He said he had some concerns with mixing the 1/2 acre and 9,000 sq. ft. lots on the plateau because of the disjointed nature of the mixture in that area now. He asked if the Council wanted him to work with PBR or whether the City was proposing to hire their own consultant to do an economic feasibility study.
