(Seguin) — The Seguin City Council has officially taken action that helps to clear the way for a new residential development that will eventually bring 400 new homes to the city of Seguin. 
 
The council on Tuesday approved two items related to the Lily Springs subdivision, a Pulte Homes community along Highway 46 that will be built just north of Cordova Road.
 
The first item called for the council to approve the a parkland agreement with the developer. City Parks Director Jack Jones says the neighborhood did a great job putting together its plans for the neighborhood’s park space. 
 
“The difference with this development as compared to other developments, it used to be in the New Braunfels ETJ and there was a land swap a year ago or so and they were a voluntary annex into the city of Seguin. The bad news is that they were under the New Braunfels 2006 parks code. The good news is they are actually exceeding both codes, ours and theirs in regards to park development. They are supposed to do about 270,000 according to the New Braunfels code and our code is similar with the park development. But this plan is about $500,000 worth of park improvements so we are really excited about that,” said Jones.
