Dugan noted he thought the Planning Commission recommended denial of the plat because of problems inherent in those kinds of agreements.

Seabrands indicated there had been two public meetings. Whittall indicated he had trouble with anyone other than the Harness Club benefitting from the improvement. Craig stated the issue before the Council was whether or not to approve the improvement as amended . Bereiter indicated if no action were taken Ordinance 3927 would remain as is . Whittall wondered if Ordinance 3927 could be repealed and throw open negotiations again. Larson stated if Ordinance 3927 was repealed it would say the Harness Club must build 30th Street or they would not open.
