Summary

Resident Davis Hoard told the commission he was "just concerned" about floodplain mapping and potential runoff from a proposed Mark Payne development; staff said drainage and easement details will be addressed at the final plat stage, and the commission approved the zone change.

At the public hearing on a zone change requested by Mark Payne, resident Davis Hoard told the commission he and other neighbors south of the proposed development were "just concerned" about flooding and said he believed the current floodplain map is incorrect. Hoard gave his address for the record and asked that the city examine the area’s flood mapping.

Senior planner Brett Murray responded that drainage and flood issues are typically addressed during the platting process and that final plat review will require submittals on drainage. The applicant said the project includes a "very substantial retention and detention basin" that should improve existing runoff conditions. After discussion the commission voted to approve the zoning request with staff conditions.
