378 Mr. Brandon Chaney, engineer for the developer, was present confirming that Mr. Moore has engaged his firm to provide an engineering site design for his property on 34th Street N. E. Mr. Chaney said he compiled a drainage study to determine what the impact to drainage runoff for each project would be. Mr. Chaney said he had determined from the City of Paris drainage plan that the ten year flow for this waterway is approximately 490 cubic feet per second. The estimated impact for the commercial area increase in waterway flow equals 0.6% and the residential area would be the same percentage rate. Mr. Chaney said in his opinion, it would have a negative impact and would not require a retention pond. Mayor Neeley called for opponents to appear, and Mary Montgomery, 1570 34th Street N. E., came forward stating that she does not have any objections to the single family dwellings and wanted to know why Mr. Moore does not run the housing east and west because if they are located on 34th Street N. E., there will still be a parking problem with people parking on the street. Ms. Montgomery said she had walked over this property last week, and to her it is a swamp, but if Mr. Moore can take care of the water problem, she did not feel the neighborhood had any objections to the single family dwellings. Ms. Montgomery said she did object to the storage and RV buildings. Jackie Wood, 3415 Vagas Drive, came forward passing out a map of the area to the City Council, pointing out 34th Street N. E. and stating that it is a high traffic area. Ms. Wood said the area she lives in is North Park Addition and it has eighty -six single family homes, five duplexes, and one government house. Ms. Wood stated that if you figure two cars per residence on the number she has just quoted, there would be 202 cars that must enter the section of 35th Street N. E. directly across from Mr. Moore's property. Ms. Wood pointed out that Mr. Moore would only have one entryway off of 34th Street N. E. Ms. Wood said she objects to the Commercial zoning with access from 34th Street N. E. Mack Ross advised the City Council that the Texas Department of Transportation has let a contract to redo Loop 286 from Highway 271 North to Highway 271 South. Mr. Ross said they were going to solve the problem at Kennedy Ford. They are going to make that a wider turn entry and exit. Mr. Ross asked the City Council to help them to get an acceleration lane going west if the property owners would sign a petition and the City of Paris would write an encouraging letter to the Texas Department of Transportation asking for the acceleration lane. Mr. Ross said the engineers with the Texas Department of Transportation said this could be done if enough people ask for it. Cynthia Rhodes, 1140 36th Street N. E., appeared before the City Council stating that
