He feels the Urban Area should be in SE <br />corner of the City and that the Transition Area does not have much land left <br />that is developable. He feels sewer will be brought on by existing homes in <br />the Transition Area. <br /> <br />Councilman Gorham voiced disagreement that the Transition Area will require <br />sewer if that is all the development in that area but more density allowed <br /> <br /> <br />
