Site plan approval for Eagle's Nest Apartments, a 1.22 acre
tract out of the east side of Lot 1, Block 7, of the Gabriel
Heights addition, cabinet B, slides 5-7. This approval requirej
the following variances:
1. Zoning Ordinance 2.0403 Area Regulations- Request is
to grant a reduction in the required front yard from
25 feet to 15 feet.
2. Zoning Ordinance 6.106 Yard Regulations- Request is to
grant approval for construction of three parking spaces
in the requested 15 foot front yard.
3. Density Standards- Request is to grant an increase in
the maximum allowable density standard recommended by
the Planning Department from 20 Living Units per Acre to
26 Living Units per Acre.
M
Facts:
Location: West of IH 35, east of Park Lane, on the south
side of Clay Street.
Surrounding Uses: Mini Storage warehouses and a duplex are
to the northwest; Georgetown Inn is to the
southwest; a Texaco service station is to
the southeast; and across the street (NE)
is vacant land.
Surrounding Zoning: Residential Multifamily (RM -3) to the
Northwest and Local Commercial District
(C-1) on all other sides.
Existing Zoning: C-1 Local Commercial District
Proposed Use: 32 one and two bedroom apartments at a density
of 26 units per acre
Development Plan: Commercial use is recommended, the proposed
District 4b use and existing zoning are substantially
in conformance with the plan.
History: The site is a part of Lot 1, Block 7, of the Gabriel
Heights Subdivision as recorded September 2, 1964.
This lot was formed by metes and bounds on April
15, 1975, Vol. 608, page' 390. The most recent research
of the planning department reveals this to be an
unplatted resubdivision, however in the pre -
development conferences the applicant and staff
had reason to believe that 1977 was the cut off
date for metes and bounds resubdivision. The
covenants filed on the record plat require a front
building setback of'30 feet. These covenants can
be changed by a majority vote of property owners
after January 1, 1974.
Analysis: All three requested variances revolve around one
central issue, over utilization of the site.
If the standard density of 20 units/acre is used,
the number of units would be reduced to 25 and
the required parking spaces reduced to'37. Thus,
if the number of units proposed were reduced
by 7 and the number of parking spaces reduced
by 11, then no variances would be needed. It
should also be noted that this reduction in
impervious cover would reduce the amount of
stormwater run-off and compliment applicants
request for administrative variance from
stormwater detention requirements.
It should also be noted that if this property were
rezoned to RM -3 District, which would allow the
proposed use, then a 15 foot front yard would be
allowed. However, the parking therein would still
be in violation.
With regard to the density standard, this project as
proposed does meet the minimum lot size required for
32 living units under Ordinance Section 2.03032.(a)
which requires 1.16 acre minimum lot area as compared
to the 1.22 acres of this site. Clearly, the application
of "standards" or guidelines in the review of development
proposals carries less authority than do the "restrictions"
of the Zoning Ordinance. However, they do serve an
important role in the creation of a more consistant and
uniform development climate throughout the community.
The primary justification presented by the applicant
for the granting of these variances is that "various
City officials" have given direction that the development
be reviewed under RM -3 District regulations. According
to the applicant this direction was received intermittantly
beginning in 1980 and as recently as 1984. Section 11.206
of the Zoning Ordinance establishes the Board of Adjustment
(City
• as the authority to hear and •-
appeals where there is alleged to be error in any determination
by the administration official.
Variance #1 Area Regulations- No objection
Variance #2 Parking in front yard - Denial
Variance #3 Density standards - Denial

Preliminary/ Final Plat approval for • a 2.02 acre
subdivision situated inthe A. Flores Survey, Abstract No. 235,
near the City of Georgetown, Williamson Countyt Texas.
Location: Lies in the southwest corner of the intersection
of County Road 151 and Hwy 81. Lies within the
Georgetown E.T.J. and the Edwards Aquifer Recharge
Zone. Within 2 miles of Georqetown Municipal
Airport.
Surrounding Uses: w• • mini -warehouse storage units,
and various commercial uses.
Proposed Use: Commercial
Development Plan: Industrial use is recommended, the
District 5c proposed use substantially conforms to
the plan.
Analysis:
The location of this subdivision in the triangular area
bounded byCounty Road 151 and Highway 81, across from
the high school draws special concern for three reasons:
1.) Its proximity to the school (as indicated in the
supplement to the Comprehensive plan) treats a concern
that its development be compatible with the school. The
exact nature of the proposed use warrants closer examination
and some kind of review mechanism further on in the development
process as its usage becomes more defined. The traffic
generated by these lots and how it impacts on Hwy 81 also
effects this area.
21 Because this site is outside of the City limits,and
is not proposed for City utility service, developers are
not required to obtain building permits for their development.,,
Lacking these normal control mechanisms, there is a susceptibility
to the proliferation of substandard development in this
area.
The enforcement of good site planning, the drainage
ordinances, traffic safety, and specific land use controls
can only be enforced by such mechanisms as an agreement with
the County Health Department to coordinatO-;F) the issuance
of septic permits or the voluntary compliance of the developer.
Therefore, the Commission may wish to recommend that the
approval of the plat be conditioned upon its approval
of a site development plan.
3.) The final concern is that of fire protection.
There are two aspects of this condition, the first of which
is public safety. The proposed water source for this development,
Jonah Water Company, has indicated that they cannot provide
adequate pressures and flows to meet Fire Insurance Board
standards. Thup, the risk to life and property is increased.
Secondly, the failure to provide "adequate" utilities for
these areas during subdivision development reduces the
attractiveness of the area for future annexation and will
eventually result in either a hole in the area of the City,
or the expenditure of capital improvement fundsafter
annexation. Both the Fire Chief and the Public Works
Department have recommended disapproval of the plat for this
reason.
Additionally a 10' road widening dedication has been
requested by the County Commissioner. This would result in
a total R.O.W. width of 60 ft. which matches that normally
recommended by City Engineer for "local" streets in Commercial/
Industrial areas. The City Engineer has also recommended a
45 ft. radius be dedicated at the acute angle intersection,
with Hwy 81 to allow for turning movements of large trucks.
Staff Recommendation:
Plat should not be approved until the minimum fire
protection standards of the State Fire Insurance Board
have been met. However, If approved the following
conditions shall apply:
1. Plat shall meet all ordinance requirements,
2. Drainage requirements shall be met,
3*
Utilities being adequate. Water availability note shall
apply and Water certification letter from Jonah Water
Supply Corporation is required,
4. The following notes shall be added to the plat:
a. An approved site layout and drainage plan shall be
required for the lots shown on this plat
b. Drivewav access to the lots shall be te8tircted t4
one 24' approach for each lot except as otherwise
approved by City4
C. This subdivision li-
'- .
Recharge Zone. An approved Water Pollttlon Abatement
Plan is required.
5. A 10 ft. dedication for road widening shall be required
along County Road 151 and a 45 ft. radius shown at its
intersection with Hwy 81.
P&Z Recommendation: (5-r1V
1-0
Approval of plat conditional upon the above being satisfied
and with the additional condition that:
6.) The minimum fire protection standards of the state
Fire Insurance Board shall be met.
Additionally, the Commission unanimously approved a
motion to request that the City Council authorize the
Public Works Department to conduct a study of the
feasibility of extending City water and sewer service
into the area bounded by HWY 81 and County Road 151.
City Council Action: (4-0, 1 abstention
Approval per conditions listed above and authorize the
Pudic Works Department to conduct a study of the,
feasibility of extending City water and sewer service into
the area bounded by HWY 81 and County Road 151 and

There is also a concern over fire protection.
The proposed water source for this development,
Jonah Water Company, has indicated that they
cannot provide adequate pressures and flows
to meet Fire Insurance Board standards. Thus,
the risk to life and property is increased.
Secondly, the failure to provide "adequate" utilities
for these areas during subdivisions development
reduces the attractiveness of the area for future
annexation and will eventually result in either
a hole in the area of the City, or the expenditure
of capital improvement funds after annexation.
Both the Fire Chief and the Public Works Department
have recommended disapproval of the plat for this
reason.
Staff Recommendation:
Disapproval of plat until such time as fire protection
standards of the State Fire Insurance Board have been met,
However, if approved over this recommendation the following
conditions shall apply:
I. All ordinance requirements shall be me -V
2— All drainage requirements shall be met including
detention,
3. All utilities being .•-# water availability

Jonah Water Supply Company shall be submitted,
4- An aDoroved Water Pollution AbatementPlanis required,

Facts
Location: west of IH 35 and River Ridge II A with 6031 of
frontage on the northside of R.M. 2243
Surrounding Uses: Land opposite2243 to the south is largely
undeveloped; to the east from the south are
proposed 1 commercial lot, 1 four-plex lot
and 6 normal single family lots; to the north
and west are proposedinormal single family
residences
River Ridge III A (con.!
Proposed Use: 32 single family units at 5.56 units per acre,
4 fourplexes (16 units) and 24 duplexes (48 units)
at 9.55 units per acre. Total number of units
is 96 at a density of 6units per acre.
Development plant normal residential is recommended by the plan4
Multifamily use is • • with the plan.
History: The preliminary plat of Rivet Ridge III was passed
on June 25, 1985 by the City Council. All conditions of
the preliminary • relevant to been
met. Variances were granted zrt-preliminary staget
• the following:
A. Street Centerline Radii Jett than 300' - River
Down Drive and Tower Drive.
B. Street Centerline Radii less than 800' - River
Ridge Drive.
C. 100' tangent between reverse curves River Ridge
Drive.
D. Lots at right angles: Block "S", Lot 9,10
Block "V", Lot 1
Analysis.- This plat represents the first of three sections
for the River Ridge Three 8ubdivisi'
on. An adjacent
subdivision under separate ownership known as Riverview
Estates has also been approved. Thus, coordination
with adjacent developments at various stages is
important and is an inherent condition of approvali
There.are several technical ordinances requirements
which will be corrected Prior to plat reoordation
including the indication -of proper building setbacks
and utty easements, some street data, renaming
of Oakwood Drive, etd4 Also the drainage easement
on Block "T" and "U" has not been approved by
City Engineer and may require adjustment. I
Buffering lots 1-7 of Block "S" from the negative
visual a�d noise impacts of R.M. 2243 should be
required4 A landscape buffer of native evergreen
trees U.e. juniper) would be a better noise
filter than a fence in addition to requiring less
maintenance. A fence or some other suitable buffer
should be required along the rear of lots 8-10, Block
11811 to buffer the higher intensity land uses from
the proposed single fmaily use in Riverview Estates.
While the lots in the multi-famliy area app�ar.t
meet minimum ordinance requirements, the buildlini
River Ridge III A (con.)
department has expressed concern over the difficulty
in building units to ordinances requirements on small
irregularly shaped lots. Thus, in order to avoid
future variance requests we recommend that builders
be required to have approved site plans prior to
issuing permits.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval with the following conditions:
I. Plat shall be revised to meet all ordiance
requirements prior to council action.
II. Drainage requirement shall be met.
III. Utilities being adequate.
IV. A Water Pollution Abatement Plan is required.

A. Fence a-n&-1eTkd-ae&j5-iTrg-buffers shall be required
along the rear of all lots in Block "S". -.
Bi An approved site plan shall be required prior
to issuance of building or utility permits
for all lots it Block "S" and Block "T".

inary stage
shall apply. (refer to "History" section)
VII. Granting of the following additional variances upon
request by applicant:
A. Block T, lots 3 & 4 - lots at right Angles.
M, Block Y, lots 6 & 7 - lots at right angles4

Surrounding Uses: The western half of this block is undeveloped;
single family dwellings surround the
property on the remaining sides
Proposed Use: one residence exists on the northern half
of the property, a second single family residence
is planned for the southern half.
Existing Zoning: R -S residential single family district
Development Plan: Normal residential is recommended; the
District 8b proposed use is substantially in conformance
with the plan and existing zoning.
History.- Proper notification for resubdivisioh has been done.
The applicant and the person under contract'for
the hew lot that would be created by this resubdivislon
have had extensive contact with the Planning
Department since late June, in order to determine
how to resubdivide for the purpose of moving
a historic home from Southwestern University
property into the City. During the several
conferences with the Planning Department.no
mention of the water availability note was madei
The note states that "no building permits shall
be issued until the City's water treatment facilities
are operational of an acceptablealternate source
is provided." On resubdivisions, the Planning
Department has interpreted the policy as being
applicable to hew lots cteatedi
Subsequent to the pre -development conferences
on this tract held in Jute, all prospective applicant
for resubdivision have been informed about the
applicability of the water note. The applicants
first notification of the water policy from the
Planning Department occured On August 9th, 1985.
The Public Works Department has confirmed that
there are to existing water pressure or availability
problems in this area4 I
Analysis: The issues before the Commission/ Council regarding
this plat are:
1. Should resubdivision of the property be approved?
2. Has a hardship for the applicant resulted from
the actions of the Planning Department and
does this hardship constitute sufficient cause
to grant variance from the existing water policy?
Regarding the first issue, this resubdivision
meets or exceeds all ordinance requirements excepting
the detention of stormwater. A variance from
Snvder Addition page 3
stormwater detention requirements has been requested because
the proposed development will not result it an increase in
stormwater run-off by 10% or 5 cf84 Per standard procedure
this request will be considered by staff in conjunction with
building Permit application.
Approval of the plat subject to the following conditions:
1. All ordinance requirements shall be met,
2. Drainage requirements shall be met,
3. Utilities being adequate. A waiver from the water
availability policy should be granted due to the
circumstances peculiar to this case and mentioned in
the analysis section of the Planning Report.
