He <br />spoke on traffic and plans to complete the buildout and this will create <br />deacceleration and acceleration lanes at intersection of Old RR12 and Wonder <br />World, those plans are to be done all at one time. They will continue to work <br />with TxDOT and the City to improve the entire intersection. <br />Roland Saucedo, supports this request, likes what they have done so far and <br />the contributions to the community, for example, sponsoring the Mermaid <br />Society. Not only developing in our community but also giving back to the <br />community. He thanked them for addressing the concerns of traffic. This <br />increases housing stock, perhaps there is some kind of opportunity that some <br />of these houses can reach our affordable housing working demographics. <br />There being no further comments, the Mayor closed the Public Hearing at 6:35 <br />p.m. <br />A motion was made by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Rockeymoore, seconded by <br />Mayor Pro Tem Mihalkanin, to approve Ordinance 2020-06, on first of two <br />readings.
