He stated he disagreed with staff that the status of the~Amador <br /> Meadows project should not be discussed, and with the statement that Quail Creek is <br /> dealing with a very non-tried method of construction of manufactured homes. He stated <br /> that Quail Creek has assurance for financing and could begin construction as early as <br /> November, if approved.

The City Attorney advised the CC&R's <br /> have not yet been approved for this project. He stated that the homeowners associa- <br /> tion usually enforce the CC&R's.

He <br /> stated with the additional condominium projects presently under construction behind <br /> the Flair Market and along Vineyard Avenue, he felt there should not be any increase <br /> in this type housing at the present time. <br /> <br /> 3. 9/14/82 <br /> <br /> <br />
