He reported that they had failed to reach a compromise with the home owners in St. Charles. A plan revised to seven lots was submitted. Mr. Jerry Rhodes, an attorney and resident, represented St. Charles Property Owners Association. He stated that the residents desired that the replat consist of only six lots. The basic objections to the proposal were against what they perceived to be a misrepresentation by the developer of the living environment to be expected in the subdivision, and an existing Bill of Assurance which offers them a minimum of protection. The Chairman called for a vote. A motion was made for approval of the revised plat. The motion was denied. The vote: 1 aye, 9 noes and 1 absent.
