Public Hearing -
Omni Homes (Cont.)
Chairman Pendleton opened the Public Hearing.
Robert Poster, Superintendent of Lovejoy School, spoke against
this request. He stated that the size of the request would put a
burden on the Lovejoy School because of the possible drastic increase
of students within the next two years. He stated that the school
would have no help from any area other than the voters and tax payers
and he felt that this would not be sufficient in a short time.
Sam Webster, Secretary of the Board at Lovejoy School, spoke
against this request. His concerns were of the expansion of the school
in a short period of time; possibly within two years. He stated that
there was no longer any funding possible from the State for rapidly
developing areas. There is not an emergency fund for any rapidly de-
veloping area from any other source. The only possible funding would
be from increased taxes.
Weston Blair, Rt 1, Allen, Texas, spoke against this request. He
was concerned with the possible increasein the Lovejoy School in such
a short time. He was also concerned with the City services, the tax
increase, the density of the request, the construction of the request
being the quality of existing development, and buffering of the exist-
ing residents.
Ron Kuker, Rt 1, Allen, Texas, spoke against this request. His
concerns were with the possible expansion of Lovejoy School and the
existing residents needing some buffering to their property.
Vernon Day, Rt 1, Allen, Texas, spoke against this request. His
concerns were that he is developing a tract of land at this same lo-
cation that will be homes with acreage. He felt that the Omni Homes
request might hurt his development because of the density of this
request.
Bob Taylor, spoke against this request. His concerns were with
the possible expansion of Lovejoy School, the possible tax base in-
crease, the density of the request, and the possible traffic problem.
Jim Nash spoke against this request. His concerns were with
the possible expansion of Lovejoy School, the problems of providing
rooms and education for the students, and the buffering of the re-
quested development.
Dorothy Day, Rt 1, Allen, Texas, spoke against this request. Her
concern was the high density proposed in the request.
Chairman Pendleton closed the Public Hearing.
