Sansing said Council has made other requests of staff regarding agenda items and he asked to go on record that staff comply with requests from Council. Vote on the motion: Approved 7-0. Legislative Regular Agenda Council will individually consider and possibly take action on any or all of the following items: Nelon announced that the second reading items would be brought forward at this time. W Second Readings 1. Second Reading of an ordinance revising Title 7 "Animals" of the Code of Ordinances as recommended by the Animal Services Staff and the prosecuting attorney for Municipal Court to revise the following provisions: definitions of dangerous dogs -- Ken Finn, Animal Services Manager; and David Morgan, Police Chief Finn read only the caption of the ordinance on second reading. Motion by Snell, second by Brainard to approve Ordinance 2007-86 . Sansing asked how a dog is determined to be considered dangerous and not just an "escape artist." Finn said the decision would be made by the control officer who takes the complaint and then by the municipal judge. Vote on the motion: Approved 7m0. 2. Second Reading of an Ordinance Rezoning from OF, Office District to C-1, Local Commercial District 15.09 acres known as Tract A, Block 26 of Sun City Georgetown, Phase 2, Neighborhood 1-D located at the northeast corner of Williams Drive and Del Webb Boulevard -- Bobby Ray, AICP, Director of Planning and Development Services Ray explained the item and noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission had approved with conditions, and on first reading, the Council added the site plan review, and those have been included in the second reading. He read only the caption of the ordinance on second reading. Speaker, Nancy Greathouse, said she is speaking as a resident of Sun City Neighborhood 12. She said, "for the record," all of her neighbors support the assisted living facility, but said they have other concerns. She said half of the houses will have stores behind their homes, and they were not told that one of their streets would be used to access the assisted living facility or the retail stores. She said the extension of Yellow Rose is not similar to the street in the back of the Scott and White Center as was described by the developer at the last Council Meeting. She said there are other ways to accomodate access without opening Sun City streets. She said they will continue to support the assisted living center, but asked that the rezoning of the property take place with the previously approved restrictions in place regarding the retail center. Speaker, Larry Gautier, asked that the street not be put through. He suggested that the road be put through at Del Webb Blvd. Speaker, David Shiflet, said he is not opposed to the assisted living facility, but he was not told that there would be a retail center or an extension of Yellow Rose. He said he is concerned that the developer would build the retail center first and wait a few years to build the assisted living facility. He said he would not have bought his house on Yellow Rose if he had known that Yellow Rose would eventually become a through street. He said he is very concerned about connectivity. Speaker, Mert Darling, said he is the Chairman of the Assisted Living Task Force and they will handle the concerns expressed by the previous speakers. He asked that the Council approve the Planning and Zoning recommendation, and he assured the Council that the concerns will be addressed by the Task Force. Sattler asked if there is legal issue associated with the 7th or 8th Amendment to the Del Webb Development Agreement regarding the extension of Yellow Rose. Ray said Yellow Rose would not be dedicated as a public street. Snell confirmed that these issues could be addressed when the site plan is brought forward. Motion by Snell, second by Oliver to approve Ordinance 2007-87. Approved 7-0. 3. Second Reading of Ordinances for 1) a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Future Land Use designation from Residential to Business Park for 50.62 acres in the Lewis J. Dyches Survey, Abstract Number 180 and the Francis A. Hudson Survey, Abstract Number 295 to be known as Longhorn Junction Business Park, and 2) a Rezoning from AG, Agriculture District to BP, Business Park District for 29.44 acres and to IN, Industrial District for 21.18 acres in the Lewis J. Dyches Survey, Abstract Number 180 and City Council Meeting Minutes/November 13, 2007 Page 3 of 6 Pages the Francis A. Hudson ✓ey, Abstract Number 295, located approxima. 2,000 feet southeast of the intersection of SE Inner Loop and Blue Springs Parkway -- Elizabeth Cook, Principal Planner and Bobby Ray, AICP, Director of Planning and Development Cook explained the two ordinances and recent history of previous approvals with conditions at the Planning and Zoning Commission and from the City Council. She read only the captions of the ordinances on second reading. Speaker, Johnny Stanford, requested that the Council vote against the industrial zoning which is adjacent to his neighborhood. He said they have been a deeded residential community for over 20 years. He said they don't want the noise, light, and odor. He said if Council wants to approve, move the industrial development to the front of the property. With an overhead map, he displayed the proposed site. He disagreed with the statements made at the last Council Meeting regarding Homeland Security and buffer requirements. He said he appreciates the requirement for a site plan to be approved by the Council. Motion by Snell, second by Sattler to approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Oliver said he would vote against this and asked that the "flipping of the two proposed developments" be explored. Ordinance 2007-88 Approved 64. (Oliver opposed) Motion by Snell, second by Sattler to approve the rezoning. Ordinance 2007-89 Approved 64. (Oliver opposed) R Consideration and possible action to approve amending Purchasing Policy and Procedures raising formal bid limit to $50,000 -- Marsha Iwers, Purchasing Manager Iwers said the first part of the item is a housekeeping item. She said because of House Bill 3517, there needs to be Council action to designate approval by the City Manager to use best value or request for proposal. Motion by Eason, second by Snell to approve. Approved 7-0. Iwers asked Council to approve the purchasing policy regarding State Law increasing the formal limit to $50,000. She said increasing the formal limit would allow more vendors to bid. Motion by Sansing, second by Eason to approve. Brainard asked if they would monitor the situation and come back and tell Council how it works. Vote on the motion: Approved 7-0, S Update from staff and possible direction from Council regarding negotiations on municipal utility district consent agreements for the Water Oak and Oaks at San Gabriel projects -- Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager Yantis said staff had presented to Council at the last meeting, an analysis of the changes being proposed to the two large projects for which the Council has approved development agreements just west of Georgetown. He said the primary reason for the change was because originally it was planned to use a Public Improvement District to reimburse the developer for compliance with conservation subdivision standards. He told Council he wanted to give them the status on staffs discussions with the developer so Council could give feedback as to how to proceed because the timeframe is short to complete these arrangements. Water Oak He said there will be an in -city mud for the Water Oak Project, and the total amount that was to be allowed in the Public Improvement District (PID), will be allowed for a Municipal Utility District (MUD), even though they are different projects. He said they are still looking at the proposed $0.50 maximum tax rate for the MUD and gathering more detailed information on the costs associated with that number. He said regarding maximum city representation on the MUD's, there is a concern from the City's outside legal counsel as well as from the developer about the city representation. He said staff is proposing to give the City oversight and approval of the appointments to the MUD's. Mayor said he was concerned about the possibility of a couple of councilmembers being forced to represent what they think the Council as a whole would decide. Yantis said the debt issues would come back to the Council for consideration. He said it is proposed that the MUD be broken into several smaller MUD's, and different options are being explored with legal counsel because some of the property is not yet annexed into the City. He said the developer has agreed not to seek to create any other kind of districts on this property. Yantis said, regarding oversizing the pipeline, the developer has not agreed, and is not able to take on the additional cost. Mayor asked if there had been any conversations about the dollar contributions from entities tying into the line out west of the City. Yantis said it has not come up in the negotiations thus far. Eason said she wants to hear more about the pipeline and the benefits to the developer and to the City. Snell asked for the rationale behind the structure of the fees and asking the developer to pay the total. Yantis explained that in the agreement there is the cost to install the pipeline, and then there is the incremental cost to oversize the pipeline, which was to be $2.5 million; and originally, the City agreed to cover the $2.5 million. He said, in consideration for the developer being able to get their reimbursement quicker with a MUD than with a PID, the City is asking the developer to fund the oversizing. He said the developer will be receiving impact fees for connections to the line over time, and there are other City projects that could be funded with the $2.5 million. Nelon said if this issue becomes an "impasse," and the line is critical to making sure there is regional wastewater west of this property, then that's an additional point to consider. Sattler confirmed that the City has the authority to control who uses the pipeline. It was confirmed that this will come back to the Council for approval. Sansing indicated that he is against asking the developer to pay for the oversizing. Berryman said the benefit will be to the City to be able to develop the west side of Georgetown, control the wastewater treatment plants on the west side of City Council Meeting Minutes/November 13, 2007 Page 4 of 6 Pages town, and prevent the use � Aptic. Sansing asked, and Yantis noted that tl. ounty will not have authority for the design criteria for the road, and it will now be the City's authority. He said before being instructed not to use a PID, the developer was planning to create a road district, which is no longer being done now that the instrument for funding is a MUD. He said in the beginning, the County and the City were working on the first segment of the road design and some of that design has already been established. Sansing asked if it were possible to limit the tax rate for the MUD and use some of that $0.50 for a road district. Yantis said both sides agreed that it was more efficient to establish only one financing mechanism which makes it better for the bonding. There were additional questions and comments from the Council. Yantis said it is staffs recommendation to ask that the developer ask Chisholm Trail Specal Utility District (CTSUD) to transfer the water CCN to the City. He said there is a very specific process required by CTSUD, so the City will require that a resolution to that issue be accomplished one way or the other before the Consent Agreement on that particular portion of the property is finalized. Motion by Sansing to approve the staff recommendation with the change to the item that requires the developer to pay for the oversizing of the line and that the City will pay for the oversizing. Nelon noted that there are other issues as well. Sansing withdrew the motion. Motion by Sansing, second by Berryman that the City will proceed with the Consent Agreement for the in -city MUD; establish a limit of $0.50 for the tax rate; remove the item about city representation on the MUD boards; continue to discuss the requirement to divide the MUD into smaller MUD's; disallow any other special districts to be created; not require the developer to cover the oversizing costs for SGGI; and request the developer transfer all water service on the property to the City from Chisholm Trail Special Utility District. Motion by Snell, second by Eason to amend to approve that the *City developer pay for the oversizing. Oliver suggested asking staff to figure out a way to share the cost. Snell withdrew his motion to amend. Motion by Snell, second by Oliver to amend that there be negotiation to determine the sharing of the oversizing cost between the City and the developer. Vote on the amendment: Denied: 4 to 3 (Sattler, Sansing, Berryman and Brainard opposed) There were additional questions and comments from the Council. Vote on the original motion: Approved 4-3. (Snell, Oliver and Eason opposed) (* as corrected by Snell at the November 27, 2007 Council Meeting.) Oaks at San Gabriel Yantis went through the staff recommendations from the previous council packet. Motion by Sansing, second by Berryman to follow staffs recommendations (presented to Council at the October 23, 2007 Council Meeting) except remove the maximum city representation on the MUD Board(s) and remove the transfer of water service from the other CCN holder. Approved 7-0. T Consideration and possible action to request a workshop in January or February on the subject of encouraging homeowners and businesses to install items that conserve natural resources, such as water and electricity, and on supporting a program to insulate older homes -- Farley Snell, Councilmember District 6 Snell said he thinks workshops requested by Councilmembers should come from the whole Council. He asked for Council's support. Motion by Snell, second by Sansing to approve the workshop. There were questions and comments from the Council. Sansing said he would like to see items that will assist the older houses as well as the newer conservation items. Approved 7-0. U Consideration and possible action regarding a Resolution from the Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) requesting that the City of Georgetown participate in an improvement program for the sidewalks along East 7th Street -- Rick O'Donnell, HARC Chair; Elizabeth Cook, Principal Planner; and Bobby Ray, AICP, Director of Planning and Development Rick O'Donnell, HARC Chair, explained the resolution included in the packet. He said the solution presented to the Commission was interim in design and only a short-term fix. He said HARC would like to see a more long-term improvement. He said once the sidewalk is addressed, HARC could address the improvements to the building. Snell said the budget and CIP have already been approved for this year's budget, so he would think this should be a part of the 2008/2009 budget. Brandenburg said Council could consider rearranging items that are currently included in the CIP. He said it is a project that needs to be done, but there are other projects already in line for priority. There were comments from the Council. Yantis explained that staff has spoken with the owner of the property and suggested that he partner with the City to go through the process the same way as all the other downtown projects. He said at this time, the owner is not willing to participate in the process. Motion by Sansing, second by Eason to approve the HARC resolution. Oliver confirmed that this approval does not mean that the project will be placed in front of any other project that has been approved. Friendly amendment by Eason, that staff would bring back a report on this issue in no more than two months. Sansing agreed to the friendly amendment. Approved 7-0. V Consideration and possible direction from City Council on proposed amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC) pertaining to the creation of a definition and development criteria for residential housing diversity subdivisions -- Elizabeth A. Cook, Principal Planner and Bobby Ray, AICP, Director of Planning and Development Cook recalled that Council had directed staff to go forward with proposed incentives for housing diversity. She City Council Meeting Minutes/November 13, 2007 Page 5 of 6 Pages explained a proposed defin, and development criteria as provided in the t. Icil Agenda packet. Speaker, Naomi Walker, Executive Director of the Georgetown Housing Authority, and member of the Housing Advisory Board, asked that Council not withdraw attainable affordable housing from the UDC. She asked for one of two options: (1) putting back in the affordable housing (or price consideration) incentives, or (2) holding out some incentives (fee-based) for developers who look to include affordable housing in their development. Sansing confirmed that this is all optional. He said he doesn't want to encourage social engineering through this process. Berryman took exception with reducing the size of the townhomes and street pavement widths. She said pavement widths are a safety issue. Snell confirmed that Cook had met with builders. Yantis said the latest statistics show that narrower streets are the safest because of the required reduced speed. Motion by Snell, second by Berryman to direct staff to proceed with this ordinance through the normal process but exclude the policy items on page 10. Sansing asked for feedback from more than "a couple" of builders. There were further comments from the Council. Vote on the motion: Approved 7-0. W Second Readings 1.
