ICYMI: Post Oak development updated, Buc-ee's additional land rezoning public hearing set
From updated development agreements in Fair Oaks Ranch to upcoming meetings regarding a Buc-ee’s rezoning, here are five government stories from August.
What's happening? Ammann Road in Fair Oaks Ranch is due for reconstruction, utilizing bond funds to repair and slightly expand the road within the city limits. On Aug. 21, Fair Oaks City Council held a workshop to discuss potential low water crossing changes during reconstruction. In February, the city entered an agreement with STV Inc. for engineering services for the project.
What else? The rezoning of a proposed parking area for Buc-ee’s in Boerne is expected to be presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 8, with City Council ratification planned for Sept. 23. During city meetings in July and August, Boerne residents have raised concerns about the Buc-ee’s development and the agreement that was approved in 2016. Earlier this year, Buc-ee’s purchased a tract of land from the Texas Department of Transportation, or TxDOT, next to the larger parcel the convenience chain owned.
