W®RI~SI~®P/I~ISCUSSI®N A. Discussion and public hearing on improvements to the HOA process, drainage responsibilities, subdivision master plan requirements and the basis for approving and denying plats. Mr. James presented this item by stating this workshop item is a result of the discussion at the last P&Z #neeting. Regarding the HOA process, the City's interest is to make sure that an entity is responsible for maintaining common lots, emergency access and drainage easements. The City has made some modifications to storm water improvements dealing with situations for the improvement beyond the scope of the H0~1 and the City has to step in to maintain it, because it impacts the larger drainage system. Right now the City does not review HOA documents presently and we may need to make an ordinance change to review IIOA documents to make sure that they Minu#es Planning and Zoning Commission May 22, 2413 Page t of'4 meet our minimum criteria and to ensure that someone is responsible for maintaining the easements shown on a plat. Mr. James also stated that there ace 2 issues with drainage responsibilities; first being that the developer controls the lots until a certain number of lots at°e sold and once the HOA is set up, then the HOA takes control of regulation. Also a developer can add property into the HOA. The City needs to look at a modification to clarify the purpose of tl~e Subdivision Master Plan process and requirements for platting. The basis for approving and denying plats and master plans are non-discretionary items. Mr. Greenwald opened the public hearing at 6:25 P.M. • Clark McChesney, 70i 8 Hallie Heights, spoke on the control of how property is transferred to an HOA. • Maggie Titterington, 9923 Autumn Arbor, spoke on the concern regarding stock tarrlcs. • Robert Brockman, 1000 Elbel Road, spoke on a drainage easement ordinance in Savannah Square recently passed by City Council. • David Beales, Briones Engineering, is working with the applicant and stated that he went back to the developer after the last meeting and was assured by the developer that he is not going to turn over the pond to the HOA and he wants to sell the pond as a single tract to a single homeowner and keep it as Agricultural. • Lance McCallie, 6945 IIallie Heights, spoke on using the UDC and holding the developer accountable. Tammy Williams, 7013 Hallie Heights, spoke on trust being an issue between developers and homeowners. Mr. Greenwald closed the public hearing at b:36 P.M. Mr. Dahle asked if we are removing the pond from the development, would it change the master plan? Mr. James answered no. Discussion followed between the Staff and the Commission. 5.

This is a 8.348+ acre tract of land situated in the Rafael Garza Survey, Abstract No. 138, City of Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas and located on Fairlawn Avenue approxitnately 600 + feet north of Old Wiederstein Road. C. >l'C2013-O1b The Deserve at Schertz, Unit 2 _ final flat Consider and act upon a request for approval of a final plat of The Reserve at Schertz, Unit 2, a Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission May 22, 2013 Page 2 of ~ 22.541± acre tract of land out of 93.452 acre tract and situated in the Stacy B. Lewis Survey No. 317 and the Antonia Zamora Survey No. 36, City of Schertz, Bexar County, Texas and located on N. Graytown Road approxi-nately 1100 + feet north of the IH I0. Ms. Woad presented this item by stating the applicant is proposing to final plat 22.541± acres of land establishing 31 single family residential lots with a minimum lot size of 21,780 square feet. The site is zoned Residential Agriculture (RA). The subject property is currently undeveloped and is located north of IH 10 off of N. Graytown Road and adjacent to the Hunter Estates and lvy Estates subdivisions. This property is located adjacent to the 100-year floodplain (Unit 4) but Unit 2 is not located within the floodplain. The development is designed to have two (2j points of access through Unit 1 via N. Graytown Road and through the adjacent Ivy Estates Subdivision/Lazar Parkway. The City's Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP} designates a proposed north/south collector identified on the plat as Lazar Parkway (86' ROW) which right-of--way was dedicated with Hunter Estates and ivy Estates. Furthermore, the MTP proposes an expansion of the existing Graytown Road (60' ROW) to an 86' ROW. The applicant is providing the 13' dedication for Graytown Road. Prior to recording the final plat for this subdivision the final plat for the Unit 1 must be filed with the County Clerks office. On March 13, 2013 the Planning and Zoning Commission granted a waiver regarding construction of Lazar Parkway and Graytown Road; based on dle calculations provided by the applicant, using the City of San Antonio's methodology. Staff is suppo--tive utilizing San Antonio's methodology to determine rough proportionality. Based on the analysis, while the developer will be dedicating the necessary right-of--way, to require improvements to either Lazar Parkway, beyond what the developer is proposing to provide access, or Graytown Road, creates a rough proportionality issue. The Commission also granted a waiver to allow the developer to install an on site sewage facility an each residential Iot because a public wastewater system is currently not installed in the area. The final plat has been reviewed under Ordinance No. i 1-5-15 with no objections by the City Engineer, Public Works, Parks, Inspections, Tire and Police. The plat is consistent with all applicable zoning requirements, ordinances, and regulations of the City with the waiver approval. Discussion followed between the Staff and the Commission. Mr. Braud moved to accept this item as presented which included the 2 waivers regarding onsite sewage and rough proportionality on the construction of Lazar Parkway. Mr. Glombilc seconded tl~e motion. Vote was 5-0. Motion carried. 6. REQUESTS AND AI`71Y®UNCEIl~IENTS A. Requests by Commissioners to place items on a futr€re Planning and Zoning Agenda. ® Mr. Dahle asked about looking at rough proportionality in the UDC.
