Ms. Wood presented the item stating that the preliminary plat was previously approved on October 10,
2012, and the Commission is being asked tonight to approve a final plat. Ms. Wood had an opportunity
to go with Public Worlcs onsite, and although this does not have any bearing on the final plat, she did
take a picture of a sample fence in the area. The UDC states that the fencing be an S foot masonry wall,
and she believes the pictures she is presenting to the Commission show what the applicant is proposing.
Staff will continue to review the UDC to properly interpret the fencing requirement.
Mr. Richmond reminded the Commission that they have reviewed the preliminary plat before, and that
there is a rough proportionality waiver attached to the request regarding construction of the road
adjacent to the subdivision. Ms. Wood stated that the Commission also approved a waiver with the
preliminary plat to install an onsite sewage facility on each residential lot because a public wastewater
system currently is not installed in the area.
Discussion followed between the Staff and the Commission.
Mr. Greenwald moved to approve the consent item with the waivers as requested. Mr. Glombik
seconded the motion. Vote was 6-0. Motion carried.

Council on January 29, 2013, if possible.
B. Discussion and Public Hearing to discuss Impact Fees.
Mr. James presented information on impact fees. He stated that the City charges impact fees for water
and sewer based on a study that determines the eligible cast needed for new development. State law,
along with the City's ordinance, requires asemi-annual report to the Capital Improvement Advisory
Committee (P&Z Commission plus two appointees) which will be recommended to City Council. Staff
is planning to provide the Committee with a Fiscal Year 2011 - 2012 Report, and later in May 2013, a
six month report. The reports will show assets, amounts collected, disbursements on various projects,
and remaining balance.

Wood stated that Staff met with SARA, and they are building trunk lines to be completed
by March 2013. She will get a preliminary map of the service area, and will email it to the
Commission.
Mr. Richmond asked if the map contained in the most recent Crossvine spiral binder of
rezoning ordinances and specifications was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. He is concerned that the proposed Healthcare Village south of the Tyrannus
School of the Arts in Module III, which contained space for independent and assisted living,
and a medical center, has been replaced by additional single family residential housing. Mr.
James stated that Staff will add this item to the January 23, 2013 meeting.
