HE SAID THAT THE TDS OWNERS WERE ERECTING A SECOND BARBED WIRE FENCE, THUS CREATING A 40'-50' STRIP. THE WORKMEN INFORMED MR KNIKER THAT THE INTENT WAS TO RUN CATTLE ON THIS AREA. MR. KNIKER QUESTIONED WHETHER THE CITY WOULD ALLOW SUCH ACTIVITY, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THAT THE AREA WAS DESIGNATED AS A BUFFER AS AGREED TO IN THE ORIGINAL REZONING TO M-1 WITH DEED RESTRICTIONS AND THEN'.REQUIRED BY THE FINAL R&D ZONING THAT REPLACED THE M-1 ON THE TDS PROPERTY. WE RESEARCHED BOTH REZONING FILES, THE PRELIIvIINARY AND FINAL PLAT FII.ES, THE SITE PLAN FII,E, AND THE R&D BUFFER RESTRICTIONS. LEE WENT OUT TO LOOK AT THE AREA, AND JANE SPOKE WITH BOB BOWERS. BOWERS TOLD JANE THAT THE AREA HAD ALWAYS HAD SOME CATTLE ON IT, AND THAT HE HAS PROVIDED A PASSAGE BETWEEN TWO PASTURES FOR 4-6 COWS TO ACCESS. HE ADDED THAT THE INTENTION IS STII.L TO MAKE THE LOTS THAT MAKE UP THE BUFFER ZONE AVAILABLE FOR SALE TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS IN ,THE FUTURE, AND THAT THE PASSAGE AREA IS TEMPORARY. WE HAVE MADE THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: 1. THE WRITTEN REFERENCES TO THE BUFFER AREA IN THE FILES STATE THAT THE AREA IS TO BE MAINTAINED IN ITS "NATURAL" STATE AND THAT THE LOTS IlVIlv1EDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE R-1 AREA ARE TO CONSTITUTE THE BUFFER 2. THE R&D RESTRICTS 'ACTIVITIES WITHIN A BUFFER AREA TO PASSIVE RECREATION, INCLUDING EQUESTRIAN TRAILS. FROM A LAND USE STANDPOINT, PROVII;ING A PASSAGE FOR CATTLE IS SIIvIILAR TO EQUESTRIAN TRAIL. PROVIDED THAT THE ANIMAL DENSITY REMAINS LOW. 3. JANE AND I WERE INVOLVED IN ALL OF THE MEETINGS THAT TOOK PLACE BETWEEN BOWERS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS. OUR RECOLLECTION IS THAT THE .BUFFER AREA ' WAS TO REMAIN NATURAL, IlvIPLYING THAT NO ADDITIONAL PLANTINGS Olt IRRIGATION WOULD BE REQUIRED. IN EXCHANGE i FOR RELIEF FROM THE ADDITIONAL COST OF PLANTINGS AND IRRIGATION, BOWERS AGREED TO A LARGER BUFFER AREA THAN WOULD BE REQUIRED UNDER R&D REQUIltEMENTS. BOWERS ESSENTIALLY AGREED TO SUPPLYING 4.1 ACRES RATHER THAN THE 1.4 ACRES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE r~III~TIMUM REQUIRED UNDER THE MA~QMUM R&D BUFFER STRII'. THEREFORE, STAFF HAS REACHED THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSION: BOWERS IS PERMITTED TO RUNA REASONABLEAMOUNT OF CATTLE THROUGH THE BUFFER AREA AS LONG AS THE PROPERTY REMAINS UNDER HIS OWNERSHIP AND WITH THE CONDITION THAT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF THE NATURAL VEGETATION REMAINSINTACT. ;Shirley Volk - Re Texas Digital Systems., ._ Page.1.
