Chairman Miller asked about the provision that the lot widths exceeded 70 feet for

or left, a lot of blind spots on the corner.

Chairman Miller asked if there was any requirement in the UDC that requires a circular
drive.

drive. The driveway standards will meet the UDC requirements when the building permit
is reviewed.
Chairman Miller asked about backing onto Ocean Drive with the blind curve.
Ms. Whitmire stated the circular drive can be on the corner lot to connect to both streets.
The rest of the driveways will be 70 feet.
Chairman Miller asked if they want to do a front facing garage, is that prohibited.
Ms. Whitmire stated we are not making them do it.
Mr. Orozco stated plat residential driveways shall be designed so residents do not have
to back out into the arterial Ocean Drive.
Commissioner Salazar-Garza asked a question about Item No. 5, the new street that is to
be developed.
Vice Chairman York stated it is a paper street.
Chairman Miller opened Public Comment.
Grier Gottlich, 3361 Mavis Drive, stated he had safety concerns about the plat on the S
curve, a lot of blind corners.
Daniel Shea, 123 Alta Plaza, stated he didn't think he got all the paperwork regarding the
plat. Mr. Shea sketched out eight lots and Ocean Drive is our showcase and should not
be represented by smaller homes. Mr. Shea also had concerns about safety around the
island and the left-hand turn lane.
Mark Gottlich, 3447 Denver Avenue, stated there have been numerous accidents around
the S curve, accessing and egress will present a huge safely concern. A lot of people do
not know what is going on in the neighborhood and they would like to speak with the
developers.
Andy Lehrman, 3360 mavis Drive, stated that this came as a complete surprise to the
neighborhood. The density of putting 12 homes in this area, at 40-45 miles per hour on
the S curve, they will have to stop to allow people to get in and out of the driveways on
Ocean Drive. Mr. Lehrman is concerned about safety issues.
Chairman Miller asked what the current zoning is; it is RS-6 and defined RS-6.
Ms. Whitmire explained that there are already seven lots there. As far as safety, this is a
small development which didn't trigger a traffic analysis.

Chairman Miller stated if this was a zoning case, it would be different. The current zoning
fulfills the requirements of the UDC and Texas Local Government Code. They cannot
deny a property owner's rights in this situation. The item cannot be tabled.
Buck Brice, attorney, stated this is a plat which is of an administrative nature. If it
complies to all the legal requirements, it is subject to approval. The plat started on
January 11, 2024, there is a 30-day shot clock; it would be automatically approved by
State Law if it is not approved by February 11, 2024.
Chairman Miller closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Commissioner Lerma to approve Item A, Items 2, 3, 4, and 5 as
presented by staff and seconded by Vice Chairman York. The Vote: All Aye. The motion
