Chair Davis recognized Mr. Dean Weirtz, Vice Chair pf' the Historical Preservation
Committee who provided information from the Historical"Presertion. Committee regarding
Schertz Main Street Static Display Proposal. The purposed of the project is to establish, via
landscape design and transformation, aunique and hitorical entry scenout three entry points
bordering the City's historical business district along the 500 block of Maiii Street. 1st Street,
Randolph. Blvd, and Lindburg Avenue.
Three City streets are gateways into the 500 block ofMain'Street. One is Lindberg Ave which
approaches Main Street from the North as it exits one of the City designated "Schertz Heritage
Neighborhoods (Aviation Heights.; mother is Aviation" Ave that intersects Main Street from
the South and proceeds north into Aviation Heights after crossing Main Street. Both Lindburg
Ave. and Aviation Ave. possess a similaf -bb, evard feature in the form of a cement divider
element that occupies space the length of the city block. The length and width of the Lindburg
Ave. divider feature measures 1.20 ft. xA5 ft. The' length, and width of the Randolph divider
feature is 168 ft. x 11 A,,; narrowing to ' three feet at the last ten feet of the divider as it
approaches Main Street. Bioth street dividers are without decor and partly overrun with weeds
and /or discoloration. First Street dead -ends at main Street's 500 Block and comprises a short
roadway approach to Main Street from FM 7K, The east curbside area between First Street and
an adjacent parking to t m'eagure� 93R., x 4. ft running south to north and 73 ft. x 4 ft. running
west to east. Both of these curbside areas are overrun with weeds and debris.
The proposed project would seek to ;decor each divider space and First Street curbside with
maintenance free materials ant' conic artifacts that would serve as beacons of historic
importance, announcing the districts special place within the City's historic past. It would
entail 'landscaping each divider area and the First Street curbside surface area using
maintenate free artificial turf product (Sport Turf). Placed atop the artificial turf at
strategically selected intervals would be two iconic historic elements in the form of statuary
and/or artifacts. 'Placed between these historic artifacts would be oversized decorative planter
containers with flowering drought resistant shrubs most suitable for Texas summer heat
conditions. This project would fulfill the recommendations of two 2012 study teams
(Gateway) with regards to street -side entry enhancements to the City's historic center city.
The project will serve to advance the educational goals of the Historical Preservation
Committee by providing a daily reminder to motorists that the community has a meaningful
history even amidst the ever - growing urban development efforts throughout the area. Mr.
Weirtz provided a Project budget. (Schertz Main Street Static Display Proposal attached)

bronze status, i.e., Indian, Aviator, Buffalo and include larger planters. Members discussed
this in great length. Members discussed this use of HOT funds for funding of this project on a
larger scale.
Assistant City Manager Brian James suggested a possible plan would be to utilize popup
planters that could be installed within a month. See how this work and what feedback we will
get from citizens on this. Use this as an interim project, until we cri get permanently what we
want as we work through the plans.
Chair Davis stated in conclusion for takeaways from this item- (l) Historical Preservation
Committee come back with a suggested list of statuary; (2) city co r back with a clarification
on what can go on the medians and what right -of vay issues we have and recommended
samples of planters (industrial style planters).

shrubs (i.e. Lantana, etc.) most suitable for Texas summer heat conditions (see images at
Attachment #4).
The improvement in the appearance of key city center entry ways can only enhance the since of
pride among citizens and impress non-residents with the City's regard for its historic beginnings.
This project will provide a means by which the City's heritage and history can be enhanced in
the psyche of its residents and among those visiting the community, The roadway d6cor
enhancement will aid with community development in a way that features awareness of the areas
earliest inhabitants (Native American Indians) and an appreciation for the legacy and heritage
left by its early settlers.
The project would fulfill the recommendations of two 2012 study teams (Gateway) with regards
to street-side entry enhancements to the City's historic center city.
This xroect will serve to advance the educational goals of the Historical Preservation Committe*
by providing a daily reminder to motorists that the community has a meaningful history even
amidst the ever growing urban development efforts throughout the area.
The placement of the project immediately beside and in front of the City's most historic
buildings will draw needed attention to those buildings and support the notion that these
structures are of vital importance to the preservation of the City's architectural, business and
governing history.
