Mr. Cox presented this item by stating that the Applicant is proposing to develop The Reserve at Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission August 27, 2014 Page 1 of 7 Schertz II which is approximately 103 acres and is zoned Residential Agriculture (RA). The subdivision is proposed to develop in four (4) phases with 127 single family residential lots. A master plan for this site was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on April 9, 2014. According to UDC Sec. 21.12.6.F.2 major amendments require resubmittal and approval of a new master plan application. The proposed master plan has increased the total number of lots from 121 to 127. The increase in density with the addition of these six (6) lots constitutes a major amendment. This development is designed to have three (3) points of access via Ivy Jet through the adjacent subdivision The Reserve at Schertz via N. Graytown Road, and two points of access from Boenig Drive. This site is serviced through 8" water lines and 8" sewer lines that will be extended throughout the subdivision. Sewer service will be provided by the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) who holds the certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) for this site. Water service will be provided by the City of Schertz. The applicant will be responsible for complying with Unified Development Code (UDC), Section 21.9.9 Tree Preservation and Mitigation at the final plat. The Developer has started discussion with Staff for an agreement for pump and haul. Mr. James stated that a three party agreement (with the Developer, the City and SARA) will allow him a certain number of lots and a time frame to do a pump and haul for a temporary period while the right of way is acquired by SARA. Mr. Cox stated that the Applicant will be responsible for all drainage associated with the subject property, and for compliance with the Storm Water Ordinance. Two detention basins are proposed to intercept storm water before it leaves the development. The site naturally drains to the FEMA 100 -year floodplain that is located between the site and Graytown Road. Sidewalks, hike and bike trails will be required along both sides of all streets throughout the subdivision and along Lazar Parkway, N. Graytown Road and Boenig Drive. The subject property is affected by the additional design requirements of the UDC, Section 21.14.3 along Lazar Parkway and N. Graytown Road to include landscaping buffers and screening. Landscape buffer lots have been provided adjacent to N. Graytown Road and Lazar Parkway. All streets will be developed to City of Schertz specifications including sidewalks and improvements. The development is located adjacent to Graytown Road, Boeing Drive and the proposed Lazar Parkway. Rough proportionality will be reviewed with each plat submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The applicant has indicated on the master plan that the intersection of Largoza Avenue and Lazar Parkway will be constructed to the ultimate design of Lazar Parkway at the time of platting for Unit 4. Staff will review the design of the intersection with Unit 4 civil construction plans, to ensure that the proposed intersection will tie into the future construction of Lazar Parkway. The design will assist in staff's determination and recommendation on the rough proportionality request for this intersection at the time of platting. Staff recommends approval of the Master Development Plan as submitted. Mr. Dahle asked if we have an agreement with San Antonio on the Master Thoroughfare Plan, Mr. James stated that we do not have an agreement with San Antonio, and will coordinate the infrastructure with San Antonio. Mr. Crawford asked if the City has a liability with the pump and haul. Mr. James stated that the developer will enter into an agreement with SARA and the City and require them to put in monies in escrow in case something happens. Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission August 27, 2014 Page 2 of 7 Discussion followed between Staff and the Commission. Mr. Dahle moved to approve this item as presented.

Mr. Cox presented this item by stating that the Applicant is proposing to develop The Reserve at Schertz II which is approximately 103 acres that is zoned Residential Agriculture (RA). The subdivision is proposed to develop in four (4) phases with 127 single family residential lots. The applicant is seeking approval of a waiver, pursuant to Section 21.12.15, from Section 21.4.15.E.1 regarding the construction of public infrastructure at the Reserve at Schertz 11 Subdivision. The subject property is currently undeveloped and is located on Boenig Drive approximate 200 feet west of street Laura Heights adjacent to the Laura Heights Estates subdivisions. The proposed subdivision is located adjacent to Graytown Road, Boeing Drive and the proposed Lazar Parkway. The City's Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) designates a proposed north /south collector identified as Lazar Parkway (86' ROW) that stretches from Lower Seguin Road to IH 10. A portion of the proposed thoroughfare that is adjacent to the subject property is proposed to be dedicated at the time of platting for each Unit of this subdivision. No portion of Lazar Parkway to the south has been constructed due to rough proportionality, although the ROW has been dedicated. The MTP also proposes an expansion of the existing Graytown Road (60' ROW) to an 86' ROW. The applicant is providing the 13' dedication for Graytown Road which is proposed to be dedicated at the time of platting for each Unit of this subdivision. Boenig Road is a City street not identified on the MTP and would be considered a collector street. In accordance with the UDC, a collector street in the City is a 60' ROW with 42 feet of pavement which includes curb and gutters. The Boenig Road ROW is currently sub - standard. The applicant is proposing to provide variable width ROW dedication along Boenig Drive adjacent to the subject property. The variable width dedication includes 10' ROW dedication along the majority of Boenig Drive with the exception of the curve areas along Boenig Drive where the dedication varies. In order to determine if the required improvements are roughly proportional, Staff and the applicant have agreed to utilize the City of San Antonio's methodology for evaluating rough proportionality. Staff recommends approval of the waiver request for The Reserve at Schertz II subdivision, Unit 1 based on the calculations provided by the applicant for rough proportionality. The developer will be dedicating the necessary right -of -way. Mr. Dahle asked about the work sheet calculations, leaving $22,800 on the table. Mr. James stated that we do not have an ordinance and this may come in over or under the amounts calculated. Mr. Dahle stated that we do not have the proper ordinance in place to properly collect monies for the citizens.
