Councilman Geving. The following voted in favor: Councilwoman Swenson,
Councilmen Neveaux and Geving. Mayor Hamilton and Councilman Horn voted no.
Motion carried.
Councilman Horn - This body takes away the function of the Planning Commission
in this case and I don't think we want to set that kind of
precedent. I think unless we enforce, with developers coming
in, the fact that they have to comply with Planning Commission
recommendations we might as well disband that body because
they are going to be completely ineffective and as far as the
continual references to the access on Highway 5, we have got
suckered into this thing last time the same way and I don't
think we will ever see that come out of there. I think the
access situation on Highway 5 is deplorable today and we are
making it worse. Highway 5 is our main artery and I think we
should do everything we can to protect it and I don't think we
did that.
Mayor Hamilton - This is definitely a Planning Commission item that should have
gone back to the Planning Commission. We have a Planning Commission
that is in existance to review these things and we have done I
exactly the same thing we did on Fox Chase.

DISTRICT: Arijs Pakalns, BRW, presented a feasibility study to evaluate what the
implications are and what the consequences are if the Council wanted to expand the
