Planning and Zoning Minutes December 5, 2005 Page 7 Motion was made to deny by Brad Archer, seconded by Russell McCain. Motion carried by a vote of 8 ayes and 0 nays. 14. Public hearing to consider the petition of Bobby Smallwood for a change in zoning from an Agricultural District (A) to a Planned Development District - Office Center (PD-t) on a 5.574 acre tract of land located to the east of Townwood Estates #1 at the east end of Levi Lane, which tract is part of a called 99.54 acre tract of land described in a deed to the Townwood Development Company, Inc. and recorded in Volume 511, Page 188 of the Real Property Records of Lamar County, Texas. Lisa Wright explained that the City Council referred this item back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for reconsideration to allow Mr. Smallwood time to meet with the developers to come up with an alternative access route to the property to reduce the impact on Levi Lane. The public hearing was declared open. Bobby Smallwood, 343 FM 2121, spoke in favor of the petition stating that he sold the property to doctors and they are wanting to put in offices. He advised that the new owners also owned a strip of land alongside Honda, but they did not wish to build an entrance there and planned to use Levi Lane as the access point to the development. Richard Culver, 1130 Levi Lane, spoke in opposition to the petition, stating that he does not want to be surrounded by business property. He is concerned about the impact on home values-the values are already depressed and this will further the depression. Glenn Goode, 1110 Levi Lane, spoke in opposition to the petition stating that he purchased his home 6 weeks ago. He knew that the movies and Chili's was already there. He moved from behind Aikin because of high traffic which is dangerous for small kids. .-'"T '.-T--'_.."-"'" ..,.....,---.,.........-..--.,-...----..-.....'..... .."--....,.,,,....,..-. ..'''-'-.---, ,.... ..,
