Chair Messana opened the Public Hearing at 6:571 PM.  Mr. Lance Kivell, 105 Stones Throw Cove, stated he was speaking on behalf of him and his wife asking that the variance be denied. Mr. Kivell said that they live in the lot behind the property and there was lots of traffic issues already, making it hard to get out. Mr. Kivell shared other concerns regarding the right-in/right-out solution, stating that no one pays any attention to it based on others that tried this as a deterrent. Mr. Kivell expressed concerns with the 605-foot deceleration lane, and provided examples. Mr. Kivell also mentioned an article int the Community Impact that says fast food will also be in this location, which he said also does not seem to have been taken into consideration. Mr. Kevin Eddington stated that he had read the staff report and thinks they did an excellent job analyzing this, and he wants to add 1) the speed limit in the area is 65 miles per hour and many gravel haulers and contractors take that as ai recommended minimum speed, and 2) there is lots of congestion and lots ofaccidents int the area and this is going to compound the situation. Mr. Eddington highlighted an article int the Georgetown Community Impact that says fast food will also be in this location, which picks up the activity considerably. Mr. Eddington stated that he has similar concerns as Lance (Mr.  Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting minutes  February 6, 2024    Kivell) for the left-in/left-out, and provided examples. Mr. Eddington highlighted he has concerns regarding the 6660 West (Highway) 29 which is 28 acres property that has been approved for Class A motorhomes, listing the weights, and boat storage, with this added traffic coming out ofthis area and trying to merge. Mr. Eddington stated that this should be included in the study. Mr. Eddington further stressed that Creek Crossing and (Highway)29 has a lotoftraffic at the intersection, and after a Home Owners meeting last year, there was an accident on (Highway) 29 that damaged their sign. Mr. Eddington concluded that he thinks the variance should be denied and the TIA required to ensure safety of the community and those that use the gas station; stressing that saving money is not the  answer, saving money will cost lives.  Chair Messana closed the Public Hearing at 7:05 PM. iii) Recommendation regarding requested variance  Vice-Chair Cormack asked ifthe Applicant had offered to come here tonight. Interim Director Hicks said no. Vice-Chair Cormack said he didn't understand their arguments and inquired as to the legitimate arguments that they made. Interim Director Hicks stated there are two (2) primary reasons why in the application, namely, 1) because the TIA is lengthy and they don't think it would request any additional mitigation than what has been proposed, and 2) based on an Exxon on Highway 291 that did not require any traffic analysis. Interim Director Hicks added that the owner owns other gas Vice-Chair Cormack asked what the process is ifthere is a TIA, and ift the City will review that and look at the recommendations. Ms. Kelly Rees, Kimley-Horn, stated they had identified some intersections that they would need to look at, some not under the City, but the City can collect fees for the intersection and then would need to coordinate with TxDOT. Commissioner Bryan Rivera asked ift the 605 foot for the deceleration lane would be normal. Ms. Rees advised it would be typical. Commissioner Rivera asked about the paper referenced saying there would be more than a gas station Interim Director Hicks advised that it looks like the fast food would be inside the gas station. Mr. Chair Messana asked if the. Applicant's traffic count was just for the gas station. Ms. Rees stated that based on a gas station, with standard conventional store, from the ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) group. Chair Messana stated that the Applicant estimated the trip count tol be lower. Interim Director Hicks said the Applicant was estimating that based on what they see, but that isn't what it is Vice-Chair Cormack asked if any of the concerns that residents brought out can be included in the TIA review. Ms. Rees said it was a little tricky because there was an established scope with them (the Applicant) before they decided that they wanted to go for a variance; and that they can ask them to do analysis on right-in/right-out but would come down to some assumptions. Interim Director Hicks added that unless there are extenuating circumstances, it would need to stay the same. Mr. Ethan Harwell, Kimley-Homn, advised that part of the TIA would be collecting real time data and that they have TxDOT data from two (2) years ago on (Highway) 29, adding if the data outlines need, then could do that. Chair Messana said based on his experience driving it, there has been many changes in Secretary Williams stated she appreciated the information in the staff report on criteria for approval, noting there are five (5) instances per code where there are issues relating to granting a variance.  stations and thinks the average number was only 400-700.  Ethan Harwell said the article was dated January 31s of this year.  based on.  that time period.

(M. Hicks)  Interim Director Hicks presented the staff report and provided the background of the changes in the TIA worksheet and the analysis sofKimley-Hom, the City' Traffic Engineer, and the response provided. Interim Director Hicks further advised that there had been public concerns and in discussions with Council, it was brought to the Planning and Zoning Commission because the Commission can require aT TIA. Interim Director Hicks added that right now, the Commission doesn't see site plans directly Ms. Amanda Swor, Drenner Group as the Property Owners representative, noted shel had with herl Mr. Kevin Hunter, the Property Owner; Mr. Bobak' Tehrany, the Transportation Engineer; and Mr. Tony Prete, Civil Engineer. Ms. Swor indicated that Mr. Tehrany would speak after her and that the others are here in case there are any questions. Ms. Swor stated she wanted to talk about the timeline and provided the Commission the chronology and discussed the discrepancy in the land use split in the Building Permit versus the Site Development. Ms. Swor acknowledged that the team had made some errors, and when they were alerted by staff of the concerns on the TIA, they quickly corrected the issues. Ms. Swor stated that it was determined by the City Engineer and their Consultant, that a TIA would not be required, noting that all intersections would by TxDOT and TxDOT didn'trequire one. Ms. Swor advised that they have tried to talk to neighbors and are still willing to do that. Mr. Tehrany, the Transportation Engineer, advised that they had looked at the split and which type of classification was applicable, and it was determined it should be a variety store. Ms. Tehrany advised Mr. Michael Mayerich, a resident of Sundance Estates, addressed the Commission, and provided handouts with maps of Bronco Lane. Ms. Mayerich acknowledged the Goodwill explanation of the changes in the square footage, and added that he did not see where the four (4) EV (electric vehicle) charging stations were addressed. Mr. Mayerich stated that the driveway to primarily be used by delivery trucks to exit will impact the key pad to get into the neighborhood, as well as the mailboxes. Furthermore, Mr. Mayerich stated that they believe they still own part oft this property and went over Ms. Ann Miller, a resident of Sundance Estates, stated that she was grateful to those here from Goodwill and that she was not opposed to Goodwill in that location, adding that her concern was there is ai major safety issue for kids that walk to get the mail, etc. Ms. Miller stated that she believes that it can be solved and that its should not stand in the way of the development, adding that she was not sure that another TIA would not be appropriate. Ms. Miller stated she would like the issues solved before construction begins, noting that as Michael (Mr. Mayerich) pointed out, the gate pad is directly across  and that it why it went to Council first, and then back to the Commission.  that the City's Consultant agreed that it falls below the requirements for a TIA.  the maps provided.  Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting minutes  7  February 6, 2024    from the entrance, and even if only trucks did use that entrance, it could cause issues with the gate. Ms. Miller also mentioned that the mailboxes cannot be moved. Ms. Miller added that the traffic already gets backed up there, elaborating on the location and the road behind the other businesses. Ms. Miller stated shel had not seen any document regarding Goodwill coming to a consensus on who would ber responsible fori improving that road to be used, but believes with the added information from a' TIA, some help from all, and some cooperation, it could be a success. Ms. Miller, however, stated that right City Secretary Elaine Simpson read emails from the following individuals (Refer to Attachment #1  now there are concerns.  Agenda Item 6a Goodwill, Emails from Citizens Read)  1) CoCo Foster 2) (Frank and )Shannon Price 3) Frank Price 4) Todd Roberts-MCAvoy 5) Cassie Reveile 6) Jeff and Kathryn Martin 7) Randy and Jennifer Brown 8) Shana Johnson 9) Anthony Buck  Ms. Julie Messenger, of Sundance Estates, advised the Commission that Sundance Estates is actually very under-represented tonight, that there are concerns, and stated that there has to be a way to determine who owns the property. Ms. Messenger stressed she wanted a safe community and feels Ms. Bobbi Chock, 108 Stallion Lane, said she was not opposed to a Goodwill, and advised that her property's backyard is right behind the location. Ms. Chock stated that she liked what Amanda (Ms. Swor) said, that they want to talk, but no one has talked to her. Ms. Chock said that her son worked for Goodwill before, and that while dumping is not allowed, people still doi ita and she is concerned that a6 6-foot wall will not be enough to stop dumping over it. Ms. Chock reiterated that she is not opposed to Goodwill but that the entrance is an issue, and sometimes she struggles to make the light now due to congestion, and adding trucks in there will make it worse. Ms. Chock stated that she hopes there can be some meetings with Goodwill to help problem solve to see where those entrances could be placed Secretary Williams stated that she wanted to make sure everyone is aware that when it is coming back tot the Commission from Council today, iti is related to specifically the TIA, because ift there is apublic concern, the Commission can require one, and that is the scope; and that while there was reference to TxDOT per Ms. Swor, that the entrances are on (Highway) 29, one (1) of those entrances is coming Chair. Messana stated that the charge tonight isi ifaTIA is warranted, and while there are some concerns 1. The debate on ownership of the road and Chair Messana directed staff to get final clarity becausel hel has some concerns that at least a section of] Bronco Lane might be part of Sundance. 2. Regarding the revised 50/50 split, with halfofit being warehouse. While we cannot take any action on it tonight, Chair Messana requested that staff review the zoning because he doesn't  their voices should be heard as well.  to not impact the neighborhood so badly.  out onto a local and/or private road depending on how that issue is resolved. that we cannot go into detail on tonight, he wanted to raise the following issues:  see it fitting into C3 commercial and would like staff to flush that out.  Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting minutes  8  February 6, 2024    3. While the requirement for a TIA is a 1000 trips, upon reading the local neighborhood requirement for a TIA, which is 500 trips; and given he believes that Bronco is a residential street, based on that alone, hel believes that a traffic analysis needs to be done.  Commissioner Rivera added that the people here drive it, and he can see their concern; elaborating on Vice-Chair Cormack asked if the charging stations are considered in the trip generation. Ms. Rees, Kimley-Horn, said there is not a good way to estimate, as iti is not currently in the ITE guidelines and Commissioner Novo asked if Ms. Rees agreed with the change in the description to a variety store from free standing discount store. Ms. Rees said that both are. loosely defined for a Goodwill, but she iso okay with the change and explained why. Commissioner Novo askedi ifthe trip data for warehousing was captured correctly. Ms. Rees confirmed. Mr. Harwell, Kimley Horn, advised Commissioner Novo that the ITE definition of warehousing is incredibly generic, not like what was discussed on the Vice-Chair Cormack asked what potential mitigation measure that might come out ofa TIA. Ms. Rees stated that the TIA is not the best spot to talk about the driveway placement. Ms. Rees provided examples of what is currently there, like the signal and the driveway out to (Highway) 29, adding that on Bronco, could add lanes but not sure if the City would want that, and elaborated. Vice-Chair Cormack said that it could recommend a deceleration lane on the applicant's property and turn it over Chair Messana inquired as to the light timing, and Ms. Rees said that would require TxDOT coordination. Ms. Rees added that TxDOT is looking at retiming (Highway) 29 lights in general, but Chair Messana noted that Ms. Rees had said that the driveway does not fall under the TIA, but asked ifthe driveway moves somewhere else, where it does not come out on Bronco, does that get captured. Ms. Rees stated that would most likely be a different conversation, and it could identify the problems but not dictate solutions. Chair Messana said there were comments on safety, the key pad, mailboxes, and the divider, and asked if that would be flushed out in a TIA. Ms. Rees said there can be some safety aspects that could addressed by the study based on actual accidents, but not near misses; and it would bei more ofa qualitative discussion versus a studied analysis. Commissioner Novo said that she did agree with the Chair that there was also the larger conversation on the zoning relative to the 50/50 Motion: Chair Messana moved, and Secretary Williams seconded, to require a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for Goodwill, consisting of approximately 3 acres of land addressed as 110 Bronco Blvd., more particularly described by Williamson Central Appraisal District Parcel R479146, and legally described as Lot 1, Sundance Square Section 2 Final Plat, Liberty Hill, Williamson County, Texas.

I would highly encourage at traffic study regarding the placement of the Goodwill entrance/exit, etc. due to the proposed plan impeding oure entry and exit out of our own homes, as well as the problems getting to our mailboxes, gate keypad, etc. Thisi is NOT ani ideal location for al large corporation/Duilding: andI lam completely opposed to the idea of a Goodwill even being located here, much less having theire entry/exit right outside of our neighborhood gates. Along with the location beingj just ridiculous andi impeding our entrance/exit, mailboxes, gate keypad, etc. the location of this Goodwill would significantly devalue our homes.

Iwould like to voice my concerns about the development. The plans show an entrance being created on bronco blvd. Right across from our key pad entry. This holds al huge concern for us as residents. The gate can all-ready become crowded with residents trying to get into the gate. The exit would also cause concern, people leaving the neighborhood and goodwill could have blocked visions with our landscaping. This could really become a danger. The map over layl looks asi if the semi truck will also use this to exit goodwill. The median will make it difficult for al large truck to make this turn. The median would have to be torn out. This brings up the concern that we as a neighborhood, own that section of road. Itis private drive. Wel have maintained that section since development. Iwould like to see where the easements arei for bronco. The residents mail boxes also have to bet taken into consideration. At times there are many cars stopped to check mail. This will also become very dangerous as My next concern is the fencing design. Idon'tf feel 6fti is adequate enough. Iwould think 81 ft would be the minimum required between a residential neighborhood and al business. Thank  residents are getting in and out of their vehicles. youi fory yourt time and consideration of our concerns.  Planning & Zoning Commission!

We have almost been hit by people pulling out oft the Sonic driveways. They assume that we are going to! Sonic and just pull right out without any thought to the businesses on the other side of the street or the neighborhood behind the businesses. We have to sit through green lights, while we watch to see if cars are actually going to stop or barrel right through the red light. Now, there is talk of putting a driveway for al business between our gate & our mailboxes. Mailboxes that kids ride their bikes to, elderly walk to, young drivers stop at, and all of us, that go after dark. The thought of putting al high traffic areai in al high! pedestrian area, is really not a good idea. Can we please go back and look for alternatives that keeps our neighborhood citizens safe, while doing a daily task?

Jennifer BROWN Tue 2/6/2024237PM To: Elaine Simpson cesimpionelberynllagor To whom it may concern,  l'am writing to express to need to reevaluate the placement of the Goodwill driveway on Bronco Blvd along with at traffic study. As it stands now, the driveway will come out at or right by the Sundance Estates gate pad. Please take this into consideration when approving  the driveway plans.

With the potential Goodwill being discussed near this entrance, we'dI like to make sure that everything is done to ensure the safety and functionality of our neighborhood entrance. This is already a congested area and many times during high traffic times, we are already not able to go on a green light to get onto highway 29 from Bronco Blvd due to traffic being backed up all directions. This creates congestion back to our gates with no solution. The idea of al large business with high traffic would create even morei traffic and safety issues. This does not seem to be a good location for an entrance and exit to this large business. Thank yout for taking the time to read this and  considering our concerns.

Ihave ai few questions/comments concerning the proposed entrance of the Goodwill Store outside our gate. lapologize for not being there in person but Iwant to speak up on this matter 1.AI lot of us are gravely concerned about the proposed entrance as it would bring truck traffic between our mail boxes and the gate. This area is frequently used by pedestrians and children on their way to! Sonic or to get the mail. Wei feel that an entrance on the South side of the 2.For 21 years we've been under the impression that Bronco Blvd was a private road. So much sO that we've maintained it with landscaping and volunteer pothole repair. When did this change?lhave also seen two maps that show the area on Bronco by our keypad to be our property. How can an entity build at truck entrance thru something they don'town? 3.Is spoke with the Goodwill facilities representative and he stressed that they intend to bea good neighbor. Istress to them to be a good neighbor they need to move that unsafe truck  property would be much safer!!  entrance Sincerely Anthony Buck  Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting minutes  2  February 6, 2024
