Unless Council <br />was willing to give up part of that land, <br />there would be only access - ingress and <br />egrress to the development. <br />Comp Plan Ar.~other major issue is how this would fit <br />into the comprehensive plan. Administrator <br />Wu~rl stated the comp plan is a "broad brush" <br />in the area and is difficult to define <br />whether this area is in or out of the <br />developable area. The bulk of the property <br />i~; clearly in the area set aside for open <br />space on the north slope of the hill. But <br />tY:~is is a question of interpretation. <br />Councilman Leary Commented it appeared to him, given our <br />cL~rrent annexation policy that the issue <br />at: hand is the compelling benefit to the City. <br />HEM assumed the letter was addressing what <br />Mr.~ Oschsner felt -. the compelling benefits <br />are. <br />'tuck Ochsner Mr-.
