Mayor Boyle opened the public hearing at 6:46 p.m. The following individuals spoke on this item: Debbie Cotton Spoke on the noise, animal attacks, mailboxes-being destroyed and trash.on both her property and the road. Ms. Cotton stated that this type of incidents have been going on since the neighborhoods have been built. She felt that the neighborhoods feel that they have more rights than the property owners that have been on their land for years. Jennifer Cox stated she was in favor of there-zoning. This has been a struggle for a long time. Ms. Cox stated that she fought the development that many of these people live in now and who are fighting us over trying to sell are land. We have to deal with their animals coming on to are land, drome's looking into our.home and animals from the subdivision coming on to our property. James Hendrix stated he represented the HOA of Saratoga Subdivision and they were against the re- zoning. Another subdivision would put more strain on an already strain infrastructure. Dean Road needs to be completely re-built; Wiederstein Road belongs to Schertz and they have no plans to ever do. anything with that road and Green Valley Road is unsafe. Mr. Hendrix also stated that this development was offering no amenities, water pressure is bad, and traffic would be terrible. Saratoga would like to buy the property and have been trying to get ahold of all the landowners. They have the money and they would leave the land as a greenbelt.

Ms. Goslin also made mention of the.Comprehensive Plan and what zoning regulations what they are designed to do. Steve Taylor wanted to know where all the children will go to school.
