NOTE FROM THE MAYOR:
INSIDE THIS ISSUE
Note from Mayor, Cont. ..................2
The new year arrives and the old year passes. Many of us
enjoyed fireworks, parties, and football bowl season, while
others were sledding, skiing, or sleeping. As a child, I was relegated to
“sleeper” class, but as the new year approached, I still had an anticipation
- the appearance of annual social cartoons. At New Year’s, they depicted a
teetering Father Time, stooped over and sporting his scythe, as he handed
over his duties to Baby New Year. Each year’s cartoons were different, as
each represented a different place in time for our nation. Many were as
crudely drawn as James Thurber illustrations, while others demonstrated
Norman Rockwell detail. In all cases, the really good ones had more to say
about the past year (and our hopes for the next) than a 1,000 word essay.
As I have aged, I have experienced how Baby New Year becomes a visibly
aged Father Time, but being a hopeless romantic (or for some, a crazy old
man), I eagerly await the arrival of the next Baby New Year. Like you, I hope
he offers good cheer, good companions, good experiences, good health
and a loved one with whom to share them.
For some of us, each year offers a predictable recipe of football season’s end
(for months of agony or TV emancipation), black eyed peas (for good luck),
resolve to let last year’s worries remain buried (for protection of sanity),
and those pesky resolutions (for so many things, including preservation of
hope). The most common resolutions are change jobs, go to school, make
a difference, improve finances, organize something, focus on important
relationships, and lose weight. Of these, many are impossible without help,
and each resolution maker will find a friend or loved one’s participation in
fulfilling your hopes and dreams invaluable.
As a community, this New Year’s resolution is much like each prior years’ –
make our community better than it was the prior year. For over 28 years,
Mary and I have called Shavano Park home, and with almost every passing
year, I have observed that our community was notably better than it was
the year before. Yes, there were fragments of our community who would be
more satisfied if nothing were done about roads, acquisition of fire trucks,
hiring fulltime police/fire personnel, and any number of things, but even
when such persons achieved a position of power, forward momentum would
continue as community Grinch’s were squashed.

INFORMATION
In the coming year, I assure you that those responsible
for guiding our community remain faithful to the
needs of all and watchful of the demands made by
the few. While some encourage pursuit of personal
agendas, the truth of the matter is that you cannot
please everyone, and hence, responsible persons shun
personal agendas as they pursue community balance.

For the coming year, our City administration will
remain committed to continued prompt attention to
citizen inquiries, complaints, and needs. Our police/fire
personnel will be stalwart in providing the protection
you expect. Finally, public works personnel will
continue to deliver services ensuring uninterrupted
City-provided infrastructure under their new director,
Brandon Peterson.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER:
Permit before you Build! Avoid Code Violations
City Ordinances require property owners to submit plans
and apply for a permit before you pour concrete or build
on your property. The reasons for permitting are to ensure
your structure is safe and that it complies with our laws.
Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of this requirement and
often when they build without permit they later discover the
building doesn’t meet code or it has to be moved. When you
permit, a detailed plans review occurs and we help you avoid
issues.
to a principal building or principal use; and is subordinate
in area, extent or purpose to the comfort, convenience and
necessity of occupants of the principal building or principal
use served; and contributes to the comfort, convenience and
necessity of and is located on the same building lot as the
principal building or principal use served. An accessory use
may be part of the principal building. Servants' quarters, as
herein defined, are an accessory building or use.
Sec. 36-36. - A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 PUD Single-Family
Residential Districts. (d) Exterior architectural features. Each
new structure must possess an exterior in keeping with the
residence and general atmosphere of the surrounding area.
Portable Buildings. Sec. 36-36 (h) “Except in A-1 District, a
single unattached portable building (movable) constructed
of light metal, wood or fiberglass used for storage only,
not greater than 200 square feet in size and not more than
eight feet high measured from grade level to the top of
the side wall may be erected in the rear yard providing the
building is suitably screened from adjacent property and is
unattached and without solid foundation. The highest point
of the building may not exceed 12 feet from existing grade.
In A-1 District, two unattached portable buildings described
in this subsection shall be permitted. No portable building
higher than eight feet in height measured from grade level to
the buildings highest point shall be permitted in the building
setbacks.”
Accessory Buildings. Sec. 36-1. - Definitions. Accessory
building or use. means a building or use customarily incident
Happy New Year 2016!
Bill Hill, City Manager
Shavano Market Report
A common code violation is building an accessory building in
the restricted “setback” area your property line. For the most
part, no permanent structures are allowed in the setback.
Although a single portable building (moveable without
foundation) is allowed in the rear yard setback, it cannot be
over 8 feet. The tricky part is that setback requirements vary
depending on the zoning district you reside. Additionally, the
material in which you build matters!

CITY OF SHAVANO PARK
TRIM OAK TREES NOW
December, January, July, August and September
are the approved months for trimming your Oaks.
Trimming during the proper time is the first major
step in preventing the spread of Oak Wilt. Oak
Wilt is spread in several ways. These five months
are the safest months to trim but precautions are
still necessary.
1 Hire smart! Employ a knowledgeable tree
trimming service to trim your trees.
2 Get your permit. You or your tree trimmer
will need to go to SP City Hall to get a
permit. The permit costs $35.00 and is
valid for ten (10) days.
3 Every cut or wound must be painted
over within 30 minutes of the cut. The less
professional trimmers will want to do all
the cutting, then go back to paint. That is
not acceptable as too much time can pass
and cuts can easily be missed. The best
practice is to spray as you go.
4 Your trimmer is responsible for hauling
away all the brush and debris created.
Oak Wilt has devastated 35+ acres of Hollywood
Park and has been detected both here in Shavano
Park and in Hidden Forest. Please help Shavano
Park protect our beautiful oak trees.
CHRISTMAS TREE
COLLECTION
Curbside Christmas tree collection is
scheduled for the week of January 11th –
January 15th. Please have your Christmas
trees out on the curb no later than 7 am on
January 11th.
Christmas trees may be placed out at the full
length; there is no need to cut them in half.
Please ensure the trees are stripped of any
lights, ornaments and stands.
Our mission is about life!

“Coffee With a Cop”
By Chief David Creed
Shavano Park Police invites you to have coffee with a
cop. Once a month, Shavano Park PD will meet with
local residents or business owners at a pre-announced
location where police officers will be available to visit,
answer questions, or hear comments or concerns about
events happening in and around Shavano Park.
December 8th marked the first event, held at Starbucks
at NW Military and 1604. Fifteen local residents from
the Cliffside Drive and Bent Oak Drive neighborhoods
stopped in to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and visit
with Chief Creed and Detective Sgt. Blanca Deleon.
We shared some crime prevention tips, some safety
awareness lessons, and received
a lot of information about what is
going on in some of the Shavano
Park neighborhoods.

Neighborhood WATCH News
Crime Prevention – The Neighborhood WATCH Program
GET INVOLVED IN SAFETY: “IF YOU SEE
SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING”
Submitted by Etta Fanning
In Neighborhood WATCH we talk about the
importance of becoming a good witness. Being
able to give the police an accurate description
of a “suspicious character”, break-in or burglary
is often times one of the most crucial things a witness
can do. A description of a suspect or incident is valuable
information to help the police with the investigation after
the incident. Chief Creed says “if something seems not
right, report it, and there is no incident too small for a
police officer to check it out.”
The most important features to report are sex, race, height,
weight, approximate age, hair color, eye color, clothing,
and any scars, marks or tattoos. Work from top to bottom,
making mental notes of all of the following items that you
can, of the incident and the suspect. Then write down this
information as soon as you can after an incident so that
you can report as much information as possible.
Any description you can provide is helpful to the police.
A safe community is a top priority to homeowners.
Neighborhood WATCH, in addition to forwarding crime
ALERTS from the police to Neighborhood WATCH
members, places HUGE focus on crime prevention on a
day-to-day basis as you go in and out of your garage, walk
the dog, drive on your street, etc.
ACTION STEPS:
Height: Compare to something around them
Sex: Male, Female or unknown
Hair: Color, length, style, sig, hat
Eyes: Color, glasses
Voice: Language, accent, lisp, loud, soft
Face: Nose, lips, teeth, scars, mustache, beard,
goatee, sideburns
1. Meet your neighbors and pay attention to your
neighborhood. What does normal look like?
2. Lock your doors, use your home alarms, lock your
vehicles, and remove valuables from sight. This is
not your grandmother’s day of unlocked doors.
3. Be alert.
4. Join the Neighborhood WATCH program and
register so that you receive email with SAFETY
INFO and ALERTS, and Neighborhood WATCH
communication.

ANNUAL HOLIDAY
EVENT WRAP-UP
This year we had a trolley running from the Walmart
Neighbor Store to the event and back. Many
residents found parking difficult around
City Hall so they chose to take the
trolley. It made continuous runs from
3:30 to 7:30 p.m. Cavender Cadillac
and Republic Services completely
underwrote the trolley service and
Walmart Neighborhood Market allowed
us the use their parking lot.

Saturday December 5th, Shavano
Park held its second annual Holiday
Event. Over 600 guests enjoyed the
festivities. Visiting over 25 vendor
booth, we all discovered that Shavano
Park has some of the most talented
and creative residents. It was an
amazing display of art, food and crafts
created and sold by our neighbors.
Many of us did our Christmas and
Chanukah shopping at the event.
We are a community that gratefully
shares its blessings. Thanks to you
we raised over $250 in cash and a full
barrel of food for the Food Bank. This
year the City of Shavano Park donated
more food and money than last year’s
event.
The evening culminated with the
lighting of our living Christmas tree
which has grown 3 feet. Mayor Werner
led the countdown and flipped the
switch to light the tree.
Santa arrived on a shiny red fire
truck and was met by a happy crowd
of 2-legged and 4-legged friends.
Elf Lucinda signed in the guests
for photos and helped the children
sign “Naughty or Nice list” before
meeting Santa. Santa sat with over
150 children and 20 4-legged friends
to take pictures. We have some of
the nicest and most honest children,
some actually admitted to being
occasionally naughty so they signed
on the naughty side of the list.
No event could be possible without
the help of many. Brandon Peterson,
our new Public Works Director, and
the fine folks at Public Works were
a tremendous help. Thank you to
the Shavano Park Women’s Club for
decorating the outside of the city hall
building and lobby. Special thanks
to our City Secretary Zina Tedford
and her family. Please see the lists of
sponsors and volunteers highlighted
throughout this newsletter. Mary
Werner, Michele Ross, Andrew Walters
and I totally enjoyed planning and
organizing this event.
Craft making was once again a big
hit with kids of all ages. Kids made
Popsicle stick snowflakes, Christmas
ornaments and pine cone Christmas
trees. There was hardly a sequin,
button or fuzzy cotton ball left over.
Each child left with a bag (they
decorated) full of their beautiful
artistic creations.
This year we added six carnival games
and everyone was a winner and went
home with a bag of prizes. It was great fun to see
kids challenging their parents to a game. Young, and
those of us who are still young at heart, were wearing
a variety of Christmas motif faces after getting their
faces painted.
Entertainment was provided by The Brothers
Heintzelman (they are our own Council member
Heintzelman’s sons) they played Holiday music
all afternoon and announced all the comings and
goings of the event. Inside the council chambers and
on the patio in the arts and crafts area music was
provided by “Texas Strings”. The young musicians
were amazing. Also, the Blattman choir performed
