With population growth and development reaching an unprecedented amount in recent years, the city of New Braunfels and New Braunfels Utilities have looked toward ways to keep up with capital improvement projects made necessary by the increased use of local roads and utilities. In 2020, 66.8% of the developable land in New Braunfels city limits had been built out; by 2025, the number is antic- ipated to reach 73.5%, according to the city. The increased development of the Hill Country region can be attributed to the rise in population as New Braunfels saw a 56.8% BY SIERRA MARTIN
increase in population from 2010-20, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. After an extensive study and review process, on Nov. 14 the New Braunfels City Council approved charging devel- opers the maximum allowable amount for CIPs, made necessary by new development by setting higher road- way, water and wastewater impact fees. “The impact fee is actually an assessment of new development to generate funding for improvements that are required by new developments,” said Garry Ford,

FROM ERIC: The city of New Braunfels is looking to charge developers the full cost of infrastructure for new developments; in the past, the city only charged a percentage of that cost for residential and nonresidential development. What e ect will that have on current and future development as the city grows? Reporter Sierra Martin explores the issue (see Pages 22-23). Eric Weilbacher, EDITOR

FEATURED IMPACT NOW OPEN A new local business o ering family- fun activities has opened in the community. Sip n Putt , a mini-golf course, opened at 7420 N. I-35, New Braunfels. Perched on the side of a hill with views of the Hill Country, the champion-style putting course has 18 holes and o ers three di culty levels. The business held its soft opening Jan. 13 and is o ering $15 adult games to customers with kids games half o . “It took a lot of work in land improvements alone, but just seeing the aesthetics and the walls and as we build into the landscape, it’s going to be a beautiful piece of property, and hopefully everybody can enjoy it,” owner Bret Shallenberger said. Only the putt-putt portion of the business is open to the public so far, but Shallenberger has big future plans for the property. Retro tted storage containers will house a large seasonal holiday display, spectator lounge and one of two bars called the Halfway Haus. A 100-foot waterfall is also in the process of being constructed, which will overlook a larger bar, a stage and a food truck area. The business also plans to add a kids miniature
golf course and a members-only cigar lounge and spa on the property. It took over a year of extensive planning and construction to build the course, and Shallenberger said he is happy with how it came together. He anticipates the rest of the property will be completed by the summer. “It’s very nice to see [the mini-golf course] done,” Shallenberger said. “But really better than that is seeing people’s reaction, it sounds like a golf tournament going on up here at night with people hooting and hollering and having fun, and everybody’s digging it. That’s better than anything else I could expect.” 830-358-7118 www.sipnputt.com

TRANSPORTATION UPDATES
ONGOING PROJECTS Online map will help navigate $871M in NBU projects over 5 years New Braunfels Utilities launched a Traf- c Impacts Map geographic informa- tion system Jan. 13 that highlights road construction events due to utility work, including lane, intersection and road closures that may impact travel routes. The Tra c Impact Map can be found at www.nbutexas.com/current-construc- tion-impacts-and-road-closures. Those utilizing it can access details about closures and the capital im- provement projects under construc- tion, the project’s bene ts, budget amounts and when the project is anticipated to be completed. NBU plans to invest more than $871 million into 153 projects over the next ve years. According to the utility, the capital improvement projects are designed to provide the New Braunfels community with safe and resilient electric, water and wastewater services. “Committed to the NBU vision of being a trusted community partner dedicated to excellence in service, our sta con- tinuously works to maintain, repair, and enhance infrastructure to ensure future generations enjoy reliable and resilient services,” said Melissa C. Krause, NBU’s chief strategic communications and security o cer. NBU said it is committed to providing timely and important information to the community, and the new Tra c Impact Map is another example of delivering on this commitment. “These necessary improvements have the potential to create numerous road impacts. The new online tool is designed to bene t our community and beyond, to see the road impacts and understand the ‘why’ behind the closures,” Krause said.

GATEWAY TO GRUENE APARTMENTS
ISTANA AT GRUENE STATION A 264-unit apartment complex is being constructed at the northwest intersection of FM 306 and Hunter Road. The 13.1-acre project site is part of a 70-acre mixed-use master plan that includes commercial development on the roadside area of the property, according to the Istana Group, a division of San Antonio-based Alfra Developers. Around 21.6 acres have been reserved for duplex residential development, and 14 acres will be dedicated to single-family residential property. A 7-acre detention pond next to FM 306 near the MK&T Railroad track and multiple new streets will be part of the development, totaling more than 10 acres of streets alone, according to the developer. The project will total 15 three-story apartment buildings totaling 241,931 square feet all together. Individual apartments will range from 600-965 square feet in studio, and one- and two-bedroom con gurations. There will also be a 4-acre parcel at the front of the FM 306 and Hunter Road intersection dedicated to commercial development. Space: 264 units Timeline: To be determined
THE MERCER Construction is near the halfway point on The Mercer, a project of local developer GBMC, LLC in New Braunfels. Located in Freiheit Village, The Mercer features both single-level and live/work-inspired storefront units ranging from 680-1,283 square feet. The storefront units will be located on the ground oor of the apartment complex and designed to have an o ce or retail space in one portion of the residence with a separate living space. Some of the amenities include a resort-style pool with a sun shelf, a covered lounge, outdoor bar and grills, guest parking and an o -leash dog park. None of the units were set to be leased, and The Mercer sold out of all of units within three weeks of opening units up for sale in July, according to the developer. Other recently built condominium complexes by GBMC include Agave Lofts and Yaupon by Agave on North Academy Avenue in the Town Creek neighborhood in central New Braunfels. The rest of Town Creek comprises master-planned townhomes and single-family homes. Space: 42 units Timeline: summer 2022-winter 2023
Construction resumed in December at the Gateway to Gruene Apartments after the city of New Braunfels issued a stop work order for a contractor exceeding the scope of a permit while digging a 9-foot detention pond and the issues the city had with the project were resolved, said David Morin, one of the managing partners from MNO Partners, the developer of the project. The luxury apartment units, located in the 2400 block of Common Street on the western side of the street closest to Gruene Historic District, will range from 575-1400 square feet and include studio, and one-, two- and three-bedroom oor plans. When completed, the community will feature a resort-style pool, a state-of-the-art tness center and a dog park bar among other amenities, according to MNO Partners. Morin said the apartments are a ve minute walk to Gruene Historic District, and walkability is part of MNO Partners’ goals in choosing development sites. Morin said there will be 13 buildings in all on the site, o ering a mix of two-story apartments and two-story townhome buildings. Rent prices range from $1,300-$2,300 per month.

PREPARING THE BOND With the help of the Comal Forward Committee, prioritized projects in the school district have been determined and are anticipated to be on the ballot for voters to approve in May. The bond totaling $608.26 million will not cause an increase to the tax rate.
BY SIERRA MARTIN
COMAL ISD The proposed May bond for Comal ISD is focused on future growth with additional schools, land acquisition and technology among the proposed proposi- tions voters may see on the ballot this spring. The update to the proposed bond was provided to the board of trustees during a Jan. 26 meeting. The Comal Forward Committee, which makes a rec- ommendation on bond project findings, surveyed 300 potential voters to measure initial levels of support for individual bond propositions and to test ballot language. The survey also measured support for bond amounts and their effect on tax rates. Of those polled, 29% were parents with students enrolled in Comal ISD and 71% without students. They also received presentations from various departments throughout the district. In the proposed 2023 bond, Proposition A may total over $557 million and consist of three new elementary schools and one middle school to provide relief to other campuses reaching student capacity; funding would also go toward land acquisition to anticipate future campus needs for one new elementary, one new middle and one new high school. Proposition B, totaling just over $10 million, may consist of additional improvements to athletic facilities throughout the high schools in the district. Proposition C would fund technology equipment throughout the district, including

A majority of the respondents supported $600 million in bonds, knowing they would be financed without an increase in the property tax rate. The recommended May bond amount presented to board is $608.26 million and will not cause an increase in the local tax rate.

from New Braunfels Middle School, NBISD Chief of Secondary Schools Ingia Saxton said. The class of eighth-grade students attending New Braunfels Middle School will be the first graduating class from LCHS. That campus is serving as a ninth-grade center. “There’s lots of shades that you can choose from, but we really have
to be able to tailor it down,” Saxton said. “One of the things we did was we reached out to our vendor, and basically, with the current vendor that we have, with the shades of blue that we’re able to get [for] uniforms, and uniforms in football, volleyball, all of our competitive uniforms in, there are really two other options aside from what we currently have.”
NEW BRAUNFELS ISD The New Braunfels ISD board of trustees voted unanimously Jan. 9 on one of two school colors for the forthcoming second high school in the district, Long Creek High School.

New Braunfels grants funding to local arts and heritage organizations NEW BRAUNFELS The city approved the allo- cation of over $700,000 in grant awards from hotel occupancy tax funds to various arts and heritage BY SIERRA MARTIN Carter said the grant funding process could be improved by holding a meeting before the arts commission presents its recommendations to council and to advertise the grants more to obtain more potential applicants. FUNDING THE ARTS By utilizing a portion of the hotel occupancy tax fund, the city of New Braunfels was able to provide over $700,000 in grant funding to the New Braunfels Heritage and Arts commissions.
organizations during a Jan. 9 regular meeting. “Every year New Braunfels awards 15% of the previous year’s hotel occupancy tax collection, which is split 50/50 between the arts and heritage groups,” said Gayle Wilkinson, secretary for the city of New Braunfels. “The arts and heritage com- missioners meet, and they allocate grant funds to applicants based on applications.” Applicants went through a three-step process that launched Sept. 1 and included a review of guidelines, application and budget forms, and sub- mitting the application online. Applications closed Oct. 31, when members of the Arts and Heritage commissions were given three months to score applicants based on a predetermined matrix. “The matrix that we have is each board member rates everybody according to how they fulfill the requirements of the application, and based on that it comes up with a score that’s an average,” New Braunfels Arts Commissioner Crystal Carter said. “And we use that to allocate as much as we can based on a percentage of how much money we have.”
Around $994,000 was requested from the arts commission, and about $390,000 was allocated to 10 applicants, including the American Dance Com- pany, The Brauntex Theatre, Circle Arts Theatre and The Greater New Braunfels Arts Council. Around $340,000 was granted by the heritage commission to five organizations, including the Heritage Society of New Braunfels, the New Braunfels Conservation Society, and The Sophienburg Memorial Association. The commission was able to grant full funding to the applicants, and it has a surplus amount of around $56,000 that will be reallocated to next year’s fund, according to Wilkinson. Council members authorized the next steps in distributing the funding, which consists of execut- ing contracts with the organizations. Applications for the grants from either commis- sion were made available on the city secretary’s office website from Sept. 1-Oct. 31 for the hotel occupancy tax grants, and a similar time frame will be made available in 2023.
