6/18/84 Page -8- A~isninistrator Wurl stated that was up to Council. He was just explaining to them wYiat needed to be done to make the connec- tion work. Mi-. Haas stated he didn't ever see this a:~ being a problem. Also stated that he had met with all the councilmembers and hE~ was unaware of any problem. They are talking about building homes in the $250,000 to $300,000 range and they are willing to buy 74 acres and give back to the City 60 ac;res of the land. Therefore, he did not sE:e what the big problem was here. Felt tYiat it was a mountain made out of a mole hill argument. If the City wished to buy tYie 74 acres this evening that could be done; but he felt after meeting with all tYie councilmembers that he made their position perfectly clear that it wasn't a big problem. He felt it was a good plan. TYie City would have a good builder and he had pictures of what he has done and can do. HE: didn't understand the mixup this evening acid complaining about everything that are attempting to do. He felt they were doing everything possible to work with the City. Councilman Cussen Wished clarification on the number of homes proposed to be built. TYie reply was 32 on approximately 15-16 acres acid they could agree to 10 building permits per year over a 3 year period. Councilman Cussen stated that he was aware tYiat Mr. Haas had spoken with various councilmembers and he had talked with him on one occasion. At the time Mr. Cussen si:ated that he had informed Mr. Haas that the City was in the process of implementing a policy on annexations, and he was looking for the compelling benefit. He was hearing Mr. Haas say that the compelling benefit to the City is the land that would be dedi- cated for the expansion of the reservoir. Mr. Cussen was also seeing some difficulty with the land that would be dedicated to the City in terms of expansion to the reser- voir; but they never really talked about the parcel that would be needed for igress egress into the area. This may sound like a small~iparcel of land but it was his under- standing that this also was for the expan- sion of the reservoir.
