2. Public Comments
Mr. John Wright, 145 Rose Lane, spoke regarding 5a and 5c. He asked that the
community’s desires be upheld.
Ms. Sandy Watts stated that she is available to any questions.
Mr. Nathaniel Hutchinson, owner of 1065 Theodore Road, asked that the
annexation and zoning be approved.
Mr. George Freeman, 1450 Bowman Rd, suggested that the SB-OD
requirements be upheld for the Watts property and that the request be denied as
it would not meet the 12,500 sf lot requirement. He also suggested that this would
set a precedent within the community for future rezonings and smaller lot sizes
that could affect density for the community.
Mr. Chris Donato, Engineer for Watts family, stated that this is a unique
development. He stated that they would develop the property with 32 lots and
almost 30% open space. He stated that impact fees would also be paid. He stated
that they would preserve the historic trees on the site. He stated that they would
