PROPONENTS Bill Helm, 2525 Southshore Blvd., League City, one of the developers, addressed the Commission. Mr. Helm stated that prior to asking for the replat, every property owner in Section 2 was shown the proposed changes. Each property owner was then asked to sign an agreement showing they had no objection to the proposed replat. Mr. Helm noted that all owners agreed to sign. B. OPPONENTS Warren Ayres, Woods on the Bay, Unit #43, addressed the Commission. He stated that his view of the bay would be obstructed by approximately 25 ~ , once the new units are constructed. Delores Huth, Woods on the Bay, Unit #44, addressed the Commission. Ms. Huth also spoke on behalf of Jimmy R. Phillips, who also resides in Unit #44. When they purchased the property, it was her understanding that the document Mr. Phillips signed was a formality necessary to close on the property. Ms. Huth and Mr. Phillips are opposed to the replat because it increases the density of the area and infringes upon approximately 12-20 feet of their bay view. She provided their property appraisal, which showed that they received a discount for the sales price of their unit because they have a buffered view of the bay. If the view is further reduced, their property value will decrease. IV. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
