SPECIAL SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 28, 1979
The Schertz City Council met in Special Session, Tuesday, August 28, 1979 at
7:00 P.M. in the Conference Room of the Municipal Complex, 1400 Live Oak Road
with the following members present: Mayor Robert C. Bueker, presiding; Richard
L. Howe; Gail Hyatt; Earl W. Sawyer and Jack M. Stomakcin, Sr. Staff present:
Acting City Manager Hal Baldwin, City Secretary June Krause and City Inspector
Bill Hamm.
#1 JOINT MEETING WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Mayor Bueker
explained the
purpose of the joint meeting was to discuss cluster versus strip commercial
zoning, specifically along FM 3009.
Mr. Aguilar, Chairman of the P&Z Commission, reiterated the Commission1s
reasoning behind their recommendation to the City Council. He said that
after citizens from Greenfield met with them, they went back and made the
zoning along FM 3009 more restrictive, by requiring a special use permit
before anyone could put in a so-called undesirable type business.
Mr. Sharpe, Commission member, said that they felt if the zoning was not
controlled on FM 3009, it would turn into another Pat Booker Road.
After further discussion, Mr. Howe said that his motion was misunderstood
at the last City Council Meeting. He intended his motion to only withdraw
the commercial zoning from Webster back to Elbel Road - not to within 350'
of FM 78 as interpreted by everyone else.
Mayor Bueker declared the joint meeting closed at 8:05 P.M. and announced
the City Council would recess for an Executive Session under Article 6252-17
Vernons Texas Civil Statutes, Section 2 (g).
The Special Session was reconvened at 9:08 P.M. with the Mayor asking to move
immediately to Item No.4 on the agenda.
