Scott McGeHee, 624 Pioneer Trail, addressed the Council regarding how 52 other home owners are upset about the Lazy Oaks Development. He stated that this development is going over the most sensitive area on Ranch Road 12. He continued by stating that he believed traffic will increase by 6000 vehicles and that can't be safe. Lazy Oaks as it sits right now is not a good idea. Jaimy Breihan, 134 E. Hillcrest, addressed the Council regarding the Lazy Oaks project and the additional wastewater capacity that will be needed, and that it is in a very sensitive area. He stated that he was bothered by the vesting requirement in the agreement. Lila Knight, 1701 N Burleson, Kyle, TX, addressed the Council regarding the floods of 1970 and 1998. Purgatory creek provides a significant risk to the west side of San Marcos. She continued by explaining how the damming system works. She stated that two dams work in unison; dam 4 holds back water on Lazy Oaks Ranch. If number 5 fails due to the increased runoff due to the increased impervious surface then it would be devastating. The hydrology will be changed with development in that area. Dianne Wassenich, 11 Tanglewood, addressed the Council to steer development to appropriate areas of San Marcos. Development should not be occurring in this sensitive recharge zone. There are always leaks in the wastewater lines, you read about it all the time in SA. Ask for special safety precautions on lines like this along the recharge zone. The Comp Plan will have their water quality reports back soon and asked the Council to wait and review those and review the science prior to making a decision on this development. Mike Bansity, Pioneer Trail, addressed the Council regarding the Lazy Oaks development agreement and stated that nothing good could come from this and the increase of population out there in this area. He stated that he is concerned with the destruction of the Texas Hill country. Anita Fuller, 1951 Hunter Rd, addressed the Lazy Oaks development agreement asking that the Council approve this agreement. For too long this community has cried out for more single family development and no more multifamily development. The City should want this type of development of homes in this area, and asked that the Council consider this agreement and work out the issues and reach compromises.
