Report of Attorney Mayor Linke stated the extension has been discussed before several times, and it has been the intention of the Council to leave the area open, and he recommended sending the request to the Planning Commission for their review, and also have a letter sent to the affected residents in the area, informing them of this proposal for development, and if they are interested _ in subdividing their property, they should attend the Planning Commission meeting.
