land for low income housing because of traffic congestion, overcrowding of schools, and
increased potential for flooding.
Mr. Scott Toll, 1535 Price, presented a petition signed by those opposed to this development and
expressed concerns that rentals will change the quality of life.
Mr. Steve Engles explained that the State Housing Commission turned down DeHarder's request
for funding and expressed concerns that they have never come forward on behalf of the
development.
Dr. Jeffrey Patton, 659 Sylvan, stated he was opposed to the development because of tra�c
problems,undesirable people, homes not well maintained, crowding in schools, waste of taxpayer
dollars, aesthetic value and decrease in property value.
Dr. David Crow, 1420 Sylvan, stated that a school is to be built near this development, and the
school will be doomed by being located near public housing.
Mr. A1 Hoskins stated that the city has pinned down Boyd Gaming on their proposed
development in Cape and the city should do the same with DeHarder.
Mr. Malcolm Montgomery, 609 Pieronnet, expressed concerns with the 3.32 acres reserved for
future development.

Mr. Sam Drusch stated the Council has a limited scope to determine what goes on the property.
Their charge is to decide whether the plat complies with city ordinance.
Mayor Spradling explained the history of the zoning of this property. When approving the plat,
the Council cannot take into consideration the impact on schools, traffic, etc. In the final
development plan stage, DeHarder must present a stormwater plan, comply with present building
and zoning codes, use city licensed contractors, and install or escrow the improvements.
Mr. Malcolm Montgomery requested the issue be tabled until the citizens can investigate whether
or not the Council has the right to deny or approve the preliminary plat.
Mr. Eggimann made a motion, seconded by Mr. Spradling, to approve the preliminary plat of
The Capes. Mr. Gateley questioned when city staff started working with the DeHarder group
on this development and whether the Council has the authority to ask Planning and Zoning to
review the plat and reduce the number of units. Kent Bratton explained the history of contacts
with this group, and Eric Cunningham stated that the only discretion the council has is to approve
the plat if it complies with city ordinances. Mr. Eggimann explained his views on the matter and
that this type of housing is needed in the city. Mr. Williamson also stated his views on the
matter and emphasized that this is only a preliminary step in the process. After discussion, the
motion was approved upon the following vote: Ayes, Eggimann, Gateley, Kasten, Neumeyer,
Rickard, Spradling, Williamson. Nays, none.
Mr. Keith Russell appeared regarding the recommendations of the Chazter Review Committee.
He requested that the issues presented in the recommendations be placed before a vote of the

the City Charter be placed on the April, 1996, ballot. After discussion, the motion was approved
upon the following vote: Ayes, Eggimann, Gateley, Kasten, Neumeyer, Rickard, Spradling,
