_ M the contractual purchaser of the property and the applicant. He wished to reserve a little time for rebuttal at the end of this public discussion. While he knew the Board was familiar with the property, he wished to point out that the present zoning is RM -6 along the corridor that goes down Oslo Road. They are bordered on the north by a density of 6 upa and northerly of that by a permitted density of 10 upa, but he suspected that the actual density is something higher than that. Commissioner Bird interjected that he felt that statement needed to be corrected. Perhaps the permitted density in Forest Park Subdivision is 6 upa, but he didn't feel the actual density is that high. Attorney O'Haire stated that they are here to ask for no more than the permitted density of their neighbors. Staff has identified buffering as one of the alternatives, which is something that has been used in the past, and Grove Isle comes to mind. The difference between the RS -6 (to the north) and RM -6 is simply building type, not density. They could, and he is here today to say that they would, provide a corridor of RS -6 along their northerly boundary. He believed the depth at Grove Isle was 100 feet, and they would be glad to do that here, too, to provide a transition within their own boundaries from one building type to the other. He agreed wholeheartedly that we have to plan for the future, but he hadn't understood Utilities Director Terry Pinto to say that the wastewater capacity was not there. For the record he wished to ask Director Pinto if there is capacity albeit on a temporary basis there, and Director Pinto replied, "On a temporary basis, yes." Attorney O'Haire understood it is basically on a first-come, first -serve basis and sooner or later, as development orders are issued, capacity will cease"to be there unless you do something. He asked if that was right, and Director Pinto answered, "Yes." JUL 171990 28 ROOK 8
