<br />11/3/83 <br /> <br />Page -2- <br /> <br />Councilwoman Morris <br />Relocation of Parcel B <br /> <br />Inquried of Mr. Alshuler if he would be <br />willing to relocate parcel B off the mesa. <br />Alshuler stated that he would certainly con- <br />sider it.. Felt that the problem now was that <br />they might have to swap a parcel,i.e. the <br />park site, as he was trying to arrive at <br />an overall density. Was willing to discuss <br />it and listen to our reasons and will try <br />and put forth his. At this point had not <br />made a formal presentation. <br />Councilwoman Morris commented that she had <br />heard some statements that would indicate <br />that there were some things that he could <br />not be flexible on and was curious if that <br />is still the case. <br /> <br />Mr. John Alshuler <br /> <br />Stated that he felt very strongly that they <br />need that parcel as an identity piece. Felt <br />that a major user could be brought in there <br />who can build an image piece type project. <br />Councilwoman Morris reiterated this wouldn't <br />make up for our open space. <br />Mr. Alshuer stated they essentially left <br />the open space the same as under the old plan. <br />It had just been reallocated. What they have <br />attempted to do is, even within that plan, is <br />create that feeling of open space by very <br />low densi.tities, budiling densities are quite <br />low - allowing for wide streets, parkways, <br />boulevard type streets. So there is going <br />to be a very open feeling to this even though <br />it is not what would be called open space <br />left in its natural state.. <br />Councilwoman Morris stated that she was not <br />implying that the open space has to be left <br />in its natural state. Felt uncomfortable <br />with certain parts of the plan - Parcel B <br />was one of those. Most of her concerns were <br />those on Administrator Wurl's list; another <br />of her concerns was building permits tied <br />to other uses. From Mr. Alshuler's remarks <br />he was wi.lling to work towards something <br />that would ease our fears, but asked if he <br />was willing to actually make that tie so that <br />we do have a firm commitment; that after <br />a certain period of time or a certain number <br />of residnetial units, we can expect to see <br />total focus on commercial? <br /> <br />Open Space <br />
