Eggleton Acres 37.5, and ABS A0094 Survey 6, Thomas J Callehan Acres 8.476), Blanco, Texas 78606, (Property Owner: Pharr Paradise Park, LLC). Warren Escovy, City Administrator shared it is the city's responsibility to review the concept plan, any platting required and approve all drainage and/or floodplain requirements for this project which is in the city's ETJ. The concept plan (which will be considered a preliminary plat, except for the areas that are "future") has mostly 5 acre lots that will be served by well and septic. A variance has been requested to allow a portion of access roadway to be in the 100 year flood plain. According to the current Code of Ordinances, a waiver will be required to allow access to RR 165 since this is in the regulatory FEMA floodplain. Planning & Zoning Commission voted 3-3 and therefore no formal recommendation can be made, however, the project can be approved with the following conditions: 1) Along with the normal required documents for final plat the following will be required: A floodplain study providing there are no-impacts (no rise to the 100-year water surface elevation (WSE) to the floodplain with the proposed improvements. (will be required with the first final plat of any section), 2) Consider the secondary access at Sunset Ridge an emergency access and put up a gate (crash gate) at Lot 21 making that road an emergency "access only" for a majority of the property but still allowing the future residential (69 acres on the west end) to have Sunset Ridge access as it always has. Public Comments: Greg Palmer, attorney for the developer. Looked at the option to provide an elevated bridge. Purchased 70 acre tract for use as secondary emergency access. Not the intent of developer to place additional burden on Sunset Ridge residents. Will work with Blanco Police Department to place gate for emergency access only. Asking for conceptual plan only at this time. The final plat will be presented at a future date. Property will have restrictions on all property owners to respect the rights of Sunset Ridge current property owners and do what is best for the residents of Blanco. This project will draw business revenue to Blanco, will provide job opportunities and an event center for city or school events in the future and includes low densityllarge lots. Mike Ethridge, property owner, spoke in favor of the project. In the past he let everyone have road access through his property which has been in his family for many years. Jay Palmer, property owner/developer, spoke and explained his self-imposed restrictions. He does not want new owners to have access to Sunset Ridge, nor does he wish to burden Sunset Ridge. Will use FM 165 access, unless there is an emergency. He apologized for the anxiety caused to the neighbors. 2IPage City Council Minutes October 10, 2023 Waymond Lightfoot, property owner, 1334 Sunset Ridge, spoke and said he has visited with Mr. Palmer and now has a better understanding of the development. He would still like to see the assurances in writing, what is the legal option, privately owned and maintained. One lane, 13' road. There are a number of factors that need to be explored. Seeking to understand, crash gate. Colin Corbett, property owner, spoke of concerns with use of narrow, private road. It was not built to support traffic beyond what the current residents use. He assisted with paving, chip, and seal, of road. He met with Mr. Palmer and is open to discussing further, would like to see written documentation. Cornelia England, property owner, spoke against the variance. She expressed concern over who will monitor the crash gate. The road is very narrow and is privately owned and maintained. She also expressed concern about not receiving a notification for the public hearing. Donald Murphey, pediatrician in Austin and property owner off Sunset Ridge spoke out in opposition to the development. The road was built 20 years ago. He has never seen a crash gate and is uncomfortable with the idea. Julie Alexander, serves on the Planning & Zoning Commission. She spoke in favor of the development and explained the use of Sunset Ridge would be for emergency access/eminent danger only and not for construction of development. The proposed development includes a visually beautiful vineyard, increase in tax dollars, sale of goods and services, five acre or larger lots in a peaceful community in the Blanco ETJ. This would be a blessing to our community. Arlyn Cook, property owner along Sunset Ridge spoke out in opposition to the variance. He said in 1991 seven families each dedicated part of their property to create the small road. Development means change with a whole new set of problems, and he quoted The Big Yellow Taxi saying, "you don't know what you have until it is gone, they paved over paradise and put up a parking lot."

Box 750 Blanco, Texas 78606 Office 830-833-4525 Fax 830-833-4121 STAFF REPORT: 11/14/23 DESCRIPTION: Request for an SUP to allow a mobile food vendor at the same location for longer than 10 days as per 4.15 Mobile Food Vendors (1) (g) li. ANALYSIS: Request from Breanna Crenshaw/The Coffia Shop LLC to operate a mobile food vending unit that primarily serves coffee at the back parking lot of the Trinity Lutheran Church which is on the southeast corner of Elm and gth Street. The parking lot oft the church site is zoned R-5 and the church itself is zoned Government Utility Institutional (GUI). There are single family homes zoned R-3 across the street on Elm and gth. R-5 zoning does allow for mobile food trucks to be allowed by right if it is less than 10 days. These types of food trucks or mobile barista type locations are allowed in commercial areas (which R-5 is considered transitional) Staff has allowed the mobile unit to operate for the past month or sO before the project could be heard by both P&Z and City Council. Port-a-potties aren't allowed and P&Z/Council can look at limiting the hours of operation due to it's proximity to single family homes. Some of the neighborhood reluctance on the food truck is the placement of a port-a-potty (though it is dressed up with a lattice and flowers) on site. P&Z heard from neighbors and the applicant who were mostly in support of the business to be located at the corner of gth and Elm on the back parking lot of Trinity Lutheran. There was a lot of discussion on whether that was the best location at the church site. Church leaders explained that their organization discussed this at length and wanted to give the Coffia Shop and chance to work. The consensus of P&Z was to allow both a drive-up option (which would be a variance from the UDC) and a walk-up option. Additionally, while port-a-potties are not allowed when just one food truck is established they agreed that either the temporary restroom is NOT to be allowed or it could be allowed behind food truck with an acceptable enclosure over it. FISCAL IMPACT: Allows a small business owner a location to do business ' RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of the SUP with the following conditions: (5-1 and 1 absent) 1. Approve the Special Use Permit with a variance to allow the drive through option 2. Port-a-poty restroom is NOT allowed or it could be allowed behind food truck with an acceptable enclosure over it.

I have lived at my current residence for the past 10 years. In the early month of October, The Coffia Shop opened at the corner of gth and Elm. I have many concerns thatl would like to make aware to the city regarding this location. Since - have lived here there has always been traffic in the early morning for school drop offs and pick-ups. The roads are already bad with potholes and fast drivers. People also are in a hurry to get their kids dropped off at school. Since the Coffia Shop has opened there; it has caused more congestion with the traffic. It worries me for the safety of the children that walk to school. With people in a hurry and cars stopping at the corner an accident can happen. My second concern- A portable bathroom is placed at the location currently. have seen multiple people using the restroom even when the Coffia Shop is closed. People leave the door open while using the restroom and I have children at my residence. I do not feel the portable restroom is appropriate for the children that have to pass by walking home from school or for the children that have to wake up every morning and see that portable bathroom outside their window. It is also a safety concern if someone gets locked in the restroom afterhours due to it always being unlocked. As well as a sanitary concern for customers to not have a place to wash their hands. It also becomes a concern with the portable restroom getting knocked over being sO close to the road. My third concern- This is a residential area. All commercial location are located on 281 and 1623. If we allow this food trailer to be parked in the residential area, are we going to allow everybody to continue to place food trailers at corners of lots all through the City of Blanco? Why is this food trailer unable to locate at the corner of Elm and 1623 where the other food trailers are placed? Thank you for taking the time to hear me out and I hope you take my concern in consideration.

I have noticed the lack of healthy food choices here and was very impressed when I found the Coffia food truck. As we all know there is basically only 1 grocery store in Blanco, which support by the way, but there's not a lot of choice and if there is it's way overpriced. There is only 2 adults in our home, one which eats only meat and potatos, and me being a pescatarian with digestive issues who eats mainly fresh foods with no preservatives which I'm highly allergic to. I am thrilled that this young lady has researched food and came up with foods that not only I can eat but educating our children and in my case grandchildren.

Blanco doesn't have this kind of option for the public and the majority of them are crying out for something great as this. The Coffia is offering healthy options to our community in the forms of coffee, smoothies, soups and salads and more to come - The business is also supporting other local businesses which is so amazing and selfless - The convenience of the drive thru is just al bonus .

Box 750 Blanco, Texas 78606 2 n Office 830-833-4525 Fax 830-833-4121 STAFF REPORT: 11-14-23 DESCRIPTION: Consideration, Discussion and Take Possible Action to Dissolve the Highway 281 Task Force Created under Resolution 2022-R-005 and in lieu thereof create a General Transportation Planning and Advisory Committee and a related Subcommittee thereto focused on Pedestrian and Alternative Transportation Modes ANALYSIS: As TXDOT has moved towards providing alternative transportation routes around Blanco and seems to be taking the City out of "route designation" Highway 281 task force lead by former Mayor Rachel Lumpee may need to be reimagined. A transportation committee that will look at 281, local streets, and other forms of transportation (sidewalks, pathways) needs to be formed. As part of this transtormation Administration and Council Member Swinson have discussed moving Blanco Wheels and feet to a subcommittee of a city board. The Blanco Wheels and Feet subcommittee of the Transportation committee would focus on walkability, education, and safety. City Administrator has discussed the liability of the education programs with TML Risk Pool and there appears to be no substantial cost to be covered by TML. The overall Transportation Committee will answer to Council and provide guidance with education, grant opportunities, and other items that will help the City grow in a responsible manner. FISCAL IMPACT: Provide guidance and solutions that will be beneficial to the City RECOMMENDATION: Dissolve the Highway 281 Task force and create a General Transportation and Advisory Committee with a related Pedestrian and Alternative transportation modes subcommittee. Blanco Wheels and Feet, Inc. improves walkability and alternative transportation for the community of Blanco by providing and enhancing infrastructure, encouraging public involvement, and educating people about the benefits and characteristics of walkable places. Blanco Wheels and Feet was founded as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2020. It was named in honor of a previous city group from the mid 2000's that also focused on walkability in Blanco. We believe our group would be better served as a city committee at this time. Our community has demonstrated the desire for improved walkability, and we could better achieve that goal with support from council and staff. Many walkability projects (like walking paths) are built on city owned rights-of-way, sO a strong partnership with the city is essential for the future of walkability in Blanco. Here are a few selected comments we received from the community during our last walkability survey: 1 would absolutely love more sidewalks, bike lanes, and shared use paths in Blanco. Personally, - would use one every day going from about Chandler and Blanco Ave over the bridge to the main square (4th & Pecan). Blanco sidewalks and sidewalk access points are a real challenge for people with disabilities ranging from somewhat accessible to downright dangerous. think this is a great plan. Many kids walk to and from school in the street. I take daily morning walks with my toddler grandson. Sidewalks would certainly make these walks more enjoyable and safe. It is very dangerous to walk or bike around town. We have very few sidewalks and our streets do not have enough shoulder to walk in and feel safe. This is the kind of advancement that our precious Blanco actually needs. 1 fully support this grant application. Making our streets more safe is important to me and would be a huge benefit to our community. Please help bring this to our small town. Blanco desperately needs to be more walkable! More walking and bike paths would make Blanco a more livable and enjoyable city. It would make it easier for more people to walk and bike and, therefore, get more exercise to improve their health. Finally, it would be yet another attraction for visitors. We are 100% in favor of this initiative! It would be great to have and prioritize sidewalks that provide easy and safe access to the square from both fourth and third street and to the state park from 281 and river road. We love the town center. I'm happy that the city is investigating additional funding opportunities and is seeking community input. Past / Current Projects Blanco Bike Project - We take donations of old bikes, repair them, and give them away free to anyone who wants one, along with a helmet, bike lights and lock Group Walks or Bike Rides - Travel around Blanco, discuss what makes places walkable or not and identify safe pedestrian routes between destinations Pedestrian awards - We give out a sticker and a $5 bill to people we see walking around town to make walking fun and rewarding Market Days - Give away free 'walking lights' for nighttime visibility, take cash donations, learn about pedestrian challenges from the community, distribute educational and partner materials Bike Rack Project - We give and help install bicycle parking racks to local businesses Apply for walkability grants for the nonprofit or on behalf of the city Future Project Ideas: Walk with a Doc Program - Group walks for health. Partnering with a local doctor and citizen to bring this program to Blanco. Design low-cost walking paths throughout tow and find and apply for grants to fund them Partner with CARTS, our local bus service Kids' Bike Rodeo with Police Department - Bike race/event for kids. Give out youth bikes and accessories in partnership with the police department (they have donated some youth bikes) What we will donate: $1,054.53 in cash (minus any wind-down expenses) Bikes and accessories Market Days supplies All project documents 10/30/23, 8:33 AM City of Blanco Mail - public comment to be read into the record a the next council meeting GmF A BLANCOTuS Laurie Cassidy elypec@lyebamctgpe public comment to be read into the record a the next council meeting 1 message Heinz Roesch <heinz75@gmail.com> Thu, Oct 26, 2023 at 4:58 PM To: Laurie Cassidy dbpec@lyelbancolgoe I am Heinz Roesch, living on 1049 Cielo Springs Drive here in Blanco. I understand that the non-profit organization Wheels and Feet is to be disbanded and instead to be organized as a committee of the City of Blanco. As a financial supporter of Wheels and Feet from the beginning I support this decision and encourage the Council to embrace the idea of organizing a committee with the same goals and purposes i.e. increase walkability within the City of Blanco as well as encourage and enable the citizens to either walk or bicycle to places. We need to promote adding sidewalks, bicycle paths and crosswalks throughout the city. I thank the council members for their service to the city. A difficult task even in the best of times.

Box 750 Blanco, Texas 78606 Office 830-833-4525 Fax 830-833-4121 STAFF REPORT: 10/10/23 DESCRIPTION: Concept Plan of a 627 acre project in Blanco's ETJ which will include up to 84 single family homes and 128 acres of commercial property. A variance to allow a portion ofthe entry way to Blanco River Ranch to be in the 100 year flood plain. ANALYSIS: The Concept Plan for Blanco River ranch consists of 627 acres in which 63 lots are shown with ROW frontage and 21 lots are indicated as future residential. There are vineyards, tasting room, event center, rentals and other commercial areas that make up 128 acres of non-residential development. The property is located north ofand adjacent to RR 165 and the Blanco River and east ofSunset Ridge and the Blanco City Limits line. The main access to Blanco River Ranch will come from a main roadway that accesses from RR 165 over the Blanco River with secondary access from Sunset Ridge. The main roadway access be served from an improved water crossing. The Concept plan has mostly 5 acre lots that will be served by well and septic. The plan also shows 63 lots with the other 21 being future lots. The concept plan will be considered a preliminary plat except for the areas that are "future." The basic roadway and concept plan meets all requirements of a plat except for the requirement to provide a main access that is "unflooded." This requirement has been addressed with the variance request. The secondary access is unflooded though not improved. A variance has been requested to allow aj portion ofaccess roadway to be in the 100 year flood plain. The City of Blanco Unified Development Code (November 2020) Section 6.2 General Standards and Requirements has adopted the City of Austin Drainage Criteria Manual COA DCM as part of its drainage design criteria. Accordingly, a waiver will be required to allow access to RR 165 since this is in the regulatory FEMA floodplain. The owner applicant has addressed this issue with requesting a variance. The City's responsibility is to review the concept plan, any platting required and approve all drainage or floodplain review ofthe project. Because the project is entirely in the ETI, any permitting or site development review will be performed by Blanco County. TEX - This development will provide residences and economic development for Blanco County but will not directly affect the City of Blanco. The event center and winery may provide an option for Blanco area residents and there may be some indirect traffic from the project. The Concept plan meets all City requirements if the variance is approved. FISCAL IMPACT: No direct impact to the City. RECOMMENDATION: P&Z voted 3-3 and therefore no formal recommendation can be made. However, project can be approved with the following conditions: 1. Along with the normal required documents for final plat the following will be required: A floodplain study proving there are no-impacts (no rise to the 100-year water surface elevation (WSE) to the floodplain with the proposed improvements. (will be required with the first Final plat ofa any section). 2. Consider the secondary access at Sunset Ridge an emergency access and put up a gate (crash gate) at Lot 21 making that road an emergency access only" for a majority ofthe property but still allowing the future residential (69 acres on the west end) to have Sunset Ridge access as it always has. - City of Blanco Application for Plat 3001 Pecan Street P.O.
