3. PUBLIC HEARING - Zoning Change Request from AG (agricultural) to R-30 (single
family res., min. lot size 30,000 s.f.), 7.61 acres out of the George W. Teeter Survey,
Abstract 1543, Tract 2A6; OWNER: Nancy Saunders; APPLICANT: Tom Miller (West end
of Oak Knoll Dr.) Case Z-98-008
Staff presented the case to the Commission. Discussion ensued about access to the
undeveloped tract of land to the north which would become land-locked and about water patterns
and drainage from the property.
Chairman Lebo opened the public hearing. Those present wishing to speak were:
Tom Miller, applicant, 5604 Oak Top, presented his request to the Commission.
David Finney, an attorney representing Mrs. J. D. Biles, who is the owner of the property to the
north which would become land-locked if this property were to develop. He stated that right-of-
way issues need to be resolved prior to the rezoning of the property and they object to the zoning
change.
Jerry Birkes, 1301 Ashford Court, representing The Lakes of Somerset Homeowners Association.
He stated that the zoning change meets with the approval of the association. However, they have
concerns about the drainage of the property and had questions about the future development of
the lots to the north.
Scott Foreman, 1413 Oak Knoll, had concerns about water as the water drains south and to the
east and his property impacted.
L. N. Hunycutt, 4500 Stafford, does not want any accessability from this property back out onto
Glade Road as he would experience more through traffic on Stafford. Also, water drains from his
property onto this property and does not want the proposed development to raise the lots higher
than his lot.
Tom Crabtree, 4606 Stafford, had concerns about the future development of the land to the north
of this proposed addition.
Scott Phillips, 1501 Oak Knoll, had concerns about water. He said that Little Bear Creek is rising
higher and faster and he does not favor any more development in the area until improvements
to the creek are initiated.
John Jones, 4508 Stafford, had concerns about the disruption of the rural character of the
neighborhood. Most dwellings on Stafford are spaced 300' apart and he would like the integrity
of the neighborhood to be maintained.
John Sheerer, 1312 Alexandra Court, did not object to the proposed rezoning, but had concerns
about the watershed.

of-way for the property to the north be done before they allow any development of the area.
There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.

of the proposed development and would like an opinion from the City Attorney.
