6
7 The City Manager noted that there is a potential of having
8 fifteen acres of developable land at the Lowry Grove Trailer
9 Court . This will not include the space for the holding pond.
10 He suggested this may be an issue to be addressed by the Task
11 Force.
12
13 There appears to be some interest among developers. The City
14 Manager had contacted two large developers and will contact
15 the Wexford Heights developer
16
17 Some rezoning may have to be done as some of the area is zoned
18 commercial . The City Manager felt development would progress
19 quicker if the City is the facilitator for development rather
20 than the owner of the trailer court .
21
22 Mayor Ranallo reviewed the criteria for the task force make up
23 and requested members of the City Council to present their
24 nominations to the City Manager.
25
26 Councilmember Enrooth advised the Council of an acquaintance
of his who could be of great service to the Task Force. The
40 Councilmember felt this resident should serve as an ex officio
29 member of the Task Force rather than a member. He has
30 expertise in development , would serve well as a resource
31 person and in an advisory capacity. Some members of the City
32 Council felt this person should serve as a member of the Task
33 Force.
34
