Lorch welcomed Harry Rudisell to the Planning Commission. Granger — Rezoning 30 acres from RR1 to SFE Mr. Schoeller felt there should be some plans or feasability studies to determine whether the land could support that number of homes. After speaking with the dept. of Soil and Water Conservation, Schoeller was told that 25 acres of that land was rated as severe, which meant a 2' to 4' water level. The only areas suitable for building are the southeast and far west corners. Mr. Potts commented that the flood plain map shows the areas suitable for building. The Question of runoff and the water table would be addressed by three different government agencies. T_etro would not determine if sewer was needed, the city would make that decision. Also, after polling the residents at the last public hm.ring they said they had no objection to one acre homesites, now their opinions have changed. Mr. Potts also pointed out that rezoning is the most permanent adjustment to a community and that has been established for that area by the homes now in Oak Shore Park.
