He stated Staff is aware of the question on <br />whether others in the area could hook up to sewer and water, but if the Planning Commission and <br />City Councils{do not approve the project, the question is academic. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated he has some concerns about expanding the MUSA into this area. He <br />indicated:t, hey evaluated after the Comprehensive Plan was amended whether to bring this into <br />higher density use, and made the decision against it based on the proximity to two major <br />roadways, that the area is self-contained and that there would be little development to the north <br />and west. He stated he is opposed because they went through the process extensively, and this is <br />just an opportunity to expand development in an area that is not planned for development. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/December 4, 2003 <br /> Page 3 of 20 <br /> <br /> <br />
