Council approves gas station deal, water service swap, appraiser and a package of ordinances
Summary
At its Nov. 20 meeting, Manor council approved a development agreement for a large MiniMax gas station on US‑290, transferred ~10.978 acres into the city's water service area, selected Flato Realty Advisors as appraiser for an PID bond issuance, and adopted ordinances revising towing/storage fee timing and special events regulations.
The City Council approved several development and administrative items in a single meeting, moving forward with projects and housekeeping ordinances the city said are needed to comply with state law and support development activity.
Development and service items
- MiniMax: Council approved a development agreement for a proposed MiniMax gas station at 13320 E. US Highway 290. Staff said the agreement is required because the project includes digital signage and the agreement ensures compliance with the city's outdoor lighting and sign codes.
- Water service transfer (CCN swap): Council approved an agreement to transfer approximately 10.978 acres from Manville Water Supply Corporation's certificated water service area into the City of Manor's certificated service area for commercial lots in the Monarch Ranch subdivision.
- Intrado Glen PID appraisal: Staff and the developer requested an updated appraisal as part of moving toward bond issuance for the Intrado Glen Public Improvement District; the council approved hiring Flato Realty Advisors LLC and authorized the city manager to execute the engagement letter.
Ordinances and administrative items
- Ordinance No. 767: Council amended the code governing the collection of evidentiary vehicle storage fees to align with state law so the city starts assessing the fee only after the vehicle is released from evidentiary purposes.
- Ordinance No. 768: Council adopted updated special events regulations to clarify definitions and align with county requirements (no fee schedule changes were made).
- Election and holiday schedule: Council approved an ordinance establishing procedures for the city's Dec. 14, 2024 general runoff election for mayor and approved closing city offices at 1 p.m. on Dec. 20 for a staff holiday luncheon.
Most motions were moved and seconded without extended debate; transcript records indicate motions passed for these items. Staff noted that several implementation steps (coordinated sign plan, legal review, public hearings, drainage studies) will follow each approval.
