intersection. Planning Commission recommended approval 7-0.
Dan Fernandez, Planner II with Public Works Planning Division

separation for the neighbors at Ernie Miller Park who have been

project.
Chet Belcher, Transportation Manager with Public Works provided
information regarding the traffic.
Kevin Tubbesing with Stag Commercial, 7021 Johnson Drive,
Mission addressed the Council regarding the project and stated the
problem with a mandatory fifty foot buffer is it would push them
south an additional twenty feet. Mr. Tubbesing stated they have
already moved from twenty to thirty feet and with each additional ten
feet it would be $200,000 to $300,000 minimum. Mr. Tubbesing
asked the Council instead of making it a requirement to let them
work with staff. Mr. Tubbesing said they would give the fifty feet if
they can, but if it were not possible to give up the fifty feet that they
would work with staff to make sure there are appropriate measures
to keep Ernie Miller the beautiful public park that it is.
Motion by Randall to approve the rezoning ordinance with the added
stipulation that a mandatory fifty foot buffer be required for the project.
The motion failed due to a lack of a second.
Motion by Randall , seconded by Bacon, to approve the rezoning
ordinance. The motion carried by the following vote:
