Emergency Gate – Berry Creek Subdivision-Discussion and/or action approving the recommendation to convert Emergency Gate to Exit Only Gate in Berry Creek Subdivision. (L. Dublin) Mayor Baldwin recognized City Engineer Larry Dublin who introduced this item stating this item has been discussed several times at TSAC meetings. The item was first brought up at the December 4, 2003 meeting. The TSAC Chairman at the time, Mr. Allen, along with a Berry Creek HOA representative, brought to the attention of the TSAC board members the increasing difficulty and dangerousness the Berry Creek residents are experiencing when trying to turn out of the subdivision onto FM 3009. The Police Chief at the time, Chief Cantrell, suggested a traffic study be performed. A traffic study was not performed, and the next time this item came back to TSAC was at the September 4, 2008 meeting. Berry Creek HOA President Lisa Sidbury brought this issue to the board members attention again and City Engineer, Larry 2-3-09 Minutes Page -2 - Dublin, recommended that a traffic study be performed on Hillview Lane for seven days, with the gate being open from 5am – 9pm. Ms. Sidbury said she would have to meet with her HOA to get the approval to do the traffic study. Ms. Sidbury returned at the November 6, 2008 meeting and reported that the majority of the homeowners were interested in converting the gate and to go ahead with the traffic study. A traffic study was conducted from November 16-22, 2008 and the results were to be discussed at the December 2008 TSAC meeting. A letter was sent to the Woodland Oaks HOA President, Mr. Will Brown, letting him know of the traffic study and Woodland Oaks sent back a petition expressing their concerns and their statement that the emergency gate not be converted. At the December 2008 meeting, Mr. Dublin briefed the Commission on the results of the traffic study that showed that 34 cars exited the open gate a day with an average of four cars per hour. Sam Willoughby suggested that the item be tabled until the January 2009 meeting so a representative from Woodland Oaks HOA could be present to hear the discussion. At the January meeting, the Commission heard from Mr. Dublin again, as well as a representative from Berry Creek HOA and Mr. Brown, Woodland Oaks HOA President. After discussion, Mr. Dublin’s recommendation was to convert the emergency gate to an exit gate and to take the item to Council. With a 4-3 vote, the Commission agreed with Mr. Dublin’s recommendation and a motion was made to take the item to Council. A five-day traffic study was recently performed from January 16-21, 2009 on Woodland Oaks Drive to monitor the traffic on that road. Mayor Baldwin recognized Councilmember Trayhan who asked if there was consideration of placing a stop sign at Mossy Lane if the exit opened. Mr. Dublin answered “yes” and he would recommend a speed limit sign be placed there as well. Councilmember’s Trayhan, Scagliola, Fowler and Wilenchik stated concerns regarding Woodland Oaks and Berry Creek HOA’S not talking to each other, Berry Creek HOA not getting 100% vote of their homeowners for the Gate exit issue. Councilmembers also expressed concerns that Berry Creek HOA needs to look at their by-laws and covenants.

He stated if a decision were made to put sidewalks on both sides of 3009 would the City be entertaining an Immanent Domain condemnation to take private property. Ms. Mitchell stated under the current UDC sidewalks are required which includes state highways. As she understood it when 3009 came in, sidewalks were not included because of the safety issues.

Use. (a) LESSEE shall use the Leased Property for the purpose of constructing, maintaining, and operating a communications facility (as described in Section 5(b) (i), (ii), and (iii) below) and any and all uses incidental thereto, which may also include a security fence of chain link or comparable construction that may, at the option of LESSEE, be placed around the perimeter of the Leased Parcel (collectively, the “Communications Facility”). LESSEE shall not replace, change, or add any of the equipment listed on Exhibit “C” without LESSOR’s prior written consent. Such consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. LESSOR grants LESSEE the right to use such portions of LESSOR’s contiguous, adjoining or surrounding property as described on Exhibit “A” hereto (the “Surrounding Property”), as are reasonably required during construction and installation of the Communications Facility. LESSEE shall maintain the Leased Property in a reasonable condition and shall be solely responsible for the repair and maintenance of all of LESSEE’s improvements on the Leased 50153059.1 Lessor Site Name: 1057 Live Oak Road Lessee Site Name: Schertz WT Lessee Site ID: SA25XC089A 3 Property, excluding repair and maintenance due to the willful misconduct or negligence of LESSOR, its employees, agents, contractors, licensees, or lessees (other than LESSEE). (b) The Leased Parcel and positions on the Tower shall be used for, and LESSOR agrees that LESSEE is authorized to perform, the construction, installation, maintenance and operation, all at LESSEE’s sole expense, of the following improvements, radio or microwave equipment, antennas and other associated transmission lines and equipment: (i) Wireless antenna systems and associated equipment to be mounted on the Tower and in the 149’ foot range on the Tower, such type of systems, equipment, and range as stipulated in the attached Exhibit “C” of this Agreement.

(c) LESSEE must complete all construction within six (6) months after execution of this Agreement, and LESSEE’s failure to complete all construction in the time prescribed in this section shall be grounds for LESSOR to terminate this Agreement. 6. Governmental Approvals. LESSEE’s ability to use the Leased Property is contingent upon its obtaining and maintaining in effect all certificates, permits, licenses and other approvals that may be required by any governmental authorities. LESSOR shall cooperate reasonably with LESSEE in its effort to obtain and maintain in effect such certificates, permits, licenses, and other approvals. In furtherance thereof, LESSOR agrees to sign such papers as are required to file applications with the appropriate zoning authority and other governmental authorities for the the proper zoning of the Leased Property and for other certificates, permits, licenses and approvals as are required for the use of the Leased Property as intended by LESSEE. LESSEE will perform all other acts and bear all expenses associated with any zoning or other procedure necessary to obtain any certificate, permit, license, or approval for the Leased Property deemed necessary by LESSEE. LESSOR agrees not to register any written or verbal opposition to any such procedures. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, LESSEE is unable to use the Leased Property for LESSEE’s Communications Facility due to imposed zoning conditions or requirements, or in the event that any necessary certificate, permit, license, or approval is finally rejected or any previously issued certificate, permit, license, or approval is canceled, expires, lapses, or is otherwise withdrawn or terminated by the applicable governmental authority, or any structural analyses, subsurface boring tests, environmental inspections, radio frequency tests, or other investigations are found to be unsatisfactory so that LESSEE will be unable to use the Leased Property for LESSEE’s Communications Facility, LESSEE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to LESSOR. In such case, LESSOR shall retain all rentals paid to LESSOR prior to the termination date. Upon such termination, LESSOR and LESSEE shall have no other further obligations to each other, other 50153059.1 Lessor Site Name: 1057 Live Oak Road Lessee Site Name: Schertz WT Lessee Site ID: SA25XC089A 4 than LESSEE’s obligation to remove its property as hereinafter provided. 7. Interference. (a) LESSOR acknowledges and agrees that it will not permit the installation of any additional antennas or equipment on the Tower or at the Tower Site, or the relocation of any existing antennas or equipment installed on the Tower or at the Tower Site, if such installation or relocation would adversely affect LESSEE’s space on the Tower or LESSEE’s operation, use, or enjoyment of its Communications Facility, taking into account customary and commercially reasonable practices for multi-LESSEE wireless communication sites and towers thereon. (b) LESSOR shall not, and shall not permit any licensee, lessee, sub-lessee or other user of the Tower (collectively, other than LESSEE, “Other Lessees”), to (i) install or change, alter or improve the frequency, power, or type of any communications equipment that interferes with the operation of LESSEE’s Communications Facility or is not authorized by, or violates, applicable Laws (hereinafter defined) or is not made or installed in accordance with good engineering practices, or (ii) implement a configuration which interferes with the operation of LESSEE’s Communications Facility. (c) In the event of any interference occurring at the Tower Site as a result of any actions of LESSOR or any Other Lessees described in Section 7(b) above, LESSOR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such interference problems, including, without limitation, using its best efforts to correct and eliminate the interference within fortyeight (48) hours of receipt by LESSOR of notification from LESSEE and, if requested by LESSOR, LESSEE shall perform at its expense an interference study in accordance with industry-standard procedures and practices. If interference is confirmed and the interference cannot be corrected or eliminated within such 48-hour period, LESSOR shall cause any of LESSOR’s or its Other Lessees’ communications equipment that interferes with the operation of LESSEE’s Communications Facility or LESSEE’s authorized frequency spectrum or signal strength, to be immediately powered down or turned off, with the right to turn such interfering equipment back up or on only during off-peak hours specified by LESSEE in order to determine whether such interference continues or has been eliminated; provided, however, that if any interference continues at the time the interfering equipment is powered down, the communications equipment that interferes with the operation of LESSEE’s Communications Facility shall be turned off. If LESSOR or any such Other Lessee cannot correct or eliminate, to the reasonable satisfaction of LESSEE, such interference within twenty (20) days of receipt by LESSOR of written notice from LESSEE, LESSOR shall or shall cause such Other Lessee to cease the operations of the objectionable communications equipment and to stop providing services from the Tower Site until the interference problems are resolved; provided, however, that if LESSOR does not timely cease or cause such Other Lessee to cease such operations, LESSEE may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to LESSOR, and LESSOR shall reimburse LESSEE for the pro-rata portion of prepaid rent for the remainder of such year. (d) LESSEE shall not (i) install or change, alter or improve the frequency, power, or type of any communications equipment that interferes with the operation of LESSOR’s 50153059.1 Lessor Site Name: 1057 Live Oak Road Lessee Site Name: Schertz WT Lessee Site ID: SA25XC089A 5 or any existing Other Lessee’s existing communications equipment installed at the Tower Site or is not authorized by, or violates, applicable Laws or is not made or installed in accordance with good engineering practices, or (ii) implement a configuration which interferes with the operation of LESSOR’s or any existing Other Lessee’s existing communications equipment installed at the Tower Site. (e) In the event of any interference occurring at the Tower Site as a result of any actions of LESSEE described in Section 8(d) above, LESSEE shall be responsible for coordinating and resolving any such interference problems caused by LESSEE, including, without limitation, using its best efforts to correct and eliminate the interference within fortyeight (48) hours of receipt of notification from LESSOR. If the interference cannot be corrected or eliminated within such 48-hour period, LESSEE shall cause any of LESSEE’s communications equipment that interferes with the operation of LESSOR’s or any Other Lessee’s communications equipment or their authorized frequency spectrum or signal strength, to be immediately powered down or turned off, with the right to turn such interfering equipment back up or on only during off-peak hours specified by LESSOR in order to determine whether such interference continues or has been eliminated; provided, however, that if any interference continues at the time the interfering equipment is powered down, the communications equipment that interferes with the operation of LESSOR’s or any Other Lessee’s communications equipment shall be turned off. If LESSEE cannot correct or eliminate, to the satisfaction of LESSOR, such interference within twenty (20) days of receipt of written notice from LESSOR, LESSEE shall cease the operations of the objectionable communications equipment and stop providing services from its Communications Facility until the interference problems are resolved. If LESSEE determines that such interference cannot be corrected or eliminated by commercially reasonable measures, then either LESSOR or LESSEE may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other. (f) As used herein, “Laws” means all federal, state, county, municipal and other governmental constitutions, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, resolutions, rules, requirements and directives and all decisions, judgments, writs, injunctions, orders, decrees or demands of courts, administrative bodies and other authorities (including, without limitation, the Federal Communications Commission) construing any of the foregoing. 8. Maintenance and Repair. (a) LESSOR represents and warrants that its operation of the Tower and the Tower Site (exclusive of LESSEE’s Communications Facility), including the lighting systems, meets and will be maintained in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and all applicable local codes and regulations.

LESSEE is solely responsible for the licensing, operation, and maintenance of LESSEE’s Communication Facility, including, without limitation, compliance with any terms of its FCC license. 50153059.1 Lessor Site Name: 1057 Live Oak Road Lessee Site Name: Schertz WT Lessee Site ID: SA25XC089A 6 (b) The costs of maintaining the Tower and the Tower Site (exclusive of LESSEE’s Communication Facility) shall be borne by LESSOR or a party other than LESSEE. 9. Taxes. LESSEE shall be responsible for making any necessary returns for and paying any and all personal property taxes separately levied or assessed against LESSOR or LESSEE relating to LESSEE’s interest in the Leased Property or LESSEE’s facilities or the improvements constructed or installed by LESSEE on the Leased Property. Taxes are not to be considered as additional rent, but rather as reimbursement to LESSOR and to be separately billed. LESSEE shall pay for any documented increase in ad valorem real estate taxes levied against the Leased Property which are directly attributable to the improvements constructed by LESSEE on the Leased Property and are not separately levied or assessed by the taxing authorities against LESSEE or the improvements of LESSEE. LESSOR shall pay all other ad valorem real property taxes levied against the Leased Property on or before the date such taxes become delinquent. LESSOR hereby agrees that if the taxes which are levied against LESSOR and LESSEE’s improvements on LESSOR’s property are incorrectly assessed, LESSEE maintains the right to appeal the tax assessment to the appropriate governmental authority, which appeal shall be paid for by LESSEE. 10. Insurance. (a) LESSEE agrees to secure, at its sole cost and expense, prior to commencing any activities under this Agreement, and to maintain, with respect to the Leased Property from the execution date of this Agreement and for the duration of this Agreement and any extensions thereof, a policy or policies of insurance, with companies admitted to do business in the State of Texas, in the following types and amounts: (i) covering its personal property located on the Leased Property and LESSEE’s improvements to the Leased Property, providing protection against any peril included under insurance industry practices within the classification “fire and extended coverage,” providing protection as deemed desirable by LESSEE with respect to its personal property and to the full insurable value of LESSEE’s improvements; (ii) commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 for injury to or death of one or more persons in any one occurrence and $2,000,000 for damage to or destruction of properties in any one occurrence; and (iii) Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability insurance with minimum limits of $500,000 in any one occurrence.

If LESSOR, at any time during the initial or any extended term of this Agreement, decides to sell, subdivide or rezone any of the Leased Property, the Tower or any part of LESSOR’s Surrounding Property utilized by LESSEE pursuant to this Agreement, to a purchaser other than LESSEE, LESSOR shall promptly notify LESSEE in writing, and such sale, subdivision or rezoning shall be subject to this Agreement and LESSEE’s rights hereunder. LESSOR shall not initiate or consent to any change in the zoning of the Leased Property or LESSOR’s Surrounding Property utilized by LESSEE pursuant 50153059.1 Lessor Site Name: 1057 Live Oak Road Lessee Site Name: Schertz WT Lessee Site ID: SA25XC089A 9 to this Agreement or impose or consent to any other restriction that would prevent or limit LESSEE from using the Leased Property as set forth in this Agreement. LESSOR agrees not to sell, lease or use any areas of LESSOR’s Surrounding Property for the installation, operation or maintenance of other wireless communications facilities if such installation, operation or maintenance will interfere with LESSEE’s facilities or communications equipment as determined by radio propagation tests performed by LESSEE in its reasonable discretion. LESSEE and LESSOR (or LESSOR’s prospective purchaser) shall share the cost of such testing equally. If the radio frequency propagation tests demonstrate levels of interference unacceptable, in accordance with accepted industry standards, LESSOR shall be prohibited from selling, leasing or using any areas of LESSOR’s Surrounding Property for purposes of any installation, operation or maintenance of any other wireless communications facility or equipment. LESSOR shall not be prohibited from the selling, leasing or use of any of LESSOR’s Surrounding Property for nonwireless communication use. The provisions of this Section 13 shall in no way limit or impair the obligations of LESSOR under Section 7 above. 14. Assignment; Sublease. (a) LESSEE shall not transfer or assign this Agreement or LESSEE’S interest in or to the Leased Property or any part thereof without having first obtained the prior written consent of LESSOR, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to and shall not prevent the assignment of this Agreement to an affiliate of LESSEE or to any entity with which LESSEE may merge or consolidate or which may succeed to a controlling interest in the business of LESSEE. LESSEE shall provide LESSOR with prior written notice of any such proposed assignment and shall provide LESSOR with evidence satisfactory to LESSOR that such assignment satisfies the requirements of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for so long as any pledge or collateral assignment of LESSEE'S interest in the Agreement shall be by instrument substantially in such form as shall have previously been approved by LESSOR, the consent of LESSOR to such pledge or collateral assignment may be given by LESSOR. (b) LESSEE shall not sublet the Leased Property herein leased or any part thereof without having first obtained the written consent of LESSOR. In the event LESSEE requests permission to sublease, the request shall be submitted to LESSOR at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the sublease requested and shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed sublease agreements and of all agreements collateral thereto. The identity of the sublessee, the area or space to be subleased, the rental to be charged, the type of business to be conducted, reasonable financial history, and all other information requested by LESSOR shall be specified. LESSEE shall not sublease an aggregate total of more than 50% of the Leased Property. If such limit is exceeded, LESSOR shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days written notice, to recapture the space described in the sublease, and terminate the entire Agreement on the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. (c) In the event of a sublease where the rental value established in the sublease exceeds the rental value established in the Agreement, LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR as additional rent the excess of the rental received from the sublessee over that specified to be paid by LESSEE herein, provided that LESSEE may charge a reasonable fee for administrative costs in addition to the sublease rental not to exceed 15% of the specified sublease rental. Such 50153059.1 Lessor Site Name: 1057 Live Oak Road Lessee Site Name: Schertz WT Lessee Site ID: SA25XC089A 10 15% shall not be considered as excess rental. Nothing herein shall prevent LESSEE from charging a reasonable fee to others for the use of capital equipment and facilities on the subleased premises and charging for use of utilities and other services being paid for by LESSEE. The provisions of this paragraph will apply if the rental received for the proportionate area of the Leased Property by LESSEE exceeds the rental paid to LESSOR for said proportionate area of the Leased Property. (d) Each transfer, assignment or subletting to which there has been consent by LESSOR shall be by instrument in writing, in form satisfactory to LESSOR, and shall be executed by the transferee, assignee, or sublessee who shall agree in writing for the benefit of LESSOR to be bound by and to perform the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement. Three (3) executed copies of such written instrument shall be delivered to LESSOR. Failure to first obtain in writing LESSOR’s consent or failure to comply with the provisions herein contained shall operate to prevent any such transfer, assignment, or subletting from becoming effective. (e) Should there be an assignment of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 14 (a) of this Agreement, and to the extent that such assignee assumes LESSEE's obligations hereunder, LESSEE shall by virtue of such assignment be released from such obligation. Should the subletting of the Leased Property be approved by LESSOR, however, LESSEE agrees and acknowledges that LESSEE shall remain fully and primarily liable under this Agreement, notwithstanding any such sublease and that any such sublessee shall be required to attorn to LESSOR under the terms of this Agreement. (f) The receipt by LESSOR of rent from an assignee, sublessee, or occupant of the Leased Property shall not be deemed a waiver of the covenant in this Agreement against assignment and subletting or an acceptance of the assignee, sublessee, or occupant as a LESSEE or a release of LESSEE from further observance or performance by LESSEE of the covenants contained in this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by LESSOR unless such waiver is in writing, signed by LESSOR. 15. Casualty. (a) If LESSEE’s Communications Facility or improvements are damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, LESSEE shall not be required to repair or replace the Communications Facility or any of LESSEE’s improvements made by LESSEE, and LESSEE may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to LESSOR. Termination shall be effective immediately after such notice is given. Upon such termination, this Agreement shall become null and void, and LESSOR and LESSEE shall have no other further obligations to each other hereunder, other than LESSEE’s obligation to remove its property as hereinafter provided. (b) In the event the Tower (excluding any damage the repair of which is required to be completed by LESSEE’s of the Tower) is damaged to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the cost of replacement thereof (whether or not the Leased Property is damaged) and such damage (i) occurs during the last two years of the Term (taking into account 50153059.1 Lessor Site Name: 1057 Live Oak Road Lessee Site Name: Schertz WT Lessee Site ID: SA25XC089A 11 any extensions of the Term by LESSEE in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of LESSOR, cannot reasonably be repaired or restored within a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following commencement of such repair or restoration using standard working methods and procedures, or (iii) is not, or would not have been, covered by a standard fire and extended coverage insurance policy, or (iv) is compensable with insurance proceeds all or a significant portion of which is required to be paid to LESSOR’s mortgagee in reduction of the indebtedness secured by any Mortgage encumbering the Tower or Tower Site, LESSOR shall have the right and option, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement upon the delivery of notice thereof to LESSEE within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction. If such notice is given, LESSOR agrees to use its reasonable efforts to permit LESSEE to place temporary transmission facilities at an alternative location acceptable to LESSEE until such time as LESSEE is able to secure a replacement transmission location for the Leased Property. If LESSOR elects to rebuild the Tower, LESSOR agrees to use its reasonable efforts to permit LESSEE to place temporary transmission facilities at an alternative location acceptable to LESSEE until such time as the rebuilding is completed. In any case, LESSEE agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with LESSOR’s efforts to rebuild the Tower. If, for any reason, LESSOR does not complete the rebuilding within two hundred and seventy (270) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction, LESSEE shall have the right and option, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement upon the delivery of written notice thereof to LESSOR. 16. Hazardous Substances. LESSOR warrants, represents and agrees that (i) to the best of LESSOR’s knowledge, no third party has used, generated, stored, or disposed of any Hazardous Materials in, on or under the Leased Leased Property, and (ii) LESSOR will use commercially reasonable efforts not to permit any third party to use, generate, store, or dispose of any Hazardous Materials in, on, or under the Tower Site in violation of any law or regulation. “Hazardous Materials” shall mean petroleum or any petroleum product, asbestos, and any other substance, chemical, or waste that is identified as hazardous, toxic, or dangerous in any applicable Federal, State, or Local law, rule, regulation, order, or ordinance. LESSEE acknowledges and agrees that LESSOR and LESSOR’s predecessors have used and maintained, and LESSOR shall continue to use and maintain on LESSOR’s Property, the chemicals and substances, specifically Chlorine, a known Hazardous Material, that LESSOR uses to treat water and maintain its water production, treatment, and storage facilities thereon.

Peterson Blvd). First Reading Background: • Planning staff met with the applicant and discussed the purpose of this request. The applicant would like to make the General Business Zoning deeper to allow for appropriate traffic flow and space for the proposed businesses. The applicant is still considering how he might develop the remaining 35.42 acres realizing he has the Dietz Creek and its Floodway to consider. • The Zoning exhibit reflects a proposed 120-foot right-of-way that is identified on our Master Thoroughfare Plan meant to extend FM-3009 to IH-10. This extension has been determined by the City that is not economically feasible and would impact several residents, the Sewer Treatment plant (CCMA) and would require bridges over the Dietz Creek.

Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map identifies this area to be developed commercial. Project Review & Action: This is a request to change the zoning from R-2 to GB. Staff has reviewed this request for consistency with existing City Codes and Ordinances.

The requested change is in keeping with the Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City Council; 2. There has been environmental and/or economical changes which warrant a change since its original zoning; 3. Granting of the request would not create an incompatible use different from the surrounding property or show favor to the property under consideration for rezoning; and City Council Memorandum Page 3 Item 5.doc 4. There is an error in the original zoning of the property for which a change is requested.
