Hearing of Residents
• Ms. Rosemary Hendrix, 3017 Turquoise, who spoke about her subdi ision -- Sedona; she said
she was there for drainage and sewage issues. She had pictures of some ongoing construction
and said all the neighbors just want to see responsible development in their area.
• Ms. Patty Cullum, 9025 Peridot, who talked about some studies that were done and stated that
they still don't know if they were ever done. She realizes there have been changes made. She
would like to see some of these studies — residents are:asking for this. They are all concerned
about the future of Sedona and the children in the neighborhood. They would like to know
about the things that never got completed or were promised for the subdivision vs. what things
are finished and things for the future residents of the Cross in s Master Community.
• Mr. Glen Outlaw, 3729 Forsyth Park; who extended his appreciation for being allowed to sit
in on the council retreat (public) meeting last Week.'-1t, was very informative. He also would
like Council to consider putting these meetings out can the internet for the public to access
(other than on YouTube) without having to, pay $3 for a DVD to listen to the meetings.
• Ms. Cat Anderso�i, 3040 Muntjac, who said they are aware of their 2005 development plan,
and know a lot of things have changed since then., Today they have many concerns such as no
covered mailbox stop, insufficient lighting around the neighborhood, no overhead coverage at
bus stops, no pocket parks for the- cchildren to play in, insufficient drainage and no park and
recreation areas. She also` supplied some information regarding recent incidents of theft as
well as pictures of"various areas in the neighborhood with insufficient lighting.
• 1r. Grumpy Azzoz; 528 Wayward Pass, who spoke about Police Department matters
especially in regard to some repent vandalism and theft involving his wife's Tahoe. He is
concerned that there is no local police protection other than themselves and did the Schertz
Police Department even investigate this matter and others. He asked for city leadership to
make some decisions before more serious crime and negligence takes place— negligence is
what gets us in trouble. He leaves it up to them.
• Dr. David Scagliola; 3418 Foxbriar Lane, who was asked to represent a few residents (300
signatures) who are concerned about the Northcliffe Golf Course property. It has 150 active
members. He provided some history on the property. There is a rumor that the front part of the
golf course could be developed into a future strip mall. This source is credible and the
residents are concerned once more. He would like to see this topic as a future agenda item for
council to discuss and ultimately decide to keep Northcliffe as an 18 -hole golf course, discuss
the various opportunities to purchase the golf course (by a private entity or the City) and
rezone all of the green areas to reflect a green space designation.

Workshop
• Discussion regarding the Sedona /Crossvine Batch Plant Expansion. (D. Wait)
Mayor Carpenter recognized Executive Director Dudley Wait who said the original batch
plant was installed in 2006 and is operated by agreement with COMA. It is permitted by
TCEQ for 92,000 gallons of discharge a day but a single batch plant can only treat 46,000
gallons a day. He provided a map of the area of treatment. TCEQ requires a developed plan
for exceeding 75% of current capacity in a three month period (which happened in April, May
and June 2016). The City then developed a plan to put a second btch,plant out there; council
approved this on October 25, 2016. .
Mr. Wait provided a map of the current development areas in soulth, Schertz and showed the
audience the location of the batch plant. He said one of the concerns of the City and the
developer is that with the current pace of development, even, the second batch plant will not be
New developments include& the following. The new batch plant is being painted and

questions from Council.
• Discussion regarding the Sedona Development and Infrastructure Issues. (D. Wait/D.
Letbetter /K. Woodlee /J. hooks /J. Walters)
Mayor Carpenter recognized Executive Director Dudley Wait who said he was going to cover
the following topics: a park update, water concerns, wastewater concerns, drainage issues and
corrections, sidewalks and streetlights.
Mr. Wait introduced Parks Director Chuck VanZandt who provided information regarding the
parkland in the area. The City signed the Deed of Dedication for the property on December
1 -24 -201.7 Minutes Page - 4 -
31, 2009. The total acreage is 13.1 acres. The City arranged for the demolition /removal of
thirteen ancillary structures on the property beginning January 26, 2012. The property
remained as was. The farmhouse had asbestos containing materials in all the interior walls and
ceiling joint compounds. On November 12, 2014, staff discussed selling the farmhouse on
GovDeals to save on costs associated with demolishing the structure. The ending cost was
$16,700 +. The demolition/removal of the farmhouse was completed on April 13, 2016. . The
site was monitored during demolition to ensure no environmental hazards released into the air.
Round II of the City Tree Pruning Program saw the Class II pruning of the vast majority of
the trees on the 13.1 acre site. That work was completed in late Juni ,�201.6. The site clearing
(debris piles) was completed on December 6, 2016. The re- chantelization of drainage through
the park was completed on January 11, 2017. .
Moving forward they have a conceptual plan for the perk: a 10
mile in length, park benches, and picnic tables (in group, , gs fc
programs and regular day use).
The planned improvements timeline is as follow-,
• January 2017 — amenities will be ordered
• February 2017 — Cut trail (Public Works
• March 2017 - amenity installation and cc

)rmational brochures out on table in the foyer for the residents regarding water
Mr. Hooks addressed questions and comments from Council.
Mr. Wait spoke next about resident waste water concerns. The plant capacity limitations do
not impact existing residents. While they do make repairs as things break or as part of their
routine service, :these have not created backups or overflows. CCMA is also unaware of any
service issues (batik -ups, odors, spills, etc.) If residents do experience backups, they should
call Public Works right away so they can check out the problem(s). Most backups in homes
are due to clogs in the private lines - -- grease in a kitchen sink, hair in a bathroom sink, etc.
Regarding drainage issues, one ongoing problem is with capacity of the rock channel at the
end of Pencil Cholla to carry water flows. It appears to back up as it leaves the street and as it
passes under the pedestrian bridge. Staff will work with the developer to correct these issues
over the next month (end of February). Councilmembers Kiser and Gutierrez commended
staff for the information and work they have done on this. Mr. Wait addressed questions and
1 -24 -201.7 Minutes Page - 5 -
comments from Council. Mr. Wait emphasized that maintenance will always be continuous
as it is in other subdivisions throughout the city.
Mr. Wait continued addressing some issues regarding sidewalks. Two lots were set aside for
either easements or access (to the park). The City put in one sidewalk and the HOA installed
the other one. In the future, if a lot is not going to have a structure built on it, the sidewalk in
front of it will be installed by the developer. He gave credit to Development Services Director
Lesa Wood, her staff and Executive Director Brian James for their insight in learning from
past practices and improving processes such as this for future developments.
Lastly, Mr. Wait spoke about street lights in the subdivision. The City practice is to put a
streetlight on every corner. Some electricity providers will place them midblock on longer
blocks. However, Streetlights were not installed on Hollering Vint Lower Seguin Road
and at both Crossvine entrances off FM 151.8. The City, of Schertz has three main electrical
providers: Guadalupe Valley Electric Corporation (CVEC), New Braunfls Utilities (NBU),
and San Antonio City Public Service (CPS).
• Discussion and pre ca
sentation n PEX Pipe issues. (B. James /L. Wood /G. Durant)
Mayor Carpenter recognized ChiefBuilding Official Gil Durant who said this type of pipe has
been aroti,nd "in the United'States since aground the 1980's. Some of its' common uses is for in
between floorsstems and plumbing connections (water heaters, washing machines, etc.)
Mr .,, Durant invited EMS Director Jason Mabbitt forward to tell Council of his own home
experience with PEX 'piping. His leaks occurred in 2010 and then again in 2015. . Everyone
seemed to, point the fingr at someone else for the problem. The excuses were a bad batch of
PEX pipe supplies, water pressure, and bad installation. One thing he noticed is that the leaks
seemed to always be on `bends'. Repairs were always made and in time they learned there
was actually a "lawsuit against the pipe manufacturer. In his neighborhood there are about 50
homes that have been affected. In 2015 they ended up getting an attorney to represent 18
homeowners. Only then, did they agree to re -pipe the homes. There is also a second and third
group of homeowners who are going through this experience. It is a mess.
Mr. Durant said he did check with the state plumbing board to see if they had other problems
in other areas of the state and they said they had not received any substantial calls. He also
spoke with Sidney Langford, the local investigator for the Texas Board of Plumbing
Examiners who said he is looking into about 30 -40 homes in the San Antonio area with the
same manufacturer. At this time the state was not going to proceed with any other
investigations. He found the installations to be in compliance with the instructions by the
1 -24 -2017 Minutes Page - 6 -
manufacturer and plumbing code. However, he also said in the near future any plumbing
inspector is going to be required to go through 6 hours of continued education. Mr. Durant
answered questions from Council.

Director of Planning & Community Development Lesa Wood spoke about the need for garden

Throughout the years *e have discussed having a variety of housing types in order to offer
diversity to our residents. This Project has been on the planning table for a while and we were
having i any discussions /meetings. All of these plans have already been approved by our fire
department.,",, However, more discussions are needed to help get this development moving
forward and provide a;positive solution for everyone.
Mayor Carpenter opened the public hearing and the following individuals spoke:
• Ms. Rosemary Hendrix, 3017 Turquoise, who said that this is not the only
development that is out there. She expressed concern for having enough traffic
roadways and turning space. Please consider where and how the extra traffic is going
to be managed through this continued development.
• Ms. Patty Cullum, 9025 Peridot, who asked if the sewer capacity would be sufficient
to handle the continued development? She has also noticed the deterioration of road
conditions on Lower Seguin Road due to heavy traffic; also a lot of bike riders who
are coming out in groups. She is also concerned about the drainage issues; she is
1 -24 -2017 Minutes Page - 7 -
seeing a lot of erosion and water runoff. She has asked for the asbuilt and construction
inspection reports. She has concerns about the correctness of the utilities that were
installed. As more homes are built, it will affect them all. That is why she made the
request.
• Mr. Scott Morton, 3002 Pencil Cholla, who said he is not against expansion but
wanted to know if where the location of the garden homes are being proposed, will
there be additional entrances out to FM 1518? He spoke about flooding and storm
water concerns, the lack of infrastructure out there and traffic congestion.
• Ms. Cat Anderson, 3040 Muntjac, who showed several slides of a powerpoint
presentation reflecting concerns that have arisen due, t, the expansion of the
Crossvines and newly planned garden homes. Issues are blind spots on certain streets
and no stop signs or speed bumps to slow speeders Also, with the soon to be
groundbreaking of the New Rose Garden Elementary SehoQ1, this will be the third
school within two miles and will most likely add to an' already overall congested
traffic problem, inadequate lighting and flooding issues.
• Mr. Nathan Goetsch, 3126 Pencil Cholla, `whose concern is crime: He`is serving active
duty with our armed forces and is deployed for lengthy periods of timew This last time
his wife sent him reports of a variety of `smash and grab' crimes in the neighborhood.
He is concerned for the safety of his wife and small children.
• Mr. Grumpy Azzoz, 528 Wayward Pass, who 'said after listening to some of the other
citizens speak, they are not against development bui'have concerns about `security'.
He has heard concerns about safety /protection, stacking the homes, inadequate
lighting, congested traffic, overwhelmed infrastructure, "etc. These homeowners pay
taxes and are not asking for anything more than a good quality of life. If we allow
homes to be stacked, we face deterioration (like- Windcrest). This is the future of
deterioration if w do not pay attention to these issues expressed by our residents.
o Mr. Glen Outlaw, 3729 Forsyth Park, who said he made some comments about this
project two: weeks ago. He understands we have already approved two designs for the
garden homes for the Crossvine PDD. He agrees we have a need for garden homes in
this area. The ; fire departnpent was involved in approving this PDD and agreed to it
ridet certain conditions and those conditions were not present in the proposed PDD to
you for approval. Ile just wants to make sure Council understands there are still issues
that need to be solved,bfore it comes back to them for approval.
o Ms. Rosemary endrix;,3017 Turquoise, who said they want to find out if there is a
law about easements or how far the clearance is from the roadway to the stop sign. She
wants staff to check into this. She said in the future they also want to be able to
communicate to the correct department(s) about various issues. Lastly, she expressed
concerns about ADA requirements and if they are still being included and enforced in
the development plans. She feels they are gradually getting away from this.
o Patty Cullum, 9025 Peridot, who asked who inspects the amenities when they are
built. Their pool facility does not have an ADA access feature to enter the facility nor
a special area for disabled residents to enter the pool. They have quite a few residents
living in the neighborhood who are disabled.
Mayor Carpenter invited City staff to come back to the podium and address any of the
questions brought forward tonight by the public hearing speakers. Executive Director
Brian James and Director of Planning & Community Development Lesa Wood
provided additional information and addressed comments regarding the residents'
concerns and also answered various questions from Council.

Mayor Carpenter summarized by saying the GH(3) is a great layout and meets the functional
needs of what a good Garden Home should offer and has more common green space between
neighbors. He has seen these units elsewhere and they work very well. As to the merits of
whether or not this zoning case should be approved he can't see a reason why we would not
rush at approving it when it is brought back to Council. This design is a good one and we
should approve it when it comes back before us.
Executive Director Brian James said we intend to do this right and take the time we need.
Staff's goal is to find win/win solutions for everyone. Sometimes it takes a bit longer to do.

the 2016 -2017 Fiscal Year
C• � 1
Ford Engineering, Inc., (FEI) was awarded a three -year agreement for On -Call Engineering Services
via Resolution 14 -R -55. The City's practice is to seek authorization from Council when expenditures
with a vendor exceed $50,000 in one fiscal year. The City has several projects coming up (outlined
below) for which professional engineering services will be required, and FEI is qualified to provide
such services.
In addition to the known projects, the Engineering and Public Works Departments have a periodic
need for engineering and /or surveying services with very limited scope. It is desired that Staff have
the ability to request consulting services to be provided and invoiced on an hourly basis as needed.
Staff wishes to contract with Ford for the following projects:
Proposed Pro'ects
Amount
Schertz Parkway Engineering
$61,095
Corbett Elevated Water Storage Tank (additional
services)
$12,875
Engineering Services related to Elevated Storage
Tank Painting
$38,030
Miscellaneous Tasks
$50,000
The total of known, proposed projects equals $112,000. Staff is requesting approval for expenditures
totaling no more than $162,000 to allow for the City to contract with FEI for the known proposed
projects and to have the ability to contract with Ford for up to an additional $50,000 for unexpected
minor consulting tasks that may arise during this fiscal year.
GOAL
To obtain authorization from City Council to contract with FEI to provide professional engineering
and/or surveying services in an amount not to exceed $162,000 during the 2016 -2017 Fiscal Year.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that Council authorize the use of Ford for engineering and surveying services as
needed for the 201.6 -2017 Fiscal Year in an amount not to exceed $162,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are budgeted and available for the not -to- exceed amount of $112,000 for the known proposed

Agenda No. 8
CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting: February 7, 2017
Department: City Manager
Subject: Resolution No. 17 -R -08 — A Resolution by
the City Council of the City of Schertz,
Texas authorizing the City Manager to
negotiate for the purchase of land for Fire
Station 3
BACKGROUND
In early 2015, as a part of the City's Facility Master Plan, a study was conducted to determine a
costing program for Fire Station 3 and to determine the most appropriate location to provide the
greatest enhancement to overall response times.
The site location analysis recommendation came from the ISO Based Fire Station Location study
performed by Mr. Mike Pietsch, P.E., a sub - consultant of Facilities Master Plan consultant WH7
Architects who did the programing and costing estimates.
The ISO study identified the preferred locations of future fire stations, the probable sequence of
construction, and three possible locations to be evaluated within the general location of the next
station to be constructed (FS #3).
As part of the ISO study, Mr. Pietsch, P.E. evaluated three different parcels of land on a variety
of factors including site layout, utility accessibility and availability, drainage and flooding issues,
emergency travel routes, and options for safely entering into normal traffic.
The preferred site identified in this review would allow multiple options for site layout, had all
utilities on site or across the street, no flooding concerns and allowed for emergency response
vehicles to enter traffic several hundred feet before encountering F.M. 1.518. In preparing for the
purchase of this land, the City has obtained an appraisal to guide the overall negotiation process.
After the financing for Fire Station 3 was approved by the voters in November 2015, . work began
on selecting an architectural firm and a preliminary design was developed. This has been
accomplished and we are prepared to move forward in acquiring the land for this new building.
Council Action.
Staff is seeking authorization from the City Council to negotiate a final location and price for the
location of Fire Station #3. If so authorized, Staff would send an offer letter to the property
owner seeking to reach agreement on the purchase of a particular tract of land at a particular
price.
If accepted by the property owner, the City would then enter a due diligence period where we
would prepare an exact survey, perform an environmental phase 1 evaluation, and perform initial
Geo -Tech testing of the soils in order to reach a final agreement on the purchase of the property.
Therefore, Staff is seeking to authorization to negotiate the purchase of approximately 4.5 acres
land on the north side of Lower Seguin Road approximately 1,200 feet west of F.M. 1518 with a
general value conforming to an appraised value for land by a certified land appraiser conforming
to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and Title XI Regulations and related
standards.
Community Benefit
The construction of Fire Station 3 will improve the overall response capabilities of Schertz
Fire /Rescue. This will be most notable in areas of Schertz south of F.M. 78, but this addition
will improve responses all across the City.
The land we are proposing to purchase will place this new station in a location that will
maximize the exposure to our citizens and will allow for safe ingress and egress for years to
come.
Summary of Recommended Action
City staff recommends that City Council approve Resolution 17 — R — 08 authorizing the City
Manager to enter into negotiations to purchase approximately 4.5 acres of land on the north side
of Lower Seguin Road and west of F.M. 1518 as the site for Fire Station 3. Once a price has
been agreed upon and due diligence is completed, staff will return to Council to approve the
purchase of the actual land site.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based upon the appraisal recently completed, we anticipate the purchase price to be within the
scope of the budget. These funds will come from funding identified within the TIRZ agreement
or from the voter approved GO bonds for Fire Station 3.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 17 -R -08.

City Council Memorandum

Summary of Recommended Action
The Sector Plan amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) designates the subject
property as part of Historic Downtown Schertz. The objectives for Historic Downtown Schertz
are to leverage Schertz's history and heritage to create a unique destination with local
independent businesses, encouraging the use of existing buildings. The Main Street Mixed Use
District (MSMU) was created to help achieve these objectives and is intended to provide a base
zoning district to the area along Main Street. In light of the history of the area and variety of land
uses that exist, this zoning district allows for both single - family residential uses and low intensity
commercial uses. Reduced setbacks and parking requirements are provided as part of this district
due to physical constraints in the Main Street area.
• Comprehensive Land Plan Goals and Objectives: The proposed rezoning request is
generally in conformance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed zone change will provide for either single family or low intensity commercial.
occupancy.
• Impact on Infrastructure: The proposed zoning request should have a minimal impact on
the existing and planned water and wastewater systems.
• Impact on Public Facilities /Services: The proposed rezoning request should have no
impact on public services, such as schools, fire, police, parks and sanitation services.
• Compatibility with Existing and Potential Adjacent Land Uses: The subject property is
currently surrounded by single family land uses. The Main Street Mixed -Use District
(MSMU) will allow for either low intensity commercial or single - family residential uses.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies this area as Historic Downtown Schertz which is
intended to leverage Schertz's history and heritage to create a unique destination with local
independent businesses, encouraging the use of existing buildings. The rezoning request appears
to have a minimal impact on the public infrastructure, facilities or services and is consistent with
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and compatible with the surrounding land uses.
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property for the current Single - Family Residential
District -2 (R -2) to Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU), to allow for low intensity
commercial land uses that are permitted in the Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU).
Based on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and surrounding land uses the Main Street Mixed
Use District (MSMU) is the most appropriate zoning district for this tract of land. Staff
recommends approval of the rezoning application as submitted.

GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION: The subject property is generally located 290 feet northeast
of the intersection of Main Street and Randolph Ave. The site is currently designed to be used as an office
building, but is unoccupied.
PROPOSED ZONING: The request is to rezone approximately 1 acre of land from Single - Family Residential
District(R -2) to Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU) in order to allow a commercial use.
CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Sector Plan amendment to the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan (CLOP) designates the subject property as part of Historic Downtown Schertz. The objectives
for Historic Downtown Schertz are to leverage Schertz's history and heritage to create a unique destination with
local independent businesses, encouraging the use of existing buildings. The Main Street Mixed -Use District
(MSMU) was created to help achieve these objectives. The Main Street Mixed -Use District (MSMU) is intended
to provide a base zoning district to the area along Main Street. In light of the history of the area and variety of
land uses that exist, this zoning district allows for both single - family residential uses and low intensity
commercial uses. Reduced setbacks and parking requirements are provided as part of this district due to
physical constraints.
• Comprehensive Plan Goals and Objectives: The proposed rezoning request is generally in
conformance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. In particular, the proposed
zone change will provide for either single family or low intensity commercial occupancy.
• Impact of Infrastructure: The proposed rezoning request should have a minimal impact on the existing
water and wastewater systems.
• Impact of Public Facilities /Services: The proposed rezoning request will have a no impact on public
services, such as schools, fire, police, parks and sanitation services.
• Compatibility with Existing and Potential Adjacent Land Uses: The subject property is currently
surrounded by single family land uses. The Main Street Mixed -Use District (MSMU) will allow for either
low intensity commercial or single - family residential.
STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: The Comprehensive Land Use Plan identifies this area as
Historic Downtown Schertz which is intended to leverage Schertz's history and heritage to create a unique
destination with local independent businesses, encouraging the use of existing buildings. The rezoning request
appears to have a minimal impact on the public infrastructure, facilities or services and is consistent with the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and compatible with the surrounding land uses.
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property for the current single - Family Residential District -2 (R -2) to
Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU), to allow for low intensity commercial land uses that are permitted in the
Main Street Mixed Use District (MSMU).
Based on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and surrounding land uses the Main Street Mixed Use District
(MSMU) is the most appropriate zoning district for this tract of land. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning
application as submitted.

Department: Planning & Community Development
Subject: Ordinance No. 17 -A -08 — Consideration .
and /or action approving an Ordinance
regarding the annexation of approximately
63 acres of land, located about 600 feet
north of I -1.0 at 7424 Trainer Hale Road,
Bexar County, Texas. (First Reading)
BACKGROUND
Annexation is the act of incorporating land into the City. Annexation of land into the City's
corporate limits may be voluntary or involuntary. Each type has Local Government Code
requirements that identifies the necessary process based on the annexation type. The City's
Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 21.4.8 includes provisions that apply to requests for
voluntary annexation meeting certain criteria.
Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority (CCMA) submitted a petition for voluntary annexation to the
City of Schertz for an approximate 63 acre tract of land. The subject property is located
approximately 600 feet north of I -1.0 and is located in Bexar County Texas, at 7424 Trainer Hale
Road. Currently, the subject property is in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of
Schertz and within the Schertz - Cibolo- Universal Independent School District boundaries.
City Council accepted CCMA's petition for voluntary annexation of the subject site and adopted
Resolution 1.6 -R -92 on December 1.3, 2016, . which initiated the process to annex and zone the
property. A separate zoning request is being processed concurrent with this proposed annexation
case.
CCMA is planning on constructing a waste water treatment plant on the subject property. In
2014, CCMA requested annexation of approximately 69 acres of land located immediately north .
of the subject property. The City annexed the property in 2015 by Ordinance 15 -A -01 and zoned
the site Public Use District. CCMA intends to use the approximate 69 acre site as a natural
buffer.
Goal
Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority petitioned for voluntary annexation into the City of Schertz
because of their desire to be located within the Schertz city limits.
