<br /> : :Bnt it was outspokeu.resideut Doris Canniff who hest summed
<br /> ;'!P the thoughts of 70 or so residents who crowded council
<br /> "ohambers. . "We. just don't: want it." Canniff said to applause.
<br />I ):Who says we have to build on every square foot of land we
<br /> :bcive?n
<br /> ;';The only probJem with. her argument is that the land belongs
<br /> 'lIot to the city or the residents but to Ogren, who according to
<br />I :(,jty staff has met or exceeded a1l city requirements to build the
<br /> :tljwnhomes there.
<br /> :;:, Since he first i:utroduced the townhome project earlier this
<br /> :year, he has modified plans, scaled down the development. hy
<br />I .\:W<r. townhomes, reconfigured the access road and cul-de-sac
<br /> ;and .allowed a plethora of agencies and groups a look-see to
<br /> ~IDake- sure hels doing nothing wrong.
<br /> . ,.. .Even so, with four of five votes of the fulJ council needed to
<br /> ,.
<br />I ,aEprove, the planned unit development concept, residents.
<br /> !haven't given up yet. Earlier this week, they circulated fliers
<br /> .tutging.residents to call council-members and voice their views_
<br /> I :That input is' likely to sound a lot like Canniff's comments
