public works facility and space to over 40 rvs or boat trailers on city owned
property at 104th street.The site is currently earmarked for a cost effective
housing development, but developer ed swift has indicated he is unlikely to move
ahead on his plans which happen to have been given one extension that will
expire by april. Wampler said the longhorn motel, owned by comfort cove resort

for deeding the property as affordable housing.The no interest loan have to be
paid back if the home were sold before the expiration of the 30 year term of the
contract, but would be forgiven at the bottom of that term otherwise.Cinque has
raised the potential of dropping the affordable deed restriction requirement
from the program. The fill ordinance would allow for the location of fill on
properties with a fill permit without also requiring a building permit on the
site, as is the on-Going method.The city has loads of fill material as a result
of the city wide sewer installation project, and council believes this ordinance
may help alleviate storage problems while the demand for fill has delivered in a
development slump that has seen little building.Council members and staff
attended to some resident concerns that the fill not be moved for storage on a
new site, and not adversely affect eco sensitive lands.
