1~~~ Bettendorf, Regarding education, a good share of the money comes from contd. income taxes and state aid. He is not capable of discussing the pros a.nd cons of the tax structure. S. P. Schultz S. P. °chultz, 1725 r~o. Fry: He didn't think Bettendorf covered any ground that hadn't already been taken care of. There is no left turn .coming out of this property. All the traffic would flow on to Fry and the biggest percentage of traffic would be at the close of the day and early in the morning and they will go Fry to beat the traf~ic signs. They want something tha-'- will bring additional revenue -- not cost them money. Korstad I Imow Bettendorf is capable and has a ve~^y fine reputation as an appraiser. He has made an appraisal of what affect these buildings will have on property values, but admits he knows nothing about taxes or the water problem, and the statements he made regarding traffic show he has not investi- gated that. Bettendorf did not have time enough to make a complete study. Kulkay Kulkay sair. he owned income property in Sty Paul and sold to come out here because he granted to live in a spacious residen- tial area, and he didn't like the idea of a tenement row across the street from his home. K7 ein ~,. R. Klein said ":2r. Robins made a statement that these proposed units, a+ the highest peak, would not be as high as the surround- ing buildings.

Gibbons Tom Gibbons says he wonders haw the kids will get aloes in the increased traffic while waiting for school buss in the morning, and thinking about v~rhat it would cost to have anew police squad to supervise in the morning. He hopes. some kind of play ground can be arranged. He also hopes some arrangement can be made to keep these youngsters from rur_ning out onto Larpenteur. Arrange~en is should be made so the kids have some place to g;o. If they are out in the streets, they aro going to have accidents and maybe deaths. If the apartment buildings do g'~ through, he hopes they will do something -Fo make it attractive for the kids to stay in their ewn back yards rather than running out on the street. ?:Irs. Carlton ~~~rs. Kittleson thinks I~4r. I3ettendorf's description of things Kittleson that might happen gives the Council a good argument for rezoning to Class A Residential. ~Felvin ~~r. Spiegler said the group mentioned 70 children and assumed Spiegler they would all be ~~oing to school. i'e doubts if_ half would be of school age which would cut school tax load to less than half the amount estimated. As far as play area is concerned, 1.6 acras of the 2.6t~ acres is green. He feels :pure they 'can arrange some kind of play ground. Trey can put fences along Larpenteur. That, is a ~r~ry minor thing. Kulkay George Kulkay said ?fir. Robins said apartments going in there would bring 102 families Vrho would be potential home owners. He doesn't see that: much room available. He doesn't think
