What the council is protesting is the lack of concern the county seems to display regarding the wishes of the city. Another point, said Mayor Bryce Lynn, is that the county seems to have no record of an agreement the county and city had concerning the citys designated planned growth area near Burraston Ponds. It happened six years ago. said Lynn. It should have been recorded. At that time, he said, the countv wanted the city to indicate which areas of the county the city would likely expand into. The intended project was to map those areas set aside as potential growth. Glenn Greenhalgh (county planning commission director) said he hits no record of anything that you. Mayor Lynn, signed. said Harry Newell, city council member. The subdivision project is being planned by two developers who currently it on the county planning commission-Ji- m Mc- Williams and Paul McPherson. "Glenn Greenhalgh said he did not dispute the fact that you.

We are trying to keep to the block plan for our frontage roads and for our streets." said Kay. "We want them to all line up with the existing streets." Another concern is that water system lines, which might interconnect if the new development' are eventually part of the city, be kept to city standards. Kay said that the size of blocks is also a concern. We also do not want the county to approve growth west of the railroad tracks," said Kay. "If we are forced into building a sewer system as a community it w ill be because of growth west of the tracks." At this point, the city is desirous, because of finances, of staying on the septic system. "What was the purpose of designating a potential growth area if it was not to be honored?" asked Allen Pay, water muster. "Glenn Greenhalgh did say that, if we were to come to the county in a spirit of cooperation, they might see if the designated growth area might bo expanded," said Newell.
