Chair Brashear opened the Public Hearing.
Christina Attoun stated Williams Dr is becoming more and more like Burnet Rd. and there appears to
be no mechanism to check on what is being developed. The city is not making informed decisions.
Scott Allen stated he agrees with Ms. Attoun s comment. He stated there is only entrance and exit to
Deer Haven Subdivision. City needs to review the zoning next to residential subdivision. The potential
Car wash being built on Williams is not the vision he was informed by the developer and, in his
opinion, will have a negative impact on the residential development due to noise, bright lights and
water demand. Need to review the impact on the environment.
Chair Brashear closed the Public Hearing.

proposed. Seconded by Commissioner McCord. Approved. (4-0) Commissioners Bargainer, Stewart,
