Commissioner Bertrand expressed his disappointment that no one was present to
represent the applicant. He stated his concerns with the planned development of a
gas well should the rezoning be successful. He had safety concerns with a well
which would be located close to an intermediate school and park. A gas well was
also not conducive to the types of development in the area.
Commissioner Mc Veigh stated that the area being rezoned was too close to FM
528 and did not think a gas well would present a good appearance on FM 528 and
was concerned about loud noises issuing from the well site.
