were 9 notices mailed to surrounding property owners on September 12, 2013. As of this date,

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Sedona, Unit 1 final plat on October 10, 2007,
and a final residential replat for the Crossvine Subdivision Module 1, Phase I on July 25, 2012.
The applicant is purposing this replat to reconfigure Lot 1, Block 15 and a portion of the platted
right -of -way, and eliminate the remaining portions of landscape Lot 1, Block 10 of the Sedona,
Unit 1 final plat in order to achieve right -of -way alignment and adjust landscape lots for the right -
of -way extension. This extension of Longleaf Parkway provides access to the Crossvine Amenity
Center as well as the City of Schertz future park/open space.
In accordance with UDC, Sec. 21.14.1 Transportation islands in road right -of -way are subject to
review and recommendation by the City of Schertz Transportation Safety Advisory Commission
(TSAC). TSAC met on August 7, 2013 to discuss and make a recommendation on the roadway
island on the Longleaf Parkway extension. They recommended approval of the roadway island on
the Longleaf Parkway extension with the condition that parking will be prohibited around the
island and along the curb of the roadway on the right- of-way extension.
The proposed replat is consistent with all applicable zoning requirements for the property,
ordinances, and regulations of the City. It has been reviewed with no objections by the City
Engineer, Public Works, Parks, Inspections, Fire and Police. Staff recommends approval.
There being no one to speak, Mr. Evans closed the Public Hearing at 6:12 P.M.
Mr. Rumfelt asked if we are extending Longleaf and does it connect with Schnebly. Mr. Malone
answered yes. Mr. Rumfelt asked about TSAC's recommended approval with the condition that
no parking be allowed around the island, and questioned who decides that there is no parking. Ms.
