I hove 0 B,A In urban studies In the School of Geography ond It's with thot In mind, with what I feel Is my home at stoke here, do I come before the council to present my pleo There ore severol orguments for and agolnst this subdivision, Walnut Ridge, Which will be 0 new type Of subdivision ollowlng for lorge lot homes to be built on the western edge of Iowa City as the crow files north of west high school between there ond Corolvllle and west of Hormon Hond Cart Park, The thing that mokes thIs subdivision different, Is not only the upscole homes thot Will be built there, but the levying of dollars raised by sewer tax rotes to pay for the sewer extensIon at this subdevelopmenl Southgate Development Is owned ond run by Moce Brovermon. As this community knows, Is going to develop 16B acres divided Into 10410ts, Now, 10m not agolnst development per Se.

With thot, I Simply urge the rezoning and hope we can get on with It. Any of you hove any Questtons Horowl I hove a Questton Hove you communicated any of this Informolton to the neighbors? Hove the neighbors been at the P/Z meeltngs so that you ore able to talk or listen Mullenl I hove only been at one hearing In front of PIl, Susan There was some neighbor parttclpatton there. As I recall, expressing concern about the general chorocter of the ground, Thotlt was wet and concern for how we con build a subdivision In that area that seems to be wet As you see from one of the condlltons here, It Is gOing to be a slab kind of development We must trust our engineers that we can do what we expec t we con do.

Lorson/ An Important thing to note although we are not conSidering thiS tonight Is that the engineers believe that t~e management Involved In having a subdivision creates a better management of the flow of the storm water. That having the stormwater deSign and the basin and evorythlng In thero will be better for the land because It will be managed. Horow! That's hard to really believe but I agree with you.
