reviewed the percentage of green space in the revised plan which was provided to
Council during the work session at the September 24th meeting. Mr. Comstock stated the
total open space is 17.3 percent or .94 acres. Council member Rodriguez asked if this
was the same as in the original plan. Mr. Comstock replied that the total percentage of
open space was reflected as the same. The applicant took five feet from the Mid-Cities
Boulevard setback and five feet from Holiday Lane and moved into the middle, so it is
conceivable that the overall open space is unchanged.
Council member Wright Oujesky asked Planning Director Clayton Comstock at what time
did staff receive the revised plat on Monday, September 24th. Mr. Comstock stated at
9:47a.m. Council member Wright Oujesky asked Mr. Comstock if that was enough time
for he and his staff to review as the Council had received the plat at 6:00 p.m. that same
day. Mr. Comstock stated it was difficult because staff relies heavily on their
Development Review Committee and the process in place. Mr. Comstock continued that
the amount of time was not sufficient for the entire Development Review Committee to
review the plans.
Council member Wright Oujesky asked Mr. Comstock if staff had the opportunity to
review the parking on the new plan as related to trash and recycling collection. Mr.
Comstock stated that through the development review process staff had asked the
applicant to reach out to Republic Services and is not sure of the outcome at this time.
Mr. Comstock indicated staff reached out the Republic Services but had not heard back
from them as of yet. Mr. Comstock went on to say that the four dedicated parking spaces
per unit count would be diminished on trash collection days.
Mayor Pro Tern Benton asked if there were any further questions for staff.
Council member Rodriguez stated Mr. Comstock's answers had resolved some of his
concerns.
City Attorney Maleshia McGinnis clarified that the item must have a motion and a second,
so if the item has no motion or second the item will not be considered.
Mayor Pro Tern Benton asked if there were any additional questions or clarification from
staff on item D.1.
There being no more questions on this item Mayor Trevino returned to Work Session at
6:07 p.m.
Mayor Trevino asked if there were any questions on other items on the agenda.
Council member Lombard asked City Manager Mark Hindman to clarify the issuing of
October 08, 2018
City Council Meeting Minutes
Page 2 of 14
bonds for the capital street improvements project rather than funding through the
operating fund. Mr. Hindman said had the project been funded through the operating
fund and not debt service it would have pushed us over the roll back rate and added that
the debt service is for a five year period.
2. WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION - PUBLIC OFFICIAL, PUBLIC EMPLOYEE
OR CITIZEN.
There was no one present to introduce at the meeting.
3. DISCUSS PROCESSES RELATED TO ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT
REVIEW.
Mayor Trevino called on Planning Director Clayton Comstock to review the overall
development process with council.
Mr. Comstock shared that the process begins with exploratory and pre - application
meetings with applicants to understand their goals and identify the best path to achieve
them. Second is the Development Review Committee; this involves multi-disciplinary
review based in development codes and best practices, free from political influences, and
subjective recommendations/comments based on city goals, prior Council decisions and
established plans/policies. From the Development Review Committee the request goes to
the Planning and Zoning Commission where there is citizen input. The process is
transparent through an independent reviewing body. Lastly, the request goes to City
Council. The City Council establishes development goals, plans, and policies; and
approves or denies zoning, subdivision, and development applications. Mr. Comstock
went on to share examples of evaluation criteria for the Development Review Committee
and defined Planned Developments, Special Use Permits and Special Development
Plans.
Mayor Trevino shared with council his concerns with the development review process.
Mayor Trevino was complimentary of staff and shared that some city council members
had concerns with political influences and transparency. Mayor Trevino suggested
Council to be cautious of meeting with developers and individual citizens before their item
is considered at a City Council meeting. These actions do a disservice to our citizens
and staff. Lastly, being mindful of a potential daisy chain quorum when speaking with
other council members as to violate the Open Meetings Act. Mayor Trevino turned it over
to Council for discussion.
Council member Wright Oujesky agreed that it undermines staff and the process,
citizens and citizen transparency. It is important to be transparent in all Council
decisions.

Council member Lombard agreed with Council member Wright Oujesky. The potential is
there for abuse of the system and internal turmoil within staff and Council. Council
member Lombard stated it is bad practice to meet with developers while they are still
going through the process.
Council member Welch commented that its important for developers to meet the criteria
and goals of the city while being transparent. In the end developers must be in
compliance with all applicable departments and services.
Mayor Pro Tem Benton agreed that moving forward it should not be the practice of
Council meeting with developers.
Council member Rodriguez echoed that the last thing we want to do is to circumvent staff
and their position. We trust staff as well as the development community.
Mayor Trevino reiterated that the development process should not undermine staff and
his concern for the daisy chain.
Council member Barrow agreed with the sentiment.
City Manager Mark Hindman added that from a staff perspective it is important to bring
Council the best information and to work out any issues before coming to Council. Mr.
Hindman continued that occasionally there is the need to address a policy and in those
instances it may require meeting with Council to receive direction while maintaining
above board communication. This will assist the applicant in making a good decision
knowing the vision of the City Council.
Mayor Trevino suggested that if these types of opportunities arise that staff can set up a
called meeting and post and Council can meet as a group.
City Manager Mark Hindman agreed with Mayor Trevino and went on to say that we have
a good relationship and we want to maintain the good relationship with our development
community as they are critical to our community. We want them to be our partners
moving forward. Staff wants to make sure we give the developers the best advice and
Council the best information in order to make a good decision. It makes for a smoother
process.

Mayor Pro Tern Benton called on Planning Director Clayton Comstock to introduce the
item.
Mr. Comstock summarized the Council memorandum and stated for reference, the
motion to approve Ordinance 3539, subject to the exhibits presented by the applicant
during the City Council meeting, passed 4-2 on September 24, 2018. Mr. Comstock
briefly presented the proposed development and provided site photos of the property and
displayed the current Comprehensive Land Use Plan and existing Zoning Map.
Mr. Comstock went over the changes in the plan that the applicant provided to the
Council at their work session on September 24, 2018 and spoke to the Council's previous
concerns regarding parking, trash and recycling collection.
Applicant John Pitstick, 700 West Harwood Road, representing Beaten Path
Development, addressed the parking and trash concerns of the Council. Mr. Pitstick
stated he contacted Republic Services today regarding the alleys and David McCarty
from Republic said he would be happy to review the plat. Mr. Pitstick told Mr. McCarty
this development is the same as existing one way alleys with the same depth at Madalyn
Mews and Monticello Mews in Hometown on Bridge Street across from the elementary
school. Mr. Pitstick stated Mr. McCarty said this shouldn't be a problem, as they back in
as long as the alley is not too deep. Mr. Pitstick stated that Mr. McCarty did not see a
problem once he mentioned these other two areas. Mr. Pitstick shared that they have
added a shaded structure area in the primary open space, the change is basically
moving the open space from the outside to the inside. Mr. Pitstick was available to
answer questions from the Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Benton asked Mr. Pitstick to clarify whether residents would be putting
trash out on the street or if the truck would now be backing down the alley. Mr. Pitstick
shared photos from two dead end alleys in Hometown off of Madrid Street both facing the
Mews area. Mr. Pitstick reiterated that Republic said it was not a problem that they could
back their trucks in and there would be no need to place the trash on the street but in the
alley.
Council member Lombard clarified with Mr. Pitstick that this was true for the recycling
trucks as well. Mr. Pitstick said yes.
Council member Wright Oujesky asked Mr. Pitstick if Republic had actually had a
chance to review the plans.
Mr. Pitstick stated that once the zoning is approved they would plat the property and he
assumed the Development Review Committee would notify Republic Services at that
October 08, 2018

point. Mr. Pitstick stated that Republic had not seen the plat and repeated that they had
contacted the person at Republic and shared with him about Madalyn Mews and
Monticello Mews and he indicated he was familiar with that area and that it shouldn't be a
problem and they would back in at that location; and would be happy to work with them as
the plat moved forward.
Council member Welch asked Mr. Pitstick if before the next meeting would it be possible
to send the site plan over to Republic and receive some sort of correspondence back
before the next meeting?
Mr. Pitstick said yes.
Council member Welch said that it was a sticking point with some of the Council
members that it would be better to clear it up now than further down the road.
Mayor Pro Tern Benton asked Council if they had any clarifying questions for the
applicant or staff.
Council had no questions for the applicant or staff.
