Bream stated that he lived here for a long time and he likes it here, but town does need to look for someplace for growth. He stated concern that can't have growing town and strong fire department if do not have growth someplace. Brown asked Chris Rohret if she was concerned about growth in general or just where the growth might take place. Chris Rohret stated that she did not want to see growth to the north because of increased traffic and noise. Brown pointed out that someone else would probably be against growth if it was in their part of town. Chris Rohret stated that people's goals and interests are different. Darla Bartels stated that there was a problem with parking on the side of the road on the hill now. Potter stated that if it was a problem she could ask the council to designate "no parking" places on Roberts Ferry Road TePaske stated that the city could have strict internal control of existing development; a classification system for internal standards, developer sharing of costs, designated parks and open spaces. The fringe area study could designate development by stages, such as 20 acrea at a time, and that reviews could be taken after each stage before more development is permitted. Council does not need to open whole area up at one time. Brown stated that development could only happen after services are extended. TePaske stated that the subdivision code dealt with water, sewer and streets. The city could make arrangements with the developer for an escrow to defray ongoing costs of streets, etc. Stoffer stated 30 to 40 homes per year in this area is probably all that the market could take. The 160 acres could represent growth over the next 30 years. He also stated that there could be an access to highway 6 from Summerhays Street. Potter stated that an exit onto Summerhays Street could take care of a lot of problems. Cox stated that a lot of the traffic would not come through Tiffin on RobertsFerry Road if there was another exit. Stevens expressed concern that the street would be too long to that area.
