Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing Council were:
*Tony Quezada, Roberrs Group. She read the following letter which she re-
quested to be incorporated into the minutes.
"Gentlemen:
The Roberrs Group, Inc. respectfully requests that the matter before
you~t~fJevening, the second reading of the zone change ordinance for
Planned Development No. 81-07, be continued for a period of 30 days.
We were ef the impression that the second reading of the ordinL. ~e would
not be held until such time as the revised site plan had been reviewed
by the Design Review Board. We have been involved in restudies of the
· .-. projectsand have in fact developed two alternative plans which we believe
~'."'/acc0mplf,~,~hree desired goals:
-1. .AlleViate .the concerns expressed by the neighboring residents.
2. Make the project more compatible with the adjacent single family tracts.
3. Make the project more cost efficient from a development perspective.
Because of the holiday interval, it was our intention to begin discussing
-th@se alternatives with the homeowners and city staff this week. Upon
learning of the scheduled public hearing, we thought it best to request a
continuance. so that there would be adequate time for all concerned to re-
view and consider our proposal.
· our concurrence with our request will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
THE ROBERTS GROUP, INC.
' o iQuezada
- Director of Forward Planning"
,J~ff S~eranka, 6211 Philips Way (just north of the project). He encouraged
Council tO reconsider their decision to reduce the density in order to keep
the cost of the homes to a minimum.
*Sheryl Moody, representing the homeowners association. She encouraged Council
not to Change their former decision, and to approve Ordinance No. 164 as amended
at the last hearing.
*Bruce Tripp, President to the Roberts Group. He stated that what they were
asking was for another opportunity to go over the project with the residents
in order to work our compromises and solutions which Council has decided as
appropriat~ which will take more time.
There:being no further comments from the public, Mayor Schlosser closed the public
hearing.
'Mayor Sc~'!osser expressed that he did not want to change the former decision.

Mr. Dougherty said a ~ontinuance for 30 days would allow for a number of options:
to approve the zone change as recommended or to deny it or to redesignate this
as some other type of zone. If' this~should occur, then another first reading would
