Joseph I. Bentley, 6009 Scotmist Drive, and Richard Batt, 6028 Scotmist Drive,
representing the officers and residents of the homeowner association, presented a
petition to Council opposing approval of the Tentative Tract Map 31871 and offered
some alternatives to the existing and proposed problems in approving the conver-

restrictions could be enforced and the units be restricted to adult living.
Following discussion, it was moved by Mayor Ryan, seconded by Councilman Ruth,

Dyda but failed with Councilmen Ruth and Ryan and Mayor Ryan voting in opposition.
It was then moved by Councilman Buerk, seconded by Councilman Dyda for discussion,
that the motion be amended to include an amendment to the conditions that the con-
dominium be for adults only, and that this be a provision of the C.C. & R's. The
motion failed with Councilmen Ruth and Ryan and Mayor Ryan voting in opposition,
