A motion was made by Mr. Aguilar to accept the preliminary
plats for Northcliff East Community Section 2, and Community
.Section 3, it was seconded by Mr. Linebarger. All members

5. "SHOWTIME CITY" REVIEW
Several residents of Garden Ridge were present including Mayor Pro-Tem
Mr. Ben White to hear the briefing from Mr. McIver, President, Outdoor
Entertainment Centers of America, Inc. in regards to possibility of.
re-zoning a plat of 14 acres for erection of a park "Showtime City".
Pros and cons were discussed, as to type of entertainment, length
in time, number of spectators anticipated at each show and etc.
This is, if the plat of land is rezoned and Showtime City is accepted
by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
A great deal of discussion was held as to the handling of the heavy
load of traffic in and out of the parking area when entertainment is
being held. Chief of Police, Gene Schoonover requested a meeting
with Mr. McTvers engineer as soon as the ingress and egress to the
park is preliminary laid out. Also, it was suggested that Mr. Sparks,
Highway Department, be in attendance of this meeting. Mr. Garza in-
formed Mr. McIver that the City would proceed with the re-zoning and
keep him informed.
B. At this. time, with US Homes representative present, the Planning
and Zoning Commission began discussion on Northcliff Community
Section 2.
The problem of 12 foot utility easements which are in viola-
tion of the 16 foot easement requirement still remained un-
solved on this-plat. With this in mind, Mr. Outwin requested
a variance to this requirement. After much discussion it was
felt that the most logical move would be to grant the variance
to the l6 foot requirement on Northcliff Community Section 2.
This 12 foot easement would allow this area to be in conformity
to the platted area which enclaves this unplatted land.
Mr. Linebarger made a motion to accept both the variance to
the 16 foot easement requirement for Northcliff Community
Section 2 and acceptance of the preliminary plat for Community
Section 2. This motion was seconded by Mr. Aguilar. All mem-
bers were in favor.
Mr. Outwin informed Planning and Zoning that in future plats,
they would comply with all subdivision requirements of the
City of Schertz. They further requested to be place on the
mailing list for the Planning and Zoning Agendas and Minutes.
The Commission then discussed the 4 foot sidewalk requirement
with Mr. Outwin. It-was noted the US Homes was constructing
3 foot sidewalks, which are not in compliance to the subdivi-
sion requirement of 4 feet. This matter will be further dis-
cussed at the next regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
6. APPOINTMENT RECOMMENDATION FOR PLANNING AND ZONING SECRETARY
