of the residents before action was taken; it was brought to our attention

and storage lot in conjunction with his business; Parcel #14, construct an
insrance and finance office to handle customer needs. The City Manager said

sell Parcel #14 at this time; 2. Mr. Webster be given first consideration
if City decides to sell Parcel #14; 3. Sell Mr. Webster Parcel #3 at $37,030,
on the basis of 10% down and balance monthly. The City Manager said on
March 22, 1966, Council adopted Ordinance 1126 approving the zoning for
Webster Pontiac and two motions made at that meeting; 1. Council approve
the sale to Webster;(motion failed) 2. Motion to lay over until proper
information brought to Council (motion carried). Councilman Hogue stated
Council failed to include assurance to the City as to the type of develop-
ment, to eliminate speculation. Councilman Colburn stated Webster Pontiac
wants the property for their future growth, but they could not commit them-
selves to building on the land within 180 days, although they have every
intention of using it. Director of Planning Stockman recommended deed
restrictions be placed upon the land that it be properly maintained, clear at
all times, including weeds and debris, until properly developed according
to plan and restricting the use to be compatible with that of a car agency.
