$540,000 to the estimated expenditures of the General Fund
Contingency Account under the category "Non-Department

9. a. The Planning & Zoning Board at a meeting held on June 15th,
recommended by a vote of 4 to 2 (Carey and Wallin dissenting)
that the conditional use and site and development plan for
Old Harbour be denied for the following reasons:
(1) The appearance of the four, six story structures is too
regimented and monotonous, and too intense for this site.
(2) The six story height is not compatible and harmonious
with the predominantly low profile type of buildings
and structures either approved or existing on adjacent
and nearby properties.
(3) The design and general layout is not sensitive to the
existing site conditions, and does not adequately take
into account the ecological effects of the existing
lagoons and large varieties of tree specimens.
(4) The six story height exceeds the height limitation in
the proposed ordinance to be adopted by City Council.
Council, at the July 7th workshop meeting, scheduled this item
for the July 28th meeting.
