been working with Thirsk on the planning of this property.
Mr. Kaufram stated that after meeting with Mr. Faires, the
previous City Manager and the current City Manager and
obtaining information about the city' s master plan, current
zoning and other information they have tried to take the key
points in the city' s comprehensive plans and work them in
while matching the surrounding zoning so the zoning they touch
the neighbors with will be equal to or of higher zoning. Mr.
Kaufram pointed out on the map where they were planning the
zoning of retail and business. He stated they were trying to
buffer their business from the existing residential with their
own residential and what they are proposing is a plan that
meets the criteria of providing a variety of housing types,
meets the zoning of the surrounding properties and would
provide a development that would be a credit to the city.

for this item. James Griffin asked if there were any
provisions for parks. Mr. Chaney informed Mr. Griffin that
this would be taken up during the platting of this property
