density residential and Preliminary Development Plan approval for site layout and building
architecture on approximately 2-acres located at the northeast corner Pleasant Drive and Pecos
Road, located more generally approximately % mile east of the northeast corner of Alma School
and Pecos roads.

RON KEMP, 815 W. GERONIMO STREET presented concerns regarding parking, he stated
Pleasant Drive is a small street with a zigzag across from a retention pond. He explained several
new developments went up and the side streets are packed with parked cars. He mentioned just
west of Dobson they had to put up no parking signs on both sides of the street due to issues. He
further explained when he originally viewed the site plan there was a in and out on Pecos, but
on the newest plan has it on Pleasant Drive and that street does not need to get any busier. He
stated he would like no parking on Pleasant Drive and further stated no one likes this project but
cannot complain because it fits the zoning.

VICE CHAIRMAN ROSE stated during the Study Session he presented concerns regarding
Pleasant Drive as it is a smaller street, and you would not want a lot of drivers going north. He
further stated there is going to be a management company for the subdivision who can monitor
and asked if the Applicant wanted to speak on it as the we want to get as much information as
we can.

RON KEMP, 815 W. GERONIMO STREET stated drivers should be going in and out on Pecos and
not a small side street. He explained, Pecos is three lanes with plenty of access in and out.

VICE CHAIRMAN ROSE stated Mr. Kemp mentioned a project and asked if he happened to know
the name of the project with the parking issue.

RON KEMP, 815 W. GERONIMO STREET explained west of Dobson and Frye roads a large
development was built on the corner and the fire department had to intervene on opening day
due to parking on both sides of the street. He stated drivers could not fit between the parked
cars. He further stated most people use their garage for storage and have two to three cars
parked out front and he is concerned with stacking and parking overflow. He stated he did not
know if a restriction could be made for two cars only.

VICE CHAIRMAN ROSE states city staff reviewed the project and technically the Applicant has
over enough parking with the garages. He wanted to make a note that property management
needs to monitor the parking and there is a need for a sign. He further stated that is something
City Council should also look at. He thanked the speaker and confirmed there were no further
questions from Commission Members. He recognized a member of the audience was standing
and wanted to speak on this item, but she did not have a speaker card.

THOMAS ALLEN, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY stated the resident can let her concerns be known,
although she would need to start with her name and address for the record.

VICE CHAIRMAN ROSE invited the resident to speak at the podium and advised her to start with
her name and address.

SONYA SCHRADER, 857 W. KESSLER LANE stated her property is adjacent to the project and she
believes the lot is too small for the number of occupants they are proposing. She further stated
she is concerned with parking and that the properties are for rent. She is concerned that her
house will be adjacent to the apartment complex, and it will bring transients to the area. She
explained there is a green belt area that is maintained by her HOA and there is noting that stops
others from crossing over and using it since it is in walking distance from the apartment
complex. She is concerned with vandalism and how that could impact her HOA fees.

VICE CHAIRMAN ROSE thanked the speaker, confirmed there were no questions from the
Commission Members, and closed the floor.
