(See Exhibit #1'attached) 6) That the City Council reviewed the previous preliminary plat on March 11, 1980, and it was a consensus that the park dedication should include corridors on both sides of Trott Brook instead of onlyone side.

(See Exhibit 2). 9) That several Council members on July 8, 1980 questioned the safety factor~ of permitting lengthy cul-de-sacs with the resultant one access problem to the six (6) lot plat plus the existing platted areas of Brookview Estates and White Pines Estates. 10) That in the past, the City has permitted one access situations to occur by allowing the plats of Trott Brook First and Second Addition, Forest Hideaway, Woodlawn Estates, Whispering Pines Estates Plat #3, Rum Acres, White Pines Estates, Mississippi Acres, Itasca Heights, Caroline Acres, Rodeo Hills, lower portion of Riverwood Hills, Brook view Estates, Menkveld's Country Park and Gateway North Industrial Park.
