Comments of individual members were read or voiced to other members of the
Planning Commission. A summary is attached and will be a permanent part of
these minutes. After a complete review --Mr. Jack Evert made the motion the

ventional subdivision design and does not comply with the one acre minimum
lot size. The Planning Commission's opinion of the hearing held on April 5,
1971 is that the majority of adjacent property owners emphatically objected
36 to 0. They based their objections to the proposed development ont he
grounds that the environmental effect would not be in the best interest of
the public and could threaten their property values, safety, health and
general welfare..

a possible conflict of interest.) E. LeClair arrived to late to vote.
