G Citizens Wishing to Address Council
B. Keith Peshak, 800 Oak Crest Lane, regarding "Farley Snell motion, passed 4 to 3 by Council to take
millions and millions of future taxpayer liability and turn it to cash for a Georgetown resident."
Peshak told Council that the City continues to violate FAA regulations at the Georgetown Airport
and gives away millions of dollars in city income.
Don Dison, 607 Esparada, told Council that he will pay 17 cents per square foot to rent from the
City a 90,000 square foot piece of property on which he will build shade hangars. He noted that he
will pay the City $1,530/month or $18,360/year; will build 28 shade hangars for single-engine
privately -owned aircraft that he will rent for approximately $100/month which is $2800/month gross
income minus the $1530 lease payment, which comes to $33,000 gross revenue per year of which
18,000 goes to the City, which leaves $14,240 revenue per year.
Noble noted for the record that he had voted against that item.

the hiring program. She said this is a matching grant and the first year the City would receive all but 25% of
the salary and benefits of the officer, the next year would be all but 30%, and the next year all but 35%, and
the fourth year, the City would absorb all the costs. She said it has not yet been determined from where the

Ronald Swain, Chair of the Economic Development Commission and Charlie Walker, Economic
City Council Meeting Minutes/May 27, 2003
Page 3 of 10 Pages
Development Director
Councilmember John Kirby noted that he had signed an affidavit of conflict of interest and is not
able to participate in deliberations involving the Wolf Ranch Project due to property holdings of his
son in law, and therefore, removed himself from the dais for all discussion and action involving
Wolf Ranch.
Dr. Swain presented a resolution to the Mayor from the Economic Development Commission
EDC). He asked the members of the EDC to stand and explained that the Commission supports
the Wolf Ranch Development by Simon Property Group. He read the resolution.
Gerald McDonald, 122 Stetson Trail. told Council he did a detailed analysis of his family's
discretionary spending for a year and 72% of their spending went to Round Rock, Austin, and
Cedar Park. He said Georgetown deserves quality performance in all areas, and asked the
Council to support the Wolf Ranch Project.
Jennifer Fomby, 30410 Berry Creek Drive, said the Wolf Ranch Project is very important to the
citizens of Georgetown because it gives jobs to teens in Georgetown and keeps them from having
to shop in Austin and Round Rock.
Christopher Damon, 1708 Olive Street, said he purchased the Masonic Lodge building on the
square and has been working hard to find a tenant to occupy the space. He said he thinks the
only thing the Wolf Ranch Development still needs is a balcony. He encouraged the Council to
approve the Wolf Ranch project. He said it will help promote Georgetown and will help the square
because of the increased shopping activity.
Janice Conti -Brown, 706 E. 15th Street, said she bought her house in Georgetown because it was
a small town where she could walk to shopping. She said she is not in favor of the Wolf Ranch
property. She said she is concerned about environmental pollution from the cars that will park at
the shopping center. She asked why the City is not reimbursing local businesses for what they
have done. She suggested looking at property values around the shopping malls in Round Rock
and Pflugerville.
Joel Broussard, 2909 Gabriel View Drive, said he and his wife have enjoyed 12 years of business
in Georgetown and they want that to continue. He said he would like to see the Wolf Ranch
development occur here in Georgetown rather than somewhere else.
Ashleigh Vick, 1602 E. 17th Street, said the sales tax is going to Round Rock and needs to stay in
Georgetown, and the shopping center will provide jobs for high school kids. She said she didn't
think the mall would hurt the square.
Steven Shepherd, 406 Riverdown Road, said he is concerned about the runoff into the rivers, but
is pleased about the possibility for extension of the Hike and Bike Trail.
Ellie Skross, 30106 Carmel Bay, said she is one of the small retailers downtown and is in favor of
the project because Simon is reputable and they have said they will try to promote the square as
the heart of Georgetown.
Bill Chapman, 515 Riverview, said his statements have already been made.
Joshua McClure, 106 River View Cove, said he is firmly in support of the development. He said he
is the Vice Chair of the Main Street Advisory Board and is working toward keeping the downtown
alive. He said people are the "oxygen" that will keep the downtown alive.
Chris Aadnesen, 30205 Oak Tree Drive, said he listened to the Simon presentation at the Planning
and Zoning Commission Meeting and he was very impressed with the desire of the Simon Group
to blend with the community. He spoke about the safety aspect of not having to drive out of town
to shop.
Richard Anderson, 3010 Gabriel View, said Simon is a premier developer and he believes they will
be good citizens. He said the project will attract other quality commercial and industrial
development. He said he thinks it will be possible to have a development like this and still have a
vibrant downtown.
City Council Meeting Minutes/May 27, 2003
Page 4 of 10 Pages
Ed Jasperson, 110 Saddle Trail, said one of the reasons he and his wife moved to Sun City was
because of the "quaintness" of the downtown. He said he read an article that said the "people in
Sun City" want this big new development. He said he is not in favor of the City paying money up
front. He said if he was a downtown business owner, he'd be scared of all the new stores coming
in. He said he is worried about the survival of the downtown. He wanted Council to know that not
everyone in Sun City is in favor of the new mall.
Mel Pendland, 30207 Oak Tree Drive, President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, said
he is speaking on their behalf, and said the Wolf Ranch development is a "good deal" for
Georgetown. He commended the Simon Group and the proposed development. He said Simon
will work closely with downtown Georgetown to make sure it remains vibrant.
Marvin Waley, 20128 Westlake Parkway, owner and operator of the Cafe on the Square, offered
his support for the Wolf Ranch project. He said there will be an enormous impact on the entire
community, and he urged Council to support the development.
Johnny Anderson, 418 Champions Drive, said this project is the "poster child" for smart growth in
Georgetown. He said this development has been designed according to the Unified Development
Code, and the project strikes a great balance between growth and maintaining the quality and
charm of Georgetown. He encouraged the Council not to delay the development.
Motion by Snell, second by Sansng that the Council approve the Wolf Ranch development
contingent upon the adoption of a development agreement.
Evans said he agrees with what was said in the Economic Development Commission Resolution.
He said he is proud of what the proposed development will look like. He said he has problems
with the $15 million that the City is expected to finance. He said he has felt that it would be
necessary to partner with private developers in order to continue to improve the downtown, and he
is looking forward to using part of the revenue stream from the Wolf Ranch project to begin to
finance the downtown area and implement the Downtown Master Plan.
Carts said each of the items regarding the Wolf Ranch Development need to be considered
separately, such as a Century Plan Amendment and a Planned Unit Development. Mayor
suggested that Item 0-5 be moved forward.
5. Consideration and possible action to approve a resolution encouraging the commercial
development of approximately 101.65 +/- acres out of the Clement Stubblefield Survey, Abstract
No. 558, located at the southwest corner of the intersection of IH 35 and SH 29, to be known
as Wolf Ranch; and authorizing staff to enter into final negotiations regarding economic
development incentives -- Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager and Patricia E. Carts, City Attorney
Yantis read the caption of the resolution. Snell and Sansing withdrew their previous motion.
Motion by Snell, second by Sansng that the Council approve the Wolf Ranch development
contingent upon the adoption of a development agreement.
Smith said he understands that the community is in favor of the project, and he will vote in favor of
it, but is concerned about the $29 million, specifically, the way the incentives are structured, saying
the incentives should be based on quality (over and above that required by the Unified
Development Code). He said he also thinks there is a possibility it could have a negative effect on
downtown.
Motion by Smith, second by Evans to amend the motion to provide Simon with $29 million worth
of incentives as follows: $10.5 million for roads, $3.5 million for utilities, $5 million for onsite Wolf
Ranch amenities (the Wind Park, the fountains, the parkland, etc.), and $10 million in
enhancement for downtown Georgetown, like a project for the Draeger property, or something that
would enhance downtown Georgetown.
Noble said he feels there will be a revenue stream that will allow funding for downtown and feels it
would "undo" what is trying to be done for Simon, so he would not support the amendment. Evans
said although he seconded the amendment, and wants to emphasize that help is needed in the
downtown area, he doesn't want to unravel the arrangement at Wolf Rancch and he would not
support the amendment. Sansiing said it is important to support downtown but he is not willing to
City Council Meeting Minutes/May 27, 2003
Page 5 of 10 Pages
take away from the development at Wolf Ranch, so he would not support the amendment
Denied 5-1 with one abstention. Amendment failed. (Kirby abstained)
Keith Peshak, 800 Oak Crest Lane, noted that John Kirby had recused himself. He questioned a
comment made by Councilmember Smith.
Bob Brent, 30104 Briarcrest Court, said there is no question that this is a great asset to the
community and feels it will be an answer to help downtown. He said as Chair of the Chamber of
Commerce he has never seen such excitement about a project in Georgetown.
Sansing said he talked to the citizens in the TRG Neighborhood in Georgetown and the mall would
represent jobs for citizens as well as summer jobs for the high school kids. He asked to make
clear that the City is not upfronting the money for the infrastructure, emphasizing that the money
would be paid back to Simon from revenues generated by the project.
Vote on the original motion: Approved 6-0 with one abstention. (Kirby abstained)
2. First Reading of an Ordinance for a Century Plan Amendment for 104.19 acres out of the
Clement Stubblefield Survey, to change the Intensity Level 3 to the proposed Level 5, and to

to the west in order to connect to the proposed Southwest Inner Loop, located at the southwest

acres out of the Clement Stubblefield Survey, Abstract No. 558, located at the southwest corner
of the intersection of IH 35 and SH 29 -- Bobby Ray, Chief Development Planner and Amelia
Sondgeroth, Director of Planning & Development
Sondgeroth said the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously on May 6 to approve
the PUD zoning with the stipulation that the issues brought forth by citizens living in San Gabriel
Heights regarding access be addressed prior to the City Council Meeting. She said the issues
were addressed and she said she would read the language addressing access at the item for the
first reading of the ordinance. She described the manner in which the proposed development
conforms, and in many ways, exceeds the requirements of the Unified Development Code. She
noted that the project meets the required approval criteria. She said the timing of the infrastructure
improvements in regard to transportation and utilities will be extremely important and the
development agreement will be very important to that aspect of this project. She said the Planning
and Zoning recommendation was that the Council approve the requested PUD with a base zoning
district of C-3 and that the city staff work closely with the residents to address parkland access.
Mayor announced to anyone that had signed up to speak on the "W" items on the agenda that those items
have been pulled by the applicant and will not be considered on this agenda.
Charlie Crossfield introduced Charles Hodges with Simon Group who gave a slide presenation
about the project.
Myles Minton thanked the Council and staff for working with Simon Group. He said their goal is to
create a master planned environment that would be a lasting success and a sense of place for
Simon. He said they build projects not to sell, but to keep forever. He said Simon Group wants to
do things that will enhance the culture of the community. He said he thinks their marketing will
enhance the core quality of shopping in Georgetown.
Evans suggested that Simon Group work with the City to create some partnerships and introduce
other developers to the downtown area.
Della Green, 1901 Vine Street, told Council she is in full support of the project and thinks it will

City Council Meeting Minutes/May 27, 2003
Page 7 of 10 Pages
modify the numbers of aircraft. He said although changes could be made to the document, he would like to
have the Council's consideration that the cost of $43,000 to do the update is worth the results that would be
obtained. Nelon noted that this item requires a suspension of the rules with a vote of majority plus one;
then a motion will be needed from a member of the prevailing side. Motion by Smith, second by Evans to
suspend the rules. Approved 7-0. Motion by Snell, second by Noble to reconsider Item N-2 from the
March 25 meeting. Approved 7-0. It was determined that the noise study would ordinarily be updated in
five years. There was further discussion.
Keith Peshak, 800 Oak Crest Lane, talked to Council about the "stigma" zone surrounding airports. Peshak
said Councilmembers violated federal regulations in their approval of an incorrect noise study.
Kathryn Heidemann, 407 Golden Oaks Drive, told Council she had served on the noise study committee,
said previously she was not in favor of the noise study, and she said she thinks they should request a
reduced projected increase if they vote to spend the money to have the study updated.
Motion by Snell, second by Kirby to amend the original motion to exclude the reference to revising the
based aircraft so that the motion now reads: "to certify the Noise Exposure Maps of the FAR Part 150
