Nelson described the project layout. She said that the applicant had requested to amend its existing Wolf
Ranch Planned Unit Development (PUD) to expand its existing Wolf Ranch master planned community to
include property currently owned by the Britton Family Trust and Guy Jr. Family Trust (Guy Tract). Nelson
said that the Wolf Ranch existing PUD land uses include Residential, Commercial, an Elementary School, an
Amenity Center and Parkland Dedication with zoning uses that include RS, MU, TF, TH, CN, C-1, C-3, MF -1,
MF -2, OF, and BP on various parts of the property.
Nelson explained that the Guy Tract portion of the overall PUD is located within an area referred to as
Moderate Density Residential in Georgetown's current 2030 Comprehensive Plan. She said the applicant
has indicated the request is necessary to rezone the Guy Tract consistent with the City's 2030
Comprehensive Plan, to make minor revisions to the Wolf Ranch PUD provisions (excluding Phase 1 of Wolf
Ranch) necessitated by the addition of land to the Wolf Ranch PUD, and to update the sign package for Wolf
Ranch now that the development is underway and signage needs have been identified with more certainty.
Nelson said that the school site has been relocated. She said that most of the PUD already has entitlements
and the applicant is now looking to bring the Guy Tract into the existing PUD. Nelson spoke on incorporating
moderate density residential and multi -family locations. She spoke on the open space plan. Nelson said
there would be 12 units to an acre for a maximum of 800 units. She noted that the future land use
designation is supported. Nelson explained that the request adds a major trail corridor, which the parks staff
supports.
Nelson spoke on the Development Standards
• Residential Development Standards
• Open Space, Trails and Parkland
• Additional Multifamily Regulations'
• Impact Fees
• Connectivity
Nelson explained that each multifamily building containing 25 or more dwelling units is subject to
requirements. She explained that no building facade shall exceed 240 feet in length, except one building
fagade exceeding 240 feet in length is permitted per lot if the facade is in direct proximity to the common
amenity/pool area or does not face a public street right-of-way, and is part of a non -rectangular building that
has a shape similar to a "U," "T," or "L". Nelson said that every building facade must comply with the building
design standards in Section 7.04 of the UDC in effect on the date of this ordinance, regardless of whether the
fagade faces a public street, public park, or adjacent single-family residential district. She said, in addition, a
minimum of 25 percent of the collective facades of each building shall be finished in stone or brick masonry
(excluding stucco and plaster), and if a facade is facing, and within 150 feet of, an adjacent public street or an
adjacent single-family residential zoning district, a minimum of 50 percent of that individual facade shall be
finished in stone or brick masonry (excluding stucco and plaster). She explained that, for the purposes of
this provision, a single-family residential zoning district includes single-family residential zoning districts
located inside and outside of the Wolf Ranch PUD.
Nelson spoke on connectivity. She explained that a subdivision of 99 lots or less must provide access to the
existing or planned public roadway system via at least two access points. She added that a subdivision of
greater than 99 lots and less than 299 lots shall provide access to the existing or proposed public roadway
system via three access points, at a minimum. Nelson said that subdivisions of 300 lots or greater shall be
required to provide four access points to the existing or proposed public roadway system, subject to review by
the Development Engineer. She noted that one additional access point shall be provided for each
300 lots exceeding the initial 300 -lot subdivision and additional access points shall be shown on the plat and
construction plans for the development. Nelson noted that construction of the street may be postponed to a
later phase of development and the Planning and Zoning Commission may require the construction of any
access point at the time of approval of the final plat. Nelson said the Planning Director is permitted to grant
an Administrative Exception to connection requirements, if natural or man-made barriers would hinder the
possibility of connection.
Nelson said the cap of 20% is consistent with other PUDs. She provided the UDC Objectives for PUDs.

Nelson spoke on 3 recommended conditions of approval
• Removal of the trenching detail included within this PUD and identified as Exhibit F-7
■ Removal of trail construction timing from Section 6d of the PUD
• Street cross sections are subject to compliance with fire code and will be further refined at the time
of platting to ensure compliance with on -street parking and turning radius.
Nelson said she will need Council direction to move forward with the expansion of the PUD and will need a
proposed timing of trail and parkland.
Nelson read the caption
Brian Carlock, the Senior Vice President of Hillwood, provided a brief presentation from the applicant on the
Guy Tract expansion request. Carlock spoke on the Hillwood Legacy, with over 30 years of development.
He explained that Hillwood wants to be a good community partner. Carlock noted that the Hillwood Marketing
Director, currently in Wyoming, is moving to Georgetown and loves the City.
Carlock spoke on the timeline for the Wolf Ranch request for expansion. He provided a map of the
development and an aerial shot of Phase 1, as well as images of model homes. Carlock noted that 120
homes have been sold with a price range from $300,000 to $675,000, with an average price of just over
$400,000. He spoke on the recently opened Amenity Center, called the Den.
An overview of the Guy Tract was provided. Carlock spoke on the challenges of the Southwest Bypass and
the Quarry. He showed a drone video of the property and spoke on developable pods. Carlock spoke on the
plans for open space and said that the open space will far exceed the required open space or parkland
requirements. He said that the trail project will complete 3'/ miles of regional trails to Garey Park.
Carlock noted that the Guy Tract PUD amendment will extend high quality standards in the area.
Mayor Ross opened the Public Hearing at 6.55 PM.
Persons who signed up to speak on Item J included: Robert Brown, Jeff Latimer, Wade Parsons, Barton Levy
and Nancy Levy, and Macky Besley.

Mayor Ross closed the Public Hearing at 7:10 PM.
Councilmember Nicholson thanked those who took the time to attend the meeting and bring their points to the
Council. She said she wants the developer to address the construction concerns.
Councilmember Nicholson asked Nelson to describe the protections in place and timelines for a project, such
as this, which will take years. Nelson said the City's tree guidelines for protected trees will be followed. She
said the applicant will be required to provide a tree survey and the City's arborist will analyze the report.
Nelson said this happens during sub division plat and site development. Nelson said the subdivision plat at
preliminary plat stage will go before the Planning & Zoning Commission and stops at the P&Z Commission
level. Nelson said the site development phase is done administratively by staff. She explained that if it meets
the standards of the PUD, there will not be a public hearing or publication. Nelson said that, as part of all
development, and this project will take a number of years, often the Planning Department will be called on
and will get with the proper staff for expertise with concerns.
Mayor Ross said that he had heard 3 concerns, which included silt in the river, protection of heritage trees,
and concern regarding the concrete trail. Nelson said the silt will be addressed with the developer and the
heritage trees survey has already been prepared. Ross said there are standards in Georgetown that will all
be followed. Nelson confirmed and said this is all part of the UDC requirements. She added that Parks and
Recreation Director, Kimberly Garrett, has reviewed the park proposal and is in support of the proposal.
Nelson noted that FEMA requirements must always be followed. City Manager, David Morgan, noted that the
TCEQ will weigh in on the trail development and require that stormwater standards are met.
Councilmember Gonzalez said that there is 150 acres of open space proposed in the Guy Tract alone, which
makes the development 25% open space.
Councilmember Hesser spoke on the flood plain and asked how far the homes are from the 100 year flood
plain. Carlock said no homes are anywhere near the flood plain in the FEMA map and no homes will
encroach the 100 year flood plain.
Councilmember Eby spoke on the tree preservation guidelines and asked about the term "except as shown in
the plan". Eby asked if the developer has weakened or enhanced the property. Nelson said the proposal is
allowed by the UDC, but the arborist will be analyzing the study. Eby clarified that this Item is a request to
add land to an already existing PUD.
Motion by Nicholson, second by Hesser, to approve Item J.
Councilmember Jonrowe asked if citizens could follow up with staff if they felt that something wasn't
addressed. Nelson said she would be the contact.
Barton Levy spoke again and asked if one person could represent the concerned neighbors at the site
development meetings. City Manager, Morgan, said the applicant will reach out to concerned residents and
that the Planning Director, Sofia Nelson, will be looking out for the neighbors and updating the Council.
Carlock told Levy that there is a Hillwood General Manager in Georgetown who is availble to speak to at any
time.

Highland Village. He explained that he would combine discussion and presentations for the next four Items,
which all pertain to Cowan Springs Agreements. These Items will include Item M, Item N, Item O and Item
