This is a very large piece of property. The pond /tank to the south was to be used for stormwater runoff from Academy, when the Academy development was approved. How is that drainage water to be handled now? What will happen to the pond? Given that rain water must drain away from the storage units, will the land be built higher so that the storage buildings are higher than the height of the homes in that area? The cell tower only uses a small part of the property. Today at a stormwater webinar, I asked Alan Gibbs and Venessa Garza about the site. Mr. Gibbs assured me that the well had been plugged with cement according to strict State regulations, so there would be no possibility of shutoff values corroding and allowing gasoline to leak out. It does not seem safe to me to build on top of an old oil well. The positive features of the proposal include 1)the floodplain on the property is to remain as open space, 2)double landscaping is to be on the eastern side of the development, 3)there will be a multi -use path and a 10 foot wide path to meet the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan, 4) there will be a sidewalk built on Horse Haven Lane, and 5)a public access to the open space area will be dedicated to the City. I am particularly glad that the storage of moving trucks and outdoor storage is not allowed. The site lighting should be directed, so that it does not shine through the trees /double landscaping toward the homes on the east or north. The residential noise restriction is another good requirement. Using materials in the building structure that makes it blend in with the neighborhood is another positive feature. Please do be sure that the entrance and exit of the facility has extra room for the movement of residential traffic, horse trailers for the stables, and the storage unit traffic. This is already a problem in that area due to the curve and narrowness of the streets. Thank you for considering my comments.
