[00:05:05]

APPROXIMATELY 1050FT NORTH OF SHADY MOUNTAIN ROAD. LEANDER, TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS. STAFF PRESENTATION. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MARY LEE VAN LEUVEN, AND I AM WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THIS EVENING WE HAVE A ZONING CASE FOR THE OAKWOOD HILLS SUBDIVISION. THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO CHANGE THE DESIGNATED ZONING DISTRICT OF THEIR PROPERTY IN ORDER TO DEVELOP A LARGE LOT, SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO SUBMITTED A PETITION FOR ANNEXATION OF THIS TRACT. THE ANNEXATION MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE THE ZONING REQUEST MAY BE APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL, AND THE RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THE ANNEXATION SCHEDULE IS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD BY THE COUNCIL ON MARCH 6TH. SO, AS FOR THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES, IT'S LARGELY IN AN UNDEVELOPED AREA. AND IT'S CURRENTLY NOT ZONED.

IT'S GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF NAMELESS ROAD, AND IT'S NEAR THE SHADY MOUNTAIN OAKS DEVELOPMENT, AND IT'S LOCATED JUST ALONG SOUTH ALONG NAMELESS, AND THE TREVISO SUBDIVISION IS ALSO LOCATED FURTHER DOWN. NAMELESS ROAD. THE PROPERTY HAS SUBSTANTIAL TREE COVERAGE, WITH FEW EXISTING RESIDENCES, AND THE REMOVAL OF ANY TREES WILL BE REQUIRED TO MITIGATE IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TREE PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS. AS I SAID BEFORE, THE PROPERTY IS PROPOSED TO BE ANNEXED BEFORE APPROVAL OF THIS ZONING CASE AND NO PREVIOUS ZONING CASES OR SUBDIVISION CASES HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THIS PROPERTY. THIS PROPERTY ALSO, LIKE I SAID, IT HAS ACCESS ONTO NAMELESS ROAD. THEY CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE ANY UTILITIES, SO THEY WILL NEED TO EXTEND THE WATER AND WASTEWATER. AND THOSE CLOSEST UTILITIES ARE CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE TREVISO SUBDIVISION. AND AS FOR THEIR REVIEW OF THIS REQUEST, IT WAS REVIEWED BY ALL RELEVANT CITY OF LEANDER DEPARTMENTS AND ANY PLATS SUBMITTED WILL BE REVIEWED BY TRAVIS COUNTY ALONG WITH CITY STAFF. THERE WAS ALSO A DEVELOPMENT MEETING HELD WITH STAFF ON MARCH 4TH, 2024, AND NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE PROJECT SINCE THE DEVELOPMENT MEETING, AND THERE ARE NO ORDINANCE CHANGES SINCE THEN EITHER. THE CITY REACHED OUT TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200FT, AND THE AGENT REACHED OUT TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS OF PROPERTIES ZONED AS SINGLE FAMILY, OR ANY PROPERTIES USED AS SINGLE FAMILY USES WITHIN 500FT. AND NO CONCERNS WERE RAISED. AND YOU CAN SEE THE FULL REPORT FROM THE APPLICANT. THIS ZONING REQUEST FOR SFR DASH TWO B OR SINGLE FAMILY RURAL, IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE RURAL FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ZONING CASE, CONTINGENT ON THE ANNEXATION BEING APPROVED. AND I CAN BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. IS THE APPLICANT HERE? DO THEY WISH TO PRESENT? THANK YOU. HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING THIS EVENING? DOING WELL. MY NAME IS LUKE CARAWAY. I'M PRESIDENT OF VIEWPOINT ENGINEERING AND I'M REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT. WE DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION PREPARED THIS EVENING, BUT I'LL JUST BRIEFLY KIND OF JUST GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW ON THE PROPERTY. A COUPLE ONE CLARIFICATION I WANTED TO MAKE. IT WAS REFERENCED THAT WE WOULD BE EXTENDING WATER AND WASTEWATER. WE ARE PROPOSING TO EXTEND WATER TO THE PROPERTY, BUT SINCE WE WOULD BE DOING ONE ACRE LOTS, WE THOSE LOTS WOULD BE ON SEPTIC, SO WE WOULD NOT BE UTILIZING. WE WOULD NOT BE UTILIZING CITY SERVICES FOR WASTEWATER. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING, YOU KNOW, ONE ACRE LOTS AND ABOVE. THESE WILL ALL BE, YOU KNOW, HIGHER END HOMES. PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, NET WORTH. I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE TOO MUCH, BUT PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, 1 TO $2

[00:10:01]

MILLION HOMES. SO, YOU KNOW, LESS DENSITY. OVERALL, YOU KNOW, THE LAND PLAN THAT WE HAVE IS 205 LOTS. SO LESS THAN, YOU KNOW, LESS THAN ONE UNIT PER ACRE, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN PROBABLY HALF A UNIT AND THREE QUARTERS OF A UNIT PER ACRE. SO VERY LOW, VERY LOW DENSITY. LONGER BUILD OUT. SO, YOU KNOW, LESS IMPACT ON CITY UTILITIES. AND INFRASTRUCTURE. AND YOU KNOW THE DEVELOPMENT IS STRETCHED OUT MORE WHEN YOU DO A ONE ACRE COMMUNITY. THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE. IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WE'RE WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER THEM. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. MR. CALLAWAY. WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? OKAY. WITH THAT, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE'LL MOVE INTO DISCUSSION. AND I'LL START WITH MY RIGHT TO COMMISSIONER MORALES. NO OBJECTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM MYSELF. SOUNDS GOOD. COMMISSIONER LYDIA. NO COMMENTS FOR ME. OKAY. COMMISSIONER LANTRIP. NO COMMENTS. AND VICE CHAIR.

NOTHING FOR ME EITHER. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. I GUESS THAT MAKES ME THE LONE COMMENTER ON THIS ONE.

SO I I'M ACTUALLY IN APPROVAL OF THIS. I THINK IT'S A IT'S THE RIGHT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE AREA.

THE ONLY THE ONLY COMMENT I WANTED TO MAKE IS JUST GIVEN THAT IT'S PROXIMITY AND HOW IT BUTTS UP TO THE BALCONES CANYONLANDS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE. WHICH I'LL BE COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT. I'M AN ADVOCATE FOR. AND I ACTUALLY HIKE OUT THERE QUITE FREQUENTLY. I JUST THINK, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DO GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT FOR TREE REMOVAL, THAT YOU CONSIDER NOT JUST PRESERVING THE HARDWOODS THAT ARE REQUIRED BY THE COMPOSITE ZONING ORDINANCE, BUT ALSO LOOK AT THE MORE DEVELOPED AND MATURE ASH JUNIPERS, WHICH ARE A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE HABITAT. FOR THE REASON WHY THE BC NWR DOES EXIST. SO. IT'S NOT REQUIRED, BUT IT'S JUST SOMETHING I JUST HOPE YOU GUYS CAN KEEP TOP OF MIND. NO, ABSOLUTELY. AND I THINK THAT'S, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT REQUEST IS REALLY CONDUCIVE TO THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE PROPOSING. REALLY WHEN YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE DOING LARGER LOTS AND YOU'RE DOING A MORE HIGH END COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, MAKE MAKING SURE YOU'RE SAVING AS MUCH WOODED VEGETATION AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THESE THESE PEOPLE ARE MOVING INTO THAT COMMUNITY WITH A CERTAIN EXPECTATION. YOU ALSO ARE LIMITED IN THE AMOUNT OF LAND THAT YOU DISTURB. YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT FULLY GRADING LOTS OUT. YOU'RE REALLY MORE YOU KNOW, YOU'RE CONSTRUCTION IS USUALLY ISOLATED MORE TOWARDS ESTABLISHING AND CONSTRUCTING RIGHT OF WAY. THE PUBLIC STREETS. BUT A LOT OF TIMES YOUR YOUR ONE ACRE LOTS, YOUR RESIDENTIAL LOTS GET LEFT NATURAL. AND YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE IDEA IS TO BUILD WITHIN THAT AND TO MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF VEGETATION THAT YOU'RE SAVING. I APPRECIATE THAT, AND I ASSUME, YOU KNOW, AT THAT POINT, ONCE THE HOMEOWNER TAKES OWNERSHIP, IT'S UP TO THEM. THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THAT LOT. BUT EITHER WAY, JUST HOPING YOU CAN PRESERVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN OUT THERE AND JUST KEEP THAT TOP OF MIND. THAT'S ALL I HAD TO SAY. WITH THIS, IT'S AN ACTION ITEM. SO DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE? MOTION TO APPROVE.

SECOND. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY VICE CHAIR COLON AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LANTRIP. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO
