<br /> C{.~uncilman Herlihy stated that as a Councilman he had to look at both sides

<br /> that the Elliott property will be developed in the foreseeable future, sewer
<br /> capacity problems, and the slower growth rate to the East. He added he felt
<br /> the application was valid but would like to have it referred back to the
<br /> Planning Commission for further review, and also to receive additional infor-
<br /> mation from Elltort regarding their development plans.
