#2 APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Regular Session February 11, 1985
It was noted the time of adjournment shoul d be amended to read "9: 32 P J1. 11 .
Merwin Willman made a motion to approve the minutes as amended. James Harden
seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor.
#3 CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION: Preliminary/Final Plat
C.D.R. Drainage R.O.W.
Earl Hartzog advised the Commission this should be only a prel iminary plat/.v:Jl
since the construction plans were not complete and the City Engineer hadJ'given
his final approval. It was noted the volume and page as recorded was not noted
on the plat for surrounding property owners. It was noted the right-of-way for
Borgfeld Road was sixty feet and would be paved to forty-four feet. The width
of this road was discussed with the Mayor of Cibolo and he agreed with the
width.
The Commission was advised the use of the retards in the drainage was not
acceptable to the Superintendent of Streets and Parks. The City does not have
the manpower or the equipment to maintain these new drainage structures. It
was recommended the channel be concrete.
It was explained to the Commission the concrete retards were necessary to slow
the flow of the creek down, and a concrete channel would not provide for nat-
ural absorption of the run-off and would defeat the retention of excessive
run-off.

There was discussion about the use of fourteen 6' x 91 box culverts under
Borgfeld Road and to have the City Engineer check this item.
It was noted the gas line would need to be lowered below the proposed
channel.
Ray Stanhope made a motion to approve the preliminary plat. Bob Andrews
seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor.
#4 CONSIDER AND MAKE RECOMMENDATION: Special Exception to Place
Billboard along IH 35
Earl Hartzog provided the Commission a request for a special exception to
Article XVIII, Section 2.6 of the Zoning Ordinance to place a billboard
along IH 35.
It was noted a number of billboards have been erected along IH 35 since
this ordinance was established with an effective date of September 9, 1979.
There was discussion about the number of nonconforming signs in the City
and legal input on the period of amortization that must be given before
requiring compliance. It was noted the Board of Adjustment will need to
have a public hearing before approving this request.
Merwin Willman made a motion for the Commission to recommend disapproval of
the request and enforce the current ordinance. It was further recommended
that legal input be obtained on the period of amortization that must be given
to bring signs into conformance with existing ordinances. Darwin Peek
seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor.
