There were none to report. #4 BOA Actions: There was no report. #5 Citizen's Input Other Than Agenda Items: There were none. #6 Consider and Make Recommendation: On a request from Don McCrary & Associates for final plat approval of the Wynn Brood Subdivision (Besch Property Subdivision. . Steve Simonson stated that portion of the plat being platted would not affect where the school is being planned. The plat is layout in two sheets, the parkland fees have been paid, the 100 year flood plain statement is mentioned, lots are listed as variable width easements. The landowners are so noted, there are two outlets tying into the Cibolo area. Gary Wallace stated that there is one item on the checklist that is being shown incomplete, "the designation, location of non-access easements". Steve Simonson explained that there would be a dedication of 15' (street widening) for the city, and wasn't sure if the Commission wanted it shown at this time. Steve added, that if the Commission wants the l' non-access easement indicated, it would be indicated on the Mylar's brought in for recordation. . At this time, Mr. Aiken stated that the approval of the plat this evening is subject to the final reading on the zoning issue before the city council for this property. So any scrivener errors, could be corrected between now and the final approval on the zoning issue. 3 . . . Mr. Aiken stated that at this time, he would like to report on some items of interest; the School has approved the acquisition of the site subject to the community's approval of a specific use permit, which would allow the school. The school has also made a request for additional land (approximately 4-lots, numbers 1-5 would be incorporated in the school property), that will be used for activity parking. Mr. Aiken stated that the builder (Pulte) did not mine scarifying the additional four lots. Mr. Aiken stated that he has advised the school that the development would go ahead with the developments final plat. If and when the school receives the go ahead and obtains the specific use permit, then the only thing necessary would be the corrected action (housekeeping work) of amending the final plat. Mr. Aiken explained that he has advised the School district that the development would like to finalize, the first platting phase, master plan and zoning issue before they come in asking, "this is where we would like to fit in". Gary Wallace stated that if there is an existing l' non-access easement on the other side, he believes there should be a l' non-access along Green Valley Road. Mr. Aiken stated he didn't have a problem with providing the l' non-access easement. Ernie Evans mentioned that currently Lot 5, Blk. 2 is not labeled. He believes the lot is a proposed street if the school issue becomes part of the development. If not, are we to assume it would be a proposed lot; it would be one or the other, however, at this time it is not labeled. Ernie Evans called attention to the notes stating that lots in Block 5 and 3 are not 55' frontage lots. Mr. Aiken explained that this particular area was somewhat restricted and that these 6 or eight lots do have 55' of width, however do not have the full 110' of depth. This would be the only area where this will occur, and only because of the restriction caused 4 . . . by the drainage way that is incorporated with the tree line on the property below the development. Mr. Aiken reported that he was able to regain the second connection, with Rolling Brook tying into the Cibolo development. With no further discussion, Gary Wallace moved to approve the request from Don McCrary & Associates for final plat approval of the Wynn Brood Subdivision (Besch Property Subdivision, contingent upon the approval of the zoning request by City Council and the inclusion of the non-access easement along Green Valley Road. William Sommers seconded the motion. With a vote being called, the motion was approved. #7 Consider and Make Recommendation: Association, Inc. for variance to the sign ordinance. On a request from Ashley Place Ernie Evans reported that item #7 has been withdrawn from the agenda. Letter submitted to the Planning office withdrew the item. #8 Consider and Take Appropriate Action: On a request from M. W. Cude Engineers for Preliminary Plat approval of Schertz Industrial Park, FM 3009 and Doerr Lane. Steve Simonson stated that even though this plat is preliminary, the Commission has seen this request in various forms before. The development is at the end of the Schertz city limits going northwest toward Garden Ridge, on the other side of the Cal-Tex property. The property goes from FM3009 to Doerr Lane; the property will have a through street, across the entire property. Steve added that the development has also added lots, since the last submittal, and the development is in an industrial zoned area. The plat also has the flood plain statement, and looking at sheet two and three you will 5 . . . notice where the sewer line ends, indicated at Block 1 and 2, lots 5 & 7. The remainder of the lots is on a septic system. Ernie Evans noted that on page two of two the plat shows that the property abutting the FM3009 area has a l' non-access easement shown, which indicates that the entry ways are off of the new street being built" Bell North Drive". With no further discussion, Gary Wallace moved to approve the request from M. W. Cude Engineers for Preliminary Plat approval of Schertz Industrial Park, FM 3009 and Doerr Lane. Keith Van Dine seconded the motion. With a vote being called, the motion was approved. #9 Consider and Take Appropriate Action: On a request from Technos, Inc. for Site Plan Approval of proposed Technos building adjacent existing building, Tri- County Business & Industrial Park. Steve Simonson stated that proposed building is at the back of the existing Technos building that actually would have access from "Pipestone". The parking is shown at the front of the building off of "Pipestone". The hand i-cap parking, lighting, landscaping is shown and there will be on sign on the building. Steve Simonson also indicated that the plat shows no fencing is planned for the facility. Joyce Briscoe noted that the plat indicates that the landscape watering would be maintained by hand held hose, and believes that where no irrigation system is used, the landscaping promptly dies. Joyce Briscoe stated that it sure would be nice, "to have an irrigation system". Tony Moreno asked what is the square footage or the size of the building footprint and was advised that it is 60' x 175' with a 40' x 75' office area. 6 . . . Gary Wallace asked for clarification on the landscape notation; "2" caliber trees per code at not more than 50"'. Does the statement mean that there would be 2" trees at 50' intervals? Gary stated that code requires 4" DBH per 50', and that in his opinion the statement is not clear. At this time, Gary was advised that code would be followed that apparently, the ordinance was read incorrectly. If the ordinance requirement calls for 4"DBH per 50' that is what will be followed. With no further discussion, Keith Van Dine moved to approve the request from Technos, Inc. for Site Plan Approval of proposed Technos building adjacent existing building, Tri- County Business & Industrial Park, and adhere to the code as it is written in respect to the tree ordinance to use 4" DBH every 50'. Tony Moreno seconded the motion. With a vote being called, the motion was approved. #10 General Discussion: Tonv Moreno: Tony had no comments. Keith Van Dine: Keith apologized for his tardiness. Keith also reported that the "frontier" is building up. The "frontier" being his area toward IH10, lots of mobile homes moving in the area is everyone following procedure? Keith mentioned that Marion residents are quite upset with water bills. When the water bills triple in one month, there is cause for concern, and angry citizens. Gary Wallace: Gary had no comments 7 . . . Joyce Briscoe: Joyce complemented everyone that worked on the city's water plan; " its nice living in a city that will have water". William Sommers: William had no comments. Ken Greenwald: Ken commented on how nice the "Business Appreciation Dinner" had been and if you missed it, you missed a good time. The entertainment for the evening "Dennis, Cowboy Poet" did his usual "bang up job", and there was lots of good food. Ken reported that the water project is moving along, with the plan there will be enough water until the 2030. Ken explained that the time limit on the (land) leases vary, most of the leases are for 1 0 to 20 years with automatic renewal. The goal is to eventually buy the land and lease the land back. Ken mentioned that the Schertz/Seguin Local Government Corp. will give the surrounding communities one more chance, not to join the corporation, but the opportunity to start their own corporation. Steve Simonson: Steve reported that everything is moving along well in the city. He mentioned that SAFES EMS has hired 9 new employees, as authorized by City Council and is working well. A new fire truck has been bought and should be arriving in the next 30 days. Ernie Evans: Ernie reported that a very large structure has been moved into the Jahns property. Ernie also reminded everyone about the APA Conference in Dallas, for those who are attending all the reservation have been made. 8 . . . #11 Adjournment: Keith Van Dine moved to adjourn the meeting.
