Family was the most restrictive zoning. He
advised Council that the client would probably
put manufactured homes on the property; and

further stated that the homes would probably
cost from $50,000.00 to $60,000.00.
Ms. Ann Kovich, Director of the Development
Department, appeared before the City Council
and stated that staff figures show that 1,129
units could be constructed, but this did not
take into consideration the 50' buffer, which
would reduce the number of units. She also
advised Council that if the applicant divides
the property into two acre lots, a septic tank
would be allowed and a permit would be
issued.
Council Member Picht called for the question.
