Cammack did state that for the SF -5 area a retention pond would be needed as that area does

cities long term plan called for. James Harden was concerned about flooding. He wanted
everyone to look at the flood area and build up the properties before approving any changes.

least one acre where they would be required to be on septic. Cassandra Kearns stated she was
not against development but why not leave this agriculture. Ms. Kearns stated that builders
should have to come to the city and let them know what they want to build. She also felt that
Cibolo's Master Plan and the Planning & Zoning Commission were not on the same page. Kara
