The request is to rezone the property to R2A zoning. The minimum home values proposed would be $140,000 to $150,000. Mr. Mattke gave a presentation on the drainage of the property. The develgper has been in contact with the Rice Creek Watershed District and they support the developer's concept. The proposal is to enlarge and deepen the wetland on the east edge of the property to accommodate storm water run-off. The ditch on the south boundary of the property would drain towards the west. The ditch is proposed to be located on the center of the property line between the parkview development and the north boundary of the Center Oaks development. The Center Oaks lots that would be affected would be resodded at developer's expense approximately 10' per lot. Orville Hughes, 1793 Cepter Street, asked how the drain~ge to his property would be affected. The developer responded that the drainage plan would not adversely affect his property. Mary Jo Helmbrecht, 1745 Main Street, asked if the ditch on the south side of the development could handle the run-off from this development and asked if the Public Works Director had commented on the tear drop design cu~-de-sacs. The developer respOnded that their calculations show that the ditch could be regraded to properly drain the development and that the Public Works Director had recommended the tear drop design be retained in the plat design. The homes in this development would have a 1,050 square foot minimum on the ground floor. The garages would be 2.5 stalls minimum. The developer would pave the trails prior to home construction if needed, but he would prefer to pave the trail the following year. Linda Broussard-Vickers asked the City Engineer for a recommendation on tree planting or a berm along Centerville Road. Mr. Carlson commented that he would like to plant some 16' to 18' Norway Pines along Centerville Road and stagger a row of these trees on a 20' basis. Mr. Carlson indicated that he would like to place a monument on the east side of Centerville Road near the entrance to this development. Discussion occurred on the need to loop the watermain for this proj act. The looping would be coordinated in the developer's agreement.

At this time the County has not commented on this sketch plan. Mary Jo Helmbrecht, 1745 Main Street, mentioned she has a concern with residential homes being blocked in by commercial.

Mr. Shoepe also had concerns regarding the safety of school children that walk to the elementary school. Mr. Shoepe is totally against the project and believes the outcry would be huge if Eagle Pass was fully developed. Mr. Shoepe suggested that maybe the Public Works site would be a more suitable location. John Buckbee indicated he has some concerns with spot zoning. He would encourage looking at a mixed use concept. Mary Jo Helmbrecht, 1745 Main Street, mentioned she liked the idea of a nice building coming into the downtown.
