° mad motion' from Minutes of December 9, 1974. ,Councilman Watkins stated that
earlier in the evening we made a. motion that when the.,hbrdshel( came in, it lacked
any language to do with; the dedication and an that, and going back through the
Minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting, the developer has done everything
` •IW
according io .the ordinances today without any fault and it acs specifically discussed
quite clearly, If,someone objects to thane provisions, Councilman 'Watkins would
like.to hear about them, other than it was tabled and referred it to the attorney
for his, interpretation.. In Councilman Watkins estimation nothig more can be done
than what has already been done. v n
Councilman Oakes stated it was quite obvious that the matter of rights 10 -lake owner-
ship has been run through the Court, and he does not recall, how it came I out and
hopefully with some degree of joint manuvering he—will no have to find out.
-Councilman Oakes thought'thot it is c�.i1e w ise se to.understorxl that the,
matter is of ”
oontiderable importarice,not only to owners in the orea,,;but owners near the area: and
owners that do. not even I ive,near the area and that ,ittis quite wise before the Co
moves into the middle of a lawsuit to the Point understanding that what you do has
, some reasonable measure of landing up in,.Court if it comes up .into either

Councilman Oakes commented that early in the advent of m "Ah kilie situation which
exists, ,which' has a, minor replat and. premise ,that on,the (qke access lot there

the paper somewhere that we are a Council noted for doing its ,homework would
like to make it reasonably well certain on this'ohe that the homework that has been
done, to the point where lawyers start arguing the two sides of it, based not only on
current-bucfuture actione> we don't find that our suspenders. are stretch d out further
than they should be.
'Councilman "W01kins stated that'thw whole thing. is, we hold'a public hearing with

Councilman Watkins sta'Md it was not a large meeting and} wasn't largely attended but
'there were points specifically driveways, par there were on rt of this and
can 9 back if yo +� want toe�iew the hearing'of Wicke you
r -Knox on Mitchell Pond and
the lot 'hey. were gong to that wasn't
.do even a_ part of the hearing. Part of the
reaction, we could call' it backlash of the problem area, You could say possibly that
'
portion of the ordinance'. is a result of the problems - -'in a problem area, We h
-taken our.ordinance and consulted with the state.-as to, do they think it is restrictive
,
.resirictive enough, restrictive or reasonably. adequate, .One of the 'Planning
Commissioners about five weeks.ago, came up with a pretty thorough resume
}
r ,
t
of what .
he thougit,of it and, has a desire_ to, change it.and'to probably make it more restrictive.
On the motion I made will
you notice the record of the votes. The developer was
pretty thoroughly directed and our inter pretcation of the ordinance at the time and
,
our for g p
ix+ granting re lot. If the developer wished to contest it in the
ensuing week and one -half before that, but he chose to ignore ,it on he plot and I
feel • that in doing what the Planning Commission
y =
and<Council was.directeId to do-
the hardshell is completely inadequate.
Councilman Oakes`atated that Fie voted no to earlier motion because <of the form ofi
the motion.
