CITIZENS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE BOARD None III. DISCUSSION WITH AMY ANDERSON REGARDING GEORGETOWN FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY Amy Anderson, Chair of Library Board, talked with the board about starting a foundation for the library. She discussed the steps involved in forming a foundation. She stressed that the relationship between the board and the foundation is very important. It is also very important to track all the donors and the donations they give. IV. DEVELOPMENT PROCESS REDESIGN TEAM UPDATE - CARLA BENTON Carla Benton from the Development Redesign Team discussed the latest model which is a combination of three models. The desire of the team is to devise a one stop shop for the customers. There will be more handouts and brochures available to the public so they can educate themselves on the process. Eventually there will be a computerized access terminal for the customer to be able to look up all the information about their property that they need to know. The simple things can be handled by the development technician. More complicated matters will be handled by a core team which is made up of different functions within the City. One person on the core team would be responsible as a contact person to the applicant from the very beginning of the project through the life of the project. This keeps the customer from having to go to all the different City offices. Key specialists will act as consultants to the core team. Project coordinators will report to the boards as soon as possible on the issues that will effect them. Long range plan is to have the information available on the Internet. V. DISCUSSION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT OF FOUNTAINWOOD ESTATES Three to four years ago Fountainwood Estates was going to give the City of Georgetown some frontage property on Andice Road. Now they are proposing to give 17.21 acres for parkland if the City gives back the commercial frontage property. After discussing the issue, Debbie McGarry made a motion to return the original land deeded to the City and to accept the 17.21 acres. Sarah O'Brien seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote. VI. DISCUSSION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT OF KATY CROSSING When Katy Crossing was oringinally developed, more land than necessary was given. Now the subdivision is expanding and they would like to use the extra land that was donated originally to help cover some of the parkland dedication requirements. The subsivision is going to donate money to make up the differnce. Debbie McGarry made a motion to accept the land already given and the money for Katy Crossing. Joyce Gadison seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote. VII. DISCUSSION OF SHORT FORM FINAL PLAT OF SOUTH TOWN INDUSTRIAL PARK Years ago there was land dedicated to the City and now there is a metal building on that property. The South Town Industrial Park is proposing to switch that land and give approximately one acre of land that is at 18th Street and Hart Street. The concern of the board was that the parkland would be split by Hart Street and create a dangerous situation for a park. Sarah O'Brien made a motion to accept the parkland dedication if they add a piece adjacent to the .71 acres of dedicated parkland that is equivalent in size to the piece below the Hart Street right -of -way so that there would be one solid park that would be equal or larger in size than the proposed dedicated parkland site. Debbie McGarry seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote. VIII. DISCUSSION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT OF OLD BISHOP PLACE SUBDIVISION After discussing the situation regarding Old Bishop Place Subdivision and its location regarding MOKAN, the board thought parkland dedication fee would be the best option.
