The developers indicated they would review this consideration and make revisions in the preliminary plat stage.

He ~ndicated their willing- ness to mention pending improvements on each deed conveyed. Mr. Muller pointed out that this arrangement would set a precedence and wished to study the matter further. It was decided to table the matter until the 3/27/78 meeting to allow further input from the planning staff. (Councilman Mickelson arrived at this time) There was additional discussion about the issue of prepaying assessments, bonding, and the ability of the developer to get mortgage money on prepaid and uninstalled improvements.
