5/7/79 Ron West stated that this is the same principle as Autumn Heights and that it has worked in that area, Ken Peterson pointed out that there will eventually be two additional accesses when adjacent lands are developed. A resident from Shady Lawn stated that he objected to Mr. Klemish being able to offer the Council money in order to have more lots than allowed by City ordinance. Klemish stated he should be entitled to something for giving the City additional park land. Art Dunn asked to go on record as being opposed to one acre regardless of overall density and that his idea of P.U.D was one central system for sewer and water for'a plat. Ben Deemer stated that he couldn't recommend the sketch, but would point out areas where he felt it could be improved such as an additional access to the east and relignment of streets to have one between the brook and any house. Art Dunn pointed out that the road would probably end up in the floodplain. Ron West asked how many lots the Council recommended? Ben Deemer Stated that he objected to Mr. Klemish being allowed to include the roads in acreage to figure density. Ken Peterson asked for a show of hands of those opposed to the sketch. Ail were opposed except Ron West and John HuJ~bard. Gerry Zimmerman stated that anyone with an attorney can show equally good reasons for allowing less than 2.5 acre lots. Art Dunn said the City is just asking for that entire area to end up in one acre lots. Kathy Schneider explained if the Council wished different zoning for the land adjacent to Trott Brook, they should authorize someone to proceed with amending the zoning ordinance. Ron West stated that he would rather see an one acre buildable site than 2.5 acre lots with 1 acre of it water.
