Ted Marchant, 200 Camaro Way, said he is disturbed that this was rubber stamped by Planning and Zoning so easily to move the Loop to McCarty. It is only because of last minute scrambling by the citizens, that the neighborhood was notified. He is happy that the City is not talking about moving to McCarty anymore. He told the Council to be wary of any developers that ask this. There is no concern for existing property owners. Denise Jenkins, McCarty Lane, said she is opposed because it would obliterate her house. There was not enough public notice. Many of their homes would be affected. She can't understand why they would want to change this. There are a lot of taxpayers on McCarty lane, but there was very little or inadequate notification. Steve Harvey, 1116 Mountain View, noted that Carma wants dollars for a private gated community and are also demanding we move Loop 110 to McCarty. The Transportation Board denied this request; the City Council disbanded the commission last year, and now they have come to staff. McCarty Lane property owners were not notified of a four -lane divided highway in front of their property. (Name not discernible) moved here for quality of life issues. Now his home is at risk. In Austin and Kyle, what you see is what you get. Now he has learned a highway could be built in his front yard, or the City could try to take the land by imminent domain. Carma does not want the road because it would make homes hard to sell. What about the homes on McCarty Lane? He told the Council we do not need to sacrifice quality of life and water for growth.
