Councilmember DeMirjyn said he was wondering of the propriety of doing this
and was wondering if they should have a committee again and have a consen-
sus. Councilman Gorman stated there had been an enormous amount of input
from staff, attorney, and the sub-committee. Dr. Roth said that as a mem
ber of that first committee he felt public committees have a place but ins}�u
`s not now. An ordinance is written and they are fine-tuning this ordi.nance, � t,)r
and now we have a time constraint.

Councilman DeMirjyn stated that Page 12, 5-D, is telling people what they
can do and suggested all negative points be removed and in exchange to ;ti��
require 10,000 to 15,000 square foot lots. ��
