CIP: The thou occurs to tne, that we could move to.`a high Fpoint�of land, and
suspsct this is a; high point of (and, and look for a site for the pity to acquire, to use
for a future well site and 4ater, tower instal lotion. We hav e. an opportunity, `whether
this. is, where it}belongs or somewhere else, to work *0h, same cooperation with the
devtiloper to put in City facilities, m whereever this gets to be I think in the future we
should view the required City facilities, in
cooperation with some -of 4 developments,
so`we don t got -the City in a,situation in having trx".esolote City facilities. The next is
'
in general, whraekind of structure would. be built in regard to °heigI4 do additici 6

that, I think that "land use should be considered, to talk about the layof the land, the

Commission struggled over, and that brings me back to'the possible City use, ,r2s a
x
possible cooperative venture il't6 ngineer and the City Planner determines that
µ,
is where it should be, and this will also take some. homework, and perhaps it should
not occur now and should be a point "for the future. It is apparent that the buffering,
as a one lot wide buffering, would not really be the kind of graded .transition from
R =i
t�
to something other than R -1 to eventually R -3,• so this is another area, it could
c
be wise for you :to :;address. A general gverview as it would seem, that iond use in the
community, and I have heard optimum numbers about the size of the community, and
numbers 1 "have heard are in the area of 50,000, and I think that in this kind of
economic environment there are, in, point of- fact, young families who do not have the
money to live in the life style a lot of us older citizens enjoy and „so there does need'to
be some kind of situation where young families can move in and. start a home in a
reasonable. I if* style that their parents enjoy ,and they would like to enjoy if they can
make ,the payments. So some sort,of land use bey R -1 if it is
<, Yo properly planned,
would, seem to be reasonable. 'So recapping, sewer and water can be available to the
area,r the area should be properly buffered, there is based on data the Council and
Mayor some reasonable possibility of a cooperative effort which would include City
° fa c' as eventual.cgmmeric' I facilities. 1 think that.multipie,use in
'modest amounts in our community is going to have to be a way life, like
of whether 1
it or Anybody else likes; it, so, than l- think,Mayor and Denny,would be the major
points that I would think should be addressed as you would be coming back, not give
• a specific, building per your land, but more especially take into :accountthe -facts
J have rnentioned and address them. Summarizing,; Mayor, I think that the community
is gDinq,to have to accept.some ,farm,of4onsity beyond R -1, 1, think It needs to be
g y tostefully developed, I think the "impact internally and externally,, needs to be
determined, but I, think there is a reasonable place far ;reasonable: development and
to, I should not like to we this get into the area of confrontation, but more especially
�
cooperative. I failed to; make one, point, there will be a school or schools on the
North side of the lake, and that did not come,up last Thursday nighti,and'l was very
_
disappointed that a. member of thw school board did not bring it, up, because to suggest
that the impact of this kind of development would overlogd the schools is entirely beside
6h
k 1)0�int..c; It seems to hte�`a4wward positive sort of'look would,be hat
, w ame nities
can we, have that would be close to where we live and would aid our life style. So
i
k
{; Ail 1 am really, saying is, .1 hope _the whole oommuniry, Council, Planning Commission,
Planner, Engineer, Councilmen,
r
and. Mayor help this developer, down the road' is
understanding what he is really planning for which the land which he controls and
pays /'taxes an to the_ point of saying, this is so far front
.apart what our community would
like to see happen, that is lust isn't going, to happen.
ti' x Councilman Watkins read.a memorandum concerning the Public Hearing on the
