Session 1718, Minutes March 30, 1998 19 the planned development regulations are not intended to allow excessive densities or for the development of incompatible land uses, either within the development or as the development relates to the general neighborhood. Mr. Munkel has a fear that this would place restrictions on development in our community. Mr. Sharpe thinks we have to be very careful how this is worded. This could be perceived as a red flag. Mr. Schoomer would really like to look at consideration of a provision that might provide a fixed limit of variance and a definition of percentages of variance within the neighborhood. Mr. Ware agrees that we should come up with some definitive definitions because using this terminology, compatibility, abutting residential neighborhoods, you can make out of it anything you want. Mr. Wagner said that the language is already there. We are talking about adding abutting residential neighborhoods. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Mr. Wagner. NAYS: Mr. Munkel, Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Schoomer, Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Ware, Mayor Adams. Bill No. 8379 was defeated.
