Chairman Nelsen opened the public hearing on the revised Environmental

The Secretary reported that hearing notices had been advertised as
required by law and that the developer had submitted a revised plot
plan for the project consisting of fewer units in both the condominium
and mobile home sections of the project.
Dr. Telford asked whether a new hearing notice was required for the
revised plan. Staff indicated that it was not.

purpose of the hearing.
Bill Dawson, developer of the project, explained the revised site plans
and discussed the answers to the thirteen questions raised by the Board
at the study session.
Chairman Nelsen requested public comment on the project. None were
received either for or against the project.
Board discussed the project and asked staff, the developer and the
audience several questions relating to the relocation assistance and
rent SubSidy program; concern about the 'lack of pub'tic comment against
the project. Chairman Nelsen asked the staff to determine if the park
and recreation fee schedule could be changed before this project and
whether a delay by the EQCB could help.
Dr. Telford said he would like to hear from the opponents of the project.
He met several people in the trailer park who said they opposed the
project but were afraid to speak out.
Several members of the audience, residents of the present trailer park,
expressed their support of the project and took issue with Dr. Telford's
statement that people were afraid to speak out.
The public hearing was recessed until Thursday, September 1,1977, at
7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.
