1 1 1 JI 10 -19 -72 Mr. Marier explained his position. The P &Z worked with what they had. There are five recommendations from the Planner and three from the Engineer. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Busch about the five recommendations from the P &Z, Mr. Busch replied that #1 - the company is agreeable to all R 1 zoning; #2 & #3 - if the Council approved these recommendations, then this is fine with U. S. Lakes; #4 - they agree to the revision of East Shadow Lake Drive; #5 - This is agreeable also. Mrs. Borovansky asked if they take out the buffer zone then what will be done with this land = will there be more homes in the area - just how will this land be used? Mr. Busch tried to explain but Mr. Marier interrupted and said that he had given f'ris recommendations and felt that Mr. Busch was out of order. Mr. Busch said these are only plans and deal only with the mechanics of the plat, not the basic platting. Mr. Marier said these things should be dealt with by the Planner and Engineer and felt that the floor should be opened for questions. Mrs. Borovansky said she felt that her question had not been answered. Is this the only plan that they can look at - isnt there a counter proposal? How many other homes will be put in this buffer zone? Mr. Busch explain -d that these plans are not the Company's but are from the P8Z. The Company would prefer to leave the park area of about 13 acres of land. If this is removed from the buffer zone then the streets wi I I be redesigned and there will be about 18 more lots. Mr. Zelinka asked why the P &Z eliminated the green area? What was their thinking on this? Mr. Marier replied that the P &Z felt that the buffer zone did nothing to enhance the entire community and they had considered the cost of maintainance. IMr. Marier then announced that he was leaving the meeting, that he had presented his report and he felt that when the Council was ready to work as a Council and not be ruled by a developer then he would return. Mr. Marier teft the Council Chambers at 8:55 P. M. Since two Councilmen were absent, there was not a quorum left therefore no legal action could be taken. IMr. Bohjanen suggested that we continue the meeting as an informative meeting. Mr. Johnson said that he had bought his house because it was on the golf course, because of the Country Club, the beach, the marina, in short he had bought a package and know they had none of these things and if this plat is approved then they will not have a golf course. He felt that he had been taken. Mr. Busch said he had no answer for a question of that sort put in such an argumanative manner Platt #3 is an answer to moving forward. Also the residents' problems are with the Company and is a private matter not be handled at a meeting such as this. This area was re- designed to meet the cost of assessment. Mr. Zelinka wanted to clear the record on the way he felt. He has not made up his mind and he doesn't make up his mind until he had all the facts. His questions to Mr. Marier were merely to get more information. Mr. Busch said the Company was agreeable to setting up another meeting at any date convenient with the Council. It is mandatory that this be done as soon as possi ble if it is to be put on the tax rolls for 1973. Also they cannot build model homes until the plat is approved. Since there is about 90 days from start to finish on a home, this put their showing of models off until sometime in February.
