Councilman Somers- stated, "I. am making, this. motion, in view of the Planning Commission's.action . to deny Amend ment No. 123. and Council Resolution. No. 5482. Howeve , I cannot agree w- ith.,the following. statement made-by Commissioner O'Brien.in explanation of his motion to deny..the Amendment: 'Because of a subsequent adoption of an amendment limiting the height limit in R -4 to 50 feet, most of -the reasoning;behind..the initiation.. of,this,re solution. is, no longer valid.' "This, is. just not so. You will recall .that. the reason for adopting Resolution No. 5482.was.to present a plan.which .would accomplish two things: 111. To limit. the building.h 'ght. limit on the Penin- sula to 35. feet.

To decelerate .. the potential growth population. on the Peninsula. "These-reasons. are. still 'valid'. Resolution No. 5482 ..:was adopted at,the.same time as the height.. limits, were approved, by the Council. The citizens of the Peninsula ,individually, and.through. at least two community associa- tions.are on record as. being, against 'high rise' buildings Presumably they felt that 'high rise' buildings would _create a.greater population. density,, add,to traffic prob- lems, and all :that go with -them. This. seems_ inconsistent with.their objections..to: the rezoning.

Perhaps this. study should be requested.of the Planning Commission, or possibly a - joint committee. of the Commission and Council,in.con- junction with.a citizens. advisory, committee, with. repre- sentatives.of:the.civic and business. associations. In, my opinion,.two.•things _ should .be done: "1. We, should plan the population. growth. in light. of the- geography so ,that we do not become over- populated. 112. We should provide additional ingress. and. egress to and. from the Peninsula.in..order to handle. the inevitable. sumoer traffic or restrict.ingress , by that traffic.
