Earl Studdard, 339 Hunters Trace, stated his concerns with drainage, adding that his back yard had been
destroyed three times.
David Whitaker, 39 Hunters Trail, said the proposed plan lacked dimension and detail. He noted that the
flooding problems experienced by the neighborhood stemmed from the construction of the extension of
Oak Run Parkway.
Danny Gribbon, 461 Hunters Trophy, said his concern was that the lift station would be located directly
behind his house.
Kim Muschalek, 323 Hunters Trace, questioned how the developer claimed a reduction in impervious
cover when the number of lots increased from 112 to 136. She said she had high water in her yard during
the June 9 1 h flood, which also flooded her septic system.
Motion by Commissioner Elrod, seconded by Commissioner Hoyt, to close the public hearing. The motion
carried unanimously. (9-0-0)
Ms. Mattingly reminded the Commissioners that most of the details, including drainage, flood plains, lot
widths, etc., would be addressed when the Detail Plan, Master Plan and subdivision plat were submitted
for approval.
Chair Casteel asked if the existing drainage pond would be reworked with the development. Mr. Eckland
said it would, then elaborated on the location and design of the lift station.
Commissioner Hoyt noted that studies had shown that narrower streets were safer because vehicles
were forced to drive slower.
Commissioner Bearden noted that the plan did not specifically state how many lots had widths of 15 ft.
Mr. Eckland believed there were no more than five lots with widths of 15 ft.
Motion by Commissioner Bearden, seconded by Commissioner Massouh, that Case PZ10-27, the

feet north of Loop 337, from "R-1A-8" Single Family District to "PDD" Planned Development District with a
Concept Plan , be forwarded to City Council with a recommendation to approve, with the following
requirements: 1) That Lots 29 through 42 and 52 through 66, must abide with the single story and
masonry requirements; 2) That streets with 30ft. pavement widths include a center line stripe; 3) Amend
the Concept Plan Summary Table to show 15' side setback along Westpointe Dr.; and 4) The percentage
of varying lot widths must be kept the same as shown on the Concept Plan. The motion carried, with
