Chairman Layton then opened the floor to discussion and questions from the audience from any persons who were for the proposed plat. There were no questions or comments from those for the plat. Chairman Layton then stated that those persons who wished to speak against the proposed plat or had any questions con- cerning the plat now had a chance to do so. Ms. June Chenault asked to be recognized and stated that she was representing the citizens for orderly growth, and she wished the record to show that this group has filed suit against the City concerning the approval of zoning for Fox and Jacobs. Mr. Troy Williams asked to be recognized and stated that he would like to know how many houses will be built in the first phase. Mr. Mitchell stated that they are planning on building 200 homes in the first phase. Ms. Chenault again questioned what provisions had been made for the water run-off on the lake that is located on the south end of the Fox and Jacobs development. Mr. Mitchell stated that they planned to maintain the dam and the lake, that they have made plans for a spillway to handle any emergency water run- off. They are planning to dig the tank down approximately six feet and to apply hydro -mulch on the slopes of the lake. Ms. Chenault again questioned whether the run-off from all 441 homes will drain into the lake. City Ad- ministrator James Elium stated that all 441 homes will not drain into the lake. Some of the run-off will go under Moore Road and some will go to the north. Since there were no further questions from the audience at this time, Chairman Layton asked if any of the Commissioners had any questions concerning the development. Commissioner Burton stated that he would like to see it in writing that a 60/40 ratio be maintained in developing the Accent and Flair homes.

Commissioner Rainey questioned what the target date for the completion of r r �. the greenbelt areas would be ands wr`° "fie `Ci ty would take over maintenance of these areas.

Mr. Troy Williams then questioned whether a buffer of Flair homes is still being planned to be placed along the south end of the deve- lopment. Mr. Damon assured Mr. Williams that that is still in their plans.
