4. Consider and Possible Action Regarding a Concept Plan relating to a future Zoning
Request Change from AG (Agriculture) to PD (Planned Development) on Property
Legally Described as Abstract 1024, R. Prather Survey, Tract 4, Being 29.373 Acres
and Abstract 103, P.S. Black Survey, Tract 18, Being 8.301 Acres. Property is Located
North of Indian Springs Subdivision and East of Choctaw Ridge Estates.
City Engineer, Rob Woods, recommended they change the name from Choctaw Ridge
Phase 4 to something different.
Gary Bilyeu indicated they should address each item individually. He read the first
item as follows:
Water: This area lies within the Bolivar Water Supply Corp. (BWSC) CCN and the City
limits of Sanger. Therefore, this development will be required to provide fire protection.
The waiving of this requirement can jeopardize the City's overall insurance rating and
can place an undo financial burden upon the citizens of Sanger. BWSC will need to
provide documentation to the City of Sanger to insure that their water system can meet
the minimum fire protection requirements.
Commission discussed Fire Protection and Bolivar Water.
Steve Koch indicated that Bolivar water has SDR Ultra 21 and the City's standard is C900.
Bolivar water has agreed to put in fire hydrants, and he (Mr. Koch) will put in C900 as the
City requires.
City Engineer indicated a letter from Bolivar Water will need to be submitted stating that
they will provide fire protection.
Discussion regarding the procedure for a Planned Development.
The following items from the City Engineer's letter was discussed:
Traffic and Roads: This development as shown is to be served by one entrance and
that will be off of Choctaw Ridge a county road with a width of approximately twenty-four
feet (24) with barrow ditches to handle the storm water runoff. Staff is recommending
for a connection to be provided to the east for future connectivity and a future second
point of access to the development
Road Standards: The applicant is requesting for an asphalt county road section which
would be a minimum of twenty-four feet wide with barrow ditches. Shown below are the
city ordinance(s) pertaining to this item.
City of Sanger Ordinance — Ch. 10, Section 6, Article 6.02, Section C, paragraph 1,
states that: Residential street paving shall be a minimum of thirty six feet (36) in width,
measured between the faces of curbs.
If City Council & P&Z Commission chooses to modify this requirement then Staff would
like to recommend that a concrete pavement section be utilized within this development
and that the overall street width would be no less than twenty-four feet with barrow
ditches to accommodate storm water runoff. This will coincide with the Indian Springs
which is adjacent to this proposed development. The City as part of the Capital
Improvement Program is replacing existing asphalt pavement section with a concrete
pavement section located within Indian Springs. The cost difference between the
concrete pavement section and asphalt pavement section is approximately twelve (12%)
to fifteen (15%) percent with concrete being slightly higher. The cost comparison was
made by utilizing recently obtained bids for the Indian Springs Phase 1 - Capital
Improvements Program. Shown below are the city ordinances pertaining to this item.
Mr. Koch indicated that a 12 to 15% increase is a lot of money. The profit margin is not
there to do concrete. He indicated there is a lot more involved than just the actual pavement.
Gary Bilyeu indicated that Mr. Koch is giving quite a bit to the City, he's giving large homes
and lots, which will create tax revenue. In turn, Mr. Koch is requesting a waiver from
concrete streets.
A property owner in the audience indicated that his main concern was the increased traffic
and drainage. There is already a drainage problem in the area.
Mr. Koch indicated the drainage will be detained, the runoff will not be increased.
Discussed traffic flow.
Paul Edleman indicated that if they include the access to the East, it will sit for however long
it takes to develop the property to the East.
Property owners expressed concerns regarding increased traffic through their subdivision.
Discussion followed.
Steve Koch indicated he was asking for compromises. He is not getting City water or sewer,
but he is giving the City 28 new homes.
The next item discussed was the following:
Landscaping and Sidewalks:
Sidewalks: City of Sanger Ordinance — Ch. 10, Section 6, Article 6.03, states that:
Sidewalks in industrial areas and planned developments will be as required by the city
Discussed that Mr. Koch is requesting a variance on sidewalks.
Driveways: If City Council & PU Commission chooses to modify this requirement then
Staff would like to recommend that a concrete driveway be constructed within the public
right-of-way limits. Shown below are the city ordinances pertaining to this item.
City of Sanger Ordinance — Ch. 3 Article 3.1200, Section 4 states that: All driveways shall
be constructed using 3000 psi concrete with #3 bars at 24' o.c. In accordance with
NCTCOG standard specfications, latest edition.
City of Sanger Ordinance — Ch. 3 Article 3.1200, Section 2 — paragraph E, states that:
All driveway culverts within the city shall be designed to accommodate 100 vear storm
events and shall be constructed in accordance with TXDOT standards with minimum 6:1
headwalls.
Mr. Koch indicated he will put in Concrete driveways from the road to the house and
culverts per City ordinance.
The next item discussed was the following:
Signage: The applicant is requesting forfour (4) monument signs. Staff recommends
two monument signs located at the main entrance. All monument signs will need to be
located outside of the public right-of-way. Maintenance of the signs shall be the
responsibility of the property owners or the Homeowners Association.
Mr. Koch indicated that was an error on his part, he did only intend to have two signs, and
they will be outside of the Right of Way.
The roads were addressed again, discussion continued regarding asphalt versus concrete
streets.
A property owner asked if Mr. Koch had possibly considered purchasing the 15 acres tot
he North for an additional entrance to the subdivision.
Discussion followed regarding roads, deed restrictions and the architectural review
committee.
Paul Edleman asked if they allowed him to put in an asphalt road would he dedicated the
right of way for the entrance to the East.
Mr. Koch indicated that he would.
A property owner asked if Mr. Koch could be asked to help improve the existing road.
Paul Edleman indicated it is a County road and they cannot do that.
Discussion continued.
Glen Jensen indicated he was in preference of concrete roads, and was worried about setting
a precedent.
Russell Martin also indicated he was in favor of requiring concrete roads.
Discussion regarding the proposed development.
Gary Listed the items the commission would like added to the PD.
1. A letter from Bolivar Water as discussed.
2. A copy of the Architectural Control Restrictions
3. The R.O.W. dedication to the East.
4. Change the name of the development.
Paul Edleman moved to accept the concept plan with the items as spelled out. Brian
Hutcherson seconded.
Russell Martin indicated they were giving him variances on the sidewalks, and curb and
guttered streets. He felt like they were giving him everything he requested, and he would like
to see them stick with concrete streets.
Discussion followed regarding concrete versus asphalt and the maintenance involved.
Motion carried 3 to 2, Glen Jensen and Russell Martin voted against.
5. Consider and Possible Action Regarding a Preliminary Plat for Indian Lane
Elementary School. Property is Located on Indian Lane, North of McReynolds Road,

a.m. at the Clear Creek Intermediate School.
