(ZC #140-97) PUBLIC HEARING: Chairman Evans asked for Staff input. steve Simonson advised that two (2) letters to the surrounding property owners were sent. There were no letters returned. This property is adjacent to the east side of Randolph Air Force Base fence. Steve stated he did receive a call today from a representative for Randolph Air Force Base stating a letter is on its way. The letter will probably express a concern about the noise level in this area next to the fence, due to the fact that it is in the 70 to 75 db level and if this is approved RAFB would like to see a provision that any housing built would have to decrease the noise level to a 65 db level.

Tony Moreno seconded the motion, which carried with a unanimous vote. #6 STATUS OF FINAL PLATS: There were none. #7 CITIZENS: INPUT OTHER THAN AGENDA ITEMS There were none. Chairman Evans stated he has received a request from one of the representatives for item #23 on the agenda. They are asking to be moved up on the agenda as they have a plane to catch to get back to Houston. Ernie asked if there was a Commissioner that had a problem with this item being moved up on the agenda? There were no objections from the Commission. Ernie then asked if any person scheduled to appear on the agenda tonight had a problem with this item being moved up. There were no responses. #23 CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION: Request from GCR Truck Tire Center for Variance to the Sign Ordinance. (PC #315-97) . Steve Simonson stated this is a twofold request as they would like an increase because of where the sign is located, below the grade level of the IH 35 access road, from a 50' allowed sign height to a 75' sign height. The other request is to leave the existing billboard on the premises until such time as the front property is sold for commercial development. David Richmond stated he looked at this sign in going and coming from work. There is a grade level issue but it does not appear that it would effect the sign even though there is a peak of the hill on the access road north of this site. David doesn't feel raising the sign 25' higher is going to help in that regard. There is no reason why a 50' sign would not be adequate as they propose with Bridgestone being at the top. It doesn't seem to David once you get over the hill that the sign could not be seen. There doesn't seem to be a need. There shouldn't be a problem leaving the billboard sign now that it is painted. Merwin Willman stated he agrees with David on the height of the sign but he doesn't agree with leaving the billboard sign. This will give them two free standing signs and could be an eyesore. There is no future use for this sign once GRC puts in their own sign. . Gary Wallace stated he would be interested in what GCR has to say. Ernie Evans stated he also would be interested in if GCR owns the -3- e e 4It billboard sign. John Caldwell stated he would like to thank everyone for allowing this item to be changed on the agenda. John stated he is not the owner of the sign but he is the authorized agent to represent Ernest Wagner. The sign was part of the deal and GCR paid dearly for the sign. Mr. Wagner had stated the billboard sign is a licensed billboard sign by the state of Texas with the City of Schertz. What we would like to do is paint the sign and leave it blank. The front property at some time is going to be subdivided for two lots, up front and they would like to reserve this for the future user. As far as the pole sign we have asked for 75'. The new pylon sign will be at the western edge of the property. Amending our request we would like to have a sign of 50' tall against the roadway. Ernie Evans asked are you going to subdivide the property and keep the roadway in the middle. John Caldwell stated the roadway down the middle will be abandoned. Ernie asked if the access to the GRC building will be from the property side of the existing old gravel road. John stated the existing old gravel road is currently being negotiated with Mr. Simonson and Mr. Parnes of the Morton Companies to build a 30' road with a future 42' ROW. . Steve Simonson stated the road they are talking about will be a future city road 42' wide with curb and gutter on one side and open on the other. Ernie Evans stated with the future property in the front being subdivided, there is going to be the potential need for signage for these businesses. John Caldwell stated the businesses would come in on their own for the signage. Gary Wallace asked if a real value could be put on the sign? Caldwell stated not tonight. All they are asking is for the to stay in place we are not going to use it to advertise. would give Mr. Wagner the opportunity to use it at a later The way things are it will eventually come down. John sign This date. Ernie Evans stated if you don't own the sign, then ownes the property and sign could then use it billboard like those that run up and down IH 35. stated not without the City's approval. Mr. Wagner who as any other John Caldwell John Caldwell stated Mr. Wagner is the property owner he is leasing the property to Bridgestone GCR Truck Tire Center. . Ernie Evans asked what the purpose was of putting the Bridgestone pylon sign at the exit side of the drive. John Caldwell stated this is the way they would like it to follow to the entrance from west to east. -4- . . . e e David Richmond asked for clarification on the proposal of the pylon sign in lieu of the 75'? John Caldwell stated in lieu of the 75' height differential that would allow the difference between the base of the sign and the actual crown of the road which is about 7 or 8 feet. David Richmond stated 50' above the crown of the road? Caldwell stated "yes". John Gary Wallace asked if there was any reason why we need to address the billboard? Ernie Evans stated it is already part of the submittal. There are some options that can be used to address the billboard. steve Simonson stated this is still one whole piece of property and it has to be addressed as this would allow two free standing signs no matter who owns what. Ernie Evans stated in the UDC it states one free standing sign. Ernie Evans reiterated what David Richmond had commented that David would be against this variance for the sign, also in discussion it was talked about going from the 75' as requested to maybe something like 57' as an example so as to compromise the situation. The additional sign on the property should we table, approve, or deny it. Merwin Willman asked what would be the purpose of tabling? Ernie stated he did not see a purpose in tabling. John Caldwell stated the reason the billboard was on the request was they were wanting to keep the sign but not to use it. Gary Wallace asked if the request could be modified? Ernie Evans stated any modifications would have to be in the motion. Merwin Willman stated we could approve the height and disapprove the existing billboard sign. Merwin Willman moved to approve the request from GCR Truck Tire Center for variance to the Sign Ordinance for the pylon sign at a height of 50' plus the height of the crown of the road approximately 7', and disapprove the request to retain the existing billboard sign. Gary Wallace seconded the motion which carried as follows: AYES: Ernie Evans, David Richmond, Merwin Willman, Gary Wallace. OPPOSED: Tony Moreno. #8 CONSIDER AND MAKE RECOMMENDATION: Request from Thuy T. Pham to Rezone 1.5 Acres on FM 1518 from GB (General Business) to RA (Residential/Agriculture). (ZC #140-97) -5- e e . Steve Simonson stated there were two letters sent to surrounding property owners and no responses were received. A phone call received from RAFB expressed concern pertinent to the db noise level, as this residential land would be east of the fence line but up against the RAFB property and within a high noise zone. The property is currently zoned GB and the request is to zone 1.5 acres of the back part of the property to RA. The RA is the general zoning in the area. Ernie Evans asked if there was any information on the septic system requirements? Steve Simonson stated Bexar County stated it has to be 1/2 acre lots and Bexar County does the inspections on the septic systems. The size of the lots being shown for the purpose of the property use. We are not platting those lots at this time, if they are later to be sold then platting will be required at that time. Gary Wallace moved to approve the request from Thuy T. Pham to rezone 1.5 acres on FM 1518 from GB (General Business) to RA (Residential/Agriculture) to City Council to schedule public hearings with approval. Tony Moreno seconded the motion which carried with a unanimous vote. #9 CONSIDER AND MAKE RECOMMENDATION: Request Kilcrease, 500 Wayward Pass Exception to the Zoning Ordinance Setback from 20' to 10' for a (BOA #88-97) from Daniel for Special for Rear Yard Patio Cover. . Steve Simonson stated this is a straight forward request with the existing house being 22' from the back property line. There is an existing concrete patio and they are wanting to add to this causing it to become a large part of the back yard of their house which is not usable. Ernie Evans stated the map that is provided shows a 22' distance, if they use 10' this leaves 12' left over. Steve Simonson stated "yes". Juan Frail stated there is an existing concrete slab that they do not want to penetrate for load bearing as it will crack. There is 22' from the back of the home to the back fence line. We are asking to allow 10' from the back fence line so there is sufficient space. David Richmond stated the patio cover will not be supported by the existing concrete slab. Juan Frail stated "no" it cannot as it will crack. There is a need for load bearing poles and the existing slab will not support them, so we need to pour additional concrete to support the poles. . Ernie Evans asked what is the depth or the roof outline that will cover the patio? Juan Frial stated the overall size of the patio is going to be 10' from the existing home. There is an existing 8' -6- e e ~ slab but it needs to go beyond this for the roof overhang. Ernie Evans stated even though there is 12' difference after the patio cover is up you are still asking for an additional 2' variance. Juan Frail stated "yes" so that we can have the load bearing poles beyond the 8' existing slab but not right at the 10' point. This is a corner lot and they are losing alot of the back yard due to the angles. Merwin Willman moved to forward to the BOA with request submitted by Daniel Kilcrease, 500 Wayward Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance for Rear from 20' to 10' for a patio cover. Gary Wallace motion which carried with a unanimous vote. approval the Pass for a Yard Setback seconded the #10 CONSIDER AND MAKE RECOMMENDATION: Request from David Morrison, 728 Wooded Trail for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance for An Accessory Building to Install a Swimming Pool. (BOA #89-97) Steve Simonson stated this is a standard BOA request as they are wanting to install a pool within 5' of the home and a pool is considered an accessory building. It states in the ordinance that no accessory building maybe any closer than 10' to the main unit. ~ Gary Wallace moved to forward to BOA with approval the request submitted by David Morrison, 728 Wooded Trail for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance for an Accessory Building to install a Swimming Pool. Tony Moreno seconded the motion which carried with a unanimous vote. #11 CONSIDER AND MAKE RECOMMENDATION: Request from James Todd 2500 Grove for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance for Side Yard Setback from 5' to 3' and Rear Yard Setback from 20' to 7.5' for a Gazebo. (BOA #90-97) Steve Simonson stated in the drawings you will notice there is an electrical easement and there is a letter from Bobby O'Neil that states GVEC is not using this electrical easement and they don't have a problem with this request. Mr. Todd's property backs up to the existing cement drainage ROW that is between Woodland Oaks Unit 6A and Woodland Oaks Unit 4. It also is directly adjacent to the existing park in Woodland Oaks. This will not be encroaching into a neighbor's property either on the back or side yards. Tony Moreno moved to forward to BOA with approval the request submitted by James Todd, 2500 Grove Park for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance for Side Yard Setback from 5' to 3' and Rear Yard Setback from 20' to 7.5' for a gazebo.

(SUP #13-97) ~ Steve Simonson stated this is a request from a potential contractor for Randolph Air Force Base on material recovery, this is a clean recovery type of system. The representative from SI-Nor, Inc. can explain what this operation will be doing. This is just a temporary contract so it was recommended a SUP instead of rezoning the property. Gary Steve RA. Wallace asked what the current zoning is on the property? Simonson stated the current zoning on the property is GB and Anthony Uwakwe stated the parcel is being used for recycling because this is a new project with RAFB. There is going to be an enclosed structure for the recycling material to be delivered then the belt will run it through the facility warehouse where it will be sorted. All this will be done 500' away from the roadway. This will also be done in an enclosed area. There will be no trash which is the primary concern. The whole 20 acres will not be used. Gary Wallace stated when you sayan enclosed facility does this mean there will be a roof over the building or just fenced. ~ Anthony Uwakwe stated the dump spot will be enclosed but open at the top with no roof but the sorting line will be under a roof. Gary Wallace asked how much stock piling will there be? Anthony Uwakwe stated they have done one run at the base and there will be about 20 cubic yards in a week. This will be processed as it is brought in, there will be no storage, there will be no stock piles. Tony Moreno asked about the structures. Anthony Uwakwe stated on the sorting it is enclosed all around. On the dumping, which is the first drop off for the trucks, the top would be open for the trucks. Merwin Willman stated he would like to make a recommendation that this be tabled until a site plan can be presented to the Commission so we can see exactly what they have in mind to put in there. So we may have a better idea on what the operation is and how it is going to run. After the site plan is submitted we can determine if there is any other information needed as stated in Article V 2.2 in the UDC. This is something new and none of us are familar with this type of operation. If there is a site plan it will show how the operation is going to run. ~ Anthony Uwakwe stated the structures on the property will be two buildings one without a roof and one with a roof, it will also be enclosed on all four sides. This facility is like a chain with four stations. Station one will be the unloading station, a conveyer belt that moves to station two which is the sorting station enclosed with the roof, station three is the pick up spot. -8- e e ~ Don Holman stated this facility is only going to recycle cans, bottles, and card board. They have a five year contract. Merwin Willman stated it is our authority to request a site plan be submitted if it is needed. Ernie Evans stated a site plan will indicate where you entering and exiting the property. This will also location of the building on the property. will show be the Gary Wallace stated his only concern is that he has never been on a recycling site that has not been "junky." Gary agrees with Merwin that a site plan needs to be submitted to show the location of the building in relation to the roadway. Merwin Willman stated the company must comply with all state and federal guidelines. Anthony Uwakwe stated they will be complying with the guidelines as far as safety and health. "All we are going to be getting in this facility is cans, and card board material and none of these are hazardous material." ~ Merwin Willman Specific Use until a site paragraph 2.2 carried with a moved to table the request from SI-Nor Inc. for a Permit for a Material Recovery Facility on FM 1518, plan is submitted in accordance with Article XVI in the UDC. Gary Wallace seconded the motion which unanimous vote. #13 CONSIDER AND MAKE RECOMMENDATION: Request from Destiny Homes Inc., for a Specific Use Permit for a Realestate Office and Model Home on IH 35 Access. (SUP #14-97) Steve Simonson stated the reason this is a request for a SUP is because if this was going to be strictly used only for a realestate office then this would not be before the Commission only a site plan. But because it was reported to Steve that at some point in time once Destiny Homes stops using the office they are going to want to sell the house for residential use. Residential use is not authorized in NS zoning. This is the same location where the REMAX Office was going to be located. Merwin as an leaving area as Willman stated he has no objection to the house being used office but Merwin has reservations on the later date of this as a residence. This would not be compatible to the this would be right in front of a MHS. David Richmond stated this would be 50' off a heavy use road. David agrees with Merwin 100% with the use of the being used for a business but not for future residence. access property ~ Mike Ortman residence. stated This is this was designed never intended to to be a model home -9- be used as only with a an e e ~ office. Brett Bruchmiller stated this is a model home with it being used in the future for an office only, not a residence. Once the model home is no longer needed it will be strictly a real estate office. Steve Simonson stated this is what was conveyed to him earlier that it would be used as a residence. If this is not what is going to happen then there is no reason for the SUP as it is zoned NS in which realestate is allowed. Gary Wallace moved to disapprove the request submitted by Destiny Homes Inc., for a Specific Use Permit for a Real Estate Office and Model Home on IH 35 Access. Tony Moreno seconded the motion which carried with a unanimous vote. #14 CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION: Request from Destiny Homes Inc., for Site Plan Approval for a Realestate Office and Model Home. (PC #314-97) ~ Steve Simonson stated this is an elaborate site plan with colored pictures. The information on the home builder was in the Northeast Sun in an article. There is one thing that needs to be looked at in conjunction with the site plan and that is the height of the sign on Cabana Drive. The sign is authorized for the area. The concern is if there is enough room to be able to see on-coming traffic on the access road as far as sight distance. If the sign is tall enough to be seen underneath it, then there will be no problem. This is a 20' X 8'sign on 16' poles this leaves 8' underneath and this may not be tall enough. This is at the corner of Cabana Drive across from the Mexican Restaurant Las Pasadita, which has a narrow turn around and limited parking. Brett Bruchmiller stated the sign is proposed at 8' but we are completely flexible on the sign and the location. Steve Simonson stated it is an authorized sign but with it being on the corner the visibility needs to be taken into consideration. David Richmond stated he was concerned about the sign in relationship to the La Pasadita sign, which is a small sign and not much higher, set into their property, and would it be obstructed from the access road. Steve stated in that case we would want the sign moved to the other end of the property by Irolia Drive. Ernie Evans asked what is the building setback? Steve Simonson stated the building setback is 25' with parking going right up to the property line. Ernie Evans stated being that this is the site plan and we do have the sign issue solved. This would make the site incorrect. The site plan needs to be correct as this is document that everyone goes by. not plan the ~ Merwin Willman moved to disapprove the Site Plan submitted by -10- e e ~ Destiny Homes, Inc., for a Realestate Office and Model Home.

This property is from the Forbes Investment Group who already own three other pieces of property along IH 35. The existing property is zoned M-1 and they are requesting the remaining 200 acres be zoned M-1 which has no homes or residences other than a farm on the back end of the property.
