Comments and concerns voiced included:
The impervious cover is over the Edwards aquifer
Homes in Raintree and University Park already have runoff flooding problems
Quail Valley will be more likely to flood
Councilmember Jonrowe asked for the role of the City in determining flooding problems. Nelson explained
that engineers study this in depth. She explained that a TCEQ stormwater permit is required for the
subdivision and the City reviews impervious cover and retention. Councilmember Gonzalez asked if a
retention pond would be helpful. Nelson said she will follow up with the applicant and engineer and report
back.
The applicant, Jimmy Griffith of Griffith Consulting, spoke on the project. He said the intention would be for

improved and University Park has already been improved.

Council has requested more commercial development. Nelson said staff looks at mixed use. She explained
that University & Inner Loop and Southwest and Inner Loop will accommodate commercial development.
Councilmember Brainard asked if the main route to the development is Southwestern Blvd. Nelson said there
are multiple routes, even though Southwestern will be a main thoroughfare. Nelson showed and described the
different connections. Councilmember Brainard said that stub outs are not good for adjacent neighborhoods.

on the second reading.
Mayor Ross said more information will be provided at the second reading. Brainard he does not want
development to be at the expense of the neighbors. Councilmember Gipson said he agrees, but eliminating

Mayor Ross closed the public hearing at 6.55 PM.
