Councilmember David K. Leigh asked that Item #6 be removed for discussion. Upon a motion by Councilmember Leigh, and a second by Mayor Pro Tern Craig Pearson, Consent Agenda Items 4, 5, and 7-9 were approved upon a vote of 7-0. City Manager Sam Listi presented Item 6 stating current City Attorney John Messer has been serving the City as City Attorney and City Prosecutor since 1978. Mr. Messer has expressed a desire to retain City Attorney duties while relinquishing City Prosecutor duties. Staff has worked with Chris Cornish of the Cornish Law Firm, and recommends Mr. Cornish for the position of Assistant City Attorney/City Prosecutor. The contract for these duties for FY2018 is $10,000. Councilmember Leigh expressed his thanks to Mr. Messer for his service over the last 40+ years. Mr. Listi added his thanks to Mr. Messer as well. Upon a motion by Councilmember Dan Kirkley, and a second by Councilmember Guy O'Banion, Consent Agenda Item 6 was approved upon a vote of 7-0. Planning and Zoning 10. Consider the following: A. Hold a public hearing and consider a zoning change from Single Family-2 to Single Family-3 Zoning District for the construction of a single family home at 407 and 410 West 3rd Avenue, located on the northeast corner of West 3rd Avenue and North Smith Street. B. Hold a public hearing and consider a replat for Sylvia's Addition, a 0.311 acre tract of land, located on the northeast corner of North Smith Street and West 3rd Avenue. Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 3 Director of Planning Erin Smith stated that this property is located on the north side of West 3rd Avenue. The property is currently zoned Single Family-2, and the applicant is proposing a zoning change to Single Family-3 to construct a new single family home on a slightly smaller lot than required in the SF-2 Zoning District. She explained that the applicant is platting this property into two lots in conjunction with the zoning change request. There is an existing single family home at 407 West 3rd Avenue, and the applicant would like to construct a new single family home at 41 OWest 3rd Avenue. A zoning change to SF-3 is needed to re-plat this property into two lots. Mrs. Smith said that the applicant has submitted a survey that identifies the main building and accessory building locations. The main structure extends slightly into the front yard setback, and the accessory building is located within the 15-foot street side yard setback; however, these structures do not appear to cause any visibility issues for the neighborhood. She said that the developer is required to contribute half the total cost of paving (up to 18.5 feet) and install curb and gutter, for the portion of West 3rd Avenue adjacent to this subdivision; however, the applicant has requested a variance for these perimeter street improvement requirements. It is staff's judgment that one additional single family home will not generate an increase in traffic on West 3rd Avenue; therefore, staff recommends waiving the perimeter street requirement for this two-lot residential subdivision. Smith explained that the developer is required to dedicate 0.01 acres of parkland or pay a fee in lieu of parkland dedication of $200. Since this property currently has two separate addresses, this change is an improvement to the area by creating legal lots. Due to these factors, staff recommends a variance to parkland dedication or fee-in-lieu requirements. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this zoning change and replat with variances at its meeting on August 15, 2017, and Staff concurs. Mayor Grayson opened the public hearing on Item 1OB. Seeing none wishing to speak for or against the item, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilmember Leigh said that he is in favor of waiving the park fee, but because the City has made several improvements in the area, he is not in favor of waiving the perimeter street improvement fee. He recommended tying the fee to the construction permit on the property. Mayor Pro Tern Pearson asked if there were curbs on 3rd Street. Mrs. Smith stated that there were not. Councilmember O'Banion said that if there are no curbs, then the applicant should not have to pay a perimeter street improvement fee, but if there are curbs, then the applicant should pay. Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 4 Councilmember Kirkley said it is very important that Council looks at making housing affordable. He added that Belton is very short on affordable housing, so the Council should help by allowing variances where appropriate. Councilmember Leigh said that there is a concrete ribbon curb on Smith Street. He feels the current ordinance should be enforced while Council considers possible improvements to the ordinance. Councilmember Holmes asked if ribbon curb was cost prohibitive. Mrs. Smith said no, and acknowledged that base preparation is the majority of the cost. Councilmember Paul Sanderford said that there might need to be a different requirement for infill developments like this one. He recommended considering these on a case-by-case basis until the ordinance is amended. Councilmember Leigh said that policy will require the applicant construct an improved driveway when he builds on the property, but the driveway will not connect to anything if the perimeter street improvements are not required. Upon a motion by Councilmember Leigh, and a second by Councilmember John Holmes, Item 1OA was unanimously approved upon a vote of 7-0. Upon a motion by Councilmember Kirkley for approval of the replat with variances, and a second by Councilmember O'Banion, Item 108 was approved upon a vote of 5-2 with Councilmembers Leigh and Holmes providing the dissenting votes. 11 . Consider the following: A. Consider an ordinance authorizing abandonment of public rights-of-way north of West Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, east of University Drive, south of Crusader Way, and west of College Street. B. Hold a public hearing and consider a replat for UMHB Main Campus 2017 Addition, a 75.927 acre tract of land, located north of West Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, east of University Drive, south of Crusader Way, and west of College Street. Councilmembers Sanderford and Kirkley abstained from discussion and voting on this item. Director of Planning Erin Smith said that Item 11A is a proposal to abandon all public rights-of-way north of West Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, east of University Drive, south of Crusader Way, and west of College Street. She explained that Turley and Associates has identified several rights-of-way within this plat boundary that do not contain paved streets; however, the rights-of-way were never abandoned . In some instances, buildings have been constructed Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 5 over existing rights-of-way. Additionally, there are some streets within this plat boundary that were not constructed in the rights-of-way and are located on UMHB private property. Turley and Associates has created a fire lane exhibit that identifies areas where 26' wide fire lanes are required to remain. There are existing public water and sewer lines traversing this property to serve UMHB and surrounding properties. Those water and sewer lines will remain public. An easement document will be recorded with the plat to ensure the City of Belton has access to the public water and sewer lines on this property for maintenance and repairs. There are also existing Atmos and Oncor lines traversing this property that will remain in existing easements. Turley and Associates has provided an exhibit that identifies the locations of the Atmos gas and Oncor electric lines on this property. Mrs. Smith said that Item 11 B is a 1-lot subdivision plat proposed as UMHB Main Campus 2017 Addition. UMHB has submitted this plat request for the main campus to allow for both development and re-development of areas within this boundary without the need to create a re-plat for each individual project. This property is currently zoned University Campus-1 Zoning District, and the plat complies in all respects. The Fire Marshal has reviewed the fire access exhibit and finds it acceptable to serve the main UMHB campus area within this plat boundary. The fire lane exhibit will be recorded with the plat. Turley and Associates has included a note on the plat that states the following: 26' wide fire access lanes are to be maintained as shown on the attached exhibit. The City of Belton and University of Mary Hardin-Baylor may agree to review the fire lane exhibit in the future as may be needed to accommodate the location of future improvements to the campus. Mrs. Smith stated that UMHB will be responsible for all maintenance and re- construction of the interior private streets and fire lanes, pending Council approval of the plat and street abandonments. West Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, University Drive, Crusader Way, and College Street will remain public streets, and the City of Belton will continue to maintain these roadways. Upon a motion by Councilmember Leigh, and a second by Mayor Pro Tern Pearson, Item 11A was approved upon a vote of 5-0-2 with Councilmembers Sanderford and Kirkley abstaining. Mayor Grayson opened the public hearing on Item 11 B. Seeing none wishing to speak for or against the item, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilmember Holmes asked what happens if UMHB is unable to fund maintenance on the streets. City Manager Sam Listi responded that street maintenance would still be their responsibility. Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 6 Upon a motion by Mayor Pro Tern Pearson, and a second by Councilmember O'Banion, Item 11 B was approved upon a vote of 5-0-2 with Councilmembers Sanderford and Kirkley abstaining. 12. Hold a public hearing and consider a replat for Kelley Trust Addition, a 1.617 acre tract of land, located north of Kenny Drive, south of Sandlin Drive, and east and west of Camelot Lane, in Belton's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Director of Planning Erin Smith explained that this 7-lot subdivision plat is located in Belton's ETJ, and is proposed as Kelley Trust Addition. The applicant is proposing to replat this property from 14 lots into a 7-lot subdivision. The applicant met with the Bell County Health Department (BCHD) to discuss the required on-site septic system for the lots prior to submitting the replat for City and County staff review. BCHD staff requested the applicant combine the lots to allow for on-site septic systems. The existing lots are 5,000 square feet in area, and this proposed replat will increase the lot sizes to 10,000 square feet in area. The minimum lot size requirement is 0.50 acres for on-site septic systems. Bell County stated this replat will allow for on-site septic systems based on combining small lots legally platted prior to 1988. BCHD has reviewed the on-site septic system for each lot proposed in this replat and specified that a 3-bedroom home may be built with a maximum square footage of 2,500 square feet. The builder is required to contact BCHD to approve home placement prior to construction and that will determine if an on-site septic system can be installed. Mrs. Smith explained that the Subdivision Ordinance requires subdivisions in the City and the City's ETJ to have a water distribution system with appropriate appurtenances for fire protection. This property is served by Dog Ridge Water Supply Corporation, but the waterline sizes and pressure in this area do not support a fire distribution system. She said that since this replat is located within a mature neighborhood, a variance appears to be reasonable given a fire distribution system is not available. Since this proposed subdivision is located in Belton's ETJ, the Bell County Engineer's Office has reviewed this plat and made comments. After Council action, this plat will be taken to Bell County Commissioners Court for approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this replat with variances at their meeting on August 15, 2017, and Staff concurs. Mayor Grayson opened the public hearing. Seeing none wishing to speak for or against the item, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Councilmember Holmes asked about the break in the property and wondered if there is a requirement for the property to be contiguous. Mrs. Smith said there are two lots that are not included in the plat boundary because they are not owned by the applicant. She said that there is no requirement that the lots be contiguous. Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 7 Mayor Pro Tern Pearson questioned the adequacy of the lot size for a septic system since the proposed size is still significantly less than a half-acre. Mrs. Smith explained that BCHD is working with the applicant to ensure that the septic system is properly located on each lot which is allowed by State law for properties like this that were platted prior to 1988. Councilmember Leigh asked about fire protection since there are no fire hydrants in the area. Fire Chief Bruce Pritchard explained that this area is served by the Stillhouse Fire Department, but Belton Fire has a mutual aid agreement with Stillhouse FD. Belton Fire Department would respond if requested. Upon a motion by Councilmember Sanderford, and a second by Councilmember O'Banion, Item 12 was unanimously approved upon a vote of 7-0. 13. Hold a public hearing and consider a replat for Dora Addition, a 0.468 acre tract of land, located on the northeast corner of Lesmar Loop and Sherwood Drive, in Belton's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Director of Planning Erin Smith explained that this 1-lot subdivision plat, located in Belton's ETJ, is proposed as Dora Addition. The applicant is proposing to replat this property from four lots into a single lot in order to upgrade the septic system. Bell County Health Department reviewed the current septic system and stated it is not in compliance with current requirements and an upgrade is required. This proposed replat will increase the lot size to 0.468 acres, slightly less than the required 0.50 acre lot size for on-site septic systems. Bell County stated this replat will allow for an upgraded septic system. Mrs. Smith explained that the Subdivision Ordinance requires subdivisions in the City and the City's ETJ to have a water distribution system with appropriate appurtenances for fire protection. This property is served by Dog Ridge Water Supply Corporation, but the waterline sizes and pressure in this area do not support a fire distribution system. She said that since this replat is for an existing single family home within a mature neighborhood, a variance appears to be reasonable given a fire distribution system is not available. Since this proposed subdivision is located in Belton's ETJ, the Bell County Engineer's Office has reviewed this plat and made comments. After Council action, this plat will be taken to Bell County Commissioners Court for approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of this replat with variances at their meeting on August 15, 2017, and Staff concurs. Mayor Grayson opened the public hearing. Seeing none wishing to speak for or against the item, the Mayor closed the public hearing. Upon a motion by Councilmember Leigh, and a second by Mayor Pro Tern Pearson, Item #13 was unanimously approved upon a vote of 7-0. Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 8 14. Consider preliminary plats for Three Creeks Subdivision, Phases IV, V, VI, and VII, a 146.09 acre tract of land, located generally east of FM 1670 and south of U.S. 190, and adjacent to the north bank of the Lampasas River, in Belton's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Director of Planning Erin Smith explained that this is a series of residential subdivision plats proposed as Three Creeks Subdivision, Phases IV, V, VI, and VII. The lots are a minimum of 50' in width, in compliance with the Development Agreement. Currently, this subdivision contains one entrance known as Three Creeks Boulevard with 120' of right-of-way (ROW) off FM 1670 with 1,033 lots total in Phases I-VII. The Development Agreement states that the developer will dedicate 50' of right-of-way and grade, and prepare with crushed limestone base 27' wide and provide a 25-foot double penetration/seal coat travel surface of Rocking M Lane from Auction Barn Road to the Municipal Utility District's northern property line within two years from the completion and acceptance of the first roundabout on the arterial roadway known as Three Creeks Boulevard. Therefore, this requirement will be due May 1, 2019. According to the Subdivision Ordinance, any single family residential subdivision within the City of Belton or the City's ETJ shall provide 3 entrances/access streets for subdivisions with more than 101 lots. The development agreement approved by Council in 2010 includes a master plan of the proposed subdivision that identifies two points of access, and this should be adequate for this subdivision until a connection is made from Three Creeks Boulevard to Shanklin Road in the future, as shown on the City's Thoroughfare Plan. Smith stated that Phase IV is a 151-lot subdivision plat that proposes construction of Galveston Road, Baffin Lane, and Lavaca Drive, and a portion of Capano Road, Guadalupe Drive, and Rocking M Lane, each with 50' of right-of-way. Phase IV also includes a portion of Three Creeks Boulevard with 120' of right-of-way. Phase V is a 98-lot subdivision plat that proposes construction of Corpus Christi Court, Aransas Drive, and a portion of Dickinson Loop, each with 50' of right-of- way. Phase VI is a 131-lot subdivision plat that proposes construction of St. Charles Court, Matagorda Road, and a portion Capano Loop, each with 50' of right-of-way. Phase VI also includes private parkland shown as Tract B. Smith said that Phase VII is a 79-lot subdivision plat that proposes construction of Redfish Court and Nueces Way, and a portion of Aransas Drive, Dickinson Loop, and St. Charles Court, each with 50' of right-of-way. The eastern portion of Three Creeks Boulevard is also proposed within Phase VII; however, right-of-way is not shown to the eastern property boundary. There is also a portion of the Whitis property not included in the plat boundary. Three Creeks Boulevard right-of-way and street pavement is required to extend to the eastern property boundary, in accordance with Section 7.06 of the Development Agreement. This property will need to be included in the final plat for Phase VII. Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 9 Mrs. Smith explained that the Subdivision Ordinance requires developers to dedicate sufficient and suitable parkland and/or a payment of fees-in-lieu of the required parkland. There are a total of 1,033 lots in Phases I-VII and ultimately 1,500 lots for the entire Three Creeks subdivision; therefore, a total of 10.33 acres of parkland is required at this time and ultimately 15 acres for the entire 1,500 lots in this subdivision. The developer has provided a total of 127.34 acres of private parkland that contains several trail networks and pavilions for the residents. This private parkland exceeds the Subdivision Ordinance requirements and is consistent with the master plan in the development agreement. The lots in this subdivision are served by City of Belton water and sewer, and Bell County is responsible for the streets and drainage. Mrs. Smith said Staff has reviewed the plat and finds it acceptable, subject to · conditions contained in the letter to the applicant's engineer. Since this proposed subdivision is located in Belton's ETJ, the Bell County Engineer's Office has reviewed this plat and made comments. After Council action, this plat will be taken to the Bell County Commissioners Court for action. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of these preliminary plats at their meeting on August 15, 2017, and Staff concurs. Upon a motion by Councilmember Kirkley, and a second by Councilmember Leigh, the budget amendment was unanimously approved upon a vote of 7-0. FY 2018 Budget 15. Conduct a public hearing on the proposed 2017 Property Tax Rate used for the FY 2018 Annual Budget. Director of Finance Brandon Bozon briefly reviewed historical tax rates and the proposed 2017 Property Tax Rate of $0.6598. He provided a comparison of Belton's proposed tax rate with tax rates proposed by area cities. He explained that growth in the debt service fund balance allowed for buy-down of the M&O portion of the tax rate. Councilmember Holmes said that he is not in favor of buying down the M&O rate with debt service funds in the future. Councilmember Holmes also asked about the civil service pay adjustment of 5%. He wanted to know if this adjustment was separate from the civil service step increase of 2.5%. Bozon said that the pay scales for police and fire would be adjusted by 5% which is separate from the step increases for those officers/ firefighters who are eligible for step increases. Mr. Holmes said that adjustments should be made only where the market study shows the City to be behind the market. Mr. Bozon explained that all steps are based off the beginning step. He said that Belton is at market when compared with cities of similar size. However, he said that most of our personnel are lost to area cities, and the study shows that we Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 10 are behind the market when compared to them. Mayor Pro Tern Pearson agreed that most are lost to area cities. He believes that turnover is much less since there have been pay adjustments over the last several years. Councilmember Leigh said that he believes the environment that has been put into place by the two Chiefs has gone a long way in keeping personnel. Councilmember O'Banion said if there are some levels that are competitive and some levels that are not competitive, we should not be increasing the levels that are already competitive. Mayor Pro Tern Pearson said that is difficult in a civil service environment. Mr. Bozon said that each pay level is dependent upon the lower pay levels. Councilmembers Holmes and O'Banion recommended conducting a more in-depth study on civil service pay in the next year. City Manager Listi said that Staff would start the process much earlier in the budget cycle for next year. He said that the proposed 5% increase does not take into consideration any pay adjustments that are being contemplated by other cities for FY2018. Listi added that during the budget process, both Chiefs felt having competitive pay was the most important measure in keeping employees. This pay adjustment helps the City not lose ground to its competitors. Listi acknowledged that Staff needs to do more work looking forward on a multi-year basis reviewing not only base pay, but all pay types as well. Nevertheless, Staff is recommending this 5% civil service pay adjustment for FY2018. Bozon said this is the first of two required public hearings on the tax rate. Mayor Grayson opened the public hearing on the 2017 Property Tax Rate. Seeing none wishing to speak, she closed the public hearing. No action was required by the Council. 16. Call for a public hearing to be held on Tuesday, September 12, 2017, at 5:30 p.m., at the Harris Community Center, 401 N. Alexander, for the City of Belton Budget for Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2017, and ending September 30, 2018. Councilmember Kirkley made a motion for a public hearing to be held on the proposed FY2018 budget on Tuesday, September 12, at 5:30 p.m. Councilmember O'Banion seconded the motion which was unanimously approved upon a vote of 7- 0. 17. Receive a presentation and discuss amendments to the City Belton Fee and Rate Schedule. City Clerk Amy Casey presented proposed changes to the FY2018 Fee and Rate Schedule (see Exhibit "A"). Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 11 Councilmember Leigh asked about businesses who advertise sales with signs throughout the community. He wondered if these signs were considered temporary/ portable. Director of Planning Erin Smith said there is only one temporary sign allowed per year, and it can only be in place for 90 days. She said that Code Enforcement will be addressing this issue and others that she has taken note of. Mayor Grayson asked about the new fee for a Certificate of Occupancy. Mrs. Smith said that the City has issued Certificates of Occupancy for a few years now, but there has not been a charge in the past. Mayor Grayson asked if this was for new residential structures, and Mrs. Smith said it applied only to commercial properties. She added that it takes a lot of staff time to ensure that the property is safe for occupancy. Mrs. Smith said that the contractor registration is proposed to be required every year to ensure that Staff has updated information on all contractors working in Belton. Councilmember Leigh said that there are some contractors who are taking most of the staff time, so he suggested perhaps charging a fee based per visit or some other method. Mayor Grayson asked if the brush collection fees would apply following a storm event. Director of Public Works Angellia Points said that fees would be waived following large storms. Councilmember Holmes said he was not in favor of a 66% increase in drainage fees and suggested that the fee only be increased from $3 to $4. Other Councilmembers agreed. Mr. Listi said that every $1 increase raises approximately $61,000. Mr. Bozon said that a new street sweeper, estimated to cost $250,000, is budgeted in FY2018. He believes that the sweeper could still be purchased , but it will affect the remaining fund balance that might be needed to fund drainage projects. Mr. Holmes asked if there is a difference in residential and commercial drainage rates. Mr. Bozon said that they are different, and there is no increase recommended to commercial rates. Mr. Listi said that Staff would adjust the rate to $4 with the understanding that Council will consider an increase to $5 in FY2019 and possibly to $6 in FY2020. Mr. Leigh said that there is also a possibility of borrowing money from the General Fund if urgent drainage projects emerge. Mr. Bozon reviewed the EMS rate changes with the Council. Mr. Holmes suggested increasing the No Treatment/No Transport to $200 instead of the $100 that is proposed. Councilmember Leigh asked about the wireless tower fee. Mrs. Smith said that this fee is being proposed to cover the cost of reviewing wireless tower construction plans or modifications to existing towers. Mr. Leigh suggested that perhaps the City needs to consider inspecting cell towers annually and charging a fee for that service. Mrs. Smith said she would research what other cities are doing. Belton City Council Meeting August 22, 2017 - Page 12 Mr. Listi asked Mr. Bozon to review the schedule for notification of water and sewer customers about the rate changes. Mr. Bozon said that the notices will go out on September 13th if the Council adopts the rate changes on September 12th. No action was required of the Council at this time. Executive Session At 7:28 p.m., the Mayor announced the Council would go into Executive Session for the following item: 18. Executive Session pursuant to the provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act, Chapter 551, Govt. Code, Vernon's Texas Codes Annotated, in accordance with the authority contained in Section 551.072, to discuss real estate transaction. No action was taken by the Council. The Mayor reopened the meeting at 8:15 p.m., and there being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
