Q Consideration of a resolution establishing a current estimated population for Georgetown and the extra -territorial jurisdiction -- Clyde von Rosenberg and Ed Barry von Rosenberg explained that the estimate is based on the number of utility connections. He said there are 24,000 people within city limits and 12,000 in the ETJ. Hart noted that there were several formulas the City could use, and the City used a conservative method to determine the estimate. von Rosenberg read the resolution. Bain asked the benefit to the community. Hart noted that when the population reaches 25,000, the ETJ boundary enlarges to two miles from one mile. von Rosenberg noted that by the 2000 census, the City will be over 25,000.

R First Reading of an ordinance rezoning of 16.773 acres in the Nicholas Porter Survey, to be known as (Revised) San Gabriel Village, Section One, Lots 1 and 2, to change Lot 1 from C -2A - Restricted, Commercial First Height to C -2A - Restricted, Commercial First Height to exclude all residential district uses, and to change Lot 2 from the C -2A - Restricted, Commercial First Height to C -2A - Restricted, Commercial First Height, to include multifamily residential uses only, or any more restrictive district, located on IH -35 North, between SH29 and FM2338 -- Wendy Walsh and Ed Barry Walsh read the caption only on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of the City Charter. Applicant, Don Martin, showed Council a drawing of the proposed development. Motion by Barton, second by Valdez to approve the ordinance on first reading. Approved 7-0. S Consideration of a Public Review Final Plat of 31.894 acres in the Nicholas Porter Survey, to be known as (Revised) San Gabriel Village, Section One, located on IH -35 North, between SH29 and FM2338 -- Wendy Walsh and Ed Barry Walsh told Council that this item contains nine lots including parkland, multi -family, and commercial zoning. She said the applicant is proposing to dedicate parkland to transfer for impervious cover. Walsh noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the plat, providing technical issues are met, and staff recommends excluding #4 (Plat Note 19). Bain asked for and received from Banks the procedure for banking the parkland. Applicant, Don Martin, demonstrated that he is proposing to give 10 acres of usable parkland as well as the cliffs above Blue Hole to the City with the stipulation that the archaeological areas be protected. He reminded Council that they had approved the archaeological easement on Section 2. He said that because the City has not come forward with funding or a plan on how to protect the archaeological relics, he is asking that the easement be allowed so that his firm can protect the area. He mentioned that he has spoken to the Georgetown Historical Society and they would like to see the relics removed and displayed. City Council Meeting Minutes/February 10, 1998 Page 3 of 5 Pages Banks explained that if it is City property, the relics automatically become property of the State of Texas. Hart explained that the City's proposed use is compatible, i.e., the Hike and Bike Trail, but the Council would probably not want the trail to be excavated; therefore, Plat Note 19 needs to be better defined in order to allow the proper use of the land. Martin said he would be happy to withdraw his proposal to dedicate the parkland to the City of Georgetown, and suggested he would talk to the City of Austin Park Foundation who has offered to accept the parkland and provide the easement. Wood asked Martin for a timeframe to allow Banks to research the issue. Martin said he needed a decision tonight. Barton said, if, in fact, the Council had allowed an easement on the other section, the Council should again vote the same way. Wood suggested approving the Final Plat contingent on Item 19 being worked out by the City Attorney. Martin asked for a decision at this meeting. Motion by Bain, second by Davis to defer this item until later in the meeting. Approved 7-0. T First Reading of an ordinance rezoning of 2.708 acres in the Ruidosa Irrigation Company and Clement Stubblefield Surveys, from C -2A, Commercial First Height to C -2A, Commercial First Height, regarding the Subdivision Plat Requirement, to be known as Alu-Cut International, Inc., located on Industrial Avenue -- Wendy Walsh and Ed Barry Walsh noted that the request from the applicant is to allow development before recording the plat. Walsh read the caption only of the ordinance on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of the City Charter. Motion by Bain, second by Burson to approve this ordinance on first reading. Approved 7-0. U Consideration of a Concept Plan for 292.29 acres in the Lewis P. Dyches, C, Joyner, and John Sutherland Surveys, to be known as The Woods of Fountainwood, located on Jim Hogg Road and Russell Park Road (CR 262) -- David Munk and Ed Barry Munk noted that this would be a 220 -lot residential subdivision and would be supplied water by Chisholm Trail Special Utility District and electric service by Pedernales Electric Cooperative; and that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval, providing technical issues are addressed. Motion by Bain, second by Davis to approve the Concept Plan. Approved 7-0.
