vale Golf Course, realignment of residential areas adjacent to
the golf coursa and a proposal for a neighborhood commercial
center at the intersection of Valley View and Mitchell Roads com-
bined with a church site of 4.2 acres. Another change proposed
is the inclusion of a 160, 000 square foot mall shopping facility
at Mitchell/Valley View in the south quadrant.
The Council questioned whether it was appropriate to have a
shopping center so near to the Homart center site in The Preserve;
Mr. Peterson stated that he felt that there was a need for a cen-
ter close to the needs of the people in the area. He cited that
the Baker/Mitchell area would contain a planned grouping of a
service station, church and community neighborhood center. Mrs.
