(Manufactured Home) to GB (General Business). (ZC #157 -98)
Steve Simonson commented that as previously stated, notices were sent out, and two were
returned in favor of the request. Steve Simonson commented that there is no residential
community around the area effecting the rezoning.
Ernie Evans asked what is the reason for the increase in depth and was advised that with the
expansion of FM78 those lots will not be as commercially viable, and the depth will support the
parking.
With no further discussion, Keith Van Dine moved to forward recommending approval to the
City Council on the request from ARC (Affordable Residential Community), (Pecan Grove
Mobile Home Park) to rezone 2.109 acres SE of FM 78 from ME (Manufactured Home) to GB

Business), and to rezone 0.127 acres from GB (General Business) & R -2. Said property is
bordered east of Schertz Parkway, north of Maske Road, west of Woodland Oaks Subdivision
and south of Ashley Place Subdivision. (ZC #156 -98).
Steve Simonson stated that the owner and developer of the property are requesting to return a
portion of the property to "GB" that had previously been zoned R2, which will enhance the
business lots planned to the south of the entrance.
Ernie Evans stated that the first zoning request had been implemented the first of the year and
approved by City Council a month and half ago.
With no further discussion, David Richmond moved to forward to the City Council
recommending approval on the request from M.W. Cude Engineers, LLC to rezone 0.969 acres
from R -2 (Residential Single Family 70'x120' lots) to GB (General Business) and to rezone
0.127 acres from GB (General Business) & R -2. Said property is bordered east of Schertz

Subdivision. Keith Van Dine seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
#12 Consider And Take Appropriate Action: Request from Charles & Robin Corley, 1184
Berry Creek Drive, for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance for a rear yard setback from
20' to 11' for the construction of a large wooden deck.
(BOA #113 -98).
4
Steve Simonson stated that the construction and the layout of the house and the addition of the
deck will force the encroachment into the rear yard setback. The deck will be attached to the
main house. It will not encroach into any easements and the deck will sit far enough from the
fence on both sides and not encroach into the side yard setbacks.
Tony Moreno moved to forward recommending approval to the Board of Adjustment the request
from Charles & Robin Corley, 1184 Berry Creek Drive, for a Special Exception to the Zoning
Ordinance for a rear yard setback from 20' to 11' for the construction of a large wooden deck.
Joyce Briscoe seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
#13 Consider And Take Appropriate Action: Request from Donald & Wanda Young, 116
Webster Drive for a Special Exception to the Zoning Ordinance for an accessory building
setback from 3' to 1' for the construction of a patio cover. (BOA #114 -98).
Steve Simonson stated that a normal setback for an accessory building is 3' from any fence. This
request is to allow the patio cover not attached to the main building to built 1' from the fence
line. The patio cover will not spill over into the neighbor's yard and the layout of the cover will
not create a problem with drainage.
Ernie Evans asked what is the height of the patio cover from the ground?
Don Young stated that the patio cover will be a standard height open air cover that will be built
on the existing patio slab. The patio cover will slope into his yard, not into the neighbor's yard.
The roof will not extend over the fence, and roof material will match existing shingles on the
house roof.
Tony Moreno moved to forward recommending approval to the Board of Adjustment on the
request from Donald & Wanda Young, 116 Webster Drive for a Special Exception to the Zoning
Ordinance for an accessory building setback from 3' to 1' for the construction of a patio cover.
Gary Wallace seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
#14 Consider And Take Appropriate Action: Request from Don McCrary & Associates
for Final Plat Approval of Gardner Subdivision. (PC #380A -98).
Steve Simonson stated that one minor correction has been added: the word "zoning" as been
added to the Planning and Zoning signature block. This plat is for the "Dutch Boy Cleaners" on
FM 3009, next to the existing Shell Gas Station.
Gary Wallace moved to approve the request from Don McCrary & Associates for Final Plat
Approval of Gardner Subdivision. Keith Van Dine seconded the motion that carried
unanimously.
#15 Consider And Take Appropriate Action: Request from MBC Engineers & Associates,
Inc. for Final Plat Approval of Schlotzsky's Deli, FM3009/IH35. (PC #385 -98).
Steve Simonson stated that in accordance with the UDC for the City of Schertz this is considered
a "short plat ", it's less than 3 acres and does not require serious engineering work. For this
reason the plat is presented as a final plat.
Ernie Evans stated that the property owner for block 3, lot 1 is not labeled and needs to be part of
the final plat.
Joyce Briscoe moved to approve the request from MBC Engineers & Associates, Inc. for Final
Plat Approval of Schlotzsky's Deli, FM3009/IH35 with the correction of the owner of block 3,
lot 1 (Taco Cabana) to be labeled. Keith Van Dine seconded the motion that carried
unanimously.
#16 Consider And Take Appropriate Action: Request from Luzia Boehm, (Stone Creek
RV Park), 18905 IH35 N to rezone 39.81acres from MH/RV to MH and RV (ZC #158 -98).
Steve Simonson stated that the request is not a split of the zoning of the area, plans are to have
the mobile homes in a separate area. When the RV park was built it was not in the city limits and
there was no zoning, when the area became part of the city it was rezoned NH -i/RV Park under
the Cities old zoning ordinance, which allowed RV's to fall under the ME zoning. This request
is for the use of a portion of the existing X1H/RV zoned area for mobile homes use. The way it
was labeled at the time of platting as a RV Park, the City can not allow the usage without being
brought back requesting a change in the zoning. The request is to consider a split RV, mobile
home area without specifying existing split areas.
Joyce Briscoe asked: Will these be rental units or will the lots be owned and rented by the mobile
home owner?
Randy Hendrickson stated that the plans are to take an existing 5 acres of undeveloped area and
build mobile home sites as needed. The sites will not be used for rental mobile homes, but sites
with utilities to be used by mobile home owners.
Gary Wallace asked what is the procedure to handle this type of request? Gary Wallace was
advised it is a zoning request and a public hearing will need to be scheduled.
Steve Simonson stated that the Commission can specify MH and RV to clearly designate the RV
area or designate only the 5 acres for usage for mobile home use. The lots will meet the City's
current ordinance of (40 x 100). Steve Simonson added that the upper part of the area is the
original RV area, the lower area shown on the map was not part of the area, but since then has
been built. A drainage area separates the two areas.
After discussion on several options the Commission agreed that a master plan be submitted
showing the lots. A master plan has a checklist that would have to be followed showing the
designated lot usage for RV and mobile homes.
Randy Hendrickson stated that he is ready to cooperate with whatever needs to be done.
With no further discussion, Tony Moreno moved to schedule a public hearing on the request
from Luzia Boehm, (Stone Creek RV Park), 18905 IH35 N to rezone 39.8lacres from MH/RV to
MH and RV and requests the usage of a Master Plan as the basis for the zoning issue. Gary
Wallace seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
#17 Consider And Take Appropriate Action: Request from Continental Homes of San
Antonio, L.P. to rezone Tract 1, 26.9 acres -R -2 (Single Family Residential 70'x 120'lots) & 23.1
acres- GB (General Business) to Tract 1, R -6 (Single Family Residential 60'x120' lots) -Gated
total 50 acres and Tract 2, 25.4 acres -R -2 & 7.8 acres GB to Tract 2, R -6 -Gated total of 33.2
acres for Carolina Crossing Subdivision Units 6 —10. (ZC #159 -98).
Steve Simonson stated this is a follow on of units 6,7 and 8 for Continental Homes. Continental
Homes has optioned to purchase the property on the west side of Schertz Parkway and expand
and continue to build homes in a gated community.
Ernie Evans stated that in the road master plan for the City, the plan is for Savannah Drive to
continue across to FM 1518 however, in the document presented it shows Savannah Drive
ending at Schertz Parkway and it appears that Prairie Lane is coming across.
Steve Simonson stated that the document presented should be treated as a zoning issue not a
platting issue.
David Richmond asked if the lots on the east side are all 60 x 120 lots? David was advised that
R6 (60 x 120 lots) is the current zoning for all of Caroline Crossing. Steve Simonson added there
was a slight mix up of lots in Unit 1, which has a few 55' lots, but the rest of the units are 60'
lots.
Ernie Evans asked are the power line easements illustrated at the northern portion of the property
and was advised yes? And you proposing to build in, over, or around the easement.
David Richmond stated that maybe the question should be; Is the easement subject to widening?
David was advised that the easement will widen further north, it will not widen further south as
advised by GBRA.
David Richmond moved to forward recommending the scheduling of a public hearing to
consider the request from Continental Homes of San Antonio, L.P. to rezone Tract 1, 26.9 acres -
R-2 (Single Family Residential 70'x 120'lots) & 23.1 acres- GB (General Business) to Tract 1,
R -6 (Single Family Residential 60'xl20' lots) -Gated total 50 acres and Tract 2, 25.4 acres -R -2 &
7.8 acres GB to Tract 2, R -6 -Gated total of 33.2 acres for Carolina Crossing Subdivision Units 6
—10. Tony Moreno seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
7
#18 Consider And Take Appropriate Action: Request from Continental Homes of San
Antonio, L.P. for Master Plan Approval of Caroline Crossing Subdivision. (PC# 384 -98).
Steve Simonson stated that the master plan is for units 6,7 &8, with the option tracks for the
possibility of units 9 & 10. Steve Simonson mentioned that one item is missing from the zoning
issue previously discussed, Mr. Biegert, the owner of the proposed property (option tracks 9 &
10) will have to give authorization and be part of the public hearing package.
Steve Simonson stated that the master plan shows a change in the entrance into the proposed
units. The developer is well aware of the City's road master plan for Savannah Drive.
Paul Denham stated that the documents presented shows the continued development for the
Carolina Crossing's Gated Community. He explained that Savannah Drive has three major
concerns and for these reasons we questioned: Will Savannah Drive ever realistically be
extended.
1. Can continue for a short distance before hitting slopes that are very steep. Contours are
part of the plan indicating these problem areas.
2. Flood plain problem at some of the areas.
3. The location of the road will be under transmission lines that will have to be crossed.
Construction of a structure that is flood resistant and that can be crossed at flood stages:
to cross the area will cost approximately half a million dollars.
Paul Denham stated that in the master plan it shows the layout of the units and how the lots
continue the type of zoning for Carolina Crossing. The option tracks are labeled to show how the
units will continue if the demand is warranted.
David Richmond asked for a clarification to the option tracks and the continuation. Paul Denham
stated that the option tracks are build shown however, in some areas (shown as common areas)
there are very steep slopes that drop off considerably becoming very difficult to build a major
thoroughfare to meet the criteria for slopes. Homes can be built in some areas however, other
areas create problems with foundations etc.
Gary Wallace asked if the city engineers have had an opportunity to look at the master plan
showing Savannah Drive and was advised that it can be done.
Gary Wallace stated that another concern is traffic on Schertz Parkway. Schertz Parkway being a
city street, the city can put up traffic lights and stop signs at some of the streets.
Ernie Evans mentioned that a proposed "exit only" is shown in Units 9 & 10, which would be
another curb cut onto Schertz Parkway. Paul Denham stated that generally in "PUD" zoning, he
believes there should be an alternate exit if there happens to be problems at the location. It would
be back up system for emergency vehicles, not an entrance.
8
Tony Moreno commented that Mr. Denham, has submitted a good presentation to their master
plan development, however the city has worked a considerable amount of time on a master plan
and have concurred and planned that Savannah Drive would follow through.
Tony Moreno suggested that the city ask for feed back concerning problems in the extension of
Savannah Drive from the city engineer. Paul Denham stated that he would welcome another
opinion.
Gary Wallace asked what the time frame there would be to receive an answer and was advised
that by the next meeting.
Gary Wallace move to table the request from Continental Homes of San Antonio, L.P. to rezone
Tract 1, 26.9 acres -R -2 (Single Family Residential 70'x 120'lots) & 23.1 acres- GB (General
Business) to Tract 1, R -6 (Single Family Residential 60'x120' lots) -Gated total 50 acres and
Tract 2, 25.4 acres -R -2 & 7.8 acres GB to Tract 2, R -6 -Gated total of 33.2 acres for Carolina
Crossing Subdivision Units 6 —10 pending a report from the city engineer on the extension of
Savannah Drive to the southwest of Schertz Parkway to the Carolina Crossing Master Plan.
Keith Van Dine seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
#19 Consider And Take Appropriate Action: Request from MBC & Associates for
Preliminary Plat Approval of Greenshire Subdivision Unit 5B. (PC #382 -98).
Steve Simonson stated that unit 5B will complete the Greenshire Subdivision (adding 50 units) to
south of Woodland Oaks Drive.
David Richmond asked that if there is room for the continued construction of the brick wall at
lots 15 and 16 and at Lotus lot 113? He was advised that the brick wall would go right on the
property line and would be part of the final plat.
David Richmond stated that lot 108 is showing dimensions of 60'x 222' and asked for
clarification.
Sam Bledsoe stated that a drain separates unit 4 from unit 5 that sets a boundary for these lots.
Lotus Park was needed to connect to Woodland Oak Drive causing some of the lots to be odd
shaped. Sam Bledsoe stated that the builder is aware and has a product that is workable for these
lots.
David Richmond asked that if there would be two ways in on both sides of Woodland Oak Drive
and was advised this is true.
David Richmond moved to recommend approval on the request from MBC & Associates for
Preliminary Plat Approval of Greenshire Subdivision Unit 5B with the addition of a note 5
indicating continuing the brick wall along Woodland Oaks Drive to the property boundaries.
Joyce Briscoe seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
#20 Consider And Take Appropriate Action: Request from Castle Rock Development for
Site Plan Approval of Centurion Storage (Mini Storage), FM3009. (PC #383 -98)
Steve Simonson stated that the site plan is a mini storage facility authorized in a general business
zoned area. Steve Simonson stated that a letter in the packet indicates that the back fence line is
actually the building. Steve Simonson explained that the developer has discussed the necessary
requirements of fire rating, etc. with the city inspector. The lighting system and the sign
proposed are also explained in the letter. The second sheet of the plan indicates that all of the
buildings are sized and labels the existing trees.
Gary Wallace stated that he is surprised there isn't a rear building setback. Steve Simonson
stated that there is a 25' requirement from a residential area, however the developer is proposing
to use the building as the back fence line.
Gary Wallace asked if they are requirement to have a building set back and is there a request for
a variance? Steve Simonson stated that a building setback is required by the city ordinance and
there is no request at this time.
Gary Wallace asked what is the required height for signage on FM3009? Gary was advised that
18.9' is the requirement. Gary Wallace added that the site plan shows the sign at 19.5.
Mr. Allen stated that the sign height is in error and will be corrected to show the correct height of
18.5'.
Steve Simonson stated that there are two options, does the Commission authorize the back of the
building to be the solid fence across the property or have the 25' building setback and have
vehicles driving back and forth in that area.
Ernie Evans stated that the required separation between commercial and residential is an 8'
fence. Mr. Allen stated that the fence will be an 8' wall, which will be fire rated fence. The
height of the buildings are no more than 9.4' which also would be the height of the fence
separation. The buildings are concrete with metal or swing doors. Mr. Allen added that there are
plans for decorating the back of the fence facing the residential area with a stucco finish. The
10
roof is basically a flat roof with slight sloping at some areas. The water run off would be toward
the drive area in front.
Mr. Allen mentioned that there is total security with cameras installed and managed 24 hours a
day by a resident living in an apartment on the premises. Traffic would be on the average of
seven cars a day, on a high day approximately 20 cars.
David Richmond stated that a residence is not allowed in a general business area. Steve
Simonson stated that it would be a business office/ residence. This type of business
office /residence is similar to the some of the businesses on Main St. Business in the front of the
building and living quarter in the back. Steve Simonson stated that the 25' setback is a zoning
issue, which will have to go the BOA for a variance.
Ernie Evans asked for a clarification for the fence proposed for the property and was advised that
the wall structure of the building will be the fence line. The building doors or openings would
face the inside of the property not the homes. Steve Simonson explained that these issues would
have to be BOA actions, however he wanted to show the Commission the plans proposed for the
business.
Joyce Briscoe stated that a chain link fence is not very attractive, is it possible to use a something
more attractive (vegetation etc.). Mr. Allen proposed a wrought iron fence and some type of
landscaping.
Ernie Evans stated that the issue of the building setback needs to be addressed and treated as a
variance request to the BOA.
Gary Wallace moved to forward the request for the Centurion Mini Storage variance to the BOA
recommending approval for a zero lot line to allow building 8, to be the fence for the zero lot
line. Tony Moreno seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
Ernie Evans stated that the next item to address is the site plan for the Centurion Mini Storage.
11
Ernie Evans stated that items discussed previously for the site plan are; sign, landscape, and
fencing. Do these issues need clarification? David Richmond mentioned that the chain link fence
issue is something that needs clarification as mentioned, changing it to a wrought iron fence.
Gary Wallace mentioned that any effort to preserve trees would be greatly appreciated and a
landscape plan for the 50' setback area at the front of the property. Mr. Allen agreed to work
with Mr. Simonson on the landscape plan, preserving trees if at all possible and the chain link
fence at building 6, changed so that the back of the building becomes the fence, stucco material
as proposed at the rear of the building.
Gary Wallace moved to disapprove the request from Castle Rock Development for Site Plan
Approval of Centurion Storage (Mini Storage), FM3009 due to elevation of the sign, improper
front fencing, lack of variance for the rear building setback, change needed to the fence on the
north side to be changed to the rear of building 6 and the landscaping on the 50' setback. David
Richmond seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
Keith Van Dine stated that the variance request for the Centurion Mini Storage was not an
agenda item and that action was taken without amending the agenda. Is this procedure? Ernie
Evans agreed, and stated that an agenda item for the variance should have been added before any
action taken.
#21 General Discussion:
George Maxfield:
George voiced his concern on the request from Stone Creek RV Park. He feels the Commission
can not lock him down to specific areas and allow the entire area to be used for his purposes.
George was advised that according to city procedure this is a zoning issue and the RV Park needs
to give the city some indication of the break down of usage (RV and MH) for the proposed area.
12
Joyce Briscoe:
Joyce asked if there is any feedback from the Council in regard to setting up an escrow account
for sidewalks and roads? Ken Greenwald informed Joyce that the Council will discuss the issue
at the Council workshop scheduled for tomorrow evening.
Tony Moreno:
Tony commented that some thought be given to a change in the UDC, to limit projects from
coming into the City and develop a property that would entirely cover the property with
impervious buildings and asphalt. We can address that with a water run -off requirement and a
maximum ratio requirement of impervious cover.
Gary Wallace:
Gary Wallace mentioned that a concerned neighbor had concerns on drainage into Green Valley
Road from the Greenshire Subdivision and was advised that there will be some drainage at the
backside of the subdivision.
Gary asked if there is any news on the stop light at FM3009. Steve advised him that Mr. Sweatt
and himself have been trying to find out when the light will go up. The scheduling time was July
of 1998, along with 60 other projects scheduled for that month. At this time we are trying to find
out when.
David Richmond
David asked if there is any more information on the FM 78 project, and was advised that
construction will begin sometime in April of 1999.
David mentioned that he is not comfortable with the discussion on allowing a residence in a
commercial property and asked how will the Commission handle such a request.
13
Ernie Evans stated that such a request will require a special exception to the zoning ordinance.
The Commission will have to make recommendation to the BOA for their consideration to allow
a residence for security purposes.
Steve informed the Commission that neither the building code nor the UDC has a provision
disallowing a residence on a business site. Steve stated that this would be handled as a variance.
Ernie Evans stated that Merwin Willman sometime ago discussed this issue, and Ernie believes
that this type of issue is part of the UDC.
After discussion among the Commissioners on several options regarding allowing a residence in
a business site, it was agreed that changes will need to be done to the UDC.
Ken Greenwald:
Ken mentioned that a donation of a park from Pecan Grove Park was declined because the city
would have to donate $586,000 a year. Ken stated that the city now owns the two building by the
pharmacy on FM78, these two buildings cost the citizens of Schertz $77,000. This area will be
parking for the FM78 expansion. Ken added that there is money in the budget to hire a
professional to complete the Comprehensive Plan for the City.
Steve Simonson:
Steve asked for clarification on the request from the Centurion Storage on the variance request
for the 25' building setback. Does the Commission want the request to be brought to the P & Z,
and have the P & Z make recommendation to forward the request to the BOA or forward directly
to the BOA? The Commission advised that the request should go directly to the BOA.
Steve informed the Commission about the APA local group meeting. He asked if any one would
be interested in attending. Since Merwin Willman retired no onp from the Commission has
attended. If anyone is interested in attending, fill out the questionnaire and send it in.
14
Steve mentioned that there is discussion of a complex type of development similar to the Tri-
County Business Industrial Park development, however this type of development does not meet
the requirements of a plat or site plan that is required by the City. This type of development is
built all at one time. Steve explained that there would not be an individual builder for each
building presenting a site plan or master for each building. How would the Commission like to
handle this type of request? Have a site plan for every building site or a master plan with a
standard explanation on landscape, sign and other site plan requirements.
Ernie Evans asked if this was a continuation of Guad Coma and was advised it was and that
eventually it would continue out to FM3009 over the drainage channel.
Ernie Evans stated he did not have a problem with this type of development, however on how the
documentation is presented does present some questions. Ernie suggested that full master plan
showing all the documentation that is required by the city: landscape and signage etc.

Keith Van Dine moved to adjourn the meeting. George Maxfield seconded the motion. The
