17 PUBLIC COMMENT:
18 Patricia Tuttle Brown spoke about the Southgate Project that was recently reviewed by
19 the Planning Commission. She raised four points 1) that the plan sent on to the Council ,
20 was revised by the applicant and not reviewed in advance of the public hearing by staff or
21 the Bicycle Committee, 2) that,an urban separator of 38 feet is unacceptable, the full 300
22 feet is needed, 3) that a quid pro quo exists with Basin Street and the offer of the fire
23 station site to be at the Casa Grande Motel property without any public discussion and 4)
24 that the property next to•Southgate•recently sold for a very high price which indicates that
25 the new owners are expecting the Urban Growth Boundary to be expanded.
