on August 28 and continued indefinitely to allow Council to have a workshop on
site which they did on September 29, lggo to view the individual home sites and
proposed road alignment. The one issue not resolved between staff and the
developer is whether the open space should be dedicated to the City in fee or as
an easement. Because of experiences where homeowners have destroyed the natural
habitat in open space easements on their property, staff reco~mr~ends it be given
in fee. Staff has also distributed a report showing revisions to the original
staff report.
