Case No. 0107-03 Reimco, LLC, Trustee: A change of zoning from a "R-1B" One-Family Dwelling District to an"AB"Professional Office District 6.928 acres of land out of the most westerly portion of Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, Section 12, Lot 21 located south of Wooldridge Road and west of Dewberry Drive. Faryce Goode-Macon presented the above case which was heard by Planning Commission on January 24, 2007 and tabled to enable meetings be held with the surrounding neighborhood. The meetings of January 31" and February 13, 2007 have been successful in reconciling some of the concerns involving the case. The proposed "AB" Professional Office District request for the expansion of a medical office facility is west of Coastal Bend Surgery, Wooldridge Road and Dewberry Drive. From the neighborhood meetings held and information received, the owner has agreed to a Warranty Deed Restriction which will prohibit specific uses as follows; development of multi family dwellings, duplexes,town homes,two-family dwellings, manufactured homes, boarding room or lodging houses, privates clubs, fraternities or sororities, service lodges conducted as a business, apartment hotels, assisted living facilities, bed and breakfast inns, childcare centers, beauty and hair salons, art, photography, sculpture or musician studios,and teaching of art, music,dancing or other artistic instruction. Grantee will not have the right of ingress or egress through the parcel of land to the east for the purpose of accessing Dewberry Street or Durant Street. There shall be no adverse effect created on adjacent or neighborhood properties by reason of dust, odor, vibration, glare or noise. The grantee shall provide directional lighting on the perimeter of said property with which will not cross over into the existing subdivision to the south. Of the notices that were mailed, opposition for the case is 25.64%. kpliPlanning Commission Minut February 21,2007 Page 8 However, the opposition is lowered to 16.04% with the filing of the Warranty Deed Restriction on the subject property. Staff recommends approval of the"AB" Professional due to the owner's agreement with the surrounding property owners to provide the Warranty Deed Restriction. Public hearing was opened. Tim Clower, Clower Company, Corpus Christi, Texas stated the success of the two meetings held with the neighborhood and that the opposition is now primarily from the adjacent business owner and Spohn Hospital. Ann Skaro, 2809 Chapel View, Corpus Christi, Texas stated Mr. Burgess is also in attendance from the Bent Tree Homeowners Association. Language has been placed in the Warranty Deed Restriction for Bent Tree Homeowners Association. The neighbors would like the document to also include enforcement of the restrictions to be extended to the Bent Tree Homeowners Association successors and assigns and the homeowners of Bent Tree and their successors and assigns. Tim Clower, Cower Company, stated no objection to Ms. Skaro's request. It will be re- drafted and completed prior to the case going to City Council. Rick DePriest, W.L. Bates, Corpus Christi, Texas stated representation of the adjoining owners of the Esplanade Subdivision and stated the owners still have significant concerns about the proposed development. The City plans to close Wooldridge Road for a two to three year period and due to the closure, traffic leaving the subject property and offsite parking will be a problem as access will be coming out on to Esplanade Drive or Spohn Drive. Mr. DePriest questioned whether a traffic study had been done by the applicant,and, if so,would like a copy of the traffic study for the area. Faryce Goode-Macon stated that the applicant is not required to provide a traffic study and such had not been requested by Staff. However, traffic and Wooldridge Road improvement information is available through the City Engineering and Traffic Engineering Departments. The Wooldridge Road expansion is cited as a short range project in the CEP program. There will be some detours and road closures during the improvement process to Wooldridge Road. Tim Clower, Clower Company, Corpus Christi, Texas stated that, in all probability, with a residential development there would be added traffic onto Wooldridge Road also. Mr. Clower stated there is ample capacity to cover the increased traffic. Public hearing was closed. Motion for approval was made by Vice-Chairman Garza and seconded by Commissioner Skrobarczyk. Motion passed unanimously with Commissioner Pusley being absent. Planning Commission MinutS February 21,2007 Page 9 2. New Zoning a.

Dan McGinn presented a Power Point presentation reviewing the above case requesting a "RE" Residential Estate District from a `R-IB" One-Family Dwelling District. The subject property is currently vacant and located south of Glenoak Drive between Flour Bluff Drive to the west and Waldron Field to the south. In 2004, an adjacent 18.21 acre tract of land was approved for an "RE"Residential Estate fronting on Glenoak Drive. The applicant is planning to combine the subject property of 73.442 acres with the 18.21 acres to build a large lot residential subdivision. The existing land use consists of vacant land to the north, estate residential to the east and A.I.C.U.Z. (flight hazard zone)to the south and west of the subject property. The future land use map calls for low density residential which is consistent with this request. The plat for this property was approved on January 24, 2007 and the developer will install wastewater lines on-site for future connection to the City's wastewater system. There were forty-six notices mailed out with zero returned in favor and one received in opposition. Staff recommends approval of this request. In answer to Commission Martinez,Mr. McGinn stated each lot is approximately 1.3 to 1.7 acres in size and is compatible with the Grand Reserve Plan. In answer to questions regarding proximity of the development to the air fields, Faryce Goode-Macon stated that notification is provided to a representative of the Navy keeping them informed of zoning cases proposed in their area. In answer to Commissioner Tamez,acreage fees will be established at the time of platting. Public hearing was opened. No one was in favor or opposition. Public hearing was closed. Motion for approval was made by Commissioner Martinez and seconded by Commissioner Tamez. Motion passed unanimously with Commissioner Pusley being absent. b.

Case No. 0207-06 MER,LLC: A change of zoning from a"F-R"Farm-Rural District to a "B-4"General Business District 10.000 acres out of a 259.98 tract of land out of The Gregorio Farias Grant, Abstract 592, located east along U.S. Highway 77 and approximately 7000 feet south of Up River Road.

Motion for approval was made by Commissioner Huerta and seconded by Commissioner Martinez. Motion passed unanimously with Commissioner Pusley being absent. VII. DISCUSSION ITEM Review of definition within Platting Ordinance for subdivided developer and reimbursement provision for Water Arterial Transmission and Grid Main Extensions. Planning Commission Minute/ February 21,2007 Page 11 Commissioner Braselton stated that he had requested that this discussion item be presented to Planning Commission. Mr. Braselton gave a brief overview of the developer trust funds and the difference between a sub-divider and a developer stating that this issue has been discussed widely within the development community during the past few months. Commissioner Braselton cited Rose Acres Subdivision, a plat that has been presented to Planning Commission but has not yet been approved. This subdivision is four and a half acres in size, and has had $400,000 been extended to them from the trust fund to install a water line in the area where there is no sewer or drainage available. The owner is Nueces County. This does not make economic sense and I don't believe the County should be authorized to access developer funds. This type of misuse of funds has happened in the past as with the London School District. Being a private entity,the County should have adequate ways to appropriate funds. Mr. Braselton stated the need to determine what qualifies as being a developer,who can use these monies and a procedure to be put in place to monitor these funds. Vice-Chairman Garza stated that the City is now in a position where some of these overdeveloped areas need infrastructure and the funding mechanisms to do so is not available. Consequently,the development fund is being utilized to do this. Vice-Chairman Garza stated his agreement with Commissioner Braselton's concerns. Juan Perales, Interim Assistant Director of Special Services/Planning referred to the Platting Ordinance that defines Developer/Subdivider and Reimbursement Procedures that read: Subdivider and/or Developer: The terms "subdivider" and "developer" are synonymous and used interchangeably, and shall include any person, partnership, firm, association, corporation, and/or any officer, agent, employee, servant, and trustee thereof, who does, or participates in the doing of, any act toward the subdivision of land within the intent, scope, and purview of this ordinance. The singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular. Credit and Reimbursements: (1) Arterial Transmission and Grid Main Extensions: In the event of the arterial transmission main or grid system is not in place when required for development, the developer may install that portion of arterial transmission main or grid main necessary to meet the Distribution System Standards, Water Transmission Master Plan, and Fire Suppression Rating Schedule, provided, however, the grid system shall be developed as approximate one mile grids beyond the existing grid to ensure that sufficient service is available. (Ordinance No. 17279, 09/29/82)(Ordinance No. 25424,08/19/03) (1)(i) Credits: If the developer installs such arterial transmission main or grid main,the developer shall be credited for the actual installation cost up to the amount of his lot acreage fee, provided an application for credit, including all cost-supporting documentation, has been submitted to the Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer prior to the installation of such grid main,and is approved by said Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer. (Ordinance No. 17279, 09/29/82) Planning Commission Minutil, V February 21,2007 Page 12 1)(ii) Reimbursement: If the developer costs for installation of such arterial transmission main or grid main are greater than the lot/acreage fee, the developer shall be reimbursed (less any lot/acreage fee credits) from funds available from the Grid and Arterial Transmission Mains Trust Fund for that portion of the arterial transmission main or grid main installed by the developer up to a maximum of that which is required by the Distribution System Standards to complete the next grid loop from the grid system in place or under construction prior to the developer's installation, i.e., if any portion of a grid loop is in place or under construction prior to the developer's installation, the developer may be reimbursed completing that grid loop, plus up to a maximum of one additional grid loop, if such installation is required by the Distribution System Standards. Provided, however, in order to be reimbursed as set forth in this subsection: (1) (ii) (1) The developer must submit an application for reimbursement, including all cost-supporting documentation,to the Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer prior to the installation of such arterial transmission or grid math; and (I) (ii) (2) If the location or size of the developer's proposed arterial transmission main or grid main is not consistent with the City's Water Transmission Master Plan, Distribution System Standards, and the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule, the developer's application for reimbursement may not be considered until an amendment to the Distribution System Standards has been approved by the City Council. The developer must prepare and submit a draft amendment to the Distribution Systems Standards to the Director of Engineering Services and Development Services. If the directors approve the proposed amendment, the amendment must be submitted to the Planning Commission for its recommendation and to the City Council for consideration. (Ordinance No.25424, 08/19/03) (1) (ii) (3) The submissions for draft amendments to the Distribution System Standards must address the current availability of related infrastructure (including wastewater service, adequate drainage facilities, and roads constructed to the standards of the Transportation Plan)at the site of the proposed development and all tracts of land along the route of the proposed transmission or grid main extensions. The draft amendment to the Distribution System Standards should contain a recommended sequencing of construction of transmission or grid main extensions across the City based on the developer's survey of development community. (Ordinance No. 25424,08/19/03) (1) (ii) (4) An arterial transmission main or grid main construction and reimbursement agreement has been approved by the City Council before the developer starts construction. Such reimbursement shall only be made when monies are fully available in and appropriated from the Grid and Arterial Transmission Mains Trust Fund. The order of reimbursement will be determined according to the date the arterial transmission main or grid main construction and reimbursement agreement is approved by the City Council. (Ordinance No. 25424, 08/19/03) Commissioner Braselton stated that there currently is a group looking at impact fees, different ways for raising revenues and how the funds are being dispersed. I would like this group to endorse a statement for a review to be done in line with the study that the City Manager is conducting on revenues. Planning Commission Minute/ `go ad February 21,2007 Page 13 Gary Smith stated that since this is a discussion item, this would not be the time to make a motion. The review of the fees is underway which can be a lengthy process. The City Manager is very committed to finding a solution and is proceeding in that direction. Commissioner Huerta stated a broader recommendation may need to be made so that the whole program involving the fee structure and who benefits from the fees needs to be studied. Commissioner Skrobarczyk questioned if an accounting of the trust fund covering the last twenty-five years could be requested. Commissioner Braselton stated that the City Manager have held meetings regarding this issue and many of these concerns have been raised. I am desirous of making this a public record to provide information to our councilmen and a recommendation be made that the City Manager and City Council proceed and study this issue. Gary Smith again stated that due to the fact that the item has only been listed as a discussion item, Mr. Smith advised against making a recommendation. Mr. Smith stated in view that the Interim Director of Development Services and the Assistant City Manager have heard the Planning Commission's dialogue this evening, I am confident this information will be conveyed to the City Manager. Commissioner Skrobarczyk stated it is important that the Staff realizes that the development community is looking for specific action on this trust fund. Debbie Marroquin stated the City is looking at a short term five year time line and also an extended long term time line. Gary Smith further clarified that the five year time line is focusing on a five year time period and will be implemented very soon. VIII. DIRECTOR'S REPORT A. EXCUSED ABSENCES B. OTHER MATTERS IX.
