The Planning Commission felt that the matter was of sufficient importance to warrant further review. It was decided that the City Attorney would investigate the matter and submit a report of his findings back to the Planning Commission. Next, Sheila Thompson of the League of Women Voters, informed the Planning Commission that their study group plans to review the Safety Element of the City. However, their schedule has been very busy and they will not be looking at this project until April. If the Commission plans to go ahead with review of this element at this time, they will make their comments directly to the City Council. Chairman Butler stated that the public hearing on this case will be opened later tonight, but that the matter will probably be continued until the next meeting.

The property is zoned R-1-6500 and R-1-20,000 and would need to be rezoned before the proposed subdivision could be considered. Since the property is quite steep, with an average slope of about 25$, the proposed subdivision would be more appropriate for flat land. The pre- liminary grading plan submitted shows the necessity for excavating 290,000 cubic yards of earth in conjunction with the subdivision.
