3. Citizen's Input.
Albert Keith,1299 Keith Dr., addressed the Council in regards to the development of
land on the North side of F.M. 433. The area is the hill where the old barn stood as you
go out to the West. The area is zoned business and agriculture and as Sanger develops
its going to grow. He indicated that he is not against the growth. His concern is the
drainage problems as the area is developed. This will create a lot of hard pan surfaces
in the area and create more drainage along the road and Keith Dr. It will also create
more water on Ruth Marshall's place. Part of the problem is already developing.
There was a tank that was being used to retain the water. This is now being used as a
dump and being filled up. The water will not run past his road like it should because
the ditch is too high. The state will not allow him to put a horn in. With all of this there
will be a lot of problems, and as the land is developed it will create more problems.
Mayor indicated it has been the policy that when developers come in that they do
something to take care of the drainage. It will be a requirement of the City
Mr. Keith indicated he wanted to bring this up before construction began.
