The Fair Oaks Ranch City Council convened on October 3, 2024, with four members present, establishing a quorum for the regular meeting. The session began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a reminder that the meeting was being live broadcasted, encouraging public participation through the designated microphone.

During the \"Citizens to Be Heard\" segment, resident Jerry Pieper submitted a letter expressing concerns regarding the installation of speed monitoring signs on Ditzel Corn Road. Pieper highlighted that funding for these enhancements was allocated in the 2021-2022 budget but had yet to be implemented. The resident also requested a reduction of the speed limit on Ditzel Corn Road from 35 to 30 miles per hour to improve safety for both drivers and local wildlife.

Following this, the council moved to the consent agenda, which included the approval of minutes from previous meetings and the acknowledgment of absences from certain council members. The consent agenda was unanimously approved.

The meeting then transitioned to two public hearings. The first public hearing addressed a variance request from Sedley Homes Limited, seeking to reduce the minimum required street frontage for 38 lots in the proposed Oak Bend subdivision from 150 feet to a range of 107.75 to 148.68 feet. The public works director, Grant Watanabe, provided details about the subdivision's location and the specific lots affected by the request, noting that while most lots met the required frontage, six did not.

The council's discussions and decisions on these matters will continue as they seek to address community concerns and development regulations.
