Thro ughout the summer, the City will be executing a series o f tests to refine a business plan fo r the "virtual power plant". Georgetown is the largest city in Texas to secure 1 00 % of their purchased powe r from renewable sources. Curre ntly, municipally-owned electric utilitie s in Texas pay for power pro duced o utside of their service area. They then need to pay to transmit electricity o ver the state's electric grid. The grid is managed by the Electric Re liability Council of Texas or ERCOT. ERCOT passes alo ng transmission and distribution co sts to electric utilities. The re are inherit risks and lo sse s because ele ctricity travels lo ng distances before it can be used. With advances in smaller-scale renewable electricity production and energy storage , and the de plo yment of “smart switch” technolo gy, there is an opportunity to create a Virtual P ower Plant or VP P. The VPP e ssentially allows for the productio n of electricity and storage of energy within a utility’s service area. For the Mayo r ’s Challenge grant, the City proposed developing a business plan to lease roo fto p space to install solar panels and storage batteries within the City to help create enough energy to off-set the ne ed to purchase power fro m outside sources. Locations for solar panel placement wo uld be determined by solar radiation studies already comple ted by the City. This will e nable the entire utility base to benefit from low cost power that can be shifted automatic ally between users to improve reliability during outages. It also allows the utility to also hedge against market price spikes in ERCOT. This workshop will be a high-level review of the Mayor's Challenge process, the work do ne to date , and will seek direction and input from Co uncil on next steps FINANCIAL IMPACT: On the regular agenda, there is an item to accept grant dollars in the amount of $10 0,0 00 to fund hard costs associated with the Mayor's Challenge.

We believe this is a better plan for everyone involved and have offered to discuss with all stake holders by phone on in person. Exhibit B attached shows the proposed location and layout of town homes near commercial and Hwy 29. If this plan is approved, we will work closely with the city to define architectural restrictions for the town homes. If the city has any examples or guidelines we are happy to review and work with.

Comments and Exhibits attached to the Application Page 48 of 67 Page 49 of 67 Page 50 of 67 Page 51 of 67 Page 52 of 67 City of Georgetown, Texas City Council Workshop April 24, 2018 SUBJECT: P resentation and discussio n regarding amendments to the Original Consent Agreement between Wolf Legacy, L.P., and the City of Georgetown, concerning Williamson Co unty Municipal Utility District (WCMUD) #28 and #29, and the Chapter 552 Agreement between WCMUD #28 and the City of Georgetown -- Wayne Reed, Assistant City Manager ITEM SUMMARY: Duke Kerrigan on behalf o f Hillwo od Communities, the master developer, has asked the City to co nside r an amendme nt to the original Co nsent Agreement between Wo lf Legacy, L.P., and the City o f Geo rgeto wn, concerning Williamson County Municipal Utility Districts (WCMUD) #2 8 and #29, and the Chapter 5 52 Agreement (55 2) be twe e n WCMUD #28 and the City o f Georgetown. The City is currently reviewing Hillwood’s request to amend the Wolf Ranch Residential P lanned Unit Deve lo pment (PUD) Development Plan. The City is currently reviewing the MUD, PUD, and 55 2 amendments concurrently to ensure consistency acro ss the applications. The pro posed amendments to the original Consent Agreeme nt are two fold. First, Hillwo od is seeking to incorporate a 366 acre property, referred to as the Guy Tract, into the boundary of the MUD (see Attac hment 1). This would increase the area of the MUD from 75 4 acre s to roughly 1,120 acres. Second, Hillwo od is seeking to increase the maximum bond issuance by $30 ,00 0,000 from $12 0,0 00 ,000 to $1 50 ,00 0,0 00 , while maintaining the existing $0.65/$100 Assessed Value (AV) tax rate. The increase in the bond issuance c orresponds with the propo rtional increase in infrastructure co sts needed to develop the additional Guy Tract acreage beyo nd the curre nt estimated c ost for the existing districts based upon information provided by Hillwoo d. The bonds are intended to c over the same eligible improve ments as are allowed in the original Consent Agreement, including water, wastewater, storm drainage, roads, bridges, recreational facilities, and refunding bonds. The pro posed amendment to the Chapter 552 Agreement involves a c hange to the property boundary and to the list and estimated costs of Public Impro vements. First, the boundary adjustment is necessary to keep the 55 2 Agreeme nt consistent with the MUD. Se c ond, the list of e ligible Public Impro veme nts would change to reflect a reduction in the scope and c ost asso ciated with regional collector roadways and an increase in the sco pe and cost asso ciated with regional trail improveme nts (see Attachments 2 and 3); the e stimated cost to construct the additio nal 2.2 miles of the regional trail along the So uth San Gabriel River is $3,0 49 ,02 4. However, the estimated cost of the Public Improvements wo uld re main unchanged at $16 ,35 7,9 96, which is preliminary and subject to change (see Attachment 2). The additional trail wo uld cross the Guy Tract, the City owne d Lyndo ch P ark site , and land owned by a third party (see Attachment 4 ). This trail extension would co ntribute to the re gio nal trail connection between do wntown and Garey P ark and represents about 4 0% of the trail length between I-35 and Garey Park. The modification would not change the “Maximum Reimburseme nt Amount” of $25 ,00 0,0 00 . Background In 2014, the City Co uncil approved a development agreement, annexatio n, a Comprehensive Plan amendment, and rezoning to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to facilitate the development kno wn as Wolf Ranch. The Wolf Ranch Residential P UD was appro ved in Decembe r 2014. In addition, the City consente d to the formation of Williamson Co unty Municipal Utility Districts (MUD) #28 and #29 in August 2 01 4 and approved the Chapter 55 2 Agreement in June 20 15 . Hillwood was able to initiate home building in under 3 0 months after the proje c t received its entitlements in 20 14. It has opened Phase One containing 2 13 single-family lots on approximately 80 acres and held a grand o pening for the first amenity c e nter (“The Den”) on April 5th. There are 112 single-family homes built o r under construction with 70 permits issued in 20 17 and 42 issued so far in 2018. The Hillstone at Wo lf Ranc h and Retreat at Wolf Ranch are two multi-family developments that have opened this year with 6 35 apartment units. At build-out, the current PUD will accommodate so me 1,700 single-family homes and 9 00 multi-family units. P hase Two of the single-family develo pment sho uld be breaking ground in the ne xt se veral months to maintain mo mentum.

(Hillwood) is seeking approval to amend the existing Consent Agreement to allow for land currently owned by the Britton Family Trust and Guy Jr Family Trust (Guy Tract) to be annexed into the Williamson County Municipal Utility District 28 and Williamson County Municipal Utility District 29 (the “Districts”). The proposed annexation of the Guy Tract would increase the boundary of the existing Districts from 754 acres to 1,120 acres. The 1,120 acres (754 acre Wolf Ranch plus the 366 acre Guy Tract) are currently located in the City of Georgetown. Hillwood is currently working with Georgetown to amend an approved PUD (ordinance #2014-102 and #2016-20) to allow for multiple land uses within the current and proposed boundaries of the Districts. The proposed land uses include: Residential, HD- Residential, Moderate Density Residential, Commercial, Elementary School, Amenity Center and Parkland Dedication. All proposed land uses are consistent with the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The table below provides a comparison of the current and proposed acreage of the Districts. Page 64 of 67 Written Justification of the Request A Development Agreement checklist application is being submitted with the request for a Special District Consent Agreement. The Special District Consent Agreement request is to allow the Guy Tract to be annexed into the existing Districts and thereby allowing the Guy Tract to become part of the Districts which were approved in a previous Consent Agreement between the City of Georgetown and Wolf Legacy, LP. (dated August 2014 Document No. 2014095879). As part of the Special District Consent Agreement application, Hillwood is seeking approval to allow Bonds to be issued for the reimbursement of costs related to roads, water, wastewater and drainage infrastructure improvements as well as park improvements within the Guy Tract portion of the Districts. In addition, Hillwood is seeking approval to increase the maximum Bond Limit Amount from $120,000,000 to $150,000,000. The Bond Limit Amount increase corresponds with the proportional increase in infrastructure costs needed to develop the additional Guy Tract acreage beyond the current estimated cost for the existing Districts. Lastly, Hillwood is seeking consent approval to maintain the maximum tax rate limitation of $0.65 per $100 of assessed value. The $0.65 tax rate has already been levied within the MUD 28 and it is critical for the same tax rate to be applied across the Districts for continuity purposes for current and future residents and property owners within the Districts. Development Plan The land within the current and proposed Districts are to include Residential, HD- Residential, Moderate Density Residential, Commercial, Elementary School, Amenity Center and Parkland Dedication. All of these land uses and zoning designations are consistent with Georgetown’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Hillwood believes these land uses allow for flexibility in providing high quality and diverse housing options for current and future Georgetown residents. Hillwood envisions that the single family detached residential home prices within the Districts will range from the $300s to $700s and increase over time as future phases are delivered and homes are occupied. The overall master plan is expected to reach a full build out with all homes occupied by 2027. Upon the completion of the targeted residential and commercial buildout, the cumulative assessed value within the Districts is estimated to be $1,284,000,000. Based on the estimated assessed value and by utilizing the City of Georgetown’s current tax rate to the estimated assessed value generates approximately $5,392,000 of annual city tax revenue. Lastly, the Districts serve as an important component that allow Hillwood to deliver high quality infrastructure, park areas and regional trail improvements that will benefit the City. Page 65 of 67 The development plan aligns with the four major themes of the approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan through the following ways: Quality of Life • Embraces the character of Georgetown • Provides high-quality housing options for residents wanting to live in Georgetown area • Engages residents in community events and gatherings • Uses the natural settings as amenities for the community • Promotes education and cultural opportunities for youth and adults • Offers safe, attractive neighborhoods and streets for the residents Quality Growth / Sustainable Development • Connecting this master planned community to larger surrounding community • Offers multiple choices of housing for different lifestyles • Allows residents to live in a “walkable” community • High-quality, thoughtful development designed for the long-term • Locates residents near existing and future commercial and retail development Balanced Transportation / Mobile Efficiency • Enhances connectivity through added roads and infrastructure • Allows residents ability to walk or bike to retail and commercial developments Effective Governance • Offers quality services to residents • Follows development standards that provide quality product Based on the information above, Hillwood believes that the Districts will adequately meet the “unique factors” under the City’s Interim MUD Policy and Implementation Manual.
