-5- Shimota: I feel that in order to be valid, the soil borings shouldn't be made by the land owner. Also does the 95f acres include the road and three acre park? Spitzer: It is general _practice that the land owner may take his own tests and submit them to the building inspector and if there is any reason to feel that they are not valid, they are required to have them done professionally. Yes , the 95* acres does include the road and park. M.Cammack: Isn't your whole Conservancy zoning going to be in jeopordy if you make this change? Next, five acre sites will be allowed. Spitzer: In agricultural zoning, ten acre sites are allowed; five acre lots are not . The point of . issue is whether this particular piece of property should have been zoned agricultural rather than Conservancy. Schwab : There is a piece of property north of town zoned Conservancy, containing 60 or 90 acres with only two building sites on it. The rest of the land has a very high water table with only a couple knobs high enough for a building site. Thisis a good example of Conservancy zoning. Hardwood Creek is a good example of Conservancy. Spitzer: We are particularily concerned about drainige. Moe: Inquired if he could rezone to RR2. Spitzer: No, according to the comprehensive plan, in that area zoning is to be no less restrictive than agricultural. The reason for that zoning, is so that on-site sewer systems will not be unduly taxed, and for that reason, the eastern part of the city has been held for open space and very low density. Mr.Shimota : Please explain the easement for the future road. Moe : Planning Commission asked me to dedicate some land for a future road which would be adjacent to Mr. Ehret and Mr.Streich's boundary so that a road could someday be built there in the event either of these men dubdivided their land.
