opposition of the project: Ms. Miller.

the quality of the prolect. He would like to see the tenant identified on the corner
monument sign.

major tenants on the corner monument was appropriate.

storage. Councilmember Deines said his concern is that there are lots of storage
units in the area. Councilmember Deines said when he was campaigning, he
knocked on a lot of doors in Heritage Lake and since he has been elected, he is
their vorce. He said there are concerns about sales tax and with the City forming
a Police Department, the City will need the sales tax. He said that there will be
traffic, which will be an issue with the school. He said there are worries about
property values and concerns about homelessness being that close to the
elementary school. Councilmember Deines said he attended the first community
meeting with the developers and there was opposition from the residents. He did
not attend the second meeting because he did not know about it.
Councilmember Deines said shopping is a concern for residents in Heritage
Lake. He understands the reason for the project, but his constituents are not in
favor of the project and he cannot support it.
Mayor Pro Tem August said the pro.ject went through the Planning Commission.
He said the storage facility is needed. Mayor Pro Tem August said he would ask
for approval of the poect and to let the applicant have the monument sign.
Mayor Zimmerman said he appreciated the Planning Commission vetting the
prolect. He said it hurts the City to lose sales tax generating opportunities and
this project will help spur the project. Mayor Zimmerman said he has concerns
about seeing just a storage unit in five years with tumbleweeds on an empty lot.
He added he hopes that Rancon will be good on their word to develop the other
phases.

the pole will stay anyways, the other lines should not have to be under
grounded. He asked if the condition requirement could be removed.

remain on the pole because the 115 lines and the pole will have to stay in
