First Reading of an ordinance rezoning Crestview Addition, Unit 1, Block 2, Lot 5, from RS, Residential Single Family to RM -3, Office and Service Use, or more restrictive district, located at 1610 Williams Drive -- Melissa Murphy and Amelia Sondgeroth Murphy read only the caption of the ordinance after having satisfied the requirements of the City Charter. Fritz Steltzer, 1614 Williams Drive, speaking on behalf of the rezoning, said he built his house 43 years ago when Williams Drive was a residential street. He said he supports a zoning change and encourages Council to do the same. Akram Amani, 1610 Williams Drive, applicant, said she wants to hire other people to work for her and therefore must apply for different zoning. She said she talked to her neighbors and they all support her efforts. Sharon Rawls, 705A Kimberly, spoke to Council in favor of the rezoning. Les Romo, attorney representing Amani, said at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, she had received permission from all but two of her neighbors, but now she has their permission and he distributed those letters to Council. He asked Council to approve the rezoning. There was discussion regarding the process for applying for rezoning. Murphy answered Council questions on the different zoning designations. Motion by Evans, second by Pfiester to change the zoning to RM -3. Approved 7-0. Z Consideration and possible action on a Concept Plan for 57.356 acres, more or less, out of the William Addison Survey and the Woodruff Stubblefield Survey, to be known as Meadows of Georgetown, located at CR 102 -- Melissa Murphy and Amelia Sondgeroth Murphy told Council that the developer meets the requirements of the Concept Plan and noted there would be a construction route noted on the construction plans. There were questions regarding the amount of parkland being dedicated. Murphy noted that this was approved by the Parks Board. Lyda noted that the property is within the TXU/Oncor electric service area and will be served by Jonah Water, questioning why the City had annexed it. It was determined that, in the future, utility service would be considered "early on" in the annexation process. Jack Oster, 321 Santa Anita Way, Treasurer of the Homeowners Association, told Council he is moving out of Churchill Farms to the Woodlands in a few days, but wanted to bring Council's attention to some portions in the Subdivision Regulations that he said are being ignored if Churchill Farms Road is allowed to connect to the Churchill Farms Subdivision. Brian Deringer, 717 Santa Anita Way, said he has met with Cunningham -Allen and doesn't understand how they can put the street through that will bring heavy traffic into the neighborhood. He asked Council to disapprove the Concept Plan. Chuck Carroll of Cunningham -Allen, Inc. said he has met with the residents of the neighborhood several times and explained to Council that the alignment of the road is designed to slow the traffic and allow for City Council Meeting Minutes/February 26, 2002 Page 6 of 11 Pages several larger lots to be created. He said his company is attempting to work to solve drainage problems. He said the parkland that has been dedicated is located adjacent to land owned by the City that is proposed to be used as a buffer to the treatment plant. He said Parks and Recreation Director Randy Morrow suggested that the improvements be built early on. He said he has worked to make this Concept Plan comply with the Subdivision Regulations. Jim Boles of Timberlane Investments, the developer, told Council they want to be a good neighbor, and is encouraging the establishment of a homeonwer's association. He said he has tried to meet all of the City's requirements. David Madole, 706 Churchill Farms Drive, told Council he opposed the intensity level change when it came to Council several months ago, but met with members of Cunningham -Allen and thought they had an understanding. He said the extension of Churchill Farms Drive will lead eventually to the Inner Loop, and CR102 will someday be the SH130 corridor. He said he is not opposed to the development, but is definitely opposed to the increased traffic if the connection is allowed to be put through. (Two other speakers donated their time to Madole so he could continue to speak beyond the three-minute limit.) He also referred to the Subdivision Regulations and said they are not being followed by this Concept Plan. He suggested that CR 102 be used as an alternate route. He noted that he had provided to the Council a copy of a petition signed by 426 residents of Churchill Farms requesting that Council not approve the Concept Plan if the connection to Churchill Farms is included in that Concept Plan. O'Barr Rost, realtor, representing the sellers of the property, read a statement from them saying that they feel Timberlane Investments has worked well with the residents of Churchill Farms. They said the street extension has been planned since the development of Churchill Farms, and the residents should have been aware that the street would go through. They said to deny the developers their Concept Plan sends the message that developers can follow all the rules and yet still be denied to develop. Duane Harnish, 700 Del Mar Drive, said the Santa Anita drainage problem should be addressed by the City without the assistance of the developer, and said he would not go to a park so close to a treatment plant. He questioned whether the flow of construction traffic would be policed. David Munk displayed a map and explained that there should not be excessive traffic on Churchill Farms Drive. He demonstrated that there will be several other parallel streets that will take some of the traffic. There was further discussion. Sondgeroth confirmed that the Concept Plan meets the current subdivision regulations. Evans asked Briggs to speak to a method to "calm the traffic" once Churchill Farms Drive is extended. Briggs suggested that four-way stops be put in before the traffic begins to build up. Lyda asked and Munk responded that the connection to CR 102 is necessary so that traffic could flow both ways. He asked and Murphy responded about the variances that would be necessary at the Public Review Final Plat for the centerline radii of the road to be at 250 foot to accomodate the T intersection. She said another variance is needed because of a cul de sac that exceeds the length requirements and and some houses that do not meet the driveway separation requirements. Carls confirmed that the subdivision regulations have been met. There was further discussion. Motion by Lyda, second by Burson to approve the Concept Plan with direction to City staff to develop four-way stops and reduce speed limit along Churchill Farms Drive to discourage through traffic and to require strict enfocement of the construction traffic. Lyda and Burson agreed to include that the City would evaluate the traffic patterns within the entire area including collector roads to the south and come up with a phasing plan to do that, and asked that staff work directly with the Churchill Farm residents. Approved 7-4. 9:26 p.m. -- recessed 9:46 p.m. -- resumed X Georgetown Municipal Airport 1. Discussion and possible action to postpone the March 1, 2002 effective date of the airport rate increases approved at the January 8, 2002 City Council meeting to allow additional time for staff to review the rates -- Trish Carls Carls asked for flexibility in providing the information to Council by April. John Fenoglio, said he was raised here and is raising his family here, and rents a T -hangar at the City Council Meeting Minutes/February 26, 2002 Page 7 of 11 Pages Airport. He said he no longer sees a need for a tower at the airport due to the reduction of student pilot traffic. He said the people on the waiting list for T -hangars are waiting for the older, cheaper hangars. He said the newest hangars will eventually go vacant as the airports in the surrounding cities build their hangars which will be cheaper. He asked that the Council find a less descriminatory way to assess increases. Mike Zucker, 4213 Verde Vista, told Council he owns and operates Ican Aviation. He said he thinks there needs to be equitable methods of charging people to pay for the tower. He suggested that additional data needs to be collected. He suggested a free and open discussion in a public hearing to determine how to pay for the tower. Keith Peshak, 800 Oak Crest Lane, displayed a letter that he said the Council had received that told Council their decision was not legal. He said the fee increases must be charged equitably. He suggested that the Airport Board be asked to make the decisions instead of the Council. Motion by Noble, second by Lyda to approve deferring this item until a future meeting. Approved 7-0, Y Public Review Final Plats 1. Consideration and possible action on a Public Review Final Plat for 8.951 acres out of the Joseph Fish Survey, to be known as Woodlake, Phase 2, located on Williams Drive across from Shell Road -- Carla Benton and Amelia Sondgeroth Motion by Burson, second by Evans to approve.

Consideration and possible action regarding the recommendation of the Convention and Visitors' Bureau Board for approval of the application by the Georgetown Heritage Society for $7,400.00 in Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) funds -- Rusty Winkstern and MaryEllen Kersch Winkstern explained the item. There was discussion regarding the City having agreed to pay for half the cost of the painting of Grace Church. Jim Dillard, from the audience, said the City did pay $7,000 and the Heritage Society paid $7400, and now Heritage Society is asking to be reimbursed for their share out of the Hotel Occupancy Tax revenue. Navarrette questioned and Gael Dillard responded that originally in 1992, the City had agreed to maintain the exterior of the building and the grounds, but the actual cost was split with the Heritage Society, and now the Heritage Society is asking to be reimbursed from the occupancy tax funds. There was further discussion. Lyda said that a lease with the Heritage Society was signed that allows the Society to retain all of the revenue derived from the use of the Heritage Center and therefore, the responsibility for the maintenance of the building. It was pointed out that the $50,000 budget for HOT funds is not there yet, but would be allocated with a budget amendment in May. It was also pointed out that occupancy tax revenues are down by 15%. There was further discussion. Lyda said the lease needs to be reviewed. Jim Dillard said spending the $7400 decreased the operating funds and will City Council Meeting Minutes/February 26, 2002 Page 8 of 11 Pages need to be replaced so that the work of the Heritage Society can continue. Motion by Smith, second by Navarrette to deny the funding request. Approved 6-1. (Noble opposed) 2.
