377 • Development. He stated that he would like to build storage buildings and open RV storage on the back one acre lot off of 34th N. E. Street. Mr. Moore pointed out that the property is located between a Commercial District and a Residential District and would serve as a buffer between the residential area and the commercial area. Mr. Moore said he hired Chaney Engineering to conduct a surface water runoff and impact study which shows 0.6% increase in waterway flow for each project. Mr. Moore also pointed out that with Farm to Market Road 195, the Brownwood Addition, the Elk's Lodge and all of the other properties in that area being a busy as they are, that his* project will add little to the traffic. Mr. Moore said the real issue is value for the property owners in the area and what he would like to see is that his project does not hurt the values of the other property owners. Mr. Moore told the City Council that he would agree to Single - Family zoning with the same deed restrictions as across the street from his property. His understanding of the deed restrictions are 1600 square foot living, two car garage, and eighty percent brick and he was willing to put those restrictions on his property if the Council would pass the zoning for Single- Family Dwelling. Mr. Moore requested that he be allowed to address the City Council after opposition. Mack Ross, 3475 Reno Drive, appeared before the City Council stating that Mr. Moore is correct regarding the deed restrictions. Mr. Ross said that a 1400 square foot house was built across from his property and they tried to stop it but the deed restrictions could not stop it, so if Mr. Moore agrees to build 1600 square feet home, he has no objection to that. Another point Mr. Ross made is that just west of Discount Wheel on Loop 286 N. E., the crossover is not being used and most of the neighbors are about to agree to bring a 39 foot street in off of the Loop 286 N. E. behind Discount Wheel, Toyota, and lineup with Reno Drive, which is a 39 foot street. Mr. Ross said in the Master Plan, this street was supposed to serve the area to the east of Paris like Pine Mill Road. Pine Mill Road is-, a dangerous road with a high traffic count and some day they hope to get a road through there. Mr. Ross said that when he purchased his home 28 years ago, he knew he was buying on a collector street and knew someday there would be traffic on it, but that is progress. Mr. Ross requested that someone explain about the retention pond because he believes Mr. Moore does not need to do that and it has never been a requirement for someone like Mr. Moore to build a retention pond. Earl Smith, City Engineer, came forward telling the Council that based on the results of this public hearing and the collective wisdom of the City Council, that if they feel a retention pond is needed, Mr. Moore will have to have it installed. Mr. Smith said the ordinance does not specifically require a retention pond.
