Salado Board of Aldermen will discuss variance requests during a 6:30 p.m. Jan. 7 meeting at the Municipal Building, 301 N. Stagecoach Rd.

Among the requests for variance are these:

• Presentation, discussion, and possible action on reconsideration of a variance to Section 4.2b, Protection of Drainage and Creek Areas, of the Subdivision Ordinance in accordance with Ordinance 2008-20 Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, Section 40 Variance Procedures, for the Creekside Meadow subdivision.

• Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a request for a waiver to Section 3.1 of the Subdivision Ordinance (road curvature) for Windmill Estates, a subdivision located in the Village’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.

• Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a request for a waiver to Section 3.1 of the Subdivision Ordinance (cul-de-sac length) for Salado Country Estates, a subdivision located in the Village’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction.

In other business, the board will also discuss and possibly adopt a policy to set forth guidelines for the establishment, membership, scope, term, and conduct of existing and future Committees and Citizen Advisory Boards appointed by the Board of Aldermen.

The board will also have monthly reports from the Mayor, each alderman, department heads and city manager.

The BOA has scheduled public hearings on The Sanctuary, including annexation hearings on Jan. 14 and Jan. 21 at 6:30 p.m. and a public hearing on the P&Z recommendations on zoning and rezoning of The Sanctuary property within the current Village limits to Planned Development.

After the public hearings, the board is slated to approve the voluntary annexation request of more than 300 acres into the Village of Salado at a meeting in February.

The donation of land for a wastewater treatment plant, a discharge permit and the voluntary annexation requests hinge on the approval of the zoning requests by The Sanctuary. The donations were part of several agreements signed into effect in November that included tax abatements, rebates of hotel motel taxes and other economic incentives for The Sanctuary.
