addressed the concerns expressed by the neighbors including drainage,
access road and vehicle congestion, lowering of the house values and
density. He commented on the staff recommendation that there be no
more than seven units on the panhandle which is in keeping with the
General Plan for the density for single family residential and to have
those units adjusted subject to Zoning Administrator approval into the
area where they can be maintained under the General Plan at low
