Comments, Questions, and Concerns:
C: Reiterating concerns about flooding and drainage, want one plus acre lots, concerns about
construction traffic, Cross Timber Hills neighbors are concerned about what happens at Wood
Creek.
Q: The tree issues are a big concern for all of us, how are those going to be registered? Is it the
drip line? Is it the Circumference? All of those kinds?
ĞǀŝŽ ĞůŽƉĞĚ
A: So, the city policy is sort of switched, we have to survey anything greater than 6-inches. Then

are greater than 6-LQFKHV EXW ZH¶UH MXVW QRZ EHJLQQLQJ WKH FDQRS\ ZRUN
Q: Are you considering an entrance into your property off of Peytonville or Wood Creek?
A: When I initially came up here with the survey, there is an access easement right here (below
the Post Oak Trail cul-de-sac). When I came to the city, I wondered why the city put an access

they were for or against it. They were just giving me feedback on number of lots and acreage. I

protect its residents from flooding from all of the future developments. I get to see what has
happened because of all that water not being mitigated and the speed of that water not being
mitigated as we divide the property into smaller lots. I do like that you have decreased two lots in
the original plan and are certainly listening and I appreciate that. Not just you guys, but the city
needs to address the water problem that created in our neighborhoods.

A: They are 2-acre lots with one acre being developable and the other acre in the flood plain.
Q: We have a lot of water problems that come through our neighborhood and that is the biggest
one right there (Floodplain). That is a big drainage ditch.

happen during a rainstorm, there could be some impact.
C: Backing up, the Wood Creek entrance is not a favorable thing for our neighborhood.
Q: I would like to second what she said about Wood Creek. I would like to see another proposal
and also understand what you want to do at Wood Creek as far as advertise your neighborhood
there. The concern is that we have a lot of elderly/disabled people there that walk up and down
that cul-de-sac very undisturbed and I think this would impact their lives in a very negative way.
Every neighborhood that has been built there has not had to impede into another neighborhood.
A: Agreed.
Q: I live on Wood Brick, which intersects Wood Creek. For Clarity purposes, are you saying that

A: Yes.
Q: That easement is street wide?
A: Yes.
C: Reiterating concerns about traffic, elderly, and no sidewalks on Wood Creek.
Q: Overall, I like the plan. I like the way it looks. I was worried about the traffic, but I only see five
homes, and I am counting 20 cars a day in and out too. Will walkers have access to walk down
Wood Creek and take advantage of that common area.
A: Yes. We are trying to keep the place green and open it up.
C: Reiterates water drainage concerns.
Q: I want clarity that you will not use Post Oak for construction vehicles and that construction
vehicles will come through Peytonville?
A: Yes, the only time there would potentially be a construction vehicle would be to access this

C: Voicing concerns over drainage and wants there to be an agreement between the neighbors
and the developers/city to fix these issues. Concerns over tree preservation, specifically, losing
Post Oak Trees due to excess water runoff. Asking for an increase in setbacks to buffer some of
the homes that will be adjacent to Post Oak Trail Neighborhood. Wants there to be a good balance

C: Voices support a potential retention pond at the entrance of the James Place Street where Lot
1 or Lot 10 is to help with the drainage. What are your plans for the number of builders?
A: We are undecided as of right now, but different builders have approached us. We are unsure
of how many lots specifically we will build, but we will have certain building standards that will
need to be followed.

different in the next. Fencing and building materials will also be restricted.
Q: Is the fence that you guys described on Peytonville, is it going to go all the way around the
property?
A: This would just be on the entrances. The plan would be to follow Peytonville all the way down
sort of what Mr. James had before. We are not going to run it through the property or behind the
houses.

C: Reiterating concerns of extending Wood Creek for the development as the streets are narrow
and are a cause for safety concerns in the area.
C: Voices more concern over drainage and wants a commitment from the developer to help solve
this issue so that the residents can help them with their development.
A: I will give you a commitment if you give us a little bit of time so we have more information, \¶all's
input, the city's input so we can come up with what the plan is, and then we will commit to that
plan.
Q: Is there going to be an HOA to manage the common area?
