REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
JUNE 4, 1985
The Schertz City Council convened in Regular Session, Tuesday,
June 4, 1985, at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers, 1400 Live Oak
Road. The following members were present: Mayor Earl W. Sawyer,
presiding; Charles B. Sharpe, Hal Baldwin, Raymond Stanhope,
Adolph Aguilar and Ken Greenwald. Staff present were Jimmy G.
Gilmore and City Secretary June G. Krause.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT HEARING: Mayor Sawyer explained that the
City Council sits as the Board of Adjustment as required by City
Charter. He then said the purpose of the BOA Hearing was to
receive input from the public on a request by Robert Zunker for a
Special Exception. The exception is to place a galvanized
building in the Special Overlay District along Jack Hays
Boulevard. The location is Lot 3, Deerhaven Subdiviision, Unit
2, known as 1212 Antler Drive.
Mr. Zunker said his request is to put up a good-looking metal
building much like others in the subdivision. He said he is in
the metal business and it would be cheaper for him than having to
hire a contractor to put up a brick building. He then showed
r- pictures of a similar building he has on his farm.
Mr. Aguilar said that although Mr. Zunker mentioned that this
will be similar to one his neighbor has, the neighbors building
is not in the overlay district and this one would be. That is
the reason for the request.
Mayor Sawyer read a letter from V. and Mary Theis of 1120 Antler
Drive in which they opposed the placement of this type bulding in
the overlay district.
In answer to questions by Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Zunker said he does now
have a carport, in which he parks his boat, and a garage. He
also said that he has sold a trailer from this same lot as well
as some trucks during the year.
Mr. Zunker was also questioned by Mr. Aguilar about the type of
business he was in and said he was in manufacturing and this
building would only be used for personal vehicles. He would not
be doing any type of business from this building.
There were no citizens present to give input on this request.
Mr. Sharpe explained that the Council is trying to protect the
environment and looks and trying to establish some type of
control. If the Council starts granting exceptions, they defeat
what they are trying to do.

11 HEARING OF RESIDENTS: Mrs. Coralee Fenner, president of
the Southeast Randolph Property Owners Association, addressed the
Council. - She' said they had talked with Mr. Gilmore ahd have now
come to see if Council would be interested in annexing them if
they can get a release from San Antonio. The area includes 5,000
acres east of FM 1604 and north of .IlO. They have received
nothing from San Antonio in the ten years since they were
annexed. Already they are receiving more from Schertz because of
getting water. Mrs. Fenner said they had gone to San Antonio and
were offered "limited annexation", which would be no servic~s and
no taxes.
When asked by Council the procedures to be taken, Mr. Harris
(City Attorney) said Schertz could annex them if San Antonio
disannexed them and then the City of San Antonio and the City of 0
Schertz would have to come to some type of agreement regarding
ETJ.
After further discussion, Mayor Sawyer said it seems Council
would be willing to annex this area if everything could be worked
out.
