the effect of removing the dedication requirement for Lot 10. In order to achieve this request, City Staff initiated a 2nd agenda item on property owned by Terry and Sandra Fitzgerald. This would be necessary to maintain the route continuity for the future arterial street contained in the plan. Their attorney contacted me to express not only their strong objection to the change, but also the plan affecting their property in its entirety. The Development Staff Team believes this classification, as shown on the `Delete All' plan between FM 195 and Lamar Avenue (TH 82), is unrealistic as drawn (see attached exhibit). Staff believes the origin of this segment of the plan pre -dates the majority of development in this portion of the city over the past 30+ years. Although Mr. Whitaker was required to apply for the amendment, Staff strongly recommends that this entire segment be temporarily removed in its entirety (the `Delete All' option). This would afford plenty of additional time for the City to study this portion of the future extension of the arterial out into the future growth area of the Northwest portion of the City to accommodate new development over time. An update could then be brought forward once a more suitable plan can be prepared with reasonable accommodation and respect to both developed and undeveloped properties. It was recommended that the Planning & Zoning Commission consider the 3 below Staff recommendation options for this project: 1. Deny the requested changes. 2. Accept withdraw of the applications. 3. Table action on the applications. City Staff recommended option 3 and the P&Z tabled action until the November 7 P&Z meeting. It is recommended that the City Council not open the hearing on these agenda items, but rather approve a motion passing over these agenda items and tabling action until its Novemberl4, 2022 meeting.
