An initial plat for a portion of this property was first proposed in 1982, at a time when the City had a 2-1/2 acre lot density. In addition, the north 30 acres were assessed for a paving project based on that 2-1/2 acre density; 'At the time of the proposal of the Planned Unit Development which ultimately became R~m River Hills, the City was attempting to enforce a 10 acre minimum lot size for the unsewered area, but acknowledged that there were some "grandfather rights" for this particular project. Twenty-three single family one acre residential lots were approved and a 3.75 acre outlot for future high density residential was approved. The original proposal anticipated that there would be two 3-acre outlots for future high density residential, and the narrative plan which was submitted indicated a probable density of 5 to 10 units per acre for those two outtots. This would have meant 30 to 60 dwelling units for future high density development, to be implemented at a time when sewer and water service became available. In the actual design phase of the golf course, however, the golf course needs were such that creating ~wo separate outlots for future high density residential was not feasible, and a single 3.75 acre outlot was created. This is 0utlot C in the plat. Twenty-three single family lots were also created and this was how the plat was recorded.
