ccspecwksp 07-12-2000 . SPECIAL WORKSHOP SESSION OF THE SCHERTZ CITY COUNCIL JULY 12, 2000 The Schertz City Council convened in Special Workshop Session on Wednesday, July 12, 2000 at 7:00 p.m. in the Municipal Complex Council Chambers, 1400 Schertz Parkway, Schertz, Texas. Those present were as follows: Mayor Hal Baldwin, presiding; Councilmembers Ken Greenwald, Joe Potempa; Norma Head; and Glyn Williams. Those absent: Reginna Agee. Staff present were City Manager Kerry Sweatt and Dolores Butler, Deputy City Secretary. Mayor Baldwin stated that this workshop meeting is being combined with the first regular meeting, due to the first Monday falling on the July 4th holiday and asked everyone to rise and join him in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Mr. Sweatt noted that in City Attorney Michael Spain's absence Connie Lock is here representing the firm. #1 HEARING OF RESIDENTS No one had signed up to speak on anything other than agenda items. . #2 PUBLIC HEARING: To receive citizen comments on a request from Jonas Wood Ltd. To rezone 87.279 acres from General Business (GB) and Single-Family Residential District (R-2) to Garden Home District (R-5) and Single-Family Residential District (R-2). Mr. Sweatt noted this is a public hearing request for rezoning 87.279 acres of land along Schertz Parkway between Maske Road and the Ashley Park Subdivision. Public hearings were held on the request. Fourteen property owners were sent notice of the pending hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) and ultimately, before the City Council. Three notices were received by P&Z; two in favor and one opposed. P&Z recommended that 9.47 acres of the current property zoned General Business be rezoned to R-5 and that 14.24 acres of the property currently zoned as R-2 be rezoned as R-5 and that 18.26 acres currently zoned GB be rezoned to R-2; leaving the remainder of the property zoned R-2, leaving the total acreage on that property zoned R-2 of 63.57 acres. P&Z recommended approval of these rezoning requests. . Larry Aiken, developer, representing Jonas Wood stated their intention that the 70' lots in the very heavily wooded areas would be $200,000 and up range. The back area is very heavily forested and will be developed very similar to earlier sections of Greenshire with the wooded greenbelt down through the middle. There will be a very nice community package with a pool, cabana, play-scape, etc. The garden home section is conceptionalized as a village concept that is very pedestrian friendly and will utilize a smaller lot with more upscaled product in the mid $150's. They will stress larger front porches and meandering sidewalks. That section will have its own park with a bandstand/gazebo effect. -235- . No residents will be more than 600' from that park. Along the 2400 feet of frontage on Schertz Parkway there was about one million-two hundred thousand square feet of general business overlay. It was determined early on that with commercial already being developed on the north side of Schertz Parkway that we wanted to downgrade that square footage, trading off the commercial for the building concept. Jan Marshall asked for an explanation of what will be done with the frontage on Schertz Parkway. Mr. Aiken stated that they are proposing to do away with the 500' deep and 2400' long general business overlay on Schertz Parkway, developing the village concept with masonry walls and two monumented entries. Mr. Potempa asked what influenced getting rid of general business. Mr. Aiken stated that they observed there is still some commercial along FM 3009 that is yet to be absorbed and a fairly large strip on either side of Woodland Oaks back to Maske Road is all being left commercial. The particular corner at Maske Road and Schertz Parkway isn't "on the way home" and doesn't lend itself to commercial use. . Mayor Baldwin asked if this is a gated community, to which Mr. Aiken stated it is not. Mr. Williams inquired what would happen when this is all developed and the builder is long-gone and Schertz Parkway is widened and traffic volume is like it is on FM 3009 today, how are you going to kill the noise, or will we end up with a brick wall like we have on FM 3009. Mr. Aiken stated they have a 25' landscape easement and he has a fellow in Austin who is a landscape architect he is talking too. Albert Pena asked where the garden homes are located on the design. Mr. Aiken said that Wilshire is developing a special product for this. This isn't what you would think of as a garden home in the sense of a free-standing town home or garden apartment. These homes wi II have large front porches with varied setbacks in the front yards and very pedestrian-friendly sort of thing but upscaled. The idea is for two-person working couple who doesn't have time to maintain a large yard. With no further questions, Mayor Baldwin closed the public hearing. . #3 ORDINANCE: Consider and take action on first reading of Ordinance rezoning 87.279 acres from GB and R-2 to R-5 and R-2. Mayor Baldwin introduced an ordinance and read the caption as follows: -236- . AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS AMENDING THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) ORDINANCE NO. 96-S-28 BY REZONING APPROXIMATELY 41.97 ACRES OUR OF GUADALUPE COUNTY AND REFLECTING SUCH CHANGES ON CERTAIN REZONING MAPS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHERTZ UDC ORDINANCE. Mayor Baldwin asked for a motion. Mr. Greenwald moved to approve the first reading of an ordinance amending the Unified Development Code Ordinance No. 96-S-28 by rezoning approximately 41.97 acres out of Guadalupe County and reflecting such changes on certain zoning maps in accordance with the Schertz UDC Ordinance. Mr. Potempa seconded the motion. At this time the vote was taken with the following results: AYES: Councilmembers Potempa, Williams, Greenwald and Head NAYS: None . #4. PUBLIC HEARING: To receive citizen comments on a request from Ollie and Dereda Burkett to rezone 14.57 acres from Single-Family Dwelling District (R-2) to Garden Home District (R-5). Mr. Sweatt noted this request is to rezone 14.57 acres located east of Schertz Parkway on the north side of Live Oak Road from Single-Family Dwelling District (R-2) to Garden Home District (R-5). P&Z received a request and notices were mailed to property owners within the 200' area. Ten letters were sent and one was received in opposition. P&Z held a public hearing and heard testimony and ended up not making a recommendation to City Council because there were three votes for and three votes against. This request is being sent to Council with no recommendation. Mrs. Burkett stated Ollie has been working on this and chose to have bypass surgery (is doing fine) and though she hasn't been very involved, will try to answer any questions. Albert Pena stated his concern was that the area be developed with something that looks nice and also, the fact that plans are to place 60+ 50'x100' lots on 14 acres and that seems to be pretty congested. Another concern is drainage. . Don McCrary, engineer for the project stated that the back part of the property is going to be left as a greenbelt/park area, so that will take the drainage and it will be handled with drainage structures in the subdivision. -237- . Mayor Baldwin's understanding is that the drainage will come through the subdivision and out on Live Oak Road, and at that point, goes back towards Schertz Parkway. Evelyn Niland was also very concerned with the drainage problem. She also wanted to know who the builder is and will they follow the developer's plan for the property. Mayor Baldwin said the Tax Increment Financing Corporation was going to deal with the drainage on Schertz Parkway; however the City has lost Guadalupe County as a partner (the school district dropped out earlier) so the City has to come up with a solution and that is being looked at. Mr. Aiken said when the final plat is done on each section, there will be a recorded set of deed restrictions filed for record. . Mrs. Niland wanted to know who the builder is. Mr. Aiken said it would be Wilshire or possible Japhet.... it wouldn't be a K&B or CenTex. Mayor Baldwin asked what the. price. range in this subdivision would be. Mr. Aiken said they are looking at probably $130's to $150's with a little less square footage (approximately 1200 to 1600 square feet). The intent is to provide a product that is nice but not a lot of maintenance. There will be a common area that will incorporate a pool and two large sections around behind that will be undisturbed. Mrs. Head asked how wide the greenbelts are. Mr. Aiken stated he thought they were about 2-3/4 acres wide. Mr. Pena asked if there would be two-story homes? Mr. Aikens said there would probably be a mix of ones and twos. Two-stories are practical now-a-day because of the cost of construction, particularly on a small lot. Mr. Potempa asked if our subdivision ordinance overrides deed restrictions. Mr. Sweatt said that deed restrictions are not enforced by the City, only by the covenant between the property owner. They can be more restrictive but not less restrictive than City Ordinance. Mr. Williams verified that there will be deed restrictions and mandatory participation in the homeowners association. Mr. Greenwald commented that Planning & Zoning looks at these and if there are any amenities tied to the association, those things are mandatory. . Mr. Phillip Doyle was interested to know what would happen if the economy drops after the builder gets in there and builds 50% of the homes and building stops, would the deed restrictions still have to carry on. -238- . Mr. Aiken stated if the subdivision should be built in stages, the homeowners will still have to maintain the deed restrictions for the entire subdivision at a higher cost than if all properties were developed. Mr. Williams asked for verification regarding Mr. Doyle's question; that if half the homes were developed and sold and half weren't, those half of the homeowners would have a larger assessment; would the covenant be written so that the developer would maintain control of the association? Mr. Aiken said that usually the developer will retain a Declarant and will maintain control of the homeowners association and architectural control board to make sure that everything is moving. Very often, if all lots are sold to a publicly trained homebuilder such as a Wilshire, they will be put in control of the architectural control committee to control their own destiny. Mr. Williams, confirming the answer to Mr. Doyle's question, asked if either the developer or the person who bought the lots will still maintain the subdivision so that not just 50% of homeowners would be paying to maintain amenities for the undeveloped property. Mr. Aiken said yes, up to a certain point. The Declarant usually maintains Class B voting rights. At 75%, the homeowners take over the association. . Mr. Doyle stated he is on the other side of the greenbelt and he asked about an entryway, would it be downscaled? Mr. Aiken said that there will some type of entry feature and fencing along Live Oak Road and there will be privacy fencing around the entire perimeter. He is wanting something less imposing than just a solid six or eight foot masonry wall, maybe something part masonry and part wrought iron or something that is more open. Mrs. Niland voiced her objection to having houses backed up on Live Oak Road with privacy fencing. There being no further comments or questions, Mayor Baldwin closed the public hearing. #5 ORDINANCE: Consider and take action on first reading of Ordinance rezoning 14.57 acres from R-2 to R-5. . -239- . Mayor Baldwin introduced an ordinance and read the caption as follows: AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS AMENDING THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE (UDC) ORDINANCE NO. 96-S-28 BY REZONING APPROXIMATELY 14.57 ACRES OUT OF GUADALUPE COUNTY AND REFLECTING SUCH CHANGES ON CERTAIN ZONING MAPS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHERTZ UDC ORDINANCE. Mayor Baldwin asked for a motion. Mr. Greenwald moved to approve the first reading of the ordinance rezoning 14.57 acres of land amending the UDC Ordinance 96-S-28. Mr. Williams seconded the motion. At this time the vote was taken with the following results: AYES: Councilmembers Potempa, Williams and Greenwald NAYS: Councilmember Norma Head . At 8:25 p.m. Mayor Baldwin called a five-minute recess. Due to a conflict of interest, Mayor Baldwin excused himself and Mayor Pro-Tem Greenwald called the meeting to order at 8:30 p.m. #6 ORDINANCE: Consider and take action on final reading of ordinance establishing reinvestment zone in Commercial Place Industrial Park. Mr. Sweatt noted that Council has acted on this at one meeting and discussed it at least two workshops. This is establishment of a reinvestment zone in the Schertz Business Park, property owned by the Schertz Development Foundation, lot 7,18 and 22. Property owned by Metro Ambulance is lot 15, 16, and 17. It is the purpose of the City to establish reinvestment zone on a periodic basis that coincide with tax abatement issues. When the Industrial Foundation first acquired and began operating the Schertz Business Park a reinvestment zone was created and some property was developed under tax abatement issues. That later expired with no request pending. Since that time we have had a request for a reinvestment zone so the Industrial Foundation and the Economic Development Commission have reviewed this and are recommending that City Council re-establish the reinvestment zone subject to a letter of tax abatement request. . Mayor Pro-Tem Greenwald introduced an ordinance and read the caption as follows: -240- . AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS ESTABLISHING SCHERTZ REINVESTMENT ZONE NO.2. Mayor Pro- T em Greenwald asked for a motion. Mr. Williams moved that Council approve the final reading of the Ordinance establishing the reinvestment zone NO.2 in Commercial Place Industrial Park. At this time the vote was taken with the following results: AYES: Councilmembers Head, Potempa, Williams and Greenwald. NAYS: None #7 ORDINANCE: Consider and take action on final reading of ordinance regarding Tax Abatement and Tax Abatement Agreement with Metro Ambulance. Mayor Pro-Tem Greenwald introduced an ordinance and read the caption as follows: AN ORDINANCE . BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS, APPROVING A TAX ABATEMENT AND A TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT FOR AND WITH METRO AMBULANCE, INC., A PROPERTY OWNER IN THE CITY OF SCHERTZ. Mr. Sweatt noted this item comes to Council on second reading. We believe this is the epitome of economic development in that a local company is expanding and proposes to expand from their present location in the Schertz Business Park. Earlier creation of the reinvestment zone makes this possible. Metro Ambulance has acquired lots 15, 16, and 17 in the business park. This request has been reviewed by the Economic Development Commission. Because they are a local business and because there are incentives for local businesses, and the total capital investment being proposed, has qualified for a tax abatement of 59.26% for a five (5) year period. Mayor Pro- T em Greenwald asked for a motion. Mr. Potempa moved to approve final reading of an ordinance approving a tax abatement and a tax abatement agreement for and with Metro Ambulance, Inc. A property owner in the City of Schertz. Glyn Williams seconded the motion. . At this time the vote was taken with the following results: AYES: Councilmembers Head, Potempa, and Williams NAYS: None -241- . Mayor Baldwin resumed the chair to preside over the next agenda item. #8 ORDINANCE: Consider and take action on first reading of Ordinance regarding rate increase by Waste Management. Mr. Sweatt stated that as late as this afternoon he had additional conversations with representatives of Waste Management who are here. We have had considerable debate regarding a monitoring fee for the roll-off container fee for a portion of the business and have reached an agreement. The city will be reimbursed removing our objections to the rate increase. Mayor Baldwin introduced an ordinance and read the caption as follows: AN ORDINANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS, PROVIDING THAT THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF SCHERTZ, TEXAS BE AMENDED BY REVISING SECTION 7 Yz -54, EXHIBIT 2, GARBAGE RATE SCHEDULE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE. . Mr. Williams stated he had talked to two representatives during the break and wanted to make sure that his questions of them during the last couple of meetings was not directed at them, but at Waste Management. They are just the messengers, just as he is a messenger to the citizens of Schertz. Mr. Williams moved Council approve the first reading of the ordinance for a rate increase by Waste Management. Mr. Greenwald seconded the motion. At this time a vote was taken with the following results: AYES: Councilmembers Head, Williams and Greenwald NAYS: Councilmember Potempa Due to a possible conflict of interest, Mayor Baldwin excused himself and Mayor Pro-Tem took the chair to preside over the next two agenda items. #9 ORDINANCE: Consider and take action on first reading of Franchise Agreement Ordinance with Grande Communications regarding telecommunications and cable service. . Mr. Sweatt reminded Council this has been discussed at two workshops. This is a bundled service consisting of a proposal to be franchised to use public rights of way for long distance, Internet and cable television service. There are various federal and state regulations that touch portions of this; but the company has proposed to operate a fiber optics system in the City, providing one or all of these types of services. The ordinance has been drawn coordinating with the city -242- . attorney's office and two companies at this stage. We are still fine-tuning this and have a couple of provisions that we are not quite comfortable with but would recommend approval on first reading.
