e e - Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to approve Scheme No.7 as presented by The Luckman Partnership. Motion carried, with all Councilors present voting aye, except Mr. Haws voting no. Mr. Williams said he did not have any disagreement with the par- ticular scheme, but did question whether the Council should be spending public money as it is doing without finding out if the end product wi 11 be an auditori um. t1anager repl i ed there woul d not be any additional expenditure at this time other than the parking study in progress. B. Mr. Lieuallen reminded Council the entire financing to date had been done with room tax money, which had been directed to such a facility. He said it was impossible to know what such a facility would cost until that study had been done to see what the public wanted in the facility, and it was necessary to spend those funds to get to this point. He said if the spending were excessive, then Council would know it was going in the wrong direction. However, if the plan looked feasible, then Council should request support from the public. Mr. Haws said he did not feel there was public support for a bond issue, noting he felt the planning had gone too far. Request for Zone Change from AG to R-1: Property located south of Royal Avenue west of Danebo Avenue, east of Terry Street (Van}(Z 77-46) Unanimously recommended by Planning Commission December n, 1977. t1r. Saul sai d the proposed property had been annexed to the Ci ty in 1964, with the area containing 37 acres. If the zone change is approved, it will result in a development of single-family sub- divisions. The Planning Commission minutes and staff notes indicate both the General Plan and the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan recognize the suitability for low-density use of this land. He said during the public hearings before the Planning Commission some concern had been expressed of the potential increase of traffic on Terry Street. He said Terry Street is shown as an arterial and this property improvement will not necessarily necessitate improvement of Terry Street. Access will be from Danebo and another arterial that is part of the T-2000 plan. In response to a question from f1r. Haws, Mr. Saul said Danebo Avenue is designated as an arterial and there were no short-range plans for improvement within the next several years. No ex parte contacts or conflicts of interest were declared by Councilors. Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of December 6, 1977, were received as part of the record by reference thereto. 2/13178--3 '1
