<br />MAYOR DEMOS: Is there anyone else that wishes to be <br />heard? <br /> <br />MARIE HINZ, 2995 West Owasso Boulevard (Spoke before): <br />I was told if I wanted to get a variance that I should wait, <br />but I was wondering if I should do it now. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: <br />close the hearing. <br /> <br />Thatls unrelated. At this time I wmll <br />The Council can make its deliberation. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN ANDERSON: I have lived in the village probably- <br />getting to be quite a few years now. I moved in in 1954. I'm <br />in my second house. I live across the street from where I <br />originally moved in. I got on the Planning Commission in 196~. <br />lIve either been on the Planning Commission looking at these <br />things or been on the Council ever since except for a two year <br />vacation that I had at the insistence of you folks when you <br />wouldnlt re-elect me, and really, this project doesn't look <br />any different than an awful lot that lIve seen before. My <br />feeling is that this development may not be too beneficial <br />to some of the individuals there, but when I think of the <br />city as a whole, I think thatls an excellent project. I think <br />for the city thatls the way we should develop. I have seen <br />people just like you out here in the audience complaining <br />bitterly because the guy that owns the property back in there <br />wants apartments and there were things that we had to take <br />under consideration. My feeling on a residential development <br />on a piece of property like this is excellent and if the motion <br />is going to be carried tonight, 11m going to vote in favor of <br />it. lIve never yet in all my time up here serving the public <br />voted the way the people in the audience come up and just because <br />they're one way, or just because they threaten they're not going <br />to vote for me the next time around - that donlt cut any ice <br />with me at all. I listen and I try to hear the point youlre <br />talking about, but I didnlt hear enough points tonight that <br />could make me vote against this project, so when it comes time <br />to vote, I will vote in favor of it. <br /> <br />FROM THE AUDIENCE: (inaudible) Northern States Power <br />(inaudible). <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN ANDERSON: And that doesnlt cut any ice with <br />me either. <br /> <br />-41- <br />
