In one case he lost one and the other <br /> he voluntarily dismissed it. Ms. Thompson explained that the cases were about the <br /> interpretation of the Zoning Code in terms of density and how these appiy to someone <br /> else's property. She asserted that Mr. Bautista got due process and all these allegations <br /> are part of this court case and she believes that this Council has modeled the way to <br /> handle the outcome of either losing or winning, which is with graciousness and aplomb. <br /> Camino Delay, a senior at Sequoia High School, reported on a study he did with a grant <br /> from the Committee for Green Foothills (presentation on file). He specifically addressed <br /> concerns about density levels with the Cargill development and he does not find this a <br /> feasible project. <br /> Council Member Gee wanted to confirm that the City Council is not at liberty to <br /> comment on the accusations made by the prior speaker.
