He would ask Council to please search their minds and conscience before they vote. He does not think it should be sold offright away. Let it operate as a golf course for a couple of years. Let Progressive ga to all the other big operators that own land there; there is plenty of Iand there for Progressive to take--they don't need to take the golf course. If they do, they had better not ask for rezoning. Also, regarding the reaoning matter did will be before the voters this fall -many voters don't know anything about that closed section on I-lighland Road so it probably won't pass. Enough is enough We don't have to pass property azound. That was envisioned to be used as recreation, open space and a golf course. He would ask Council to keep their word vtFhen they first got the option on the land. The people in the Village---especially those in Aintree and Kenwood-would.not appreciate that happening. Let's not sell the one parcel that belongs to the Village. The uifornlation he got at the Court today was tha.t it was going to happen at the end of October. Virginia Lawiey 6864 Hickory Hill Drive- said she is asking the same questions as Judge Grogan is. That Council take into consideration the peoplE who live in that area. If you ga down Ridgebury and look over to your right you can see Progressive. She does not want to come down her-street and face any building hce that. We heard they were going to put up homes instead. Their property is worth a lot of money; she does not want to see it go downhill. If Progressive goes in, they wiIl have a hazd time selling. They heard from sources the golf course was going to be Ieased for 5 years. They thought that possibly the people that live in the Village would get some kind of a break because they live in the ViIlage which is neither here nor there but she does not want to see big offices go up. There are piexrty on Alpha and Beta; we don't need them in our area. '
