New Braunfels Fire Department marks milestones with pair of events

It was a good weekend for the New Braunfels Fire Department. On Friday, firefighters, city staff and elected officials and residents gathered at the construction site on city-owned property on Water Lane for the department’s future Fire Station No. 2 for a topping -out ceremony, which included an opportunity to sign the final roof beam before it was placed on the building.

New Braunfels aims to realign terms for boards and commissions

New Braunfels city leaders are looking into realigning the terms of the city’s boards and commissions so appointments would occur only twice yearly — in the fall or spring. The city now maintains 31 boards and commissions. Each board and commission have term dates, term lengths and requirements for eligibility unique to the creating ordinance, state law or by-laws of the body. City Secretary Caitlin Krobot told New Braunfels City Council members on Monday that her office brings board and commission appointments for city council consideration every month of the year except June and July. “This process oftentimes can be confusing to the community about when we’re appointing folks, when do the terms start,” Krobot said.

New Braunfels sets parking standards for efficiency, studio apartments

New Braunfels City Council members last week gave an initial OK to an ordinance defining efficiency and studio apartments and identifying vehicle parking standards for those types of housing units. Jean Drew, the city’s assistant planning director, told council members city staff had identified a need to determine an appropriate parking standard for efficiency and studio apartments that consist of one common room for living, with a separate room allowed only for the bathroom. “Over the course of the past several years, we’ve had several projects come before us in pre-development meetings with an interest in efficiency apartments, including new build apartments and reuse of existing structures, addressing both a nationwide trend and the need for one-family housing,” Drew said.

New Braunfels and Comal County parks facilities open through holiday weekend

Independence Day falls on a Sunday and celebrated Monday this year, and it’s a sure bet many New Braunfels and Comal County residents will toss in Friday for a four-day holiday weekend. The area will truly experience a new sense of freedom this July 4th period — exactly one year since the height of COVID-19 and executive orders began mandating protective face coverings in most private and public areas throughout Texas. Social distancing didn’t subdue attendance at county and city parks last year, and all will be open throughout the weekend. City and county offices and businesses will be closed Monday, but many other venues will have amended hours.
