Mr. Schwanke gave a power point presentation regarding the "Yougas Property"
development plat. He notated that the development plat is within Anna's ETJ and that
the plat meets city requirements and is recommended for approval.
A motion was made by Mr. Williams to approve the "Yougas Property" development
plat. Mr. Musmeci seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.
4. (a) Public Hearing: To consider public comment on an ordinance of the city of
Anna, Texas, amending the Anna City Code of Ordinances by amending Part II,
Article III by adding regulations related to alcoholic beverages; by amending Part
III -C, Zoning Ordinance, Section 34.12 regulating location and uses related to sale
of alcoholic beverages.
The Public Hearing opened at 7:07 p.m. Mr. Schwanke noted that this ordinance which
deals with alcohol is being brought forward for several reasons as follows:
a. To incorporate the alcohol related ordinances that are separate and not
codified in the Anna Code into one document;
b. To incorporate court findings that are contrary to some of the provisions
contained in our codes; and
c. To facilitate development within the "Downtown Redevelopment District".
This amendment to the Anna Code will help when people are researching our website
concerning our ordinance on how we work with alcohol instead of trying to obtain all the
separate ordinances that are currently in place. He also noted that the Staff is in favor of
approval of this ordinance. The Public Hearing closed at 7:09 p.m.
(b) Consider/Discuss/Act on recommendation regarding an ordinance of the city of
Anna, Texas, amending the Anna City Code of Ordinances by amending Part II,
Article III by adding regulations related to alcoholic beverages; by amending Part

III -C, Zoning Ordinance, Section 34.12 regulating location and uses related to sale
of alcoholic beverages.
A motion was made by Mr. Skotzke to approve the ordinance. Mr. Williams seconded
the motion. The vote was unanimous.
5. (a) To consider public comment regarding an ordinance of the City of Anna, Texas,
amending the Anna City Code of Ordinances, by amending Part III -C; Zoning
Ordinance, Section 4 Definitions and Section 35 Supplemental District Regulations;
by adding Section 35.04; a, b, and c, regarding a Waiver of Strict Compliance of
masonry content or definition for regionally or nationally recognized commercial
trademark architectural design of structures.
The Public Hearing opened at 7:17 p.m. Mr. Schwanke noted that this ordinance revision
allows the City Council to waive requirements of its masonry standards in instances
where strict compliance may not be in the best interest of the City. There are some chain
businesses that have identifying trademark architectural styles. In some instances, but not
all, it may be advantageous to have a mechanism in place to accommodate these entities
and allow modifications of our standards. Additionally, this ordinance tightens up our
definition of masonry to not include basic CMU blocks. At a minimum blocks must be
split face. He also noted that the staff is recommending approval of this ordinance until
such time as the entire zoning ordinance is reviewed.
(b) Consider/Discuss/Act on an ordinance of the City of Anna, Texas, amending the
Anna City Code of Ordinances, by amending Part III -C; Zoning Ordinance, Section
4 Definitions and Section 35 Supplemental District Regulations; by adding Section
35.04; a, b, and c, regarding a Waiver of Strict Compliance of masonry content or
definition for regionally or nationally recognized commercial trademark
architectural design of structures.
A motion was made by Mr. Williams to approve the ordinance. Mr. Skotzke seconded
the motion. The vote was unanimous.
6. Consider action to approve Minutes of the March 20, 2012 special meeting.
A motion was made by Mr. Musmeci to approve Minutes of the April 2, 2012 meeting.
Mr. Skotzke seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.
7. Adjourn
There being no further business, a motion was made by Mr. Skotzke, seconded by Mr. Musmeci
to adjourn meeting. The meeting adjourned at 7:27 p.m.
