Mr. Gary Teague, Teague, Null and Perkins, appeared before the Council. Mr. Teague stated there was no opposition to this request at the Planning and Zoning meeting. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated he had spoken against this request in Pre-Council because the Council had commiserated over PZ 82-20 with the Abrey Brothers for at least two years. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that the Council had worked with the citizens in that area and there were some commitments made on Eden Road and some drainage. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that he felt adding on some of the conditions in that area that they thought was solved could possibly be getting back into the same condition. Mr. Teague stated the basis for the request was they felt this was the appropriate zoning. It would be an extension to Flamingo Estates and most of the lots would be large lots in spite of the zoning of 1F-9. Councilman Hubbard asked approximately how many houses would be buil t. Mr. Teague stated that it would be nineteen lots. Page 6 December 12, 1983 PLANNING & ZONING PUBLIC HEARING PZ 83-62, REQUEST OF H.M. HOWE TO REZONE A PORTION OF TRACT 1, S.

Mr. Teague stated that in the present Flamingo Estates there was a provision to put a road through. Councilman Fisher stated that Eden Road was supposed to be widened but that it had not been done. Mr. Teague stated the money had been escrowed by his client and the County was supposed to participate. Councilwoman Hinkle asked it Flamingo Estates was developed. Mr. Teague stated it was presently under construction. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that to his knowledge Aubrey Brothers had done everything that they had agreed to under the original zoning stipulations. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated the reason he spoke against the request was because the City had commiserated so long, over two years, to get the first tract in and he felt very uncomfortable putting another tract in and because it was over two hundred feet no one in the area knew about the request change. Councilwoman Hinkle stated she agreed that single family would be the highest and best use for the tract but was not sure Eden Road could handle the traffic if not improved. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward.

Furthermore, he was elected by the entire City and did not take kindly to some- one threatening him every time a decision was made. Councilman Hubbard stated he was not basing his denial upon the events that had happened earlier in the evening. Councilman Hubbard stated that initially it had been presented in a proper manner and a decision should be made and the issue should not be postponed. Councilman Fisher stated he would like for this item to be tabled until the council could have another work session. Councilman Fisher stated that one of the principals was present in the Pre-Council session tonight and it was obvious there might have been a misunderstanding on this issue. Councilman Fisher stated he personally would like to see a letter from Mr. Mangham indicating that he would like to close Cardinal Lane. Councilman Fisher stated he had full confidence in the Staff and that was what they understood Mr. Mangham wanted. Councilman Fisher moved, seconded by Councilman Hubbard to table this item. Councilman Fisher stated he would like to made a comment relative to Pre-Council. Councilman Fisher stated that he understood that citizens had the right to voice their opinion in Pre-Council, but somethings that were said in Pre-Council tonight had upset him very much. Councilman Fisher stated that he was elected by the citizens of the community and his job was to look out for the welfare of all citizens and he did not appreciate being told he was not looking out for the welfare of all the citizens of the City. Mr. McEntire stated that in order to take affirmative action on the item on the agenda, the City would have to have the request in writing at least 35 days prior to the Council taking action because there would have to be several publications made before the street could be closed. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that the principals had talked with some of the Staff whose integrity was above reproach, indicating he wanted Cardinal Lane closed and that was what the City was trying to do. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey stated that if anyone else came in from the Government, FAA, or anyone else wanting anything associated with the airport they had better be a principal of the airport and have something in writing. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey asked for the Council's support in making this statement. Councilman Hubbard called for the question. Motion to table carried 4-0. Mayor Pro Tern Ramsey expressed his appreciation to the Staff for their time spent on this request. Page 11 December 12, 1983 47. None 48.
