Further discussion from Council Person Upton who commented she hopes MMS will try to
accommodate the residents that are unhappy about this development. Resident Peterson: concern the
streets are clean with the mud coming out of that project in the spring. Ms. Happel: opposed to
development and it was sold that development area was single family, also Potter street is congested,
high density changes property value, and believes it is not a good plan for the city. Council Person
Phillips commented the plat is consistent with the zoning, but it was a mistake to zone it that way years
ago and that is why he voted against it.
