IT E M S UMMARY:
T he Lawhon P lanned Unit Development (P UD) is loc ated at the no rthwest inters ectio n o f P atrio t Way and
S an Ho usto n Avenue. T his mixed us e development integrates both res id ential and non residential uses. I n
o rd er to c o nnec t the res idential and commerc ial areas , s trong p ed es trian links are p ro p o s ed . P er the draft
P UD doc ument, the s ingle family res id ential units s hould no t exc eed 210 units and the low dens ity multi
family res id ential units s hould no t exc eed 175 units . P er the P arkland dedic atio n code in the UDC , the
req uired p arkland d ed icatio n fo r the s ingle family would be a maximum o f 2.625 acres. Typ ically multi
family p ays fee in lieu, but in this c as e the develo p er plans to join the p arkland req uirement fo r MF whic h is
1.59 ac res with the S F req uirement fo r a total p arkland requirement of 4.24 ac res . T he develo p er is
p ro p o s ing to s et as id e 9.6 ac res for p arkland. Due to the desire o f the d evelo p er to have multip le pond s in
the parkland, p rivate parkland credit of 50% was s uggested . T his o p tion gives the d eveloper the flexib ility
to create a p ark s pac e witho ut the res tric tion o f dedic ating land aro und the pond s whic h will b e us ed as wet
p o nds p ro vid ing detentio n and water quality. T he p ark p lan inc ludes 9.6 ac res of p rivate parkland which
will inc lude a s trong trails s ystem linking the res id ential portio ns o f the p rojec t with the no n-residential
elements . All trails will be a minimum o f six feet (6’) wid e. O ther recreational elements may inc lude, but no t
b e limited to p laygro und equip ment, p avilion with p icnic areas and a half-c ourt b as ketb all c o urt. T hese
amenities mus t be non exclus ive and o p en to the p ublic . T he o ther 50% of the parkland d ed icatio n
req uirement will be p aid in fees. T he p rivate p arkland will be maintained by the HO A.
S taff is sup portive o f this p arkland proposal as it is a win-win for b o th the develo p er and the C ity.

EXHIBIT A
Development Plan
Lawhon Planned Unit Development (the “PUD”)
I. Property
The Lawhon Planned Unit Development is located at the northwest intersection of Sam
Houston Avenue and Patriot Way. It consists of approximately 146.8 acres described in
Exhibit B, Field Notes, herein defined as “Property”.
II. Purpose
The purpose and intent of the PUD zoning district is to develop a horizontally integrated
mixed-use community with a mix of residential product types and non-residential uses. This
PUD services to augment and/or modify the standards for development outlined in the City
of Georgetown Unified Development Code (UDC) in order to implement the vision for the
Property and insure a cohesive, quality development not otherwise achieved solely by the
underlying base zoning district. In accordance with UDC Section 4.06.010.C “Development
Plan Required”, this Exhibit A, Development Plan is a summary of the development and
design standards for the Property.
The contents of this Development Plan explain and illustrate the overall appearance and
function desired for the Property.
III. Overview: “Live-Work-Play”
Pedestrian connectivity and spaces conducive to social interaction is of importance to bridge
the residential and non-residential areas and create an integrated neighborhood. Outdoor
social spaces will be incorporated into the residential areas with strong pedestrian links to
the adjoining non-residential areas. Additional outdoor social spaces will surround non-
residential development with extensive inviting trails while creating an open “Live-Work-
Play” environment for resident’s office campus and employees/visitors/shoppers within the
retail hubs.
The pedestrian areas will be highlighted with ample sidewalks and trail connections
throughout the parks in both the residential and non-residential areas. Amenities such as
themed lighting, seating nodes, trash receptacles, bike racks, pedestrian trails and
landscaping throughout the site will stimulate and encourage walkable spaces. With the
addition of hardscape and landscape, a stormwater management system will be incorporated
into the PUD area, offering waterfront recreational opportunities surrounding the residential
neighborhoods as well as non-residential development opportunities. Wet stormwater
management ponds will serve as a primary attraction within the community. Exhibit H,
Non-Residential Area Use Concept, while conceptual in nature, illustrates the conceptual
interconnectivity of the residential and non-residential area uses on the property. The site
Page 11 of 49

D Project Updates and Staff Report - Kimberly Garrett, Parks and Recreation Director
Eric Nuner stated even with COVID-19 issues we have been able to get some projects done. On the ADA
trail reconstruction, legal has reviewed the bid documents and they are back in purchasing and this
should be bid over the next couple of months and will come back to the board in February. This is for
renovations along the trail that may not be in compliance with ADA. Golden Bear Park is complete and
there was extra funding and had public input that wanted some adult fitness equipment. This should be
installed before the next meeting. The Grace Heritage Plaza project is complete. Village PID project
renovation is complete. The Tennis Center Pool project is complete. The Wolf Crossing Trail in late
December we received 60% complete drawings from the consultant and staff will continue to refine
those construction documents. There is a trail layout and will work with the topography and crossings.
This will connect to the Wolf Ranch Trail. Heritage Gardens is moving forward and staff receive public
input from the gardeners that have been using the garden. Staff received valuable information from
them and confirmed staffs thought. Staff hopes to be open by winter. Master Plan had eight bidders
and the top 3 firms will be interviewed later in the month. The finalist will be brought back to the board
and council in February. Chad Holz asked about the capital improvement projects that were put on hold
due to unknown and uncertainty due to COVID and if they will come back again or are we waiting for the
masterplan. Eric Nuner stated the items that were frozen are the ones we are working on now. They
were all deferred from last year. The one that was planned was the design for San Gabriel Park and that
one is deferred to 2022.
Legislative Regular Agenda
E Consideration and possible action to recommend approval of a parkland maintenance
agreement with Lakeside at Lake Georgetown Community Association- Kimberly Garrett, Parks and
Recreation Director
Kimberly Garrett stated there was an agreement in the packet for review. Kimberly Garrett showed the
location of the park on a map and stated the subdivision is now completely built out. She stated they
Page 46 of 49
wanted to maintain the park so it could be maintained at a higher standard. She stated there are 2
parks in their subdivision. She stated this park backs up and has access to the US Army Corps of
Engineer property at Lake Georgetown. This park is a more passive park. The agreement helps the city,
and staff can monitor the parks routinely to make sure they are following the agreement.
Motion made by Wayne Beyer, second by Danelle Houck to recommend approval of a parkland
maintenance agreement with Lakeside at Lake Georgetown Community Association.
Approved 7 – 0
F Consideration and possible action to approve the parkland dedication proposal for the
Bluffview Subdivision - Kimberly Garrett, Parks and Recreation Director
Kimberly Garrett showed the map of the area and gave history on the property. She stated the property
fronts Leander Road all the way to the South San Gabriel and touches Lyndoch Park. Lyndoch Park is
owned by the City of Georgetown but has no access. Kimberly Garrett stated they have been working
with the developer for quite a while and when the bypass came through it changed the thought process
on what the property would look like. The developer then came to the city to discuss a PID. The
developer would have to provide a very desirable feature for the community for the city to allow them
to create a PID. Kimberly Garrett stated this development would provide much needed access to the
proposed regional trail on the South San Gabriel River. She stated they wanted to be able to get people
to the river on this side of town. This area has steep slopes. The developer is proposing to build a 12-
space parking lot. They would build a trail. She stated the city manager’s office was supportive of this
project as well and would be a great benefit because if we do not have this access, we do not have a
way down to the river trails. Kimberly Garrett stated with the PID they are dedicating 37 acres and
improvements; they must go above and beyond and building that trail down that slope is not cheap; and
they will be spending over a million dollars on this parkland to provide access to the neighborhood and
general public as well. A summary of what they are providing through their PID; entry road, the parking
lot, the trail and then making that connection to the regional trail. She stated she is very supportive of
this and feels it is a benefit to the community. She stated City Council has seen the package and they
are supportive of moving forward with all the deal points that staff and the developer has worked out.
She stated there are multiple other agreements to work out and this is only one piece. In addition to
the PID, this development also has a PUD document and a parkland improvement agreement.
Wayne Beyer asked about how many spaces were in the parking lot. Kimberly Garrett stated there are
12 spaces. Wayne Beyer asked about it being shut down at a certain time. Kimberly Garrett stated
there will be trail hours. Wayne Beyer asked if people would be able to take BBQ grills down there.
Kimberly Garrett stated that staff hasn’t look at that level of detail but there can be rule signs posted.
Wayne Beyer asked if this is the only parking area and it looks like there is connections to River Down
which is a dead-end street. He stated it looked like there was an overlook there. Kimberly Garrett
stated there is a huge ravine there and the developer has proposed that this be a privately maintained
viewing area. Wayne Beyer asked if people could park there and Kimberly Garrett stated they could
because it is a public street. She stated it is a good way for them to walk all the way down to the river.
Chad Holz asked if that is a sidewalk that goes along the road. Kimberly Garrett stated there will be a
sidewalk. Jolene Melancon asked about a time frame for this project. Kimberly Garrett stated she has
been working with this project for 2.5 years and her estimate would 2 years out for construction.
Wayne Beyer asked if Hillwood would be building the trail at the same time. Kimberly Garrett said she
doesn’t have their schedule yet and stated it could all happen about the same time.

G Consideration and possible action to recommend approval of the parkland dedication
proposal at the Parks at Westhaven. - Kimberly Garrett, Parks and Recreation Director
Kimberly Garrett stated this development came to the board in November of 2019. This development
came to the board as a traditional development. Not too long after their planning process they wanted
to get PID financing for their development. The parkland was already approved then they came back
and wanted to do a PID. She stated with other MUD’s that have come in have been a no brainer as they
have been along the river corridor. With this one it is not on the river or a major corridor, so they have
proposed an all-abilities type playground for the community. Originally, they were required to dedicate
5 acres of land with the code and now they are looking at giving 16 acres and originally $400,000 in park
improvement and now they have $1.4 million in park improvements. There is heavy housing
development in this area and city council and staff felt this was a good plan. With the PID mechanism
they can provide a much larger park. The trail is confined to the development. Kimberly Garrett stated
that at Westhaven across the street, they have an amenity center, and they are going to marry up with
the Parks at Westhaven and be in the same HOA. They will provide access to their pool, splashpad and
playground as well. There are a lot of agreements that still need to be put in place. She stated they
definitely exceed their requirement. Chad Holz asked if the maintenance will be taken care of by the
city or the HOA. Kimberly Garrett stated there will be a landscape maintenance agreement and staff is
working on a replacement fund for the playground. Larry Gambone asked if this is good parkland,
meaning out of the flood plain. Kimberly Garrett stated it is in the floodplain. She stated some of it is a
natural drainage area. She also stated with this new plan we are getting more than with the old
development plan.
Motion made by Jolene Melancon, second by Larry Gambone, to recommend approval of the parkland
dedication proposal at the Parks at Westhaven.
Approved 7-0
H Discussion and possible action on selecting date for a possible special meeting. -- Kimberly
Garrett, Parks and Recreation Director
Kimberly Garrett stated we are trying to find a consultant for the master plan. There are interviews
scheduled with the 3 firms for the end of January. She would like to get this to council as soon as
possible. We will meet Monday, February 1st at 6 pm for this special meeting. No action only consensus
on a date and time for the special meeting.
I Consideration and possible action to approve minutes from the September 10, 2020 meeting -
Jill Kellum, Administrative Supervisor
Danelle Houck asked about the minutes; she left the meeting and did not actually adjourn but Larry
Gambone took over the meeting and adjourned the meeting.
Motion made by Wayne Beyer, second by Larry Gambone to approved the minutes as corrected for
the September 10, 2020 meeting.
