The Chair then recognized Mr. Clair Andersen, who
stated he was really rather appalled that this Village
has seen fit to take as large a piece of property that
is under private ownership and to rezone it in a few
weeks time, possibly as a little as four or five weeks,
without even once asking the owner of-this property to
sit down and discuss this zoning and its future develop-
ment.
Mayor Lewis then posed four questions to Mr. Andersen.
These questions and Mr. Andersen's replies are as
follows:

QUESTIONS TO
MR. ANDERSEN
& HIS REPLIES
Mayor Lewis: Did I understand you to say that the owner
was not invited to partake in a plan for these
areas that are in discussion in this particular
ordinance?
Mr. Andersen: I have never heard of any planning program for
these areas, Mayor.
Mayor Lewis: Was the land owner ever asked if he wanted
to work with the Village in these three
areas in question for a comprehensive plan?
Mr. Andersen: May I ask which three areas you are talking
about, please Mayor?
Mayor Lewis: The three areas concerned are north o£ Teal
Way, the oceanfront and Big Munyon Island,
and primarily north of Teal .Way.
Mr. Andersen: As to the area north of Teal Way, the two
different times that I am aware of where __
discussion was had that I can recall at this _-
time, or discussion was had relative to this,
was when you and the Village Manager and I met
along with another employee ,of our company, at
which time I exhibited a proposed plan of
development. I told you at that time it was
very preliminary, that we were proposing it in
its preliminary state to elicit your response.

Mayor Lewis: Did you ever come back to myself, the City
Manager or the Council at any other time with
anything other than this preliminary drawing?
Mr. Andersen: No sir, because we did not go further with it at
that time. The only other time that a discussion
was had about this was when we discussed the-
possibility of leaving the zoning as it was until
such time as a planned development was prepared,
which we offered to do. We also said that we would
not make application for any additional building
permits during the period of 90 days which we wanted
to have to prepare a plan for this area.
Mayor Lewis: Did you agree to stop building where you are building
now?
Mr. Andersen: No sir,- we did not.
