are too hard to vacate when future developments occur, and the people do not like to see them vacated. Commissioner Johnson pointed out that this is a somewhat unique situation, and the density and traffic issues are not issues that the City is faced with on a regular basis. Community Development Director Frolik asked for clarification on the parking requirements on the private streets. Public Works Director Kapler stated there would be no parking on either side of the private roads and there would parking nodes provided within the development. Mr. Bulow stated he was willing to sign the private roads for no parking, as there is plenty of room for parking nodes within the development. commissioner Dempsey noted his preference for option//4, and k will eliminate the potential of traffic coming and going through the existing neighborhood. He commented that there are still problems with Dysprosium Street that he would like addressed. As for the apartments, he noted that the developer would still need to come back for site plan approval, so the City would have further input on this item. He said he hoped staff would continue to explore options with the County to provide a better traffic flow through the neighborhood. He asked if the proposed pond and gazebo in option #2 was being eliminated because of the new configuration. Mr. Bulow stated that these items were eliminated in the new plan because they did not have time to prepare something new that included these items. However, the pond and the gazebo will still be on the final plan, as the pond is required in the development. Commissioner Kociscak stated he agreed that option//4 was the best option. Chairman Anderson stated he preferred option//2 because it eliminates his concerns about dead end roads, and he reiterated his reservations about the apartments.
