Mayor Allen opened the Public Hearing at 6:55 p.m. The following individuals spoke on this item: Ms. Sherwood and her mother Ms. Hood spoke in opposition to the rezoning. Ms. Sherwood stated that quality of life matters and their subdivision was never intended to be commercial. We have drainage issues now and what will happen when property is turned into commercial. Who will pay the cost of flooding the homes in the area behind the commercial properties? Ms. Sherman also spoke on the roads that are already busy and with more commercial will bring additional traffic and congestion. They would like to see Cibolo grow but not in this area. Ms. Jennings spoke in opposition to the rezoning. She stated that her mom has lived in this area for a long time and would not be able to move. Ms. Dicarlo was opposed to the rezoning of the properties on Main Street and the property on Buffalo Trail. She opposed the rezoning due to increased taxes, depreciation of her home, noise, traffic, dust, trash, crime, and delivery trucks. Ms. Dicarlo stated that she cannot afford to move and wants to stay in her home. She wants her neighborhood to stay in a peaceful safe environment. Mr. Dicarlo also opposed the rezoning. He was fine with rezoning from the Bowling Alley on Main Street down to FM 78 as many of these homes have already been converted to commercial. He also spoke of the flooding issue and thought that commercial businesses would increase the flooding that already occurs in this neighborhood. His family is happy where they are and do not want to move. Ms. Latimer spoke on the rezoning and stated that the FEMA map extends to Apache Circle and Buffalo Trail. She also stated that the FLUM in 2016 had the Gilbert tract as commercial (HEB property) and the homes on Main Street as residential. Ms. Latimer said that but changing the Main Street homes to commercial you take away the peaceful life of the long-term residents of Cibolo. Ms. Wiley also spoke in opposition to the rezoning. She states that everyone just wants to live in peace. 04 C2 to Cl does not matter its greed just to make money. The homeowners knew when they bought their homes it was residential property. Ms. Wiley also spoke on flooding issues they already have in this area. All the neighborhood wants is to live in peace and quiet. We do not want any changes. Mr. McGlothin stated that he had met with some of the homeowners that live on Main Street. He said that many of those homes sell for 300,000 to 500,000 as residential property but as a commercial property they could get 750,000 or more which is huge and a life changing money for those homeowners. Mr. McGlothin also stated that they have a problem backing out on to Main Street due to the traffic. He also understood the homeowners that live behind the Main Street homes and how commercial would affect them. Ms. Fox made the statement that the life changing money for those on Main Street is just greed. She said that we elect you to council to help protect us. Cibolo has enough inventory of commercial property available. Mayor Allen closed the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. There were still a couple of individuals wanting to speak so Mayor Allen re -opened the public hearing at 7:34 p.m. Mr. Toliver stated that he was under contract for two of the homes on Main Street. He had a meeting across the street with neighbors adjacent to these properties and did not realize that it conflicted with the scheduled council meeting. Mr. Hood spoke on the rezoning to Cl and listed some of the types of businesses that could go into this area to include beauty salons, barber shops, drug stores, and restaurants.
