Bruce Barkett , attorney for the applicant, Segovia Lakes, LLC, commented on the history of this matter, pointed out the surrounding properties, explained proposed vehicle movement, and speculated on future usage of nearby undeveloped parcels. He enumerated objections to the site plan and how the applicant proposed to address those objections in order to eliminate them.
