Loading...
Summary
The Helotes council approved consent agenda item 3, granted approvals for a drive-through commercial permit including both parts a and b of item 4, and approved a 20-foot right-of-way variance for Pineapple School after engineers said TxDOT had no objection; staff direction or conditions were not recorded in the transcript.
The Helotes City Council took several routine actions and approved a land-use variance at its meeting.
The council first approved consent agenda item number 3 after a motion by Cato and an unspecified second; the chair called for voices and the motion carried. The transcript records no further discussion or roll-call vote totals.
On item 4, councilmembers discussed a proposed drive-through commercial facility for a national coffee chain, noting the Planning and Neighborhood Commission (PNC) raised sign issues but otherwise had no objection. A motion (transcribed as "by book") and a second by McAllen were recorded; the council approved item 4, including both parts a and b, without recorded opposition.
Item 5 concerned a requested 20-foot right-of-way variance for a proposed Pineapple School site. Jesse Gevnip of LM Commercial Real Estate said he represented the principal buyer and Desi Valdez of KFM engineering and design explained the extra right-of-way ensures required parking counts for the school building. Valdez said the project went through review with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), which made "no comment about needing that 20 feet of right-of-way." Councilmember Russell moved the item; the council voted to approve it. The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or any imposed conditions.
Ending: After these approvals the council adjourned at 7:11 p.m.
