This is particularly true of the water situation in light of the current City policy regarding water availablity. Therefore, in order to insure the uniform application of this policy staff recommends that the water availability restriction should apply to any increase in demand. The impact on wastewater capacity is less significant and should probably be worked out by simply adjusting the Capital Recovery Fee Credits.

Resubdivision plat shall be revised to reflect change in land use only. II. Site grading and drainage plan shall be approved by City Engineer III. Utilities being adequate A. Approval shall not be given to any increase in the average -day demand for water supply over that which was previously approved for Parkview Estateso Acceptable trade-offs within the overall development shall be considered in -lieu of reducing the number of permitable units for this project. B. The capital recovery fee formula shall be adjusted to reflect the increase in waste- water demand. IV. The 30 foot buffer zone shall be maintained with no construction allowed within.

Also requested is an extension of the appro-Val for final plat. Facts Location: Norith of Hwy 2 338 between the IH' 35 access road and Hwy 81. Surrounding Uses: commercial property is located on the south, east, and north of the subject tract, IH 35 borders the property,.-./ on the western boundary Existing Zoning: commercial - First Height (C -2A) Surrounding Zoning: C -2A Southwestern Plaza (con.) Proposed Use: Retail shopping center expansion Development Plan: Commercial use is recommended; proposed use is substantially in conformance with the plan. History: Final plat approval was granted by City Council on 1/10/85. The expiration date for recordation was 7/10/85. Analysis: Existing buildings on the site require 512 parking spaces by ordinance. The three additional building areas proposed require parking for an additional 342 cars for a total of 854 spaceso Provision of 709 spaces, as proposed, would leave a shortage - of 145 spaces. Elimination of the proposed 5000 square foot pad in the front of the center would reduce the shortage of parking to 94 spaces or 11.5% below requirements. The applicant could possible reclaim part of the flood plain area on the site to further reduce this deficit. However, this appears to be a very expensive way to provide parking considering the drainage and utility relocation work required. Also the elimination of this "green space" is not desirable environmentally. And yet, the Public Works Department has indicated that they would like to see the existing sanitary sewer main relocated to the periphery of the flood plain because it is currently old and too shallow. And the City Engineer has advised that any significant • of this flood plain will likely require downstream channel improvements extending past the new Chamber of Commerce,site through San Gabriel Park to the River. Thus, in the long run the benefits of such improvements will likely out -weigh the benefits attributable to the "greenspace� in its current condition. In the past the Planning Department has recommended variances from the parking requirements in exchange for landscaping and other environmentally benefitial features if provided over and above the minimum ordinance requirements. A rule of thumb standard applied to these cases hag been a 10% reduction in required spaces. A strict reading of the landscape ordinance indicates that this proposal (being in a C2A District) is not required to meet the minimum requirements of said ordinance. However, the front yard area (area between the street and the building set bank line) is to be used only for landscaping, signs, driveways, and sidewalks. The current plan shows landscaping in generally four different areas. 1. The area between the buildings and the IH -35 R.O.W. Applicant has indicated that this area is to remain in its existing natural state, 2. The area within the highway R.O.W. along Williams Dr. and State Hwy -81 -This area BRIARWOOD SECTION IV - PRELIMINARY PLAT 'JAVA ;P 03 N 'JUNMAP SCALE: Z0001 Applicant: Timber Trek Development Co., Inc. 3609 Williams Drive, Georgetown, Tx 78626 agent: Glen Schmidt (Steger and Bizzell, Inc.)

Briarwood Section IV (con.) Facts Location: Northeast Of Williams Dr. and Briarwood Sec. 3 between Serenada Country Estates and Reata Trails Sec. IV. Not within city limits, but inside the E.T.J. and the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. Surrounding Uses: Large lot single family residential to the northwest in Serenada Country Estates; normal single familyfresidential to the northeast in Reata Trails IV; duplex lots in Briarwood Sec. 3 to the southwest; and vacant land to the southeast. Proposed Use: 80 single family' residences at a density of 3.6 3 lots per acre. Average lot size is 7,500 sq. ft. Development Plan: Normal residential use is recommended, District 4B the proposed use is substantially in conformance with the plan. History: A preliminary plat of essentially the same design was approved by the City council on 4/10/84; conditioned upon: A.) Plat approval conditioned upon: 1.) plat meeting all ordinance requirements 2.) utilities being adequate 3.) drainage requirements being met B.) Algerita Drive should be extended to be a through street. C.) An all-weather service road should be constructed to the life station D.) two off-street parking spaces are required for each living unit, and these spaces may not be in the required front yard E.) a 20 foot easement is needed along the east property line for utilities The Planning Department has no record of public notification for the previous plat.. This plat has expired as defined by ordinance. Analy�j� Regarding the conditions of the previous approval, condition "A" should apply to this and all other plats approved by the City of Georgetown. Condition "B" requiring the extension of Algerita is no longerrequested by the planning staff due to the fact the Redgewood Dr. has been widened and extended to Northwest Blvd. to provide a secondary collector. Condition "C" is no'-- longer applicable is to the elimination of the lift station from the utility concept plan. Conditions "D" and "Ell remain relevant. i Briarwood Section IV (con.) Due to the.diffetential in lot Size between this proposal and Serenadat steps should be taken to buffer �he border between them so as to improve compatibility, reduce noise levels, control drainage and improve aesthetics., Possible solutions to the Problem could include an increase in lot size for the adjoining lots in Block B and/or the re- quirement of a berm and landscape buffer between Briarwood Section Four and Serenada Country Estates. An added benefit of a berm is to control any increase in-stormwater runoff4 Provision of a landscaped berm along the rear of Block "D11 would be superior to a fence buffer becausev. a. water running off the 8riarwood lots.would be Channeled to Pecan Branch away from the Serenada lots, landscaping improves with age As opposed to fences that fall into disrepair, c* landscape buffers muffle sound better than do fences, d* atstfieticallyjand8daping is superior to fences, Maintenance of the bermed area at well as other drainage easements can be insured through a Covenant to Maintain Drainage Facilities which would make the developer and/or subsequent lot owners responsible for upkeep, Btiarwood Section IV is Proposing the smallest lots in this part of the City to date4 As density increases, the demandfor recreational facilities increases, A need for recreation facilities in this area of the City is identified in the Parks & Recreation Study recently completed. The vacant tract of land to the southeast of this site is a possible location for a neighborhood or Community level park* Whether or hot this site it designated for park use, it will be necessary to obta±n access. Access provided between lots 7 & 8 of Block E would serve the added function -of buffering the single family lot from the neighboring duplex lot and eliminate the need for a variance for Block "E" which exceeds the maximum block length of 1200 ft4 Block "D" will still require this variance, The water department has indicated that this area cannot be served until the water treatment plant is Operational.

Historyt Vinal Plat approval for Sections 1-5 Of Parkview Estates was granted by the City Council on 12/11/85, Plat was recorded 5/20/85., The approved land use for property is "commercial,, * Applicant wishes to vacate and resubdivide with land use changed to multi -family. This Change will increase the demand on the water And wastewater utilities constructed with the project. During the Rrevious: approval process Significant opposition was expressed by adjacent property owners and buffeting between various land uses was required, _S�is: The proposed change in land use is in some respects more consistent with current City zoning philosophy which attempts to aggregate uses in larger blocks of space with gradual transitions made accord' ina to the existing district hierarchy fr It to 11111. OM R -S to Thus, the future zoning district of RM for this tract gould make a more normal transition to the adjacent Pope Tract which is also residential and the street becomes the "buffer" between commercial and residential uses4 However, the previously established "greenbelt" area is still heeded to mitigate potential use conflicts. Because the Structures proposed are backed up to the greenbelt, significant damage is likely to occur during construction thus reducing its effectiveness as a buffer4 This Proposal increases the density of Parkview Estates adjacent to a large lot residence that is not part *f this development. If the 30 foot buffer zone on the east side of the property is preserved as a natural thicket, the increased noise levels due to the multi- family residential use should be ameliorated. I I Regarding the previous condition Of approval that the Other multifamily lot 'in Parkview Estates be subject to P.Uib* regulations, an impervious coveraqe limitation of 40% would be required. This proposal has- 55.9% ii4)erviout dovdrage. Therefore, in order to be COnsistant within the development, reducing the allowable density to the standard 15 units per acre is reasonable. Regarding the previous allocation Of utilitie oversizing was required to enable the City tos serve the surrounding areas. The City could allow transfer of capacity fr om anot4er,section of Parkview Estates, change the agreement regarding oversizing to reflect the increased demand, or disallow the change it land use. Allowing a change in land use without requiring a trade off would establish a precedenj that would further complicate the process of utility planning by allowing density and utility demand to Parkview Estates Section Nine (con.) locally at the expense of the utility availability for the general service area. This is particularly true of the water situation in light of the current City Policy regarding water availablity. Therefore, in order to insure the uniform application of this Policy staff recommends that the water availability restriction should apply to any increase in demand. The impact on wastewater capacity is less significant and should probably be worked out by simply adjusting the Capital Recovery Fee Credits. Staff Recommendation: Approval of the vacating and resubdivisi6n of Parkview Estates Section 9 for change of land use to multi- family and approval of the site plan with the following condition: I. Resubdivision plat shall be revised to reflect change in land use only. II. Site grading and drainage plan shall be approved by City Engineer I I !I!- Utilities being Adequate Approval shall not be given to Any increase in the average -day demand for water supply over that which was previously approved for Parkview Estates. Acceptable trade-offt within the overall development shall be considered in Iieu of reducing the number of permitable 'units for this project. B. The capital recovery fee formula shall be adjusted to reflect the increase in waste- water demand. EVi The 30 foot buffer zone shall be maintained with no construction allowed withini Contractor shall provide a fence during Construction to insure that this area is left undisturbed, and structures along this area shifted we8t.

Surrounding Uses: Block 16 to the Northwest is the site for a proposed County Courthouse Annex, parking facilities for the county building are planned on Block 21 to the west. To the southwest on Block 30 is an old grocery/upholstery store. The west half of Block 29 to the south of the subject tract is an undeveloped drainway, on the northeast corner of Block 29 is a newly erected metal building that will be used as an auto body shop. To the southeast is the Draeger Automotive Sales and service center. A single family residence is on the northwest corner of this block. The western half of the block to the east is vacant. On the eastern portion of the subject block (22) are a house in apparent disrepair and what appears to be a junk yard. North of the property is a Montessouri School and more open space.

Another !„, proposalpertinant to this of recharoe takes place streambeds. filling of this streambed as implied by the schematic site plan and diversion of the water via underground pipe will significantly reduce the recharge potential of this property. In addition to reducing the recharge, underground pipes would move more water at higher velocities through the property. This could exacerbate downstream drainage problems. The downtown area already has a significant parking shortage. In the absence of hard statistical data a windshield survey of on -street parking in the downtown area reveals that the streets are usually at capacity for at least a one block radius from the square. New developments should not be allowed which would increase the demand for on -street parking. Several streets in this section of the City are currently substandard. Many of the streets lack curbs and gutters, and a few lack pavement. Street improvements should be planned and improved to accommodate increased usage resulting from more intensive land use.

However, after meeting with appil -icant,Planning Staff has agreed to withdraw its recommendation for P.U.D. designation for the entire development due to the marketing desires of developer with the condition that the apartment site shall conform to the tequiremett8 Of the P4U4D. Ordinance. One key issue surrounding this project is the fact that 23% of the project lies in the flood plain. A Preliminary Flood Plain Study has been submitted, and the City tnqinoer has requested that the final Plat not be submitted until this study has been approved. This floodway has drawn considerable attention from • neighborhood association which has requested that • comprehensive flood plain study and improvements plan be conducted.

Applicable conditions of approval have been satisfied Analysis 1- The major issue regarding this site (as well as All the 1H 35 frontage property from Westinghouse Road to Leander Road) is how to promote an attractive entry into I the City in an area which is hot being served by City utilities and thus does not qualify as a likely annexation candidate. Until an area is annexed, the City Zoning Ordinance including landscape requitomentsi sign controls and building code requirements can be enforced only throuqh voluntary Compliance of the developer. 2. Adonally, the only land use control mechanism currently available is the Land Development Plan of April, 1983 which does not provide recommendations for all areas of the E4T.J. This is the case for South Georgetown Business Park. However, given location along a regional transportation Corridor the use proposed seems reasonable. The major thing to avoid along this strip is the proliferation of small scaled, unplanned retail uses which tend to increase the number of signs, driveways, architectural styles, and general clutter. 3. in summary therefore the following it noted! a. The subject property ' contiguous w* is 1th the City 'limits, however due to an inabty to provide City utility Service annexation is not recommended at this time. This site lies along the ,gateway to Georgetown -- and such 4hoUla be developed to the highest possible standards in terms of architectural character and site attractiveAe88t, particularly the access toad frontage. . c.
