anybody connected with this controversy.

Since this was no5 discussed, it was not ready for Council action tonight.
Mr. Sanson added he told the City Manager's secretary, he didn't care if it
was ready, he wanted this item placed on the agenda, and he wanted a 30-day
deadline for the study committee to review Ordinance No. 2-76. It is now
over 'hhe deadline and he has received no communications from anyone on that
:o~ittee an~ added the postponement of the passing of this ordinance is
:,~using great difficulty in the Planning Departmenk.
Mr. Sanson moved that Council remove the Ordinance from the table,
and pass Ordinance No. 2-76 on second and final reading. The mo%ion died for

School Board has taken a firm. position that they do not provide facilities
until the need arises. Mr. Weekes stated he has confidence in the Planning
and Zoning Board's recommendations and would not question the unanimous
deci:~ion made by that Board. Upon question by Mayor Scheifley, Mr. Strock
stated this would be a family development. Mr. Sanson stated he concurs
with Mr. Weekes' statement and stated the Planning and Zoning Board only
considers the zoning aspect of the development; they do not consider the
impact of the development or the number of people in the co--unity. Mayor
Scheifley asked Mr. Wallin, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board, if
they considered the school factor in their d&cisJon. Mr. Wallin replied
this has been the School Board's answer for years, and the Planning and
Zoning Board does take into consideration the number of people. Upon

Mr. Sanson - Yes; Mr. Weekes - No; Mayor Scheifley - No. The motion was

scaping by the same. This property is located in Section 9-46-43 on the
south side of N. E. 8th Street between Palm Court and Dixie Boulevard.
Mr. Ed Kromer, 952 McCleary Street, informed Council the Board of Adjust-
ment tabled this item due to the absence of flood insurance. The City
Attorney stated the effect of not having flood insurance available is
that no federally insured lending institution would make a loan on a
dwelling in the City if it were disqualified. Since the Board of Adjustment
has not acted on this, it would be improper for Council to act at this
time.
Mr. Sanson moved that the item be tabled, seconded by Mr. Gomery,

effect this project could have on the destruction of vegetation which

lighLs, lie explained the developers have invented a light which will not

mined whether anything illeual has taken place on this p!ot of land.
Mayor Scheifley stated what Hr. Sanson means is the ordinance being
