Councilman Ken Greenwald arrived at the meeting at 8:05 P.M. #6 GENERAL DISCUSSION Steve Simonson commented that, although Ty Brisgill was absent, he had checked for him on the lighting on East Live Oak Road from Maske Road to FM 3009 and also on the lighting on the creek side of the park between the school and the creek. Mr. Simonson stated there are no plans for more street lights in either location. Mr. Simonson also stated that the progress on Schertz Parkway is looking good. Ken Greenwald reminded everyone of the Christmas party at the h1ayor's home, 512 Aviation, on Saturday, December 14, 1985 anytime between 5:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M. Ken Greenwald also noted there is a public hearing scheduled for December 17, 1985. Mr. Greenwald, referring to Zoning Change #74, said that at the City Council Workshop there had been a discussion with the Joint Venture Group. Mr. Green- wald commented the Joint Venture Group felt they could not work with the area as long as it was zoned strictly residential. The Council granted them a 300 foot frontage on East Live Oak Road zoned as Neighborhood Services and asked them to work out the area behind that as residential. Merwin Willman noted that the Commission members had been given excerpts of City Council minutes from sessions on November 26 and December 3, 1985 in their packages. Mr. Willman commented the City Council was displeased with the Planning and Zoning Commission's reason for recommendation of disapproval of Zoning Change #74. Mr. Willman suggested that in the future we elaborate more and be more specific in our reasons for recommendation of either approval or disapproval of said zoning changes. Merwin Willman commented he would like to have consideration for zoning of the land annexed along FM 1518 South on the next agenda. Mr. Willman said the Conr- mission should take a look at the land, consider what type of zoning they wanted and set it up fora public hearing. Ken Greenwald said the Commission should also take a look at the land on the other side of FM 1518 beyond the ballfield because it is also in consideration for annexation. Bob Andrews asked if the City had any plans to restripe any of the roads. Ken Greenwald commented he thought-the equipment for striping had to be rented because the City didn't have any. Bob Andrews also remarked on the parking on Main Street in front of Sippel's and True Value Hardware. There was a brief discussion on this and the fact that some- thing should be done because it is a traffic hazard. David Allen commented that sometime early next year he would like to see the Master Plan reviewed because apparently, from zoning action recently, the City Council has a different feeling about it than the Planning and Zoning Commission. Chairman Yarling commented on the new sign put up by San Antonio Shoe and asked if they had been issued a permit for it. Chairman Yarling also commented he would be unable to attend the public hearing on December 17, 1985. Merwin Willman asked the status of the Sign Ordinance. . Ken Greenwald replied he would check on it. David Allen asked if another Natural Bridge Caverns sign is going up on FM 78. #7 ADJOURNMENT Chairman Yarling wished everyone a Merry Christmas and adjourned the meeting at 9:06 P.M.
