Senior Planner, Jennifer Prochazka presented a brief overview of the proposed ordinance rezoning 11.904 acres from A -O Agricultural Open to R -1 Single - Family Residential at 2691 Horse Haven Lane, located east of the intersection of Horse Haven Lane and Earl Rudder Freeway South. Ms. Prochazka remarked that the applicant has offered a condition • on the rezoning - an offset in the extension of Appomattox at Switch Station Road. The applicant proposed this condition to alleviate some of the cut - through traffic concerns of the City Council Regular Minutes 8/6/07 Page 3 • Windwood residents. Because this connection is off -set it is likely that the cost of this connection will be the City of College Station burden. If the City of College Station remains financially responsible for the connection, staff believes that to control cost, it may be most prudent to align the thoroughfare directly across Switch Station Road. The Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommended approval without the proposed condition. Mayor White opened the public hearing. The following citizens addressed the proposed rezoning.
