Ms. Zimmermann opened the public hearing at 6:48 p.m. The following individuals spoke at this public hearing. Donald Schaezler states he shares the fence line and opposes this rezoning as it would put more stress on the bird sanctuary. He also stated there could be increased damage because of run-off. Susan Schaezler shares the same fence line. There are many endangered species on their property and this zoning would affect the sanctuary. Anna Miraz opposes the rezoning. They have a peaceful area, and the traffic is already very bad on FM 1103. Todd Friesenhahn stated Foxbrook Way to direct cars to FM 1103 would be a disaster. His mom's property already has drainage issues. Leave the zoning at C-1. Rachael Tets stated that traffic is already terrible, and schools are overcrowded. Christi Edison states that her kids can play in the front yard and views are amazing. She would not want to lose this. Traffic would also increase. Jackie Baer states she understands the traffic on FM 1103. She also states that these homes would give the elderly a place to live or people visiting the area a place to stay for an extended time. Juan Perez says the developer states that they want to be a good neighbor. He wanted to know why the city can't buy the property and turn it into a park or give the property to the bird sanctuary. Renter properties next to $500,000 homes makes no sense. Scott Springer stated this area is residential put commercial makes more sense. Ms. Zimmermann closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. D.

The following individuals signed up to speak during this item. All those that signed the sign-up sheet had already spoke during the public hearings and did not wish to speak again. The City Secretary read the following emails that were sent in earlier today for this meeting. Jon Baker is against item 5C, adding additional farm houses. Alisson Cobos is against the proposed rezoning of the area located at the intersection of FM 1103 and Orth Avenue. She states it is out of character for the neighborhood. It will also bring safety issues and more noise. Sharon Fumia opposes the rezoning for multi -family development. This type of development will affect the residents that live there. There could be an intrusion of privacy, increase traffic and the coming and going of over 144 people at all hours. Devin McCants is opposed to the rezoning for item 5C. She states that the development may be a good idea, but it has not been planned out well. No neighborhood or residential plan or commercial site should have to open into another neighborhood like this one will. Increase in traffic will increase and traffic will be a nightmare. Jeff McGlothin opposes the rezoning as apartments or multi -family is bad for Cibolo. Cibolo struggles to fund the infrastructure we need for the citizens we already have. More population influx, more traffic, doesn't sound appealing to anyone. He has nothing against people that live in apartments, but they typically have no vested interest in the city. Rich and Shana Simpson strongly oppose the rezoning from C-1 to MF -1. This would harm the surrounding neighborhoods. Increase traffic and overburden of the schools would be a problem. Robbie Berg stated that she was against rezoning. She stated that Wobbler Woods and other smaller green spaces left in this area need to be protected. Ellen Boyers was also against the development north of Foxbrook and FM 1103. She was against it because of additional air pollution, road degradation from the extra traffic, over burden of the school system, and inadequate electrical grid that hasn't been upgraded to handle the homes currently on their grid. Bob Hicks states that it appears that Cibolo has abandoned all efforts to control density. Borgfeld Rd has four multi story residential buildings situated between FM -3008 to Living Way. On of these located in Schertz and three in Cibolo. Traffic congestion is already a problem and will only get worse. Evan Slatis opposes the multifamily development north of the Foxbrook subdivision. Sammy Villela opposes the multifamily development north of Foxbrook that is currently proposed. His main reason opposing the zoning change is flooding in an area with only two major thoroughfares with hundreds more vehicles, especially on FM 1103, which is already a nightmare. Meagan Allen opposes the rezoning regarding multifamily north or Foxbrook. Traffic is already a problem and schools are practically busting at the seams. She states it does not make sense to place a community of rental properties right next to a subdivision of half million dollar plus homes. 7. Consent Agenda •A.
