He stated that with the extensive slope failure around the state this year, he and his wife are especially concerned with any new development proposed for this property. He feels that the possibilities for property damage, personal injury, and litigation do not warrant any type of development of the property. He suggested that since the site is contiguous to Kottinger Park, the City should consider purchasing the property in order to remove it from any future development possibilities. Dorothy Dow, 4219 Bevilacqua Court, stated that she has the same concerns now as she did in 1989 and 1990. She agreed with the comments expressed by Mr. Toman. In addition, she expressed concern with the water tank at the top of the hill, stating that not much of the hill can be removed without impacting that water tank. She stated that she is in support of staffs recommendation to rescind approval of the PUD.
