HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM HEATHER: Our front-page story in this edition—written by Reporter Sierra Martin—tells the story of how local hospitals are investing and preparing for the increase in demand for women’s health services. The number of babies being born per month has doubled in the last couple of years. We also provide a feature on the Lone Star Float House & Grill. If you have not tried a cheeseburger from them, I highly recommend it. See our dining feature on Page 31.
Heather Demere, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM ERIC: In this edition, we oer a feature on how the Pak Medical Center is bringing together specialists in a way that is more typical of a full hospital (see Page 25) as well as a report on how some physicians in New Braunfels are giving subscription-based health care a try (see Page 21). Our 2023 Health Care Edition oers a lot of timely information for New Braunfels readers to consider. We also highlight Hound Haus, a luxury canine boarding business in New Braunfels (see Page 29).

Meet Travis Baker
Austin Metro Publisher
What’s your typical day as a CI Publisher? TB: One thing I love about my job is that no two days are the same, each lled with new challenges and opportunities. On average, my day starts with some internal meetings. Next, I am in the eld riding along with a sales rep to help pitch a local business as to why our advertising portfolio is the best investment they can make. Then I’m at a chamber networking event, and throughout the day I may be mixing in some editorial decisions on late breaking content, scheduling future stories, etc. Each day my calendar is booked, but rarely is there a day playing out as planned.
What’s your favorite memory working for CI? TB: I’ve had many great memories over my 13 years. One that sticks out the most is when we launched a paper in my hometown of New Braunfels and saw the emails ooding in after our rst delivery. I started documenting them, and when I got to page seven or eight, I realized it was never going to end. The launch was rewarding for myself and also the community.
Where might CI expand to next in your metro? TB: Good question. We have quite a few fans out there, and they are not shy to let us know where we’re needed. I’ve heard from people in Waco, Killeen, Temple, Bastrop and Highland Lakes, to name a few. I look forward to the day that every community across Texas has Community Impact serving it.

FEATURED IMPACT What was once an empty backyard is now the home of Cosmic Plant Co. , a local women-owned plant shop and greenhouse in the Gruene Historic District. The plant shop and greenhouse, located at 1640 Hunter Road, opened April 20. The shop, owned by New Braunfels natives Katilyn Pummill and Jenn Kelly, is made from reclaimed wood and tin from a 100-year-old barn that was previously on the property. A number of its plants are sourced from small, local growers. Cosmic Plant Co. sells succulents, gardening tools, ceramics, bath salts, indoor plant nutrient drops, handmade baskets, sustainable home goods and more. The business also provides potting services and workshops. Pummill said they try to sell specialty plants and curate items they love. “A lot of our stu is kind of Southwestern forward,” Pummill said. “Every boutique is a little bit dierent ’cause whoever’s running those, they’re picking stu that they like, so we try to blend old world with new world, Southwestern with also classic Americana green.” She said the business’s name “came to fruition by itself.”
“We were just sitting down brainstorming one day, and we’re just like, ‘Well, what about cosmic?’” Pummill said. “We felt like with plants, there’s so much variety; there’s so many dierent ways that we want to take this business, dierent avenues that we want to pursue [with] this business. So it just kind of made sense, but we’re really happy with how it all came together.” Pummill said they love having their business in their hometown. “We are at a tourist destination, but we have so many friends and family that have already come through the space, and that’s what makes it feel like home to us,” she said. 830-214-6418. www.cosmicplantco.com

ONGOING PROJECTS
Klein Road widening moves forward
PROJECT SCOPE
BY SIERRA MARTIN
city’s assistant transportation and capital improvements director. “It’s funded mostly through the 2019 bond, but there’s also a portion of the 2013 bond that’s contributing to the project to address the drainage issues,” McClelland said. Klein Road closed at the end of May from Dove Crossing to Roadrun- ner Avenue to build a bridge over a low-water crossing. Timeline: May 2023 to fall 2024 Cost: $14.46 million Funding source: funded through 2013 and 2019 city bonds
Budget breakdown • Capital excavation (city portion): $12.89 million • Construction contingency: 7% or $902,399 • Construction materials testing: $384,000 • Design engineer construction administration: $278,582 • Add an underground storm sewer • Relocate New Braunfels Utilities water line The project will widen Klein Road to a four-lane section from Walnut Avenue to FM 725 as it is expanded westbound from Walnut Avenue to FM 1044. The road work will: • Widen the roadway to a four-lane section • Replace a low-water crossing with bridge structure • Add a 10-foot shared-use path and a 6-foot sidewalk
The second phase of construction on Klein Road will begin this month, which is intended to improve drain- age and safety on the roadway. New Braunfels City Council approved the joint contract between the city and New Braunfels Utilities to complete Phase 2 of the construc- tion during a regular meeting May 8. “[A] major component of the proj- ect is replacing the existing low-water crossing with a bridge structure, so pulling that roadway out of the oodway,” said Scott McClelland, the

City sta is seeking to have these plans updated and reviewed to pres- ent to council in July. The city is also looking to provide better guidance on sidewalk, bike lane and shared-use paths, including uniform standards on when and where handrails are deemed appropriate. Minimum sidewalk widths, turn lane size requirements and other standards are not clear or comprehensive in the city code, Ford said. New standards coming for road construction materials City sta is recommending updates to pavement design guidelines for streets along with pedestrian and bicycle lane engineering standards. These updates include changing the formulas and specications for subgrade, base and hot mixes to prevent early pavement failures, such as potholes and cracking, to lower the cost of maintenance, according to a presentation by Garry Ford, director of transportation and capital improve- ments for the city of New Braunfels, during a special City Council meeting May 15. “We want to make sure we’re getting pavements lasting 10-20 years or more with the appropriate preventative maintenance versus going through and doing a full rebuild,” Ford said. Updates to asphalt formulas are meant to prevent premature cracking. SIERRA MARTINCOMMUNITY IMPACT

to Pahmeyer Road will be reduced from ve lanes to two lanes with one travel lane in each direction. The lane reduction is scheduled for three months to remove and replace existing roadway due to the condition and age of the pavement, according to the city. The remaining work from Pahmeyer Road to FM 725 includes milling and overlaying the road surface, which is expected to last two months.

The draft can be found on the Comal County Emergency Management webpage at www.co.comal.tx.us/EOC.htm. COMAL COUNTY As of May 1, the Comal County Tax Oce in New Braunfels can process passport applications. NEW BRAUNFELS The former Comal County Senior Citizens’ Center, located at 655 Landa St., was unanimously approved by City Council upon rst reading to be rezoned as a light industrial district May 22. The Crisis Center of Comal County is the owner and is seeking to build its new facility at the location. “IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR; I WOULDN’T TRADE THE LAST 38 MONTHS FOR ANYTHING. I HOPE I LEFT JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A MARK THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE EVERYONE, … FROM MY FAMILY TO THE CITY FAMILY AND FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE.” RUSTY BROCKMAN, FORMER NEW BRAUNFELS MAYOR
NEW BRAUNFELS A rezoning request to build a multifamily devel- opment on 92.4 acres was halted due to concerns of its proximity to the New Braunfels National Airport. The proposed development at 1280 Saengerhalle Road and 1682 Saur Lane includes 360 midrise multifam- ily housing units and 860 low-rise multifamily housing units, according to documents presented to City Council on May 8. The overview: The developer was requesting the land—zoned for agricultural use—be rezoned to R-3L and R-3H districts. R-3L districts allow for multifamily development at no more than 12 units per acre. R-3H districts allow for multifamily residences at no more than 24 units per acre. “Sta suggests consideration of
alternative districts ... that allow more exibility for uses, including commercial development,” New Braunfels Planning Manager Matthew Simmont said. The big picture: Residential develop- ment near an airport is almost always an incompatible land use, according to city ocials. Multiple residents in the area spoke in opposition due to road conditions and trac concerns. The action taken : Applicant James Ingalls requested the item be post- poned for the land owners to speak with airport ocials. “We have not been discussing the airport much at all,” Ingalls said. “We did receive some emails this afternoon where that was more of an elevated concern.”
BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD The proposed development would have been made up of 1,220 units in total on 92.4 acres.

ERCOT projects record demand for electricity this summer
BY HANNAH NORTON
hot outside, but the sun has set and winds begin to die down. “We will continue to use every tool available to keep the lights on and the AC running this summer,” said Peter Lake, chair of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, which regulates ERCOT. As a result, Texans could be asked to conserve energy or even face brownouts this summer. Brownouts typically occur when utility companies reduce the flow of electricity to certain areas to prevent a large-scale blackout. Lights may dim or flicker, but homes will still receive power. The report states, emergency con- ditions are possible when three things happen simultaneously: extreme heat; low renewable energy output; and widespread outages at dispatch- able power plants. Vegas said there is a less than 1% chance of this happening, but officials will communicate with Texans if voluntary conservation is recommended or the grid reaches emergency conditions.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Texans could experience brownouts due to record demand for power this summer, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas predicted. In a report released May 3, Texas’ power grid operator anticipated peak demand could reach 82,739 megawatts on the hottest days. Due to over two years of reforms following Winter Storm Uri, ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas said the power grid is “more reliable than ever.” But as Texas’ population continues to grow, officials said demand for electricity will begin to outpace the amount of available dispatchable power, which comes from sources such as natural gas and coal. This means Texas will need to rely on renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, to keep the lights on. Unlike dispatchable sources, energy regulators cannot always count on the sun and wind to be there. Vegas said the highest-risk periods for the grid will be after 9 p.m., when it remains
During the hottest days this summer, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas expects demand for electricity could surpass 82,000 megawatts. Peak demand in 2022 was 80,038 MW.
