Regular Agenda R Citizens wishing to address the Council All citizens who had registered to speak preferred to wait until discussion at Item T. S Mayor, Council, City Manager and staff comments and reports Hart reminded Council of the Joint Meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission to be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 31, in the Council Chambers. T Approval of a concept plan of River Hills, Section One, Block A, Lots 16 and 17, and Section Two, located on IH35 frontage road/Ed Barry and Hildy Kingma Kingma pointed out to Council that a revised concept plan had been provided on the dias. The major difference was the removal of the proposed multi -family housing. She noted that Council could approve this item tonight, but it would need to be returned to the Planning and Zoning Commission for final approval. The following citizens were recognized by Mayor Wood and expressed their opposition to the concept plan: Maura Crichton, 201 River Hills Drive John Czap, 2406 County Road 110 Brandon Moore, 111 N. Oak Hollow Minutes of City Council Meeting January 24, 1995 Page 3 of 7 Pages Edward Rodriguez, 105 River Hills Drive Eileen DeLuca, 208 River Hills Drive Richard Winter, 203 N. Oak Hollow Jim Redwine, 108 Hillview John Warden of Situs Planning and Design spoke to Council, representing the developer. He told Council that he and the developer had met with the River Hills neighborhood, including three members of the homeowners association, and that they had agreed to the revised concept plan. The density that is being requested is Level 3, actually less than the Level 3.7 allowed by the Century Plan. The multi -family designation is no longer being requested. Wood explained that the sewer is being stubbed in under the highway, and not being connected by the City to any individual property. He cited one reason for installing the sewer line as being the protection of the Aquifer. McMaster asked if the recent traffic study included the River Hills area. City Attorney Banks concluded that it is included. McMaster asked to see a copy of the study. McMaster stated that he felt that extending the sewer under the highway is absolutely necessary, and that the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission is looking closely at the use of septic systems in Georgetown. He feels that it is wise to spend the money at this time to prevent any future development with septic systems, and that the City would be reimbursed when the sewer line is tied into a development. Arroyos pointed out that tax dollars don't pay for sewer systems --the City of Georgetown utilities pay for themselves. Motion by Tonn, second by Arroyos to approve the amended Concept Plan and that it go back to the Planning and Zoning Commission and come back to Council for final approval and that the developer continue to work with the association and the staff. Approved 5-2.

Gymnastics, being Horizon Commercial Park Subdivision, Block B, Lot 4, located at 605 High Tech Drive; and ratification of the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation regarding variances to the Subdivision Regulation/Ed Barry and Hildy Kingma Kingma explained that the only real issue to be dealt with here was the number of parking places to accommodate the addition to the building. The proposed Detailed Development Plan (DDP) would add four additional spaces. Staff would prefer to see a ratio of one parking space for every 200 square feet of building area.
