General public comment resumes with Roger Mendoza

56:26Excuse me, Mr. Chairman M. Um I believe we still have one more person for general public comment. I don't know if you're still accepting general public comment.

56:33Absolutely not. Yeah, go ahead.

56:40How many of them swing?

56:41Okay. While he's getting sworn in, is there anybody else that walked in late that did not get sworn that intends to speak? All right. By yourself.

56:51You swear upon the testimony you're about to give is the true subject God.

56:57I feel like I'm getting worried, but My name is Roger Mendoza, I'm [address removed]. Um I'm literally bordering the south side of the Faza Strip the Faza Ranch where the the R Horn's gonna be. Uh I'm gonna start with this this little thing and I'm gonna basically kinda end it with it. I feel like we're not not really being listened to. I don't know if we how

57:27much we can say about the green things and the green acres that we want and the the things that we really want, but the things that we've been promised, etc. I don't think we've been actually been listening to I've been leaving there for about fourteen years and um We have a uh non profit that we that we run from our home. We've been losing a lot of revenue because of not only the flooding, people can't get down on road. We have a private road as well as part of like where uh where so single terry is. So we have a private road in that half

57:57mile stretch and It's hard to come down that route, especially when there's a lot of water. And there's a lot of uh

58:03uh

58:03degradation to the road as well. But uh part of it is that One of the things that is that they put in the faucet was they're gonna be putting this plastic wall PVC wall. And have you guys walked around and I even walked around maybe like driven around and seen the seen all those PVC fences all over the place? We have kids in our in our autistic uh they're autistic and they're prone to going into water. There's gonna be a 400 foot retention pod, like literally on the other side of that fence. Little

58:35endless light happens. So how would you have that in the conscience of not only yourselves, but uh the commissioners and the developers if something happened to a person or a kid that was wanting to go to water. You know, I don't have flood insurance just because I don't have a pool, I don't have a lake behind me or anything like that. But I wanna be able to um use my land as nature because uh that's what I bought it for. You know. I bought it for nature

59:05and we all want to be in nature. Um like mister Singletary's you know Make sure you h pay respect to the trees. You know what I mean? So that's something that we ask for. And From the last meeting. um not only from the FAZA but a prelui. I know that there's kind of change and there's like a second segment going on, etc., etc. We're supposed to have a dead end from our private road all the way to Elam. But somehow it changed. On the next one where it says we're gonna have a pass through.

59:36From Kenton Road. from our private road back into Kenton Road. You could just imagine how much the traffic is that People trying to bypass the New Kenton Road to get off into our private road and then go back in. That's gonna make us a nightmare and not only that, but uh a lot of us have businesses at our houses, we have livestock at our houses, we have kids at our houses, and we I don't even close the gates anymore because

1:00:07my kids just run. They have ten acres to play with. You know what I mean? So part of it is that we want to have nature to be nature and we want to be listened to and we want to have those things that were promised to us to be fulfilled. Thank you.

1:00:23Thanks for coming out.

1:00:29Anybody else from anybody else in the audience? Okay, anybody from here want to say anything?

1:00:38Okay. And I I do wanna thank everybody for coming out. I mean you you your voices have been heard. Um as David stated in the things that he said the county has heard. Um I know the the board heard you guys at the last meeting when you made your presentation at the last meeting. I know we we brought this up at at the last Planning commission meeting that was here about connected city issues and about wanting to see the the the overall picture in a whole rather than just the individual projects in a bubble. So um Your voices are being
