little more." Bob Hall referred to disagreement at the last meeting resulting from the issue of disincentives. He questioned what might be reasonable incentives and design criteria for the various colors. As an example, he said in this area we would like to see this form of development. If you develop this way, we offer expedited review (or something similar) as in incentive. He said he thought the group needed to talk with more large landowners in the area. Elio Soldi said he thought the group had pretty much agreed upon the color scheme, but apparently this wasn't the case. This needed to be done first.

Now that they were being discussed he felt they fit well with what could be accomplished in a fair way. He said he liked them and thought it was moving in the right direction. Elio Soldi mentioned that the proposal that Lee Rafalow had drafted for the subcommittee to consider tried to get away from disincentives. He felt Flexible Development offered incentives and that some of those had been incorporated in the proposal. Verla Insko asked for two more volunteers to work with the Implementation Subcommittee in refining the proposal. Dan Teichman removed himself from the subcommittee because he had been unable to attend previous meetings and work constraints would prevent future attendance. Clint Burklin and Dan Kenan volunteered to serve on the subcommittee. Lee Rafalow announced that schedule constraints 11
