Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, stated that he had reviewed the letter of agreement and found it to be satisfactory. Mr. Morison stated that what Mr. Horstkotte said was what was discussed this afternoon. President Mitchell informed Mr. l1orison that the location of the house on the land is no basis for the assessment--it is on benefit to the land as though there was no building on the land. He stated the District Board recognizes only zoning and deed restrictions. Mr. Horstkotte stated zoning must be recognized but the terrain is unique and zoning may specify half acre minimum sites but the ground may not permit half acre development. Mr. Horstkotte stated the agreement will not restrict the District in the future as it applies only to property to be assessed; details will be worked out before assessment. Mr. Horstkotte further stated all the area is in the improvement proceedings but some will be given zero assessments and it is the manner in which the property develops which determines the future rebate charges. Member Fisher said the proper thing to do is to define this as a half acre minimum. Mr. Morison stated that deed restrictions are not part of the agreement at this time and the determination as to size of land allowed a single assessment would be half acre. 01 16 64 .of .., n President Mitchell explained the basis for formation of Assessment District No. 43 and the basis for the assessment on the properties.

President Mitchell explained to the people present that the engineer will determine the number of building sites, they will have the right to protest the engineer's determination, and the Board will act as a Board of Equalization. The letter of agreement was referred to Counsel for the District for determination of legality; the staff can then proceed to develop details.
