Mr. Marston pointed out th~at we have already presented a larger' urban area' than the MWCC intends to be able to service by including the area along Hwy' 10 in. the' Urban area. Ben Deemer explained that his reasons for including the River property was to pre- vent metes & bounds subdivision of. the land. Mr. Marston agreed with this concern, but stated that he felt this would not be the best method of controlling the problem. Based on the additional information from Mr. Marston, it was the consensus of the Commission not to include the Rum River land (presently outside the urban area) in the urban area. Other items discussed included elimination of UMB-2, shopping center classification, and better definition in regards to reducing commercially zoned land in the vicinity ~of Co. #5 and Hwy #47. All changes will be made with final copy.
