City Council Meeting Minutes February 2, 2021 10. Consider denial of an Out of City Utility Extension request for water and wastewater services by Thomas K. Rhodes, on behalf of Top of the Hill Properties, LLC for approximately 4.851 acres, more or less, out of the J.M. Veramendi Survey, located at 128 Spring Road (previously approved on December 15, 2020), and provide direction to Staff. A motion was made by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Derrick, to approve the denial of an Out of City Utility Extension request for water and wastewater services located at 128 Spring Road. Shannon Mattingly, Director of Planning and Development Services reviewed the history of the zoning request which was recommended for denial by the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 28, 2018. The applicant withdrew their request and did not request that it be forwarded to city council. The applicant then submitted an application for an ETJ development. They also applied for out -of -city utilities. A presentation was provided regarding the Spring Ranch Villas which is proposed to be 29 residential buildings with 4 to 5 bedroom units each. Mayor Hughson asked about the street width of 20ft pavement with 4ft shoulders and if they will be required to build the full street or just half. Ms. Mattingly stated that they will be required to build and dedicate their half of the street. Assistant Director of Engineering Richard Reynosa stated that they will be required to widen to the 20' road and 4' shoulder on their side of the roadway. Mr. Reynosa noted that the parcel is in the Edwards Aquifer Recharge and Contributing Zones. He provided the environmental considerations impervious cover of 60% max with only 45% proposed on the application. He also noted the requirement for water quality included 87.5% TSS removal and the applicant proposes a wet pond to achieve this. Director of Public Services, Mr. Tom Taggart stated the utility alternatives to connect to city services for water and wastewater. The wastewater service would be to have a on site sewage facility or discharge permit. The water service is to drill a well or connection to other service provider to CCM. Mayor Hughson asked Mr. Taggart to elaborate on what permits would be required to provide utilities to this parcel of land which is in the city's water and wastewater CCNs. Their options for wastewater are to create their own on-site sewage facility which would require a permit from Hays County or apply to obtain a Texas pollution discharge permit from the Texas City of San Marcos Page 17
