Chair Jordan Scott opened the Public Hearing at 6:12 p.m. The following individuals spoke during the public hearing: o Thom Ferrell (3223 Park Hills Drive) spoke in opposition to this request, stating that the city should be generating as much sales tax as possible, which a bank would not contribute to, and that this would go against the corridor studies that the city has had completed. He also talked about the higher potential for crime in banking institutions as opposed to office space. o William Milligan, the design builder and owner’s representative of Vista Bank, discussed the history of Vista Bank and that this particular lot is not conducive to retail and that this bank would beautify this area of Bee Caves Rd. He also explained the request that they are making. o Amie Rodnick questioned why they went through this process as opposed to the special use permit, and William Milligan stated that their option period on this property made this time sensitive.

Chair Jordan Scott closed the public hearing at 6:26 p.m.

City Administrator Amber Lewis stated that because this property is currently zoned C-2, the Special Use Permit process is not an option.

The commission discussed how allowing this request would not benefit the city, and how it would go against the current studies that the city has undergone.

William Milligan explained that this bank was already active in the community and the Westlake area.

A representative of Vista Bank, explained that this bank is more aligned with the city than those currently in the city in regard to asset size and that they would provide dollars and lending structures that would support the existing businesses in town and the residents of the city. He stated that they are a true community partner.

Jamil Alam stated his opposition to this request. Brian Nash discussed that this was a big ask as it would change the code, and that he thinks that this change would not make sense right now. Amie Rodnick also stated her opposition to this request.

No action was taken.

City of Rollingwood, c/o Amber Lewis – City Administrator 403 Nixon Dr, Rollingwood, TX 78746 Office: 512-327-1838 ext. 105

RE: Notice to Adjust our Request for Modification to the City’s “C2” Zoning Ordinance

Mrs. Lewis, Pertaining to 2802 Bee Cave’s Road, Rollingwood, TX. 78746.

We previously spoke at the January 14th Planning and Zoning Board Meeting, on behalf of Vista Bank, to request a Modification to the City’s “C2” Zoning Ordinance in order to allow for Financial Institutions (by right) within this entire zoning district; and then again the follow evening at the January 15th City Council Meeting.

After careful review and consideration from the feedback we received from both meetings by the Vista Bank Board, we believe a more prudent approach is to modify our request before the Planning and Zoning Board reconvenes to discuss and present a decision on our initial request.

As discussed, we ask to adjust our request to modify only section 107-169, Special Exceptions under your C2 zoning Ordinance, by adding “Financial Institutions” as a use expressly allowed to request a Special Use Permit. If approved, by the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council, this would then allow Vista Bank to request a Special Use Permit for the aforementioned site; located at 2802 Bee Cave’s Road.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments regarding this request, and we will be glad to answer them.

Best Regards,

William K. Milligan, the High-Line Group, llc. Principal Assoc. AIA, LEED AP BD+C

GOOD NEIGHBOR PLANTING CONSENT FORM (CITY CODE 3.05.007(f))

Instructions This form is to be used when you are required to replant REPLACEMENT TREES as a condition of a Tree Removal Permit and you wish to replant one or more REPLACEMENT TREES on another property. 1. Identify the types and sizes of REPLACEMENT TREES you would like to replant on a property that is not your own. 2. Talk to your direct neighbors to ask permission for a space to plant one or more REPLACEMENT TREE(s) of the type and size required on one or more properties or ask the City for a list of areas within the City identified by the City Arborist for accepting REPLACEMENT TREES of the type and size required. 3. Once you have selected the species of REPLACEMENT TREE to plant, fill this form out completely and legibly. All information is required. Incomplete forms will be subject to delay. 4. Fill out a separate Good Neighbor Planting Consent Form for each neighbor property where a REPLACEMENT TREE will be planted. 5. Submit the completed Good Neighbor Planting Consent Form(s) to the City with your Tree Removal Permit application.

Tree Planting Standards - REPLACEMENT TREE planting must comply with all applicable requirements of City Code 3.05, Division 2. - Tree species should be selected for the type of REPLACEMENT TREE REQUIRED (either the Protected Tree List or 20ft Tree List), that is applicable for the planting space. For example, for a REPLACEMENT TREE species to be selected from the 20ft Tree List for planting in a neighbor’s space, the space must be within 20 ft of an above-ground utility line. For a REPLACEMENT TREE species to be selected from the Protected Tree List, the space must be farther than 20 ft from an above-ground utility line. - Newly planted REPLACEMENT TREES must be watered during the dry summer months (May to October) for at least the first three years after planting, depending on type of tree. Trees should be watered slowly to penetrate the soil deeply. - Trees must survive for at least three years after planting or must be replaced by the permit holder as agreed to below.

(Ord. No. 2019-02-20(B) , § 1(3.05.009), 2-20-2019)

Sec. 107-375. - Conditions for approval.

(a) If the protected tree is located within a setback area and the total width of the setback area is greater than ten (10) feet from the edge of a property, the protected tree shall be replaced with a total of three replacement trees that may include a selection of replacement trees under section 107- 371(d)(1) and (d)(2), and shall include at least one replacement trees under section 107-371(d)(2). (b) If the protected tree is not located within an area specified in subsection (a) of this section, the protected tree shall be replaced by one replacement tree under either section 107-371(d)(1) or (d)(2). (c) If the protected tree trunk straddles an area specified in subsection (a) of this section, the protected tree is deemed to be in the area specified in subsection (a) of this section if more than half of the diameter of the tree is within the area specified in subsection (a) of this section. (d) If the city arborist determines under section 107-373(b)(3) that an emergency existed at the time of removal that necessitated expedited removal or an applicant provides documentation from a certified arborist that a protected tree is diseased, dead, or poses an imminent or immediate threat to persons 23 4.

or property due to natural causes only and the protected tree falls under subsection (a) of this section, the city arborist may reduce the replacement tree requirement to one replacement tree under either section 107-371(d)(1) or (d)(2). (e) The mayor may act to waive the replacement tree requirement under subsection (d) of this section for a storm event, wildfire or other calamity that causes widespread or costly damage to multiple protected trees throughout the city. (f) For a permit filed with an application for development of any improvements or structures, if the density of protected trees in an area described in subsection (b) of this section is greater than seven protected trees, the number of replacement trees required under subsection (b) of this section for a removal from such area is capped at seven replacement trees, at least three of which shall meet the requirements of section 107-371(d)(2). (g) If a protected tree has a trunk on a first property and roots and canopy that extend into a second property, the owner of the second property is required to obtain a tree removal permit for removal of the protected tree prior to performing any actions that constitute removal under section 107-371(f) on the second property. For purposes of determining removal under this subsection or section 107- 371(f), damage to the root system is assessed within the area that is a number of feet in diameter from the outer edge of the tree trunk at 4½ feet from ground based on a ratio of one foot for each inch of diameter of the tree trunk. If the actions by the owner of the second property as to the protected tree trigger a requirement for the owner of the first property to apply for a tree removal permit for the protected tree, the application review fee as to the protected tree on the first property is waived.

(Ord. No. 2019-02-20(B) , § 1(3.05.009), 2-20-2019)

Sec. 107-376. - Development application requirements.

(b) The building official may not release or renew a building permit until the city arborist issues a tree removal permit for each protected tree proposed to be removed.

(Ord. No. 2019-02-20(B) , § 1(3.05.010), 2-20-2019)

Sec. 107-377. - Administrative variance.

(a) The city council may grant an administrative variance from the requirements of this subdivision if the city council determines by a simple majority that owing to special conditions pertaining to the affected property, literal enforcement of the provisions of this subdivision will result in unnecessary hardship, and the granting of the variance will not be contrary to the public interest. (b) In considering any proposed variance, the following rules shall be observed: (1) The applicant for the variance must present to the city council a set of plans prepared by a certified arborist setting out the applicant's proposal and the nature of the proposed variance; 24 4.

(2) The proposed variance may not unreasonably affect any adjoining property or the general welfare of the community; and (3) The city council must find that the applicant did not create the condition necessitating the variance. (c) If the city council grants a variance under this subdivision, the city arborist may issue a tree removal permit with terms consistent with any terms and conditions of the granted variance.

(Ord. No. 2019-02-20(B) , § 1(3.05.011), 2-20-2019)

Sec. 107-378. - Replacement procedure.

(a) Whenever replacement trees are required by the terms of this subdivision, the owner shall submit to the city arborist for approval a replacement site plan showing the locations, species and sizes of all replacement trees and vegetation for final approval by the city arborist. If during installation, the owner is unable to conform to the approved replacement site plan because conformance is not feasible due to subsurface conditions that could not reasonably have been foreseen that make the viability of the tree in the planned location unlikely, then the owner must submit an amended site plan to the city arborist within seven days of the discovery of unforeseen subsurface conditions for approval by the city arborist. An amended site plan must provide for no fewer replacement trees or cumulative size of replacement trees than provided in the originally approved replacement plan. (b) Installation of the replacement trees must be completed within the time period designated by the city arborist in the tree removal permit, however, in no event will the time period be longer than one year, however this time period is abated while a property is under construction where replacement trees are required. (c) The owner shall notify the city arborist upon completion of the installation. If more than one protected tree has been replaced, the city arborist may then inspect for compliance with the approved replacement plan. (d) All replacement trees must survive at least three years. The city arborist may contact the owner during this three year period to arrange for a site visit by the city arborist in order to confirm the replacement trees have survived. Replacement trees that do not survive for three years must be removed and replaced with similar species and sized trees. (e) The owner of property from which the removal of one or more protected trees was permitted shall arrange for the transferee of such property to submit to the city secretary a written transfer to and assumption by such transferee of the permit and all obligations of such permit with respect to required replacement trees, if all such obligations have not been satisfied at the time of transfer of the property.

(Ord. No. 2019-02-20(B) , § 1(3.05.013), 2-20-2019)

Sec. 107-379. - Violations/penalties.

(4) Except as expressly allowed pursuant to this division, to remove or to cause the removal of a protected tree without first obtaining a permit therefor; (5) To transfer property from which the removal of a protected tree has been permitted if all obligations with respect to replacement trees pursuant to the permit for such removal are not then fulfilled unless the transferee of the property agrees in a writing submitted to the city secretary to assume such permit and all obligations with respect to the planting and maintenance of required replacement trees; (6) To fail to submit an application for a permit as required pursuant to subsection (d) of this section or pursuant to section 107-373(b)(3); or (7) To fail to submit photographs or other documentation to demonstrate a requisite clear and immediate danger pursuant to section 107-373(b)(3) in connection with an unpermitted removal of a protect tree. (b) An offense shall constitute a class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.00.

Update on City Council Actions – February Meeting

 Because the Planning and Zoning Commission did not take any action on the request to amend the City's Code of Ordinances to expressly include allowing for banks and savings and/or savings and loan institutions in the current C-2 Zoning District of the City of Rollingwood, the City Council was not able to take action.  David Brasich, the new Public Works Director, started on January 27th. David comes to us from the City of Bastrop where he served as the Building Official and Flood Plain Manager. He also previously served the City of West Lake Hills. Please join us as we welcome the newest addition to the City of Rollingwood!  City Council amended the flood damage prevention ordinance to include the new FEMA FIRM Map. The City Council may also be reviewing ordinances that impact building in the flood plain.  City Council has directed staff to issue an RFP for City Engineering Services.  A site plan for Austin Eye, at 2700 Bee Caves Road, was approved.  The Commercial Corridor Task Force meetings will be set up soon: Members - Jamil Alam, Brian Nash, Alex Robinette  Currently working on ordinances to remove masonry requirements to remain consistent with state law.
