City Council Meeting Minutes/April 25, 2000 Page 3 of Pages 11 Pages Legislative Regular Agenda P Consideration of a Final Plat of 42.196 acres in the Frederick Foy Survey, to be known as The Planned Unit Development of Sun City Georgetown, Phase 4-A, Neighborhood 16-A, located along Dove Hollow Trail -- Wendy Walsh and Ed Barry (pulled by Hoyt to be addressed after the Rivery items are discussed) This item was handled later in the agenda.

Motion by Burson, second by Bain to approve the Short Form Record Final Plat. Approved 6-0. (Lyda abstained) U Presentation of results of the IH -35 Area Traffic Study, Williams Drive to State Highway 29, and recommended actions due to the conclusions of the Study -- Mark Miller and Jim Briggs Briggs noted that this item had been deferred from a March Council Meeting. He introduced Gary Foyt of HDR Engineering who presented the results of the traffic study, and recommended an "eastern corridor" plan for improving the traffic congestion on Williams Drive. He also recommended construction of the proposed Rivery Boulevard and a strategy to develop a crossing between Williams Drive and SH29. Kersch and Lyda discussed with Foyt that once the Rivery Development is complete, the traffic congestion will return. Burson suggested that the extension of Parmer Lane would improve traffic congestion in Georgetown. 8:50 p.m. recessed -- resumed at 9:08 p.m. Tonn asked if the frontage road could be widened. Foyt said a plan had been explored that would provide benefit to people exiting from the Rivery and would provide a free-flowing outside lane. Briggs said James Klotz of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) told him TxDOT would move forward with construction if funding could be provided through the City. Briggs responded to questions from citizens during the recess regarding development of the Rivery and clarified that upon five-year build out, and when Rivery Boulevard was completed, there would still be congestion below the "C" level in the afternoons (p.m. peak). Mayor announced that the Council Meeting would be continued tomorrow night. She noted that once an item has been presented to Council it would not be brought back to the Council for further deliberation. Lindy Cannon, 105 River Hills Drive, spoke to Council against the proposed development at the Rivery, saying the infrastructure to complete the project is not available. He read a letter from a postal carrier who requested a solution to the traffic problems. Hoyt asked him what he thinks should be developed on that property. Cannon said whatever is developed there should have the infrastructure to support it. Barton asked Cannon if he would advocate putting a moratorium on further development on Williams Drive in order to solve the traffic problem. Cannon said he is not against development, but thinks there needs to be a bridge across IH35 to handle the extra traffic. Ken Larsen, 105 Hillview Drive, told Council that something needs to be done with the frontage road before anything else should be done. He offered some other suggestions to make the traffic from Williams Drive flow more smoothly. Kay Ingham, 100 Hillview Drive, noted that there has been another fatality on Highway 79 where there is a traffic count of 17,000. She said the frontage road is expected to handle twice that amount of traffic. She asked that Council find an alternative road to get to SH29. Dick Seemann, 211 River Hills Drive, said he agrees that transportation is the major contributor to quality of life. He said he feels the traffic is already bad and doesn't want it to get worse. Maura Chrichton, 201 River Hills Drive, told Council she is concerned about the merging of traffic from Williams Drive onto the frontage road. She asked for and received a clarification from Foyt regarding the recommendations provided in the traffic study. Jimmy Redwine, 108 Hillview, cautioned Council to plan wisely and prepare before allowing development City Council Meeting Minutes/April 25, 2000 Page 4 of Pages 11 Pages and asked Council not to open Hillview as a thoroughfare. Gena felly, 30100 Torrey Pines, said she doesn't want to see a Home Depot or Target in Georgetown. She said she feels that an attitude of "no growth" is conceived as "sin" in Georgetown. Barton suggested the alternative to sales tax revenue or property tax from new industrial/commercial development would be to increase the property tax on existing properties. When asked what she would like to see developed in that area, she suggeted a park. Bain told about a 1/2 cent sales tax increase for the purpose of purchasing additional parkland that was defeated by the voters in 1996. He asked if a sales tax increase would be supported by the audience and was answered affirmatively. Gerry Anderson, 1551 C.R. 104, told Council he is working with a group that is trying to get a road built behind the Candle Factory. He noted that there has not been an industrial permit issued in Georgetown for a year. HH First Reading of an Ordinance to amend the Century Plan for River Hills, Section 4 and The Rivery, Lots 1, 2 and 3, from Intensity Levels 3, 41 5 and 6 to Intensity Level 5, to be know as The Rivery, Phase 1, located on IH35 and Rivery Boulevard -- Scott Ingalls and Ed Barry Ingalls gave Council an overview of the five Rivery and Rivery Park items. Lyda asked for clarification of the purpose of the Century Plan and asked why Level 5 was the chosen intensity level. Barry noted that transportation was the reason for determining Level 5. Lyda said there are 1376 existing apartment units in Georgetown, and the proposed development would contain 1300 additional apartments, which would double the current number. Maura Chrichton, 201 River Hills, asked Council to defer the Rivery items until the May Council Meeting. She told Council that a substantial change had been made to the ordinance. She asked that the zoning changes as proposed be taken back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Iva McLaughlin, 520 Wolf Road, said her family has owned land in Georgetown for 50 years. She said her family's property adjoins the property to be considered. She said the zoning changes are substantial and need to be taken to the Planning and Zoning Commission. She claimed that the developer is moving the development in order to avoid requiring a 3/4 vote of the Council. Doug Cota, 201 Oak Hollow Road, told Council that he is unhappy that the developer was not willing to compromise and revise his Concept Plan. He asked Council to let the citizens of Georgetown vote on whether they wanted this development in Georgetown. He was critical of Acting City Manager George Russell, saying that he thinks meetings between the developer and staff should be open to the public, and when he challenged Russell in the hallway, Russell told him that rule only pertained to elected officials. Chris Miller, 112 Hillview Drive, said he feels as a citizen of Georgetown he is an outsider. He said he feels the Council listens to the developers but not to the citizens. He said the traffic problems are of great concern to him. Lisa Watrous, 115 N. Oak Hollow Road, asked Council to prevent the development of the Rivery. Richard Winter, 205 N. Oak Hollow, told Council he feels the development will make Georgetown look like "1325" in Round Rock. West Short, 404 E. 7th Street, said he has bought an "antique" house in Old Town. He spoke of spending a lot of money at the Home Depot and Target stores in Round Rock, and wishes that sales tax could have gone to Georgetown. Wade Burton, 170 Young Ranch Road, said he lives out Williams Drive and feels the City needs the tax base that would be provided by stores like Home Depot and Target, and if the Rivery is not developed, further development should not be allowed further west on Williams Drive. Lyda pointed out that Burton does not live within the City Limits of Georgetown. Sam Pfiester, 30313 St. Andrews, said he has found during his campaign that citizens are particularly concerned about traffic. At Hoyt's request he suggested possible solutions to the traffic problems, such as north -south interconnects such as loops. He would encourage the completion of D.B. Wood Road. Barton noted that the Council has been attempting to deal with the transportation issues in Georgetown for at least the three years that he has been on the Council, but the funding has not been available.. Kersch noted that the City does not have a source of funding for roads. She suggested that the City needs to develop a transportation fee. Bain pointed out that the proposed bridge at Rivery Boulevard would be funded by the transportation fee collected from Sun City as impact fees are paid by the people buying homes in Sun City. Banks said that the Northwest Boulevard extension was made possible also by that transportation fee from Sun City. Kersch asked Briggs to speak to the problem with the endangered species found in connection with any further construction on D.B. Wood Road. Briggs said due to the City Council Meeting Minutes/April 25, 2000 Page 5 of Pages 11 Pages possibility of endangered species in the proposed site for the extension of D.B. Wood Road, the County has still not received permission from Texas Fish and Wildlife for that project. Russell asked Briggs to respond to Pfiester's question of what was paid for the traffic study. Briggs said the study came out of a contract that was already in place for a larger study but was not able to determine an amount at this time. 11:12 p.m. recessed -- 11:30 p.m. Ingalls read only the caption of the ordinance after having satisfied the requirements of the Charter. Motion by Lyda, second by Burson to defer this item to the first meeting in May when the concept plan and the zoning are considered. He said his reason was because changing the Intensity to Level 5 would not be appropriate. He suggested that the Century Plan be followed. He read a list of questions that he wants the staff or the developers to answer. The questions were: (1) What is the projected property tax revenue from these projects? (2) What is the projected sales tax revenue from these projects? (3) What is the projected cost of providing city services to these projects? (4) What is the projected cost of road improvements necessitated by these projects, both city cost and developer cost? (5) What is the projected cost of the loss of citizen utility brought about by the traffic constraints that would be brought about by this project? (6) What is the loss of other sales tax revenue in this town from these "big box" retail establishments? (7) What is the loss of other property tax revenue in this town brought about by the establishment of this large amount of retail space? (8) Taking all that into account, what is the projected net gain in tax revenue after you subtract our direct cost of subsidizing this development? He said he thought the Council needed to know the answer to those questions before they could consider this project as an "economic deal." Russell said the Quorum Group has asked that their items be pulled until they get a formal letter prepared. Banks suggested deferring to May 9, which would still be within the 45 -day window. Motion by Bain, second by Lyda to amend the motion on the floor to also defer Items II, JJ, KK, and LL to the May 9 Meeting. Amendment approved 4-3. (Barton, Valdez and Tonn opposed) Kersch asked for a vote on the motion as amended. Original motion approved 4-3. (Barton, Valdez and Tonn opposed) Kersch called a recess at 11:43 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 26, to resume the Workshop and the remainder of the items on the agenda. Continuation of the Workshop from April 25 was called to order at 5:40 p.m. on Wednesday, April 26, 2000 A Workshop to review and discuss the Updated Capital Improvement Projects Plan in preparation for the 2000-2001 Annual Operating Pian -- Jim Briggs The workshop was continued on April 26 and was called to order at 5:40 p.m. Kersch, Lyda, Bain, Hoyt, Tonn, Barton and Burson were present. Kersch commended Briggs and staff for their preparation on this presentation. Gerry Anderson, 1551 C.R. 104, asked Council to work with the County to get the road built that was to be built through the Capital Fund Grant that was rejected. 6:45 p.m. recessed for Executive Session B Sec.551.071 consultation with attorney C Sec.551.072 deliberation on real property - Georgetown Independent School District lease expansion D Sec.551.074 personnel matters - Process for hiring City Manager E Sec.551.086 deliberation regarding economic development - Rivery 7:12 p.m. resumed Open Session F Action from Executive Session There was no action from Executive Session at this time.

P Consideration of a Final Plat of 42.196 acres in the Frederick Foy Survey, to be known as The Planned Unit Development of Sun City Georgetown, Phase 4-A, Neighborhood 16-A, located along Dove Hollow Trail -- Wendy Walsh and Ed Barry (pulled by Hoyt to be addressed after the Rivery items are discussed)(Rivery items were discussed at the Tuesday, April 25, session of the Council Meeting.) Todd Jansen of Sun City Georgetown offered to answer any questions. There were no questions. Motion by Lyda, second by Bain to approve the Final Plat. Approved 6-0. V Update report on the 2000/01 Budget process -- Micki Rundell Russell reported for Rundell. Russell invited citizens to attend a Town Hall Meeting on the Budget on Monday, May 1, at the Community Center at 5:30 p.m. for an Open House with a facilitated discussion to begin at 7:00 p.m. where citizens can address the Council. He said that Don Collier has been asked to facilitate. Russell added that on Wednesday, May 3, there will be a Special Council Meeting at City Hall to do the Budget Mid -Year Review. He noted also that on May 10 and 11 there will be a discussion with Council to determine the goals and objectives and ranking process for the annual budget for the upcoming fiscal year. W Report on saving of San Gabriel Cemetery in the Blue Hole Park -- Randy Morrow Morrow apologized to the Historical Society for not getting them involved in the process in the beginning. He noted that the representative from Eagle Services was not able to attend the meeting this evening although he was present on Tuesday night. Morrow explained the method used by Eagle Services to restore the broken headstones. Morrow distributed information to the Council on the services provided by Eagle Services. He said he misunderstood the intent of the Council regarding the restoration and had not attempted to make the restoration historically correct. J. C. Johnson, 303 E. 9th Street, told Council it is the Council's responsibility to make sure the cemetery is cared for. He said irrepairable damage has been done to the headstones. He suggested hiring a consultant to study and provide a report on the condition of the cemetery. He asked that the Council consider funding not more than $1,000 for this consulting work. Johnson noted that Irene Varan, of the Texas Historical Commission, was present last night to speak but unable to return this evening. He said she would have told them that a permit to the Texas Historical Commission was required before any restoration was done to any public cemetery. Johnson told Council that Wilson had not followed the recommended procedure provided by the Texas Historical Commission. Will Moore, 502 Pine Street, representing the Georgetown Heritage Society, said he thinks the procedure could cause the loss of the marker that the Texas Historical Commission has placed at that cemetery. He told Council he feels anyone familiar with restoring cemeteries should be familiar with the regulations of the Historical Commission. He asked Council to approve the funding of the consultant to investigate the work that was done in Georgetown, as well as on other cemeteries throughout the area. He commended J. C. Johnson for his dedication to historic preservation. Kersch suggested that Council needs to develop a policy for dealing with preservation issues. X Policy discussion on the method of implementation of the Urban Design amendments to the Zoning Ordinance -- Scott Ingalls and Ed Barry Barry said this item was placed on the agenda in order to make sure that Council is aware of two issues before adopting the urban design ordinances. He said one issue deals with the effective date of the ordinance after publication. He said that would allow all projects "currently in the pipeline" to resume the process. He noted that even if the publication of the ordinance were delayed, people who were already into the process should be given some lead time to consider the new rules. He said the second issue deals with the vesting statute which has been in place since the 1980's, repealed for a few years, and readopted several years ago. He said the rules in place when the permit is applied for are the rules that apply for the subdivision process, but not for the zoning, saying the zoning ordinance would "override" the vesting statute. He said the Planning and Zoning Commission suggested several options: (1) not applying the new rules to previously -approved projects. He said there are a number of projects which pre -date the changes in the ordinances. (2) that the zoning ordinance not be subject to vesting. He suggested an approach "somewhere in between" whereby a person that has already entered the process would have to apply for a building permit within some period of time after the adoption of the ordinances. Barry told Council that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends a 30 -day period. He noted that If any changes are desired by Council, they can be incorporated into the second readings of the ordinances. Tonn and Lyda discussed City Council Meeting Minutes/April 25, 2000 Page 7 of Pages 11 Pages granting 120-180 days from the time the Detailed Development Plan is approved until the building permit is granted. He noted that he is speaking about projects that are currently in the process. Banks said a third reading would not be required to make the change. Y Second reading of an ordinance disannexing 9.023 acres of land in the John Berry Survey, known as Lots 1-4, Embree Subdivision -- Marianne Banks (Bain Marianne abstained) Lyda Banks read the caption of the ordinance on second reading. Motion by Tonn, second by Barton to approve Ordinance No. 2000-20. Approved 5-0. (Bain abstained) Z Second reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 10. 16.080 of the Code of Ordinances regarding the parking and storage of commercial vehicles on public property -- Marianne Banks Banks noted that Council had previously requested certain wording changes. She asked if Council wished to have "government vehicles" added back into the ordinance. She said Section 2 would be revised to add: "this section shall not apply to vehicles owned by government authorities." Banks noted that an additional reading of the amended ordinance would be on the next agenda. Banks read the caption only of the ordinance on second reading. Motion by Bain, second by Lyda to approve. Approved 6-0. AA Second reading of an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance to include standards for implementation of the Urban Design Element of the Century Plan -- Charlie Barton, Hoss Burson, and Clark Lyda Barton noted that Option B had been left off of Page 8, Sec. 2.02.05. Barry read the correction and read the amended language and the caption of the ordinance. Banks corrected the reading to remove the "Sunset Clause." Motion by Barton, second by Hoyt to approve Ordinance No. 2000-22 with a change in the wording on Sec. 6 of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment to read as follows: "A 180 -day time period from the effective date is hereby established during whcih previously approved applications under the Subdivision Regulations will have an opportunity to make application for a building permit and be exempt from the amendments being approved under this ordinance." Approved 6-0. BB Second reading of an ordinance amending the Subdivision Regulations with regard to lighting for multi -family and commercial uses and landscaping and buffering standards -- Charlie Barton, Hoss Burson, and Clark Lyda Barry read the caption of the ordinance on second reading.

It was decided to make this reading a first reading in order to incorporate the options. Barry read the caption of the ordinance. Motion by Barton, second by Lyda for this to be approved as a first reading and to take all of option A, 2 (a) of option B, Option A of low profile signs with the landscaping requirement at double the square footage of one side of the sign. Barton thanked staff for their efforts to put these amendments together. Barry thanked Barton and other members of the committee for developing the revised ordinances. Approved 6-0. 8:17 p.m. - recessed -- 8:35 p.m. resumed Item TT was pulled forward at this time. TT Report on progress of Complete Count Committee's efforts to assure citizen participation in Census 2000 -- George Russell Russell listed the members of the Complete Count Committee and reported on the activities of the Committee. He introduced Leslie Lawson of the Census Bureau who said Williamson County exceeded the response rate of the state with 71 %. She noted that Census workers would be visiting the 29% of households that did not respond to the questionnaires. She noted that the Census workers would be wearing a badge and would not ask to enter the homes. She distributed copies of a chart that shows where City Council Meeting MinuteslApril 25, 2000 Page 8 of Pages 11 Pages the census workers would be concentrating their work in Georgetown. DD First Reading of an ordinance repealing Chapter 15.36 of the Code of Ordinances entitled "Building Numbering" and adoption of a new Chapter 15.36 entitled "Street Naming and Site Addressing" to establish a uniform street naming and site addressing system for the City -- Rebecca Wainwright and Tom Yantis Clay Shell read the caption of the ordinance. Motion by Tonn, second by Bain to approve on first reading. Approved 6-0, EE Consideration of policy direction on the standard form (ease provisions for the Georgetown Municipal Airport -- Marianne Banks (Lyda abstained) Banks noted that there are two types of leases at the airport. She recalled several items in the past several months that were revised because lenders had requested changes. She requested direction from the Council and explained the list supplied on the item cover sheet. Kersch and Bain expressed concern that the City would be required to take a second lien position. Ron Willingham, 517 Esparada, noted that a lender was present in the audience if Council had questions on the lien issue. He introduced Brad Curlee of Texas Heritage Bank who gave Council his opinion of the reason why a lender would request a first lien position. Willingham said he felt there were two separate arrangements for airport leases --one being a hangar lease, and one being a land lease. He encouraged Council to encompass as many options as possible in one standard lease, but still allow an occasional applicant to come forward with an exception to the rule. FF Consideration of the assignment of the Dison Airport Land Lease to D & R Hangars and the sublease of the hangar to AIM Aviation Services, Inc. -- Travis McLain and Verna Browning Browning noted that the bank desires the lien subordination, and also told Council that Dison is asking that the name be changed to D & R Hangars along with approval of a sublease for AIM Aviation Services. Motion by Barton, second by Bain to approve the lease with the language that the City Attorney shall include regarding an estoppel letter as opposed to lien subordination and approving the change from Dison to D & R and sublease to AIM. Approved 6-0. GG Consideration of approval of an amendment to the Lease Agreement between the City and G. Kent Holiday and Brett D. Bartschi, to change lot, and consideration of a landlord's waiver requested by lender -- Travis McLain and Verna Browning Browning pointed out that this item also includes two options: a landlord's waiver and a change in lot from Lot 5028 to Lot 502C. Banks said she assumed Council would request the estoppel letter and not the waiver, saying the lease could be amended to include that the lender would receive notice of notice of default.
