Diana Baker, 727 Belvin St, asked that the Council consider the Historic Preservation Committee's recommendations regarding architectural standards. Dianne Wassenich, 11 Tanglewood, addressed the proposed Smart Code height restrictions down town, and asked that the Council really think about how this could potentially change the face of the community. Ron Jager, 626 W. San Antonio, addressed the fact that he does not see the word `preserve' or `preservation' in the proposed SmartCode document, and asked to see clear definitions in the code civic space.

He stated that he was worried this was a `trojan horse' and that this appeared to be reducing the amount of parking required.
