Keith Colter, 6917 Westcoat, stated that he did not receive notice as they purchased the property
after the tax rolls were printed. He requested that the Commission delay their decision as he
would like more time to evaluate the request. (Note from Secretary: I spoke with the Colters after
the meeting and informed them of the public hearings by City Council and I sent them background
information regarding the zoning change request.)
Becky Ferguson, 401 John McCain Road, opposed because of the impact of smaller lots in the

"H" of the Special Conditions relating to screening required along Westcoat Drive, by
David Bagwell. (East side of Westcoat Dr. - 6700 to 6800 block) Case Z-98-010
Staff presented the case to the Commission. Chairman Lebo opened the public hearing. Those
present wishing to speak were:
David Bagwell, applicant. He stated that the area adjacent to the setback is heavily wooded with
broadly rooted post oaks that are sensitive to construction. Prospective residents are wanting
screening for pools, privacy, and privacy. He said that his proposal is an effort to reconcile the
screening and the heavy tree cover. He proposes an evergreen screen of winter star camellias
which are winter hardy and will grow to eight feet in 2 to 3 years. Building a stone wall would be
disastrous to the post oaks as he would have to drill piers and add lime to the cement. Mr.
Bagwell proposes to build a high quality fence which would eventually be hidden by the camellias.
AI Zim, 7209 John McCain, stated that the screening wall along the north side of the property is
an eye-sore. He stated that the greenery should take the place of a fence and that he has done
major construction on his property and has not lost any trees.
There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
