6 <br />MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER <br />DEESON, TO UPHOLD THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING <br />COMMISSION PERTAINING TO ITEM #7 AS ADVERTISED. <br />COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER NOTED THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE <br />4A POPULAR COMMENT, BUT STATED HE BELIEVED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE <br />THAT WANT TO SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS AND CHANGES TO THIS COMMUNITY AND <br />THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENTED HERE TODAY. HE FELT <br />THERE IS A NEED FOR THE HIGHER DENSITY FOR THE MULTI -FAMILY TYPE OF <br />DEVELOPMENT AND NOTED THAT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS <br />NOT THE MOST ECONOMICAL AND FEASIBLE WAY TO GO INTO DEVELOPMENT. IT <br />IS BETTER TO CLUSTER THE HOMES AND HAVE MORE OPEN SPACE.

HE FELT SUCH DEVELOPMENT CAN BE DONE IN <br />A GOOD MANNER AND WILL NOT NECESSARILY DESTROY THE COMMUNITY. HE <br />FURTHER NOTED THAT THIS PROPERTY WILL EVENTUALLY COST SO MUCH THAT IT <br />WILL BE UNREASONABLE AND UNFEASIBLE NOT TO HAVE SOME MULTI -FAMILY <br />DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA, COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER POINTED OUT THAT <br />WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHANGES FOR THE FUTURE - NOT TODAY OR TOMORROW, <br />AND WHEN DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS AREN'T PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE, THEN <br />YOU MAKE MILLIONAIRES OUT OFA FEW PEOPLE. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE AGREED WITH THE -MOTION, AND <br />FELT THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A SPLIT <br />DECISION, REACHED THE RIGHT DECISION. HE DID'STRONGLY FEEL THERE WILL <br />BE A DEFINITE NEED FOR COMMERCIAL AND A BUFFER AREA HERE IN THE FUTURE, <br />BUT WE ARE NOT READY FOR THE CHANGE YET. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
