Waiver — Roadway Improvements associated with PC2015 -049 Consider and act upon a request for approval of a waiver to UDC Sec. 21.14.1.K regarding improvements to Eckhardt Road related to the proposed preliminary plat of The Parklands Subdivision Unit 1, an approximately 48 acre tract of land situated in the John Noyes Survey No. 259, Abstract No. 253, and the Carrol M. Gahogan, Jr. Survey No. 25, Abstract No. 142, City of Schertz, Guadalupe County, Texas, generally located on the south east corner of Eckhardt Road and Froboese Road. Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 2016 Page 2 of 6 Bryce Cox, Senior Planner made a presentation on a request for a conditional waiver to UDC Sec.21.14.1.K regarding the construction of roadway improvements to Eckhardt Road for the Parklands Subdivision. He indicated that the applicant is requesting to construct offsite improvements to Eckhardt Road from the Intersection of I -35, south along Eckhardt Road for a distance that is roughly proportional to the value of the required improvements to Eckhardt Road adjacent to The Parklands Subdivision, in lieu of constructing the improvements to Eckhardt Road adjacent to The Parklands Subdivision. Eckhardt Road -is unimproved from the intersection south approximately 690 feet at which point the roadway transitions into a half improved road on the west side of the road adjacent to the Cypress Point units 1 and 2. Staff has reviewed this request and supports this waiver and granting the proposed waiver would provide roadway improvements along a critical section of Eckhardt Road. Staff recommends approval of this waiver with these conditions that the applicant enter into a community facilities agreement with the City to construct the offsite improvements to Eckhardt Road, and if the applicant cannot obtain the necessary additional right -of -way dedication for the offsite improvements, the applicant would then construct the original required improvements to Eckhardt Road adjacent to The Parklands Subdivision. Mr. Dahle asked about North and South impact fees if they could be used to improve the Eckhardt Road further down the road. Bryce responded it could be that there is in being a process for approval of a roadway impact fee that if it's approved they could be responsible for these roadway improvements. Mr. Dahle then asked if this gets approved will these developers have a free pass it the roadway impact fee does not pass before they start their development and Bryce responded it could be possible and Brian James responded that there is lag time still on getting the processing the final plat and the roadway impact fee should be approved before all the paperwork is completed. Brian James responded we should have enough time. Mr. Wellmann from KFW responded that they are concerned that the final plat would be held until the roadway impact fee are improved and Brian responded that they will be some risk and would look at when they finalized the final plat. But, the real problem is not having that intersection improved. Mr. Richmond asked if they approve this waiver would they be able to look at the final plat. Brian James commented yes, they would still have to get a second approval with the final plat. Mr. Dahle moved to approve this item with the following conditions: 1. The applicant receive approval of a waiver as part of the final plat; 2. The applicant enter into a community facilities agreement with the City to construct the offsite improvements to Eckhardt Road and that allows for the deferral of the improvements to Eckhardt Road; and if the applicant cannot obtain the necessary additional right -of -way dedication for the offsite improvements or if the applicant cannot reach agreement on the terms of the community facilities agreement, the applicant would then construct the public improvements for Eckhardt Road adjacent to the subdivision. Mr. Crawford seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. Motion carried. Minutes Planning and Zoning Commission May 11, 2016 Page 3 of 6 B. PC2015 -049 Consider and act upon a request for approval of a preliminary plat of The Parklands Subdivision Unit 1, an approximately 48 acre tract of land situated in the John Noyes Survey No. 259, Abstract No. 253, and the Carrol M.

The civil construction plans must be reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Departments prior to approval of the final plat which includes Water and Sewer, Drainage, Sidewalks, hike and bike trails, and road improvements. Staff has Reviewed this request and supports this waiver. Mr. Braud asked does the map show where the lot size will be. Bryce commented yes, and noted them from the attached map presented to the commissioners at number 5. Mr. Braud what are we looking at #4 and 5? Bryce commented and explained by pulling up pages and commenting on the detention area. Mr. Dahle asked what the price point of the homes is.

Waiver — Rough Proportionality on roadway construction associated with PC2016 -019 Consider and act upon a request for approval of a waiver regarding Rough Proportionality on roadway construction related to the proposed final plat of The Reserve at Schertz II, Unit 3, an approximately 19 acre tract of land situated in the Stacy B.

The City's Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) designates a proposed north/south collector identified as Lazar Parkway (86' ROW) that stretches from Lower Seguin Road to IH 10. He indicated that the UDC, Article 4 Procedures and Applications, Sec. 21.4.15.E.1 Timing of Public Infrastructure Improvement Construction, requires the installation of all public improvements required to serve the subdivision before a final plat is recorded or the applicant can defer the obligation to install the public improvements conditioned on the execution of a subdivision improvement agreement and sufficient surety to secure the obligations defined in the agreement. Staff recommends approval of the waiver request for The Reserve at Schertz I1 subdivision, Unit 3 based on the calculations provided by the applicant for rough proportionality. The developer will be dedicating the necessary right -of- way. Mr. Dahle commented that we get the roadway impact fees soon enough. Mr. Crawford moved to approve this item.
