Planning staff said the College Street property had previously extended from College to Carrollton Street and the owner requested subdivision into two parcels; the proposed parcels meet size requirements. The owner will dedicate additional right-of-way along Caroline Street to even out the roadway alignment, staff said. Staff noted floodplain exists on the site and that future house permits must comply with floodplain regulations and any applicable variances.

On Buffalo Springs Section 2 staff said the replat is similar in process to the College Street item and that architectural control items may apply; staff said some developer-specific questions would require follow-up with the city attorney or applicant.

Both motions passed by voice vote. Council directed that standard permitting and floodplain-compliance steps must be completed as parcels move toward building permits.","The Montgomery City Council approved a partial replat that splits a tract at 1005 College Street and approved a partial replat for Buffalo Springs Section 2; staff said each replat meets size requirements and will require follow-up floodplain and permitting compliance.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6223756,"Council authorizes WGA amendment to update feasibility study for BCS Capital development",232,1297000,1529000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3564109-ac6cb8e0a05c450e25fdb104a55808ba&start=1297&end=1529","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3564109-ac6cb8e0a05c450e25fdb104a55808ba/thumbnail_1297000.jpg","/articles/6223756/Montgomery/Montgomery-County/Texas/Council-authorizes-WGA-amendment-to-update-feasibility-study-for-BCS-Capital-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6223756-fa27f69ecb8e889591ab3cc83896188c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184831&Signature=cXKMgtTYydTGsI~nh05GDiaTvGaV~9TG5wAk1cBZ6f1-P~6hQygdYobXTu8Kg6G0ske2QqvvU5Hrfi-xUc5lEYT9JF7jA35abpbXR~0cj8o9--ixfD24I2KgpClbxbVPNk9Lnxt-8xtZzVRGnScpqjVMU4-jBDZXlRBac-kOERUapZX1P9WA~cPbghXIIOAycAZH7PaB-NemaL7VjYUboSgfnTaIn3PV-Ml1qOzf37WqEUJjlc0jcxivJrudLe9TH6EQ4M5-0pvjGsVW8pM2cjHBPqBWPdrJHU2a5MIcT-Ud-cUMJ2mj4AvUKsnzmDmKBjVvOjvS95ntKtO7FuxA4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Montgomery City Council authorized WGA to complete an amended utility and economic feasibility study for the BCS Capital property on Buffalo Springs Drive on May 27.

Staff said the original feasibility study covered roughly 32 acres along Buffalo Springs; the developer recently put six additional adjacent acres under contract, and the update will identify roadway, permit and utility extensions needed to serve the expanded parcel and estimate related costs.

During discussion council members and staff noted the updated concept plan included new pad sites and additional retail potential; staff said renderings are conceptual and end users were not yet confirmed. One council member asked about market demand for fast-food pads in the corridor; staff responded that pad uses are not guaranteed and must fall within the city’s table of permitted uses.

Council voted to accept the item and authorize the feasibility-study amendment. The study will return with updated cost estimates and recommended infrastructure work to serve the wider BCS property.","The City of Montgomery authorized an amendment for WGA to complete a utility and economic feasibility study update for the BCS Capital development after the developer added six acres to the original study area; council approved the amendment unanimously.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6223760,"Montgomery approves migration of Incode ERP and Municipal Justice to Tyler Cloud SaaS",746,1561000,2307000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3564109-ac6cb8e0a05c450e25fdb104a55808ba&start=1561&end=2307","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3564109-ac6cb8e0a05c450e25fdb104a55808ba/thumbnail_1561000.jpg","/articles/6223760/Montgomery/Montgomery-County/Texas/Montgomery-approves-migration-of-Incode-ERP-and-Municipal-Justice-to-Tyler-Cloud-SaaS","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6223760-1a02ce4f7ce4507620e7940baf2fe387/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184831&Signature=IdtV9z8PFIoaOYIoJPbwObJISZlaCZFyZsx8YKjzLXXKktOdZS8fhToW6lFS4SZ4~WAPrkLuEmpyIRFQiEesuZIHa182vAja3L-7kusGUFi71KO6XjTsVcmvKoCuGkBC43UF0CrGC4PNMuzaVZtAxAJSir0Kds1THTW3hRes7IZBbeyKu3hXky3gk9taHgkE3OQPyQJqOlkZHYVSS9XDHhf8VKOszdU9UwFXDqIC-JJWfJOACeKcRGdyri6MXEOi071BBK5wsH4CZrOjxWNjR1VVQbltUR4EXaKY4RNTn9wK2IT5mOHDZPzqOxzyH4DbYMgAzou0uqYHGd7OAai~Zg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Montgomery City Council voted on May 27 to move the city’s Incode ERP Pro 10 and Municipal Justice systems to Tyler Technologies’ cloud SaaS platform.

City staff told council members that the current on-premise (premise-based) installation has caused intermittent access and support delays; the vendor has shifted product development to its cloud platform. Staff said converting to the cloud would reduce the city’s premise-server capacity needs, provide continuous backups stored in multiple locations and simplify vendor and city support interactions.

Staff said Tyler was waiving the usual conversion fee if the city signs the vendor agreement by June 7; staff estimated a typical conversion fee for similar configurations could be around $20,000. The implementation is expected to take about six weeks after the agreement is signed. The city expects an ongoing increase in subscription costs of roughly $1,000 per month compared with current hosting, and an annual fee structure will apply.

Council members and staff discussed potential performance tradeoffs. One council member and other meeting participants said some municipal cloud migrations can be slower for large downloads; court staff said moving from Incode 9 to Incode 10 (cloud) would simplify some document access issues.

A motion to approve the migration to Tyler Cloud SaaS passed by majority vote. Staff will proceed to finalize contract terms and schedule the conversion work consistent with the vendor’s implementation calendar.","The City of Montgomery authorized a move of its Incode ERP Pro 10 and Municipal Justice systems to Tyler Technologies' cloud SaaS platform, citing improved support and cloud-based enhancements; the council approved the migration after staff outlined costs and timing.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6223765,"Montgomery council approves reduced lot setbacks for The Villages development amid density concerns",549,726000,1275000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3564109-ac6cb8e0a05c450e25fdb104a55808ba&start=726&end=1275","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3564109-ac6cb8e0a05c450e25fdb104a55808ba/thumbnail_726000.jpg","/articles/6223765/Montgomery/Montgomery-County/Texas/Montgomery-council-approves-reduced-lot-setbacks-for-The-Villages-development-amid-density-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6223765-4065f7965be74f004d9f883a90916b84/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184831&Signature=SB6N2Sq1Ij9vBBtle-SIqLx8RV0EezCNtkMtniYwPLKyzm-1mISI2mgIuU9PvAn2jVXnJdVvLxBtdPv35yT~reRrZUJ04-1O6~Ky8bMN6i~2B0q3rzZvU~0SYWcFSKrUEKURVSsXlzh94wD16L1i7ZF~kfEU8Czl5D9AboUYvl~LdqMGXfVTi6ayY17zTnqAEpDbrn-wb~VGd4I9p-BtI8FDvEAQ8OFx-DLf1as2F48xmjgzIuTcu506T~9szYb2zptoeSOGp1RhLT13IZxHXditM8Acb5wwQxgD7dTY5jXuZZmu~~KgWIdqu4JM2~41ZloubKHSwYUy-NGRzZjEag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Montgomery City Council approved variances that reduce required front-yard setbacks from 25 feet to 10 feet and side-yard setbacks from 10 feet to 5 feet for portions of The Villages of Montgomery development on May 27.

City planning staff told the council the variances do not approve final site plans or a development agreement but are needed for the developer to proceed with detailed planning. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request at its May 6 meeting and recommended approval unanimously, staff said.

Council discussion centered on density and public-safety infrastructure. A meeting speaker identified in the record as a resident warned the change would increase housing density and traffic, and urged council members to vote against the variance. A council member said the product brought by the developer is a higher-end housing type the city previously endorsed.

Staff explained the development’s proposed street cross-sections: 28-foot local streets and a boulevard consisting of two 30-foot travel sections with green space between. Staff also said the applicant has not requested a variance for green-space requirements and will be required to demonstrate compliance with green-space calculations during the planning review.

Council members asked about fire-safety approvals for narrower side yards. Staff said Texas code and the city’s requirements require fire-rated construction or masonry fire walls where buildings are closer than typical setbacks; the city’s code official confirmed a five-foot minimum side-yard configuration is permitted with appropriate fire walls.

A motion to accept the variances passed. The council did not adopt final plats or a development agreement at the meeting; staff emphasized the variance decisions do not replace subsequent permitting, flood-plain review or utility approvals required before building permits can be issued.

The council’s action allows the developer to continue the planning process that will return for additional council review and permitting steps.","The Montgomery City Council voted to grant variances reducing front- and side-yard setbacks for The Villages of Montgomery development, after staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval and council members debated traffic, fire-code impacts and neighborhood density.","actionData","errors"]
