<br />• <br />• Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting, <br />July 15, 1981, Page 4 <br />Faris: Then it would be back to the same thing it was prior <br />to the merger. <br />Johnny Miller - 11011 San Jacinto (Lomax): We were wondering <br />if you received the letter from John Cole. I didn't know if <br />you were going to read that into the minutes or not. Several <br />of the people are concerned about reducing housing to 850 <br />square feet. I would like to read the letter. (Letter a <br />part of these minutes.) <br />Westergren: It is my understanding that lot sizes would not <br />change. Also, it is my understanding that elevations out <br />there won't change due to zoning changes. <br />Askins: That is right. This doesn't have anything to do with <br />flood insurance. <br />Faris: You mean to say that regardless of what size the lot <br />is or the house built on it, that the requirements for it to <br />be built in any flood plain would not change, regardless of <br />what happens? <br />• Askins: That is correct. <br />Janie Yeary - 10910 San Jacinto Drive (Lomax): There is not <br />much I can. add to the letter that was just read.

I would also like to ex- <br />press my feelings on it. I do not feel the present drainage <br />and the sewer system can handle one more house, much less <br />what we are talking about here. It is just going back to <br />several years ago when the City had no money and they put in <br />a drainage system and also a sewage system which was completely <br />inadequate. The only way they could justify that was that <br />that was all the money they could rake up. We've been out <br />there for 20 years and we know what we are talking about. <br />Out there now during a moderate to heavy rain, your seal around <br />your bathtub leaks, your commode backs up and some of the <br />neighbors out there have raw sewage backs up into their house. <br />Now this has happened for a long time, and it's awful easy <br />to say, well, this is going to be fixed in a year or two or <br />even five, but it's just as easy to say that this inflation is <br />going to be brought under control and people are going to be <br />able to build a bigger house. Now we don't have any objec- <br />tions to people building a smaller house, but our facilities <br />
