SPECIAL SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 16, 1979
The Schertz City Council convened in Special Session, Monday, April 16, 1979
at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers, 1400 Live Oak Road with the following
members present: Mayor Robert C. Bueker, presiding; Mayor Pro Tem Earl W.
Sawyer; Richard L. Howe,; Gail Hyatt; Walter F. Schneider and Jack Stomackin, Sr.
Staff present: City Manager Walter W. Hill, Jr.; City Secretary June G. Krause,
Asst. City Manager Hal Baldwin and Building Official Ron Garrison.
#1 PUBLIC HEARING: Mayor Bueker opened the public hearing by explaining
that the purpose was to allow citizens to be heard
on two Board of Adjustment Cases.
BOA Case #6 is a request by Mr. Coy Simmons for a special exception to the
Zoning Ordinance 74-S-48, Article I, Section 3.1, Schedule of Heights and
Area Regulations. This exception would allow Mr. Simmons to proceed with the
development of a portion of the proposed Oak Forest Unit #3, changing to a
lot size of 5000 square feet for garden homes.
BOA Case #7 is also a request by Mr. Simmons for a special exception to the
same section of the zoning ordinance, to subdivide and utilize lots in pro-
posed Oak Forest Unit #4. Presently these lots qualify in area size but
lack sufficient depth required by the ordinance.

Mayor Bueker then opened the discussion to the approximately 15 citizens
present.
None of the citizens wished to speak for or against Case #6.
Case #7: Mr. Fred Martin of 4300 Lazy Oak Lane, said he was definitely
against this request to change the configuration of the lot sizes, primarily
because he did not want this area to be rezoned.
Mr. Simmons explained this was not a rezoning request, that the area in
question was already zoned residential. He was merely asking for a variance
in lot shape.
Don Scott, 4400 Lazy Oak Lane, Craig Pearce of 4309 Shady Oak, Bob Booth
of 4212 Shady Oak and Clarence Banks 4305 Shady Oak all expressed concern
regarding the unsolved drainage problems in the area and the potential
flooding.
On being questioned by Council on the flooding, Mr. Craig Holmig (Mr. Simmons
engineer) said that engineering work would have to be done and that they
would make sure they did not make the flooding worse.
Mr. Simmons said that he had given 75' of land for drainage easements and that
some of the water problems has been on the entrance caused by inadequate
culverts. But the Highway Department and the City had worked diligently
to alleviate this problem. Of course the culverts do get dammed with
debris and that he had offered to give the City additional easements to
help alleviate the problem.

#2 ACTION CONSIDERATION:
A. BOA Case #6 - special exception to the zoning ordinance to allow
the developer to proceed with the development of a portion of the proposed
Oak Forest Unit #3 with 5000 square foot lot sizes for garden homes.
After Council discussion, Mr. Schneider moved to grant the zoning variance

Mr. Stomackin.
NAYS: Mr. Howe and Mr. Sawyer.
B. BOA Case #7 - request for special exception to the zoning ordinance to
allow the developer to subdivide and utilitze lots in proposed Oak Forest
Unit #4 with a 100 foot depth size.

particular area is corrected and a little more specifics come up on the
drainage problem in that area. Mr. Sawyer seconded the motion which
carried with the following vote:
AYES: Mr. Howe, Mrs. Hyatt, Mr. Schneider and Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Stomackin.

Mayor Bueker then explained that according to the City Code, the Board of
Adjustments must have a majority or a 4 to 1 affirmative vote; therefore

for the Council and citizens to move to the Conference
Room for Workshop Session.
