MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 25, 2015 for those who cannot afford recreation fees. Joriman indicated that LCRA appreciates the City's cooperative efforts and hopes to continue its relationship with the City for years to come. On behalf of the entire Council, Mayor Keis thanked LCRA for its generous donation and the outstanding working relationship it has had with the City. Montour indicated that LCRA is always looking for new members and suggested that anyone interested visit their web site for more information. PROPERTY Keis opened the Public Hearing to consider the request to subdivide DIVISION — the property at 716 LaBore Road into two single-family lots. Keis noted 716 LABORE that the Planning Commission has recommended approval of the property ROAD — division subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City CARLSON Planner and the City Engineer and subject to the developer trying to obtain an easement from the owner of 715 Keller Parkway to pipe run-off to Keller Parkway. The City Planner reviewed his report dated February 5, 2015 relative to the application to subdivide 716 LaBore Road into two single-family lots. He noted that the property is zoned Single -Family Residential R-1, and the proposed new lots exceed slightly the minimum standards for that district. The Planner reported that there had been a house on this property, but it was removed a few years ago. The Planner noted that the property slopes to the south and the primary issue with the subdivision request is how the drainage will be managed. He noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the subdivision subject to the City Engineer's recommendations outlined in his February 5, 2015 report. The Planning Commission has also recommended that the applicant attempt to obtain an easement from the owner at 715 Keller Parkway to pipe the water run-off to Keller Parkway. Dick Kotaski, Coldwell Banker Burnet, reported that he is representing Jerry Carlson of Exceptional Homes by Design. Kotaski indicated that a letter was sent to Adele Boettner, 715 Keller Parkway, asking if she would be willing to grant a drainage easement so that run-off could be piped to Keller parkway. The City Engineer reported that he has discussed the situation with Ms. Boettner and explained that he asked the developer to contact her regarding an easement. The Engineer indicated that he explained to Boettner that he saw the piping of this run-off as a benefit to Boettner's property, and it seemed that Boettner would be willing to grant the easement to install the storm water pipe. 2
