Notice of said public hearing was published in the July31, 2017 issue of a local newspaper as follows: (Insert notice here.) Mr. Donald Anthony, Principal Planner, presented the unanimous recommendation of the Planning Commission to amend the Estates at Primm Springs PRD to allow for removal of a barricade along Satinwood Drive. Mr. Sam Huddleston, Assistant City Engineer, reported on permitting and development buildout and the request to amend the Pattern Book by removing the requirement that Satinwood Drive not be connected to the adjacent subdivision, Primm Springs, until the last phase reaches 75% buildout. The Fire & Rescue Chief reported on numerous issues with response time into this subdivision and numerous calls from residents regarding the access being blocked for emergency vehicles as well as other city resources and school buses. He recommended that the barricade be removed as it is impeding their access to the remainder of this subdivision, extends their response times into the subdivision and, more importantly, impacts public safety. Mayor McFarland then declared the public hearing open and invited those present who wished to speak for or against the proposed amendment to the Estates at Primm Springs PRD come forward to the podium. Ms. Glenda Smart, 3012 Fallswood Drive, supported the removal of the barricade as soon as possible as they live behind the barricade, and there is heavy construction equipment remaining for the last phase of the neighborhood which could cause them to be trapped if emergency vehicles could not get down Satinwood and could not access them from Sulphur Springs Road even if the GPS directed them to the correct side. Mr. Brandon Smith, 1906 Satinwood Drive, said the barricade is in the middle of the 1800 block. They are not the only ones that the barricade inconveniences on the Primm Springs side as they only have one exit out of their subdivisions. Between the two subdivisions, there are over 100 people on both sides that, if something happened at the entrance to their subdivision, they would affectively be trapped. He felt a second exit should be allowed for both sides prior to final paving of that road. Ms. Crystal Wesley, 1914 Satinwood Drive, addressed the safety issues, especially when there is an accident, and there is no way out of the subdivision. There were no others present who wished to speak for or against the proposed amendment to the Estates at Primm Springs PRD and, after ample time had been given, Mayor McFarland declared the public hearing closed.
