Ms. Gandy informed the Commission that seventeen (17) notices were sent to property owners within 200 feet.

A letter in opposition was also received at tonight's meeting from John Dyer. Steve Gee, G. Development, applicant, informed the Commission that they are proposing 28 single family lots on approximately 20 acres with a 2.4 acre park and lake. Mr. Gee stated that most of the 2.4 acre park would be open space with a playground. Mr. Gee commented that the trees would be surveyed, and they do not plan to lose any due to development. P & Z Meeting Minutes January 23, 1992 Page 2 Mr. Gee also stated that they have provided for limited lots to be near Rick Stacy's property line. Mr. Gee commented that the entrance into their proposed subdivision off FM 1709 is planned to mirror that of the Timber Lake Subdivision. Brad Meyer, Carter & Burgess, engineers for the applicant, stated that the pond would serve as a detention pond for run -off. Mr. Meyer stated that they plan for the flow from the lake to be maintained at the same flow rate after development as it is now. They plan to clean, dredge out, and provide a piped outfall structure with the pond. Run -off from northeast, east area would be handled by a culvert under the road to the pond. Public Hearing: Roy Stacy, 320 N. Shady Oaks, is opposed to the zoning change request because of drainage problems produced by more concrete and roof tops. Roy Stacy stated that there is no way to contain the run -off. He commented that Arvida has tried retention ponds and they can not hold all the water generated by their subdivision. Mr. Stacy also commented that this is a low density planned area according to the City Master Plan, and this is not a low density proposed subdivision. Joe Gregory, is opposed to the zoning change request because of the drainage problems. Mr. Gregory stated that the retention ponds in Arvida do not work. His property is constantly flooded, and his bar ditch is never dry. Randy Stacy, 300 N. Shady Oaks, is opposed to the zoning change request because of the drainage problems. Mr. Stacy stated that all three ponds including the one on this property have been at capacity for the last five (5) months. He also commented that this is planned as a low density area. Mr. Stacy brought up that the City park ballfields on White Chapel stay flooded now because of the new Oak Hills Subdivision. Diane Stacy, 1000 W. Southlake Blvd., is opposed to the zoning request. She stated that the back part of her property is a rice patty and this is not a low density plan. Rick Stacy, 1000 W. Southlake, Blvd., is opposed to the zoning request. Mr. Stacy stated that drainage is a major concern. He believes the drainage needs to go underground. Most important to Mr. Stacy is that the proposed project does not meet the low density master plan. John Dyer, 550 Ginger Ct., is opposed to the zoning request. Mr. Dyer stated that a lot of promises were made by Arvida to regulate the water. He stated that he can not see an improvement from Arvida, and it would not be smart to approve this project until we realize what went wrong with Arvida. Dana Lawless, Ginger Ct., is opposed to the zoning request because it does not meet the low density plan and will cause massive drainage problems. P & Z Meeting Minutes January 23, 1992 Page 3 Gail Gregory, stated that she doesn't care what the studies say, the retention ponds do not work and she is "living proof." Ms. Gregory stated that the smallest amount of rain flows across her drive and for several hours afterwards, and she believes this project will compound the problem. Meryl Stacy, 320 Shady Oaks, is opposed to the zoning request because it does not meet the low density requirement. Ms. Stacy stated that they were led to believe the area would be developed as one acre. The Public Hearing was closed. Commissioner Wright commented that a couple of problems that exist out there are due to (1) Ginger Creek developers never made the drainage channel improvements in Ginger Creek as they had originally planned; and (2) The box culvert under FM 1709 is not adequate to serve the water that comes through the creek. Some of the problems were not caused by Arvida. Mr. Wright commented that he felt the Commission did not have enough information about the drainage problems to address this zoning request. Mr. Wright suggested that the developer and his engineers meet with the City staff, get with Joe Gregory's engineer to gather more information. Commissioner Tate questioned staff whether or not they were aware of what Arvida was doing on Rick Stacy's property. City Planner, Greg Last, stated that he was unaware of any arrangements made between Arvida and Mr. Stacy. Steve Gee expressed that they would be happy to meet with staff and discuss the drainage issues. Mr. Gee requested the Commission table this item until the drainage issue could be addressed. Commissioner McGrath stated that he believes that whoever develops a piece of property should take care of the water they create. He believes the water should be drained down street "A" out to FM 1709. Mr. Wright noted that this would be difficult due to grades required for the street. Diane Stacy commented (from the audience) that Ginger Court had the plans approved by the City and didn't follow -up on it so that created a problem; Arvida had a plan approved by the City and didn't follow -up on it so that created a problem; and Arvida came to us and said to us that the "City has approved this plan going through your property; this is what we want to do; is this alright ?" She questioned where the follow up is and where is their assurance. Commissioner Wright explained that today the City's engineering staff and the inspector are full time, and they check and see that those plans are followed. P & Z Meeting Minutes January 23, 1992 Page 4 Commissioner McGrath expressed that we have to be aware that this is happening everywhere. We have had an unusual amount of rain in the last 3 years. Motion was made to table ZA 91 -76 and continue the Public Hearing time certain February 6, 1992, and request staff to do a thorough study of water both from Arvida and this proposed development and its impact; find out what is going on behind Rick Stacy's property and how it effects Ginger Court, as well as the impact on the south side of 1709; and also have the developers work on their property and work with the adjoining properties as necessary to make sure the engineers show the full impact.
