Travis County Commissioners Court
January 17, 2012 (Agenda)
Item 2
Number 2 is a public hearing to receive comments for recording steiner ranch, phase 2, section 10, resubdivision of lot 1, block c, resubdivision final plat, 14 total lots, 10 commercial lots, two open space lots and two private joint use access lots in precinct 2.
>> move the public hearing be open.
>> second.
>> all in favor?
that carries unanimously.
>> the purpose of this item is to resubdivide an existing lot in steiner ranch phase 2, section 10 from one lot into 14 lots.
and it will be a combination of commercial open space and a private joint use access easement.
there have been some questions by the community about this.
we gave them more information.
I don't know of any objections to this.
this item, it meets our requirements, but it's along 620 and quinlan park and we recommend its approval.
>> this is item number 2.
if you would like to give comments during this public hearing, please come forward.
>> judge, in the absence of any comment, I'll just comment briefly on behalf of the residents' concerns, increasing density in the steiner ranch area since it's essentially landlocked by them and the river and two roads that have very little chance of increased capacity being 620 and 2222.
the residents' concerns are for mobility and fire access and just generally their ability to move around in that space.
but as anna has stated, it meets all the requirements we are to provide by statute and I i will -- I will see this go on consent without complaint, but noting that increased density in that area is problematic in the extreme.
>> if I might, since this is related to that, we are working on the single access codes in both title 30 and hopefully we'll get that into chapter 82 as well.
however, this is under our current regulation as you stated and it meets the requirements.
>> one bright spot in it is because it is commercial resubdivision, at least it will give some in steiner amenities that will reduce the need to go on 620 or 2222 to go get most amenities without knowing what the commercial lots will hold.
>> that's true.
>> last call for resident input.
>> can I ask for more clarification.
you said 620 and written land --quinlan park road.
is this likely to require another access on 620?
>> I don't believe that it is.
if it does, we would need to follow up with an advance funding agreement just as we did with the other commercial.
>> I'm just concerned about the safety in that particular area because of the grades.
>> I don't believe that it is, but I could check.
>> does the city of Austin have one public hearing or two?
>> I believe they had one.
>> and no public input?
>> that's -- that's my understanding.
>> any other comments, questions?
>> move the public hearing be closed.
>> second.
>> all in favor?
that passes by unanimous vote.
this will be action item number 17 on today's agenda.
