Public Hearino Discussion
Steve Knobbe (St. Martin de Porres Parishioner and Project Liaison): Provided background of
St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church, including current and future operations, building and site
design, and timeline for construction. Stated the parish will not petition to increase the distance
for the sale of alcohol beyond the 300 feet requirement, but would protest sexually oriented
businesses within the proximity of the development.
Bill Baird (Applicant): Described which access points are being proposed with phase 1, future
access points, and traffic impact on the surrounding area. Stated that all school and church
traffic queuing for both phase 1 and buildout will take place onsite without stacking onto
adjacent thoroughfares. Indicated the school will not expand classes beyond 81h grade and
intends for the athletic fields to be non -lighted.
Webb: Stated TxDOT must approve traffic signals on US 380, and the need is warranted by
traffic counts. Discussed the proposed access points and the importance of the traffic being
dispersed in multiple directions.
Alex Alvarado (Adjacent Property Representative): Requested to table the SUP request until
his client, Texas Republic Realty, has an opportunity to speak with the church.
Snyder: Asked for clarification on the timeline implications of a tabling request and the potential
issues Texas Republic Realty feels may arise from the approval of the SUP.
Webb: Discussed timeline for consideration at Town Council.
Daniel. Confirmed the SUP request is for a child day care center, and the proposed school use
is permitted by right; therefore the 300 feet alcohol regulation is already applicable, regardless
of the SUP request.
Simon Beaky (Adjacent Property Representative): Stated the SUP request would negatively
affect both of Texas Republic Realty's properties.
Duncan Gray (Adjacent Property Owner): Expressed concerns regarding the alcohol
regulations that would be imposed with the approval of the SUP.
Glushko: Described the proposed lot layout, and indicated that Mr. Gray's property would not
fall within 300 feet of the church, school, or day care lot.
Bill Baird (Applicant Representative): Described the 300 foot distance from the property line
and confirmed no church or educational facilities will be developed on the easternmost lot.
Patrick Jones (St. Martin Parishioner): Expressed support for the church and the use.
David Blom (Windsong Ranch Developer): Expressed appreciation for the St. Martin de Porres
staff taking time to discuss proposed development with Windsong residents, noted support for
the request, and discussed how the pressure of upcoming development could warrant traffic
signals in the area along US 380.
