11/3/83 Pa~e -4- development, the City would allow them to build so many units and then if they didn't produce their allocation goes down to what- ever council would decide. But if they did produce the commercial and office re- search then they should be given a percentage increase of residential building permits. Another concept of developing had been dis- cussed i.e. when a piece of residential property is developed, a like piece of commercial/ office research must also be developed, which included streets and other improvements. Felt that Mr. Alshuler so far has demonstrated a a great willingness to work out something that seems to be equitable to both parties. Didn't feel all these details could be worked out this evening; therefore had scheduled the two work sessions, with a possible third. Councilman Leary Commented that. all kinds of .scenarios had been tossed around in various groups, but wanted to make clear the reason council was doing this is that they are trying to pro- tect the fiscal integrity of the City; and that trying hard and getting a reward for trying hard is not within that context. So it has to be an issue of delivering or essentially impacting that fiscal situation. Councilwoman Morris Reiterated that she still felt uncomfortable about putting the ordinance out of publication and a public hearing set for December 6th, as there were still major issues not resolved. Felt that council needed as much public input as possible. She had received some input from people who have come to the Planning Commission meetings and talking with her on the street. People are telling her that what has been presented so far is not acceptable for a lot of different reasons, i.e. the location of Parcel B, residential densities, our permit numbers and tieing it to other uses. These main issues needed to be somewhat formulated so that when somebody asks what the public hearing is about she will be able to give them the basics. Didn't understand why all this was being rushed - thought it needed to be done cautiously, as the Homart Develop- ment was one-third of our City.
