Will Conley, Hays County Commissioner, complimented the Council adopting the Engineers Context Sensitive Solutions Manual which has been adopted by the federal highways department and by many states across the union for safety, mobility and quality of life. If will of the Council is to remove the loop from the plan, he concurs. The Wonder World extension made the current alignment obsolete. He reported that over the next 30 months, the County will start their transportation master planning process, and he is supportive of removing that section from the plan. He opposes locating that highway onto McCarty Lane. He is personally responsible as a road commissioner. He recommends striking it from the plan, re- evaluate it over the next few months, reflecting on our accomplishments, and work with partners to the south on future alignments.

Zygmunt Maksymowicz, 3101 Oak Ledge, objected to plans moving Loop 110 onto West McCarty road. It would create disfunctionality to existing services and personal property. He asked the Council, as they look at additional opportunities, to please consider those that live in area and consider the impact on their domain. James Frugoni, 3101 Oak Parkway, asked how they can potentially move the Loop road to McCarty - from an undeveloped area to a developed area. He reported that he didn't see much public notice of the proposed changes. Blaine Eibon, 3001 Oak Lodge, reported that the public notice in the paper only said there were changes to the master transportation plan. Nothing was said about this road being forced on the property owners. He stated his opposition to moving 110 from the existing site to McCarty Road. The current plan was made several years before Carma purchased their land. They should have known of the road alignment. If 110 is built as it is on the plan, not one homeowner will move their property. If the alignment is moved, all will lose a significant chunk of land; 100' strips of land will be given up to accommodate this. It needs to be where it was originally intended if it is built. Then, not a single homeowner will lose property. Lino Bailey, 3050 Oak Lodge, did not speak. Chris and Zenaida Marquez, 3001 Oak Parkway, provided written comments, attached. Jack Ulbright, 150 Sunset Ridge, provided written comments, attached. Jeanette Ulbright, 1500 Sunset Ridge, provided written comments, attached. Shannon Brotherton, 1450 Sunset Ridge, said she is opposed to the relocation of 110. She would like to see it remain as it was originally proposed. She reported that her entire property is located on the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. She is concerned with runoff and habitat preservation. There is a cave on her property that is a significant recharge feature and home to endangered RM080310 Minutes Page 8
