acres. The City currently requires that wastewater systems which are designed for new development be gravity operated, except in specific instances (including significant cost differentials), as outlined in Section II., J of the Georgetown Utility Systems Water and Wastewater Systems Design Criteria Manual, which is adopted as part of the City's Construction Standards and Specification Manual via UDC 13.01.020. The applicant has noted a number of specific concerns, including the prevalence of karst features in the area, which they assert make a gravity system infeasible. They are requesting that they be allowed to install two lift stations to operate the wastewater system for their proposed development. Regarding staff s findings, staff found that this request does not comply with criteria A. The granting of the variance would allow a lift station served wastewater collection system instead of the preferred gravity system. While lift stations are generally acceptable and not considered harmful to the public health, safety, and welfare, they are subject to potential multiple points of failure. And while lift stations contain many redundant features, critical failures are still possible and would result in serious health, safety and welfare concerns for Berry Creek, the nearby platted Sun City "Habitat Preserve". Regarding criteria B, staff found that this request foes not comply. To minimize the risk of potential wastewater spills due to lift station failure, the Unified Development Code Wastewater Design Criteria requires the utilization of gravity wastewater whenever possible. Additionally, the previously mentioned Sun City "Habitat Preserve" plat note specifically and explicitly states: "The purpose of the control preserve is cave habitat maintenance, protection and understanding. No development or public utilities shall be located within the limits of the habitat preserve." With criteria D, staff found that the request does not comply. Wright noted that the property is capable of subdividing with or without the requested variance. Additionally, staff found that the request did not comply regarding criteria D. Wrights noted the logistical challenges (particularly depth and easement needs) are not insignificant and may indeed be challenging. However, they are ultimately costs of compliance with the code, and financial concerns are generally not considered to be hardship. And while most private development cannot obtain offsite easements through condemnation; this property was incentivized by City Council in 2019 with a Municipal Utility District (MUD) and has such authority. Additionally, were the cost of compliance deemed to be a legitimate hardship in this case, it's arguable that hardship has already been mitigated by the City's Consent to an In -City MUD capable of receiving financial reimbursement for the costs to develop. Staff has reviewed the request in accordance with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and other applicable codes. Staff has determined that the proposed request does not meet any of the 5 required criteria as outlined in the attached Staff Report and cannot support the request. Additionally, the MUD Consent Agreement contemplates "Off -Site Wastewater Improvements" necessary to serve the property defined as "facilities necessary to connect the Land to the City's existing or proposed wastewater interceptors including the Sun City, Pecan Branch, or Berry Creek interceptor as determined by the City during final design." The applicant has provided as summary report provided by the MUD from early 2019 which indeed contemplated a wastewater service option that included the requested lift station solution. However, this was prior to the northern half of the Berry Creek Wastewater Interceptor being constructed. Only one easement is outstanding on the southern portion of the interceptor, which Council has authorized condemnation to acquire. We expect to be under construction on this approximately $30MM infrastructure in 2022. Also, during the analysis of a previous variance request on the neighboring property (Hope Ranch), staff was made aware of the plat restriction for portions of the Sun City platted property that the lift station. force main would be required to traverse in order to connect to the existing gravity interceptor to the north. Even if the variance is granted, and even if the Sun City Community Association agrees to the easement needs for the desired force main, it is highly unlikely that such approvals would supersede the platted encumbrance strictly forbidding utilities in the area. Wright also noted that, with all due respect to the Commission, the City Attorney has advised that an approved variance would not necessarily supersede the MUD Consent Agreement contractual requirements previously noted. Wright noted that there is an existing 27-inch wastewater line in Berry Creek on the north side and the request is to allow for a lift station that would pump over to that 27-inch wastewater line, while staff's position is that the property should gravity since the code requires gravity wastewater whenever possible. Wright continues to share that at the far east end where the map notes Hope Ranch, there is a bend in Berry Creek where it moves back to the north and then it horseshoes back around and comes back under Shell Road. Wright notes that the City has installed a 36 inch wastewater line in that creek and it runs all the way down currently to airport road. Design is complete on the remainder section of that wastewater line from Airport Road all the way to the Pecan Branch Wastewater Treatment Plant on PM 971 out east of 130. There is one easement remaining to move forward with that line. Council has authorized condemnation of that easement and we are moving forward to acquire the easement. Wright shares that as soon as they have a court date for the condemnation hearing, they will move forward with the bid. Material suppliers do not see a problem with delivering the pipe within 2 to 3 months. Given this information, staff's position is that we avoid the lift station, and we require the developer to gravity out to the east. It's a larger diameter wastewater line and it will allow developments up to the north to continue to develop for a longer period of time versus bring that 27 inch to capacity constraints sooner. Wright also notes that when the MUD consent agreement was done, there was discussion on how we would serve this site and the Berry Creek Interceptor previously referenced was not installed at the time. The Berry Creek Interceptor was in the master plan but was not in the ground at the time of the original request. Since there was not anything in place at the moment of the original request to address wastewater needs, the developer discussed wanting to purse a lift station. That option was not codified or documented or recorded as part of the agreement and was staffs response to how would we at that moment in time. It is our interpretation that they are contractually obligated to follow the design that staff determines at the time of final design. With the developer being at final design now, staff is requesting that they connect to the gravity interceptor versus the lift station. Additionally, as per the city attorney, should P&Z approve the variance it does not necessarily remove their contractual obligations. Staff has reviewed the request in accordance with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and other applicable codes. Staff has determined that the proposed request does not coniply with 5 of the 5 the criteria established in UDC Section 3.22.060 for a Subdivision Variance as outlined in the attached Staff Report. Chair Perthuis asked Wright to clarify if they are requesting one or two lift stations or would we be moving from two lift stations to one. Wright shared that two lift stations were originally requested by the applicant. One lift station south of Shell Road that would pump north of Shell Road and then a larger lift station at the northeast corner of the site where it connects to Hope Ranch. Wright shared that two lift stations are not necessary and can gravity our and gravity our with one lift station. Wright noted that the primary concern is the lift station at the northeast corner that would pump under Berry Creek to the 27- inch wastewater line versus a gravity line to the north. Wright continued to note that the property they would have to cross is platted as a conservation habitat on the Sun City plat and it explicitly says on the plat that no utilities are allowed. The applicant has had conversations with Sun City Community Association, and they seem ready to grant an easement for it, however, Wright noted that this is another concern to consider. Commissioner Dickey asked if the temporary lift station in Sun City that was built is termed to be abandoned when Berry Creek interceptor is complete. Wright confirmed that the Sun City lift station was built about 20 years ago. The intent has always been for that to be a long-term temporary, and once the Berry Creek interceptor is complete it will allow us to decommission that station. Commissioner Haynie asked if the MUD will fund the offsite wastewater line or is it a general MUD for water, sewer, drainage improvement reimbursement? Wright clarified that it is a general MUD. It has it has the authority to be reimbursed for water, wastewater, streets, and drainage. Walter Hauser with LG Engineering (applicants' representative) as well as Chris Blackburn with Waterloo Development addressed commissioners from the podium. Hauser shared background on the habitat preserve and the location of their tract in relation. He noted that while the habitat preserve was an issue for Hope Ranch connecting to this lift station without exiting their property and going through theirs, it is not an issue for their connection to the far side of Berry Creek. The applicant's representative also noted that they were looking at a deep gravity wastewater line to gravity from our site to the Berry Creek Interceptor. They are looking at 4700 feet long and 40-60 feet deep in some places. Given this criterion, they are requesting permission to put two lift stations on this track but can be open to one lift station. He goes on to quote the contractual agreement as stating: "Offsite wastewater improvements means it includes the wastewater system facilities necessary to connect the land to the city's existing or proposed wastewater interceptors, including Sun City, Berry Creek, or Pecan Branch Interceptor as determined by the city during final design." His interpretation is that their contractual obligation is abide to where the City wishes them to connect, not how the city wishes for them to connect. Hauser notes that they run substantial risk of running into caves. sensitive features, and solution features. Give the scale of this waterline, it's very possible for TCEQ to shut down the process due to what risks they are posing to the environment. The Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone is about 120 feet deep. The upper 60 feet is primarily soft limestone filled with solution cavities. You can see that we've got caves showing in here, that we're working around with our development that come up to the surface. He goes on to note that a lift station gives them options, alternatives, and more time to work with the city on producing a better product. The applicant also notes that they have an easement agreement with Sun City where they have agreed in exchange for dollars to grant the city of Georgetown an easement for this wastewater line when it's time. Commissioner Dickey requested clarification on the request. He asked if it is a waiver to a grant a lift station or is it a waiver to grant the applicant access to the Sun City Interceptor? Wright clarifies that the waiver is for a variance from that section of code that requires gravity and prohibits the lift station unless it's physically impossible. Commissioner Staley also sought to clarify if the lift station or this section of the of the wastewater determine the applicants build out? Or is this something that can continue to be developed, be worked through while you open the other two phases? The applicant clarifies that it would impact only a portion of their development as he pointed out in the presentation. Commissioner Scott Allen asked to clarify on the questions form the public regarding green space infringement. Wright clarified that a force main would generally require less easement than a deep gravity line. Travis Baird added that wastewater lines would be allowed within an open space and that they are not indicative of a lack of green space or mutually exclusive thereof. Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing and Donna Howard of 265 Logan Ranch Road came forward. Howard noted concerns regarding her well. Chair Perthuis clarified that this was possible action regarding the lift station and wastewater line only and that Howard would have other opportunities to address her concerns as it pertains to the platting process. Chair Perthuis closed it with not speakers coming forth. Motion by Commissioner Dickey to approve a variance to allow lift stations as requested on this property with the caveat that the city staff make the final decision on which interceptor it connects, based on the following approval criteria: That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to other property in the area or to the City in administering this Code. That the granting of the variance would not substantially conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this Code. That the conditions that create the need for the variance do not generally apply to other property in the vicinity. Where the literal enforcement of these regulations would result in an unnecessary hardship. Second by Commissioner Haynie. Approved 4-1. Chair Perthuis opened further discussion. His question is on why doesn't the line run along Shell Road versus the back portion of this property? Wright clarifies that the developer can determine the route that they choose to connect to the infrastructure as long as it physically works. With the gravity option, route is determined by the slope, the topography of the land, and grade of the existing Berry Creek interceptor in the ground. Wright notes that there are multiple routes they could take when working out the easement with the landowners. With a force main, because it's pressurized, you can take almost any route you want and could potentially go out to Shell Road, as you suggest, run down Shell Road and connect to the Berry Creek interceptor where it crosses the culvert right there. He clarifies that part of staff's concerns is the connection point. The proposed connection point that the developer has with the force main is on a 27-inch line. Our proposed connection point is on a 36-inch line. In summary staff's concern is not only gravity versus wastewater, but also the connection point due to the size of the line. With substantial development around the area the line will reach capacity very quickly and the staff are looking for solution to not clog up the line. Chair Perthuis questioned if the city is in a better position if they have a forced line to the Berry Creek interceptor versus a forced line to Sun City? Wright confirmed, yes this would be a better option. Commissioner Haynie noted that staff discussed a future wastewater treatment plant upstream. Wright confirmed, yes that is planned, however, the city is looking at two -to -three-year construction time frame to get that plant on the ground. In the end, though, yes it will present relief for the issue being discussed. CH Public Hearing and possible action on a Subdivision Variance from the non-residential driveway spacing requirements pursuant to Section 12.08.020 of the Unified Development Code, for property located on the north and west side of Shell Road north of Sycamore Street, and on the south and east side of Shell Road, north of Rosedale Blvd.; and, for the property located at the terminus of Slip Drive, and at the terminus of Crown Anchor Bend, bearing the legal description of approximately 293.6 acres out of the Williams Roberts Survey, Abstract No. 524 (2022-9-WAV). Wesley Wright, Systems Engineering Director and Travis Baird, Asst. Director of Planning. Wesley Wright presented the staff report to the commissioners. He notes the main issue revolves around the driveway/roadway spacing. The proposed local street spacing on the preliminary plat for the development does not meet the minimum 200 foot spacing at three locations, two on the north side of Shell Road and one on the south side of Shell Road. The request would be to allow these shorter than normal intersection spacing distances. Would granting the variance be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare are injurious to other property in the area and to the city administering the code. And this one kind of ties very closely to granting the subdivision variance would not substantially conflict with the comprehensive plan for the purpose of this code. As it pertains to the approval criteria, the request partially complies with criteria A. Wright shared that the requested variance is on a relatively low speed (30mph) residential street with good sight distance. Drivers in residential communities generally expect to see turning traffic from other streets and driveways. While the proposed separation of 130' falls short of the generally accepted minimum stopping sight distance and required spacing of 200', most vehicles affected at the locations in question will not be 'up to speed' as they will either be navigating a stop condition or completing a 90 degree turn. The required stopping sight distance for a vehicle travelling at 15mph is approximately 80' and a vehicle traveling at 20mph is approximately 115'. On criteria B., staff found that the request partially complies. Wright notes that, while the proposed separation of 130' falls short of the generally accepted minimum stopping sight distance and required spacing of 200', most vehicles affected by at the locations in question will not be travelling at 30mph and will either be navigating a stop condition or completing a turn. Wright notes that the request partially complies with criteria C,. stating that the developer's chosen land plan created this situation. And while the developer is certainly attempting to maximize their overall lot count on the development, they have been challenged by multiple environmental/KARST/cave features that have dramatically reduced the overall density of the subdivision. Regarding criteria D., the request does not comply. Wright notes that the property is capable of subdividing with or without the requested variance. As for criteria E., Wright presents that they do acknowledge the KARST challenges on site reducing density ultimately is a financial concern. The subdivision can be laid out in such a maruler as to easily remove this substandard spacing situation and the cost of compliance should not be considered a hardship for purposes of granting a variance from code. He notes that while staff sympathizes with the environmental challenges resulting in decreased density on the site, the requested variance is recommended for denial as staff finds that the requested variance Partially Complies with 3 and Does Not Comply with 2 of the 5 required criteria. Chair Perthuis opens it up to questions of the commissioners. Chair Perthuis asks if this is similar to an alleyway (such as the ogles in the Village Neighborhood), do alleyways have the same spacing requirements? Wright confirms spacing is very similar to an alleyway and there is no issue with alleyways. Commissioners clarified about if alleyways have been applied in the past. Staff confirmed that it has been within a PUD agreement or a PUD amendment. Wright speaks that most of the examples of alleyways were in place before the code was developed. Applicant, Walter Hausen of LJA Engineering, approached podium to address commissioners. He shared that the code states that non-residential driveways shall be separated from streets by 200 feet, however, it does not state that streets need to be separated from streets about 200 feet. Wright addressing the commissioner and shared that the stance and interpretation from staff is that the intent of the code is to provide minimum safe stopping sight distance between intersections, between conflicting vehicles, whether it's a driveway or whether it's a roadway. Chair Perthuis opened the Public Hearing and closed it with not speakers coming forth. Motion by Commissioner Stanley to set this item to approve this application for the reasons set forth based on the following approval criteria: That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to other property in the area or to the City in administering this Code. That the granting of the variance would not substantially conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and the purposes of this Code That the conditions that create the need for the variance do not generally apply to other property in the vicinity. Where the literal enforcement of these regulations would result in an unnecessary hardship. Second by Commissioner Allen the motion was approved 5-0. Cl - Postponed 30 Days — Mayl7th P&Z Public Hearing and possible action on a Subdivision Variance from the driveway spacing requirement pursuant to Section 12.08.020 of the Unified Development Code, for the property located at the Southeast corner of Shell Road and SH 195, bearing the legal description of that certain 4.658 acre tract of Land, out of the William Roberts Survey, being part of the remainder of Lots 1, 2 and 3 of River Road Subdivision and a part of a 5.00 acre tract of Land described in Document No. 2003101243 of the Official Public Records of Williamson County, Texas (2022-16-WAV). Wesley Wright, Systems Engineering Director, and Travis Baird, Asst. Planning Director Wesley Wright presented on this item. The request is to postpone this item to the May 1711, P&Z meeting. He shared that this item was initially discussed at the February 15, 2022 P&Z Meeting. No action was taken, and the applicant withdrew their request in hopes of finding a workable solution that would not require a variance from the code. Despite significant and creative effort, an acceptable solution that meets the applicants needs for permanent left turn access cannot be achieved without potentially restricting left turn access to other properties in the area. Therefore, the applicant submitted a new request for variance in line with the initial request. Staff has reviewed the request in accordance with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and other applicable codes. Based on staff findings the applicant requests to postpone this request so that they can better address the approval criteria. Wesley summarized the previous meeting minutes on this previously presented item at the February 15, 2022 P&Z Meeting. Commissioner Allen clarifies if there is a provision in the code that talks about having cross property access? Wright confirms that the property to the south were to develop, they would be required to provide a stub out. Currently QuikTrip is providing a stub out to that property and there would be cross access connectivity required per code. Wright shared proposed solution of installing what they call a pork chop where it would require a right in right out. They can also consider a raised median to physical prevent that movement. In summary, the applicant does care about the safety of the public and those accessing and do not want to build something that will put customers at greater risk. Motion by Commissioner Stanley to set this item to postpone this application 30 days to the May 171h P&Z Meeting for the reasons set forth. Second by Commissioner Dickey. The motion was approved 5- 0. CJ Discussion Items: Updates and Announcements (Travis Baird, Asst.

New code language will require permission from City Council to proceed. Options: Some existing penalty language but no fee has been assigned... looking to assign a fee. Demo through neglect... Working with the city attorney as to which is the best option. Trying to mitigate next steps. Travis will update Commissioner Heintzmann as this has been a point of feedback, she was looking for an update on. 4) Addressed the happenings of public comments submitted after posting. Updated that all public comment that is to be reviewed by P&Z must be in by Friday at the time of posting. We will add any public comment to our records and inform you of the number we received after posting but we will not be emailing or printing out copies for the dias. The reason for this is to allow for public transparency —if received after PZ agenda has been posted the public does not have an opportunity to review the comments, there is not adequate time for P&Z to review, and additionally not adequate time for the applicant to review and address comments. Case managers will notate in if public comment has come in after posting as a part of their presentation. This will be communicated to the public when they do present comment after posting 5) Addressed how we can expand our notifications out to HOA's re`. public notifications. Travis noted his meeting with CAPE and asked them if we can add an update for HOA's and their ability to be added to our public notification list when they get sent out for legislative items. CAPE will proceed pushing out communication via Twitter to get that out to the HOA's.
