APPROVAL OF MINUTES:

• item was approved under the consent agenda.
PROCLAMATIONS:
7A. Consider proclaiming November 2007 as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease Awareness Month. The Mayor read the following proclamation and presented it to
Linda Jones and Amy Ellsworth, on behalf of the 2007 Central Region COPD (Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) Awareness Committee.
38
NOVEMBER 20, 2007
WHEREAS, chronic lung diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis; known
collectively as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are the fourth leading cause
of death in the United States; and,
WHEREAS, 16 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with some
form of COPD and the same number of individuals go undiagnosed, and COPD costs the U.S.
an estimated 31.9 billion a year, and,
WHEREAS, COPD is commonly an invisible disease until symptoms appear, and
awareness, early detection, and treatment are crucial in the prevention or slowing of the
spread of lung disease,
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved, that I, Nyle Maxwell, Mayor of the City of Round
Rock, do hereby proclaim November 2007 as:
"Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Awareness Month"
in the City of Round Rock, and I urge all citizens to help raise awareness of the prevalence
of COPD and the serious effects associated with the disease.
PROCLAIMED this 20th day of November 2007.
PRESENTATIONS:
8A1. Consider a presentation regarding the Water Distribution Audit recently
completed by JBS Associates. Michael D. Thane, Director of Utilities, made the staff
presentation. This presentation updated the City Council on the water distribution audit
which diagnosed the system for unaccounted-for water loss and identified additional cost
savings and efficiencies. The last audit to be done was in 2002. Mr. Thane outlined and
highlighted the audit as well as the recommendations. The audit is designed to help the City
reduce the balance of water loss as cost effectively as possible and places emphasis on the
meter management, meter sizing, and bulk meter aspects, as well as leakage. In
evaluating the water system, JBS verified available historical data representing the •
quantities of water produced or pumped for distribution. This evaluation identified where
actions needed to be taken by the City to reduce losses in the system. Considerable
savings in water loss and associated costs could be achieved through implementation of the
audit conclusions.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
9A1. Consider public testimony regarding the proposed amendments to Chapter
11, Zoning regarding eating establishments and indoor entertainment activity facilities and
to limit their proximity to residential lot lines. Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the
staff presentation. This set of amendments provides increased protection to residential lots
adjacent to eating and drinking establishments and indoor entertainment facilities (e.g.
arcades, pool halls, theaters, etc). Homeowners have experienced increased interface
problems when these uses abut their lots. Presently, the Zoning Ordinance requires only a
50 foot separation from a residential property line to an eating and drinking establishment
or indoor entertainment facility. The 50 foot separation has fallen short of providing
residential property owners with the protection they need. The spill over effects from both
uses, including noise, vehicular traffic (including drive through traffic) and the gathering of
late night crowds warrant increased separation standards.
'39
NOVEMBER 20, 2007
Staff proposes the following amendments to the C-1 (General Commercial) and C-1a
(General Commercial Limited) zoning districts to ensure more effective compatibility:
For free-standing buildings (pad-sites)
• For free-standing eating and drinking establishments and indoor entertainment facilities, staff
proposes to increase the building separation to 150 feet from a residential property line. See
attached Graphic A.
• No outdoor eating, drinking and entertainment areas and/or patios, drive through lanes and
• associated facilities, trash dumpsters and receptacles, and loading/unloading facilities shall be
permitted within the 150 separation.
For establishments located within a multi-tenant building (shopping center)
• For eating and drinking establishments and indoor entertainment facilities located within a
multi-tenant building, staff proposes to maintain the existing 50 foot separation, but to require
that any outdoor eating, drinking and entertainment areas/patios and drive-through lanes and
associated facilities be located 150 feet away from a residential property line. See attached
Graphic B.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing.
There being no testimony, the public hearing was.closed.
9A2. Consider public testimony regarding an application to zone 8.75 acres located
at the southwest corner of Forest Creek Drive and Rusk Road to Planned Unit Development
(PUD) No. 77 zoning district. Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff
presentation. The property is a portion of an area which was annexed into the City in
October of 2006. The site is located at the intersection of Forest Creek Drive and Rusk Road
• and is identified by the General Plan 2000 as Residential. The Residential designation
permits local commercial uses at major intersections. The Planned Unit Development (PUD)
allows for Local Commercial (C-2) uses, with the exception of specific uses eliminated
through discussions with residents of the adjacent neighborhood.
The following local commercial uses are not permitted in the PUD: auto service
facilities (gas station with convenience store), community services (libraries, senior centers,
etc.), eating establishments, government facilities, upper-story residential and attached
wireless transmission facilities.
The PUD contains design standards which require buildings on site to be oriented
around a green, a plaza or another type of public open space. The PUD further requires
that covered sidewalks and walkways connect the buildings, parking and plaza. In addition,
parking must be located outside of the primary street yard, on the sides or to the rear of
the buildings. Only landscaping is allowed 'in the primary street yard of the building and the
• secondary street yards must contain a 15-foot wide landscaped strip adjacent to the right-
of-way. The PUD also specifies that the building height be limited to one story. Other
design standards required in the Local Commercial district are also required.
40
NOVEMBER 20, 2007
A significant amount of coordination was done with the neighboring Sonoma
residents during the rezoning process. The PUD has been designed to represent the results
of the discussions held.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing.
There being no testimony, the public hearing was closed.

VIA HAND DELIVERY
Dear Sara:
Articles 11 and 16 of the Texas Constitution provide that if a councilmember"shall
announce their candidacy . . . for any office . other than the office held, at any time
when the unexpired term of the office held shall exceed (1) year, such announcement . . .
shall constitute an automatic resignation of the office then held."
The Constitution further provides that"any vacancy . . . on such governing body . . .
must be filled by majority vote of the qualified voters at a special election . . . within 120
days after such vacancy occurs."
Following Mayor Maxwell's recent announcement that he does not intend to seek
another term as Mayor, I am announcing tonight that I intend to seek the office of Mayor
during the May election.
Therefore, in compliance with the Constitution of the State of Texas, I am also
announcing my immediate resignation from the position of City Council Place 2. This
resignation shall also include my position on the Round Rock Transportation System
Development Corporation, and the various corporations established by the City of which I
am a member. •
Please be advised that I delayed making a decision and an announcement until the
May election was less than 120 days away. By doing so, the election to fill my seat should
be held at the regular May election, thus avoiding the expense of a special election.
Regardless of the outcome of the Mayoral election, I would like the minutes to reflect
my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the citizens of Round Rock for the opportunity to
serve them over the last seven years. I would also like to say that it has been a highlight of
my life to serve alongside the Mayor, current members of the Council, the current members
of staff, and all the previous councilmembers and staff with whom I've had the privilege of
working. It truly has been an unforgettable blessing.
Sincerely yours,
Alan McGraw
City Council Place 2
