I. South side of Randolph AFB generates majority of traffic on the military

exhorbitant through developed commercial areas.

in the study. City comprehensive plans establish land use patterns. Study is to be con-
fined to traffic thoroughfare elements only.

part of the city's comprehensive plan.

Mr. Von Scheele, developer of properties in the city, posed a problem of drainage in
the Kramer. Seiler and Veazey tracts. He requested the city acquire right-of-way
through these properties to allow deepening of existing ditches and construction of
new ditches to accommodate proper drainage. Mr. Cross, city engineer. recommended
ditching across the Hoover Edwards property as the best solution and will proceed on
that basis. Mr. Von Scheele also requested a change be effected in the subdivision
ordinance to allow construction of curbing parallel with that of San Antonio. The
San Antonio ordinance allows setting of the curb base upon the first layer of road base
instead of on the sub grade. Mr. Cross could see no purpose in the change at this time
but ,.Jill confer ,nth contractors and San Antonio to make determination.

Minutes of previous meetings held on April 13, A oril 20 and April 27, 1972 wer(~ read
and rpproved without change. Mr. Graham stated the May 4 agenda did not contain specific
designation of discussion on Mr. Riedel's permit authorization from the Texas Water
QU8lity Board.
MRyor Richard, at this point, relinqufshed his chair and Hayor ProTem Koym assumed charge
of the meeting. Mayor Richard took the floor to provide answers to questions posed by
Councilman Graham in a telegram received April 28. Mayor Richard stated his absence from
the April 27 meeting was due to attendance at another city function as announced at the
April 20 meeting. Answer to his dental clinic not beinG connected to city sewer was that
tap fee had been paid for some years and he posed no objection to immcctiate conneetion.
Answer to annexing property in front of Lone Oak was that (I) this property is in the hands
of several parties and consent would have to be obtained by majority. This posed no
problem. (2) The property was purposely withheld from 3ymexation because of indecisio~.
on widening of FM 78 and the city could end up with added expense of having to purchase
commercial frontage property for F}ff 78 widening if property was annexed. He posed to
object~on to annexation at this time and item will be placed on May 18 agenda.
As a separate item, the Jonas property, owned by Mayor Richard and Mr. Riedel was discussed
as property to be annexed. Mayor Richard suggested annexation immediately and requested
field notes be drawn for petition. Mr. Riedel stated he would be agreeable to the
annexation. Mayor Richard then reassumed control of the meeting.
Mr. Riedel then took the floor and presented t.he follm-ring issues:: (1) All actions
concernin'; FH 78 (widening ann. parallel parking) wero taken by the council without any
collabor~tion with businessmen in the area affected (2) that as far back as 1964, he
was forced to dig a private well for the Palm Shopping Center before the city would
consider extending city water service to the Shoppin~ Center (3) That Mr. Jerome Mueller,
an employee of Mr. Riedel's, has submitted a petition for annexation on Sent. 2, 19?0
and withdrew the petition in February 1971 because no action had been taken (4) that
a council member had proposal for acquiring his water system at a price of $300.00 which
was an insult to his intelli~ence and emphasized the high-handed methods of city operation.
96
Mr. Riedel then discussed his sewer and water operation in the trailer park, stating that
he had no objection to connecting with the city sewer system but his collection system
was laid out in such a manner that a lift station would have to be provided to serve the
trailer nark. Mayor Richard stated that a lift station would be provided and asked Mr.
Riedel if the City F.ngineer could make an insoection of the system within the next week
to ascertain reouirements. y~. Riedel gave consent. Mr. Riedel then discussed the ~railer
park water syst~m, stating the system was worth $35,000.00 and that if the city was serious
about purchasing his system that this would be a negotiable price. Mayor Richard. asked
again if Mr. Riedel would actually consider $35,000.00 as a negotiable price for the trailer
park water system. Mr. Riedel reaffirmed the price quotation.
,

Mayor Richard then asked ci~y council members to consider a city position of Mr. Riedel's

MINUTES OF THE MEETING
OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SCHERTZ
TEXAS, HELD ON AUGUST 10,1972
An executive session of the City Council was held on August 10,1972 at 7:30 PM in the City
Hall. Councilmen in attendance were: Mr. Raymond G. Koym, Mr. Robert E. Schwartz, Mr.
Leon R. Chambless and Mr. Hugh G. Sandifer.
Mr. Harry Silverman, Project Coordinator for the Randolph Sub-Region Traffic Thoroughfare
Study briefed members on finalization of the plan and the requirement for Schertz to solid-
ify their position relating to traffic flow east-west through Schertz. He stated the plan
contains provision for wither widening of FM 78 or a by-pass route. City Administrator read
the findings of the special committee and the three proposals suggested by this group. Dis-
cussion was held on a short-by-pass route coming through Rittiman Addition, Church St. and
rejoining FM 78 west of Live Oak Road; thereby creating a commercial island between two laneE
of traffic moving eastward on the by-pass route and two lanes moving westward on the present
FM 78. Additionally, FM 1518 is to be realigned to provide a new bridge connection with
Curtiss Ave. and a turn-off lane from FM 78 to an underpass to be aligned with the existing
underpass at the S.P. RR tracks. Recommendation to Mr. Silverman by the council was to leaVE
the two proposals of FM 78 widening and alternate by-pass route in the plan with the addition
that within a period of six-months, positive commitment on which route is to be taken will
be forthcoming from the council for insertion in the plan. The time limitation will provide
the Chamber of Commerce sufficient review of alternatives and time for their submission of
a selected route to the council.
The Graham Burris Bavarian Village development was discussed in relation to the construction
of the Lone Star Ice House on Pecan and Oak St. Problem exists in having a street cut made
on Oak St. to accommodate sewage or to have sewage directed to the west where an extension
of the sewage'main northward through Bavarian Village is planned. Letter to Mr. Burris was
proposed requesting he prepare and forward a plat, street layout, drainage layout, and water
and sewer layout of the project area to Zoning and Planning for consideration prior to is-
suance of any permit.
Mr. Gaddis, City Engineer, reviewed the subdivision ordinance and noted following changes
that should be made: Section 18-2, change to desired reading on alleys to easements. List
easements as telephone and electric easements. Make standard location for water on the north
side of streets behind the curb line. Section 19-1, have all electric lines located on the
north and west side and telephone lines on the south and east sides. The Section relating
to fire hydrants should include a shutoff valve on all hydrants. Section on drainage should
be reworded to clarify flooding as it affects building permit authorization. Section A - 19
should have water and sewer added to the engineering review and approval. Section 23D(1)
should have concrete sewer pipe deleted. Page 21, Para c should have soil cement base delet-
ed. Page 26 - street standards should be changed to read 220 1b asphalt and 12" base for
major thoroughfare, 190 lb asphalt and 10" base for secondary thoroughfare, and 165 lb as-
phalt and 8" base for minor streets. Item 3 of page 26 should have double surface treatment
of road surfacing eliminated.
Drainage was discussed. Mr. Gaddis was asked to get with Mr. Cross on the Aero St. drain-
age bridge requirement and to make additional engineering analysis of carrying total drain-
age through the city in the natural flow channel. Mr. Gaddis indicated. initial study re-
vealed monies expended for the proposed diversionary canal should be utilized for ~ening
the present channel. If the present channel is selected as the route for carrying all
drainage, work should he started from the low point to a point at the north end of the high
school property. All drainage requirements above that line would be the responsibility of
developers.
Live Oak Road project was also discussed and dissatisfaction expressed over the lag in con-
struction. Mr. Gaddis was asked to get in touch with Mr. Cross on the project to determine
the extent of engineering completion. A letter to Mr. Cross was suggested inviting Mr. Cross
136
to the August 17 council meeting and to have available the Austin Paving contract, a set of
engineering plans, and a listing of engineering work accomplished to date.
Chief Schoonover presented Mr. Robert M. Registar to council members as a Police Patrolman
replacement for Patrolman Mosher. Chief Schoonover requested that, if favorable conside-
ration was given to the hiring of Mr. Registar, the need for Mr. Registar's services was
immediate. Mayor Graham then called for special convened session of the council to con-
sider ;the hire of Mr. Registar. Action was completed by special session recorded in the
Legal Minutes.
