outdoor tennis court. The units are intended to be for retirement
age individuals and couples.
The plat presented was changed from the original preliminary plat
as outlined above to a proposal with 76 units at 5.7 units per

Concerns of the public: The public objected to the possibility
of construction vehicles using Monarch or Amanita Street to access
LaRue Acres. The design with walls, fences and berms is not
compatible with the existing neighborhood, and will have a
detrimental impact on the community and values of homes. Other
concerns were with the water in the area and traffic generated by
this subdivision and the extension of Palmetto to State St. They
also objected to the violation of the new comprehensive plan in
which the area is designated Medium density, 4 units or less.
Public hearing closed at 8:30 p.m.
The Commission discussed the proposal, the traffic, heavy
equipment, ponds and change in the comprehensive plan. In order to
satisfy the recently adopted comprehensive plan the subdivision
would be restricted to approximately 61 units. They expressed
concern about the parking area for the club house and lack of space
for RV' s, boats, etc in the development. They suggested a
Development Agreement be initiated.
Moved by BRADLEY and seconded by BRINTON to approve the application
for LaRue Acres Subdivision with a zoning of R6, no variances.
That the PUD/CUP allows for private streets inside the project with
the security requested. That this motion is subject to the legal
opinion or change from the City attorney. As to any variance to
the comprehensive plan that and the public street issue is subject
to legal opinion and Council. To require a development agreement.
ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
