Wright Survey, locally known as Serenada East Subdivision - Units 1, 4, 5, portions of Unit 2
and 3 and surrounding area -- Clyde von Rosenberg and Ed Barry
von Rosenberg read the resolution.
Wood asked Banks to explain the purpose of the annexation. Banks explained that this
annexation would be done to include Berry Creek in District 5.
von Rosenberg outlined the service plan highlighting the sewer service, saying that a portion
of the area is already connected to the City sewer system, and that the remainder of the area
would be provided sewer connections within 4 1/2 years of the date of annexation.
Walker Cushman, 4315 Cordoba Circle East, complained to Council of the high price of
$4800 to connect to the City sewer line, saying that his septic system is sufficient. He said he
does not care to be annexed and does not want to pay City taxes. He complained of potholes,
and of the roads being tom up to supply the sewer line to Sun City.
Bain pointed out two potholes at Gabriel View and Booty's Road.
George Simpson, 4313 Cordoba Circle East, said he objects to being annexed and objects to
paying for the sewer line that goes to Sun City.
Wood said that the sewer line to Sun City had nothing to do with the proposed annexation.
He said that the Berry Creek annexation is what initiated the need for the annexation of this
portion of Serenada.
Simpson asked for copies of the service plan. Hart asked staff to make copies and distribute
them to those in the audience that wanted them.
Mike Jackson, from the audience, asked if Berry Creek had been improperly annexed. Banks
replied that the annexation was proper and explained that in order to draw the City Single
Member Districts correctly within population distribution requirements, Berry Creek would
need to become apart of District 5. In order to make Berry Creek contiguous with the current
District 5, a strip of land through the Serenada Subdivision would need to be annexed.
When asked why the City was not annexing Indian Mound, Hart responded that the
annexation area follows the drainage basin for the connecting sewer line, and that there is
currently no sewer line in Indian Mound.
Frank Parmenter, 4106 Sequoia Trail East, said he found contradictory statements in the
service plan for the annexation. He asked the Council not to make it mandatory for people
with good septic systems to tie into the City sewer line.

PP First Reading of an ordinance establishing water conservation rates for residential customers
for billing periods between June and October -- Susan Morgan
Morgan explained that this ordinance is the result of what was discussed in a previous
Council workshop to conserve water and postpone building the next water treatment plant.
She read the caption of the ordinance. Bain questioned whether the rates were the same as
discussed at the workshop, and asked Morgan how the figures were derived. Morgan
explained that there were no scientific methods and anything over the $1.95 rate would be set
aside and saved to put toward the cost of future plant expansion.
Mulock asked for the timeframe on electronic reading of water. Hart responded that the City
anticipates the electronic reading to begin the first quarter of 1998. Morgan said the
conservation rates would go into effect on June 1, 1997.
Motion by Bain, second by Burson to approve the ordinance on first reading. Approved 7-0.
QQ First Reading of an ordinance to rezone a 12.615 acre tract in the William Roberts Survey
from A. Agricultural to C -2A, Commercial First Height, or any more restrictive district; also
known as Berry Creek, Section Five, Block D, Lot 4, and Block E, Lot 5, and a portion of the
St. Andrews Drive right of way; located on SH195 -- Hildy Kingma and Ed Barry
Kingma explained that it had previously been platted, but because no improvements had been
made to the property, that plat is no longer valid. She noted that staff and the Planning and
Zoning Commission have recommended restricting to prohibit mini -warehouses. Kingma
read the caption only of the ordinance on first reading after satisfying the requirements of the
Charter.
Motion by Tonn, second by Burson to approve the ordinance on first reading. Approved 7-0.

relating to Speed Zones on Interstate Highway 35 Frontage Roads by renumbering the section

Banks noted that the acceptance of the frontage road was on the Consent Agenda. She said
the State has posted 55 mph signs, and the purpose of this ordinance is to enable the Police
Department to legally enforce that speed limit. She noted that there are other frontage roads
in Georgetown that have not been officially included in the Code of Ordinances, and at some
point it would be necessary to adopt an ordinance addressing those speed limits also. Banks
read the ordinance.
