Mr. Schoneman alL so stated the project was a good one but perhaps there could be another area that it could be built and then the people moving in that area would know that it was going to be there before they settled near it.

Mr. Moriarity then requested permission to make a suggestion as a representative of the Conifer Company. Mr. Moriarity suggested a contract be prepared with the provision for a 100 foot setback that could be landscaped to fit in with the surroundings eliminating all structures on this land. The Council felt this an ideal answer to the problem. Mr. Morgan stated he felt this would be quite satisfactory. Motion by Commissioner Clark and Commissioner Schoneman to instruct the City Attorney to prepare an Ordinance stating this provision, under discussion, Commissioner Scho- haman inquired if the provision for no buildings being built on the 100 foot setback would be a convenant for any and all future owner's of this property.

Morgan thanked the Council and Mr. Moriarity for their cooperation in this matter. .Mr. Bill Cates of Saunders Road, addressed the Council and Mr. Schoneman re: the re- pair of Sa~ders Road.
