City Council <br />Meeting Minutes December 15, 2020 <br />Mayor Pro Tem Derrick asked Mr. Siefert if there is consideration of having a <br />restrictive covenant on the two lots. Mr. Siefert stated those two lots were <br />zoned 5 years ago and the density of the proposed project was cut in half with <br />10,000 sq ft lots. <br />Council Member Gleason advised Mr. Siefert that he would like for him to go <br />back to P&Z because a super majority vote would be needed tonight and if the <br />item goes back and gets a recommendation approval from P&Z, it will allow <br />time to find a solution and would need simple majority vote. <br />Ms. Mattingly stated there are other zoning districts in addition to SF 6 and <br />they couldn't come back with SF 6 and there is an SR -R for a rural setting. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Derrick asked if the current owners are going to develop <br />themselves. Mr. Siefert stated they are land developers and not home builders. <br />Mr. Siefert asked Council what they might view as a supportive project and <br />would like to know what council would approve. Mr. Siefert supports going <br />back to P&Z. Council Member Gleason stated that he would like to see the 14 <br />acres with one to two homes on each acre and the SF -R would not be dense <br />enough. He would also be interested in the comments from the neighbors and <br />the P&Z commission. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Derrick stated there needs to be less density and inquired <br />about how much will be dedicated parkland.Mr. Siefert does not recall how <br />much needs to be dedicated. Mayor Pro Tem Derrick stated if there is public <br />access to the parkland to the spring natural area that would be a plus to the <br />neighbors. She inquired about the expense of the traffic impact analysis. Ms. <br />Mattingly stated the traffic impact analysis is not part of the zoning. If the <br />developer knows how the project will look like maybe they can do a traffic <br />impact analysis but with this zoning and the units there is not a huge impact <br />on the residential side. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Derrick expressed concerns on safety and neighbors talking <br />about runoff with flooding. Ms. Moyer stated the project is on the contributing <br />zone to the transition zone and the runoff can't exceed existing conditions. The <br />developer stated there are detention requirements and water quality volume <br />with low flowage stored to avoid erosion and there are a lot of environmental <br />constraints. Mayor Pro Tem Derrick stated the City does not allow <br />displacement of water from one development to another development. <br />MOTION TO POSTPONE: a motion was made by Council Member Gleason, <br />City of San Marcos Page 11 <br />
