11/3/83 Page -5- Mayor Meier Stated that he did not agree that this was being rushed thru, as it has been in the pro- cess since April and when the proposal was made Planning Commission was asked to comment on it as well as council. Councilwoman Morris commented even though the proposal had been presented in April, there were still major issues that needed to be dealt with and until these were resolved did not feel a public hearing should be set. Mayor Meier agreed that council had to make some policy decisions as far as density and the corporate parcel but he assummed that the news media would be there and report it to the public so that public input can be on a very informed basis. Councilman Leary Design Guidelines Councilman Leary inq~ired of Mayor Meier what he would see resolving the density issue that seems to be a concern of most people. Obviously one way it has been proposed is through. design guidelines. Was fairly skeptical that they can acommplish what we are trying to accomplish. Is there felxi- bility in these densities? John Alshuler Replied there was, but couldn't tell him that he was going to lower them from 12 to 5. Felt there was a definitional problem on some of the densities and would like to take this up at the study session. Was his opinion that they could accomplish something that would be satisfactory to all concerned and in conjunction with the design guidelines. Stated that he would like to come at it at both ends because he felt the design guide- lines were certainly needed on some of the parcels on the mesa. Study Sessions Mayor Meier reminded councilmembers of the two study sessions on November 10th and November 22, 1983 on the Homart Plan.
