COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER QUESTIONED THE FEASIBILITY OF FILLING THE LAND TO MAKE IT USABLE, AUTRY THOMAS AGAIN DISCUSSED THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND THE DIFFICULTY OF FILLING IT TO MAKE IT USABLE, THE BOARD DISCUSSED RESIDENCES ALREADY LOCATED IN THIS AREA. COMMISSIONER DEESON INQUIRED ABOUT ANY REGULATIONS GOVERNING ELEVATION OF LAND, AND MR. BERG AGREED THAT LAND ELEVATION MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. HE STATED THAT THE PLANNING STAFF TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THE DIFFERENT LIFE STYLE IN THIS AREA AND TRIED TO COME UP WITH A HOMOGENOUS USE, WHICH THEY FEEL WOULD BE R-lE. AUTRY THOMAS STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS AREA LIMITED TO ONE HOUSE PER FIVE ACRES AND WAS CONCERNED THAT IF THIS PROPERTY WERE REZONED, OTHERS MIGHT ALSO DECIDE TO REZONE TO R-lE AND DEVELOP, COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER ASKED IF THE BOARD CAN QUESTION WHETHER IT IS FEASIBLE TO DEVELOP THIS LAND. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THAT SHOULD BE A CONSIDERATION, BUT POINTED OUT THAT REZONING IS JUST A FIRST STEP AND THEN THE DEVELOPER HAS TO MEET SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, WHICH HE FELT IS THE DEVELOPER'S PROBLEM. MR, LUKE STATED THAT FILL WAS HAULED OUT OF THIS PROPERTY RECENTLY AND POSSIBLY SOLD TO DR. FISCHER. MR. WILMOTH STATED THAT NO FILL HAD BEEN SOLD OR MOVED OUT OF THIS PROPERTY; THAT HE DID MOVE SOME FILL AROUND ON THE PROPERTY, BUT DID NOT ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO DO SO.

COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE HAS HEARD PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY ARE CLOSING IN ON US WITH ACRE AND A HALF LOTS, BUT STATED HE WAS CONCERNED THAT WE MIGHT END UP WITH A PIECE OF PROPERTY IN R-lE THAT COULDN'T BE USED. DISCUSSION CONTINUED AND COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER SUGGESTED TABLING THE MATTER UNTIL MR, LUETHJE CAN DETERMINE WHETHER IT IS 49 MAY 101978 Book 34 PAGE 403
