Regular Session A. Call to Order: Mr. John Pettitt called the Regular GTAB Board Meeting to order on Friday, April 8, 216 at 10:00 AM. Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board may, at any time, recess the Regular Session to convene an Executive Session at the request of the Chair, a Board Member, The City Manager, Assistant City Manager, General Manager of Utilities, City Council Member, or legal counsel for any purpose authorized by the Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 551, and are subject to action in the Regular Session that follows. B. Introduction of Visitors C. Industry/CAMPO/TxDOT Updates: First update concerns the Lone Star Rail. At the last GTAB meeting it was mentioned that the CAMPO Board has directed staff along with TxDOT and the Alamo Area Council of Government to go back and review the funding scenarios for Lone Star Rail and if Union Pacific really has pulled out and if the no build scenario is chosen then all of the CAMPO dollars would have been spent on environmental process and all of the San Antonio Council Government money would go back to San Antonio. There appears to be an inequity in funding of the initial environmental study if the no build scenario is chosen because of the Union Pacific position. The Board has called a special meeting, which will be held on Friday April 15, 2016, to discuss their ongoing position. By early June we should know where CAMPO stands on the funding, and we will know which direction Lone Star is going. Staff has the opportunity to really be involved the State Legislative process, from the TML prospective. Our Transportation Analyst – Nat Waggoner has been asked to serve on the TML Committee for Transportation Legislation Review. Page 49 of 129 D.

Kern – GTAB Board Liaison Page 51 of 129 GTAB STATEMENT APRIL 08, 2016 AGENDA ITEM “E” AIRPORT PROJECT PROGRESS REPORT AND TIME LINES Good morning Mr. Chairman, members of the GTAB board, city staff and ladies and gentlemen. My name is John Milford I am a member of the Airport Concerned Citizens (ACC). This is the 54th presentation by ACC members to the city council and/or the GTAB since January 14, 2014. These actions are in pursuit of the public participation rights of our citizens regarding use of our federal tax funds for the Georgetown Municipal Airport (GTU). as provided by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). In our March meeting statement we welcomed the four new members of this board and stressed the importance of this board as the information gateway to the general public on transportation and airport issues. This board submits their recommendations to City Council for consideration and approval. We stressed that those recommendations should not be limited to single undisputed staff points of view. We are confident that the new members have been briefed on city's opinion that the ACC's goal to close the airport. Of, course that assertion is not true . The only group that ever advocated that proposal was the now dismantled Airport Advisory Board, which it outlined in it's 2002 “Airport Closure Project”. That report was premised on an abrupt closure of the airport. Which would have resulted in immediate legal conflicts with federal grant requirements. Only after closure would any attempts be made to locate an alternative site at huge costs to the taxpayers and the community. That report did not consider a smooth transition of one site to another such as was done in the Mueller to Bergstrom transfer of airport operations. The real estate value of existing airport property was not considered to pay all costs of a transfer of airport operations to a new location. No consideration was given that the a transfer of airport operations to a new site, could fulfill TxDOT's duty to establish a state Central Texas airport. The bill authorizing TxDot to establish such an airport is HB 2522. It was passed by the 77th Legislature and remains in force today. Ignoring the absurdity of the “Airport Closure Project” report, the city adopted it and its conclusion, that no relocation of the airport was possible under any conditions. City leaders went further and made this nonsense study a part of the city's master plan where it exists to this day. That absurd report retains such respect, by a city that prides itself on quality, that no professional feasibility study for a superior, rural, zoned and protected site for airport operations transfer has been considered by this board or by the City Council. This failure to act may result in a dreadful and dangerous consequence for our city as the airport continues to expand. The ACC has repeatedly requested this board to conduct open workshops for public input and discussions on airport issues. All these requests have been ignored. Last month we Page 52 of 129 requested revised monthly financial reports that would show the city's total financial obligation for federal grants received, as debt for repayment. This includes the city's obligation for the federal funded airport control tower. We see no such revisions to those financial reports this month. Perhaps city staff can enlighten us with their presentations. New board members should ask for and be provided with updated versions of the TxDOT AVN document, Airport Project History. That document describes the local, state and federal costs of completed GTU grants and state funded routine annual maintenance program (RAMP) grants. Another important issue for workshop discussions is compliance with NEPA. All board members need a firm understanding of this federal law and that non-compliance by the city, TxDOT and FAA is a root cause of ACC activity. In simplified terms, NEPA requires that prior to any federal funding action the federal agency involved must determine the extent of adverse impacts that could result from its implementation. The determination is made by preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), unless an Environmental Assessment (EA) is prepared that shows an EIS is not required. If the agency involved can demonstrate the proposed action fits within an agency category, that has been shown over time not to produce adverse impacts, it can categorically exclude the action for NEPA reviews. Over the past 37 years the city, TxDOT and FAA have relied on categorical exclusions on each individual grant in a systematic fashion that has transformed the once socially acceptable GTU to a public health and safety hazard while ignoring significant public opposition and controversy. City staff presentation today regarding comments on the 25-element, 1514GRGTN, grant exemplifies this pattern. Today, the Fuel Farm is presented as if it were a separate project rather than “only one” of the 25-elements of that grant. This “segmenting” of the Fuel Farm element out of the grant for an EA last year in lieu of preparation of an EA for the entire 25-element, 1514GRGTN grant is central to our appeal to higher federal authorities. The fact that TxDOT AVN prepared a categorical exclusion for the entire 1514GRGTN grant, in lieu of preparation of an EIS, is unjust and is being appealed. A full workshop discussion on compliance with NEPA and other issues should be arranged. I welcome any comments or questions.

The Guidelines will be utilized to facilitate communication amongst the public, designers, developers and contractors. The aim of this document is to support a clear understanding and common language regarding aesthetic treatments to the corridor as the project(s) are designed and constructed. The planned transportation improvements vary in complexity throughout the corridor. Some aesthetic enhancements are corridor wide. Other enhancements are indicative of the six cities along I-35. In four out of the six cities, existing intersection or interchange aesthetics are the basis for planned projects: • Georgetown – US 29 • Round Rock – SH 45N • Buda – Main Street • Kyle – Center Street In Austin, the Ben White Boulevard interchange is the basis for the majority of the aesthetics. There are two unique areas within Austin – US 183 and Downtown that will have separate aesthetics. Any improvements to the US 183 interchange shall complement the existing aesthetics. A separate public process will determine aesthetic enhancements for Downtown Austin. The City of San Marcos is in the process of improving their I-35 infrastructure aesthetics as evident at Aquarena Springs Drive and Yarrington Bridge Road. This document is intended to serve as a communication tool with city stakeholders. Photos and details of the existing or complementary treatments are provided within each segment of this document. GENERAL AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS I. Aesthetic enhancements shall not negatively affect the structural integrity of any component. II. All aesthetic enhancements shall not compromise the safety of facility motorists, pedestrian, and bicyclists. III. Aesthetics will be seen from a variety of vehicular speeds, elevations and directions. The aesthetics should employ scale, level of detail, depth of reveal/relief and color befi t to those conditions in which the motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists will be viewing them.

Where noise walls and buildings within the public right- of-way are less than 10 feet apart, concrete riprap shall be placed between the two structures. This treatment shall facilitate access to utilities and reduce maintenance concerns. Noise wall design shall consider accommodations for removable panels where conditions may not allow enough clearance for equipment access between the walls, utilities and other site structures. Any removable panels shall appear identical to permanent panels. The noise wall design shall address sloping grades. The distance between the bottom of the wall panels and the fi nished grade shall be a maximum of four inches and average of two inches. Where slopes are too steep and retaining walls would be required to meet these requirements, the fi nish grade shall meet maximum rip rap or grass slope requirements at columns. Where the wall needs to step in height, it shall step in constant intervals of four, eight or 12 inches until a level section of at least three panels is incorporated. After the level section of panels, the next slope change is addressed in constant intervals. When walls are equal to or greater than 12 feet in height, transition panels are to be installed at the beginning and end of every noise wall as seen in Figures A.1 - A.3. The shortest transition panel shall be a minimum height of eight feet, and panels will step in intervals of four feet until the overall NEPA-required wall height is met. If the required wall height can be met with less than a four- foot increment before meeting the required height, the shortest interval shall occur in the last panel before the fi nal wall height is achieved. For instance, a wall that needs to be 19 feet tall shall have an eight, 12 and 16 foot transition panel before the 19-foot tall wall panels are constructed. If a dip in the ground plane occurs, an additional panel shall be added to the bottom of the wall, regardless of the wall height determined by the noise analysis at that location. This panel shall have the same formliner texture as the retaining wall aesthetic identifi ed by the city.

Bicycle and pedestrian facility aesthetic treatments apply to retaining walls, ADA handrails and roadway buffers, where necessary. For retaining wall applications along shared use paths, refer to Table A.1. Table A.2 specifi es treatments of ADA handrails along the shared use path; refer to TxDOT standard PRD-13 for details. Five treatments are proposed where a buffer or gap exists between the roadway and the shared use path. The varying treatments are defi ned by the distance between the two facilities and whether or not a physical barrier exists. The buffers are described as: • less than two feet from the curb with no traffi c barrier (Fig A.13) • less than two feet with traffi c barrier (Fig A.14) • equal to or less than two feet up to less than or equal to fi ve feet with no traffi c barrier (Fig A.15) • equal to or less than two feet up to less than or equal to fi ve feet with traffi c barrier (Fig A.16) • greater than fi ve feet with or without barrier Corresponding hardscape fi gures illustrate the condition, paver laying pattern and color. Where the distance between the edge of the shared use path and back of curb or traffi c barrier is greater than fi ve feet, grass seed or sod shall be used. Design and construction of pedestrian and shared use paths shall be in accordance with all applicable standards. Treatments included herein are intended for aesthetic purposes only. Curb ramps shall contain a detectable warning surface that consists of raised truncated domes per ADA and TAS requirements. Materials, width, depth and location of detectable warning surface shall be in accordance with TxDOT standards. Color shall be a dark brown or dark red in accordance with TxDOT standards.

CITY OF AUSTIN STANDARD NOTES FOR TREE AND NATURAL AREA PROTECTION: 1. All trees and natural areas shown on plan to be preserved shall be protected during construction with temporary fencing. 2. Protective fences shall be erected according to City of Austin Standards for Tree Protection. 3. Protective fences shall be installed prior to the start of any site preparation work (clearing, grubbing or grading), and shall be maintained throughout all phases of the construction project. 4. Erosion and sedimentation control barriers shall be installed or maintained in a manner which does not result in soil build-up within tree drip lines. 5. Protective fences shall surround the trees or group of trees, and will be located at the outermost limit of branches (drip line), for natural areas, protective fences shall follow the limit of construction line, in order to prevent the following: A. Soil compaction in the root zone area resulting from vechicular traffi c or storage of equipment or materials; B. Root zone disturbances due to grade changes (greater than 6 inches cut or fi ll), or trenching not reviewed and authorized by the city aborist; C. Wounds to exposed roots, trunk or limbs by mechanical equipment; D. Other activities detrimental to trees such as chemical storage, cement trunk cleaning, and fi res. 6. Exceptions to installing fences at tree drip lines may be permitted in the following cases: A. Where there is to be an approved grade change, impermeable paving surface, tree well, or other such site development, erect the fence approximately 2 to 4 feet beyond the aera disturbed; B. Where permeable paving is to be installed within a tree’s drip line, erect the fence at the outer limits of the permeable paving area (prior to site grading so that this area is graded separately prior to paving installation to minimized root damage); C. Where trees are close to proposed buildings, erect the fence to allow 10 feet of work space between the fence and the building. D. Where there are severe space constraints due to tract size, or other special requirements, contact the local cities arborist to discuss alternatives.
