Myers thinks we should put this through so we do not lose the money the City put into this project two years ago. The commercial aspect is appealing due to requests from citizens for a hotel and increases the tax base. Cowart stated he supports the proposal because of the location, commercial development at the corner of Rock Road and 63 rd is a good plan, as there is a big hole there that the City is growing around. Avello stated that the City should look at the zoning on Rock Road first before agreeing to a letter of intent on the golf course. Don t look at the golf course making money right away, look at what is it going to bring you of commercial, restaurants and other companies.
More time comparing the two plans is the right way to go .
Warren stated he will vote against the motion because he needs more time, but likes the proposal. Mulanax would support a golf course, likes the location on Rock Road and 63 rd , but we need to look at the added infrastructure and debt. Downing stated that if we sign this letter of intent there is no requirement to go through with this. The commercial in Lusk s proposal will bring additional benefits to the City. Even though Lusk has made a few concessions for the City s benefit he would like to see a few more concessions.
