He stated the residents are happy that this land isdeveloping; they do not pant to stop development, but, want the development to retain the quality of the neighborhood. He reviewed the development plans at City C titerx today and is concernedtt at the deve .00m nt pro- posals o- po al for the property to the east should be considered b the Clay Council at the same time as the Holiday-. > Burger Kingf and the neighborhood shopping center being consider- ed. He stated he was told that these proposals were gong to the Planning Commission as a "packagedeal") so all of the proposals should be heard at the same time for more com- plete consideration of development in this area;.

Na stated commitments were made by City officials through the years that, the guiding would be observed and the early planning for the area maintained. He stated the guiding provides a shopping area for the neighborhood# however, if the proposed uses bring in ousyomers from all over the metro area, it is no longer a neighborhood shopping area. i,1 . Jensen stated t 'zat the Holiday ta,;zon More is a con- venience store; smaller than the Highways 55 facility' and, is designed for quick pick-up shopping and gasoll.ne sales versus the Holidays Plus which is designed for consolidated shopping over a` longer period of time.. He noted that, the number of gallons sold and volume of gasoline delivered to the store is proprietary information, and hc- would not care to comment on tris.
