City Council Meeting Minutes August 21,2018 <br /> will want an amended PDD as well and wonder why they can't get it and sue <br /> the City. I can live with Residential, but not this. <br /> Kama Davis, addressed the Council regarding the Lindsey Hill Project. She <br /> spoke in opposition because this is too dense of an area and stated this will <br /> create a domino affect if we approve the amended PDD. This would allow <br /> other developers to come in and request areas in neighborhoods. She stated <br /> that there a number of streets closer than Lindsey Street and feels this project <br /> will be expanded. She passed around a map to Council with this information. <br /> Many of these properties are owned by low to middle income families,do we <br /> really want to lose these in our community? Please do not allow the property <br /> to be rezoned, this will set a precedent for other neighborhoods. <br /> Sue Cohen,addressed the Council regarding the Lindsey Hill Project and <br /> expressed her excitement about the prospect of something happening on this <br /> property. She spoke in favor of this development and how she was immediately <br /> surprised by the negative reaction from her neighbors. She stated that just <br /> down the street from her there are numerous multifamily units,including <br /> bungalows, duplexes,garage apartments,and AirBnB properties within a few <br /> blocks of her home and this reflects the goals of Vision San Marcos. We are <br /> within walking distance to downtown and several other amenities and this <br /> encourages us to support our downtown.The residents on San Antonio Street <br /> are not afraid of this change in the district because it has already occurred in <br /> their area.The Historical Neighborhoods are protected by the City's Historic <br /> District overlays and if changes are made they must be approved by the <br /> Historical Preservation Commission and abide by other City processes. Others <br /> in opposition noted the historical significance of the Lamar School. She <br /> explained there are two types of Historical Designation: The architectural value <br /> of a structure or a site marker noting historical significance of the site. <br /> Developers have agreed to mark and record the history of the Lamar School at <br /> the site.This is a great opportunity to maintain our quality of life,our <br /> neighborhoods, and achieve Economic growth. Please support this project. <br /> Tracy Mock,addressed the Council regarding the closure of Loquat Street. <br /> She wanted to go on the record of being supportive of the closure of the road. <br /> She stated that she had previously voted to keep it open, but that was before <br /> she had all the information and how it is better watershed. <br /> Lisa Marie Coppoletta,she provided a definition of trickery, and spoke of her <br /> opposition to the Lindsey Hill project. She feels this is the perfect solution for <br /> NO neighborhood and feels like this is pitting neighbors against neighbors it is <br /> City of Sen Memos Page 3 <br />
