on Oak Valley at Mesa Verde. First Reading (J. Bierschwale/L. Busch)

The following was read into record:
ORDINANCE NO. 13-D-46
AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS
PROVIDING THAT THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ,
TEXAS BE AMENDED BY REVISING SECTION $6-41, STOP INTERSECTIONS-
DESIGNATED; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Engineer-In-Training Larry Busch and Executive Director of
Development Brian James who introduced this item stating that Public Warks received a
request to consider installing a stop sign on Oak Valley at Mesa Verde due to the volume and
speed of traffic in the Mesa Oaks Subdivision. The Transportation Safety Advisory
Commission unanimously approved the addition of this stop sign at the October 3, 2013
meeting due to the multiple complaints regarding speed in the area over the years.
The recommendation that staff made to the Transportation Safety Advisory Commission was
to decline the request for the mid-block stop sign due to safety concerns and a false sense of
security for pedestrians. The Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, section
2B.05 Stop Sign Applications, indicates that the use of a stop sign should not be used for
speed control. Stop signs are traffic control devices not speed control devices.
Staff recommends that City Council does not approve the Ordinance adding a stop sign mid-
block on Oak Valley, but instead install a speed hump. Staff also recommends holding a
meeting with residents of both neighborhoods to discuss the issue of speeding. While a speed
hump may help in this location, it may also lead to increased speeding in other areas of the
neighborhood as drivers find alternate routes to bypass this area. Staff will work with
residents to raise awareness of the issue as most drivers in this area are likely to be residents
of both neighborhoods.
Action requested by Council is to deny the request of installing stop signs. Staff does
recommend the installation of a speed hump on Oak Valley to deter speeding in the
neighborhood.
Mr. Busch and Mr. James answered questions from Council. Mayor Carpenter and Council
provided their comments. It was the consensus of Council to take no action on this item this
evening, have staff meet with the neighbors and Home Owners Association and refer this
back to the Transportation Safety Advisory Committee in 90 days. No action was taken on
the Ordinance.

Mayor Carpenter opened the public hearing and recognized the following who spoke;
• Mr. Ed McNew, applicant's Engineer, gave a presentation about the rezoning of the
Sanders Subdivision also know as A-Ok Storage. He stated the rezoning request is to
allow the current RV storage to be relocated to the rear of the property, freeing up the
moxe valuable property on FM 3009 for a higher and better use. This will also allow a
road to be built to grant access to the back of the property and fox the property
subdivided and sold for commercial use. A regional detention pond will be built on
the rear of the property that is Iarge enough to accommodate the runoff for the entire
property.
As no one else spoke, Mayor Carpenter closed the public hearing and called for Council
comments. Ms. Wood and Mr. McNew answered and addressed Council questions.
Mayor Carpenter recognized Councilmember Verinder who requested clarification on the
Gutierrez property easement that dead ends into the back of the property. City Attorney

be a private matter of discussion and agreement between the two property owners in terms of
what the rights of each property owner would be.
