Public Comments & Testimony

• Routine items: Steve Small (8565 South Warbonnet) approached the dais to request items 30–34 be heard separately, but those items had already been held per the applicant; Chair noted he could speak at the end of the meeting.
• Non-routine items (49–53): Two speakers opposed the Cimmaron Spring Deaux LLC proposal. Steve Small argued it was spot zoning and would set a precedent for further densification. Andrew Acunia (8460 Warbonnet Way) opposed the density of 12 lots on 2.43 acres, stating it was too dense for the area and that a neighborhood meeting was poorly attended. One letter of support was submitted; 13 opposition cards were turned in.
