Peter Fausch~ of Barton-Ashman Eng. discussed the maJor intersection plan with regard to our comprehensive plan. The Mayor asked if we did make some changes in the road system, how would the property on the other side of Whitney (propoSed) be served by sewer and water. There was considerable discussion on where signalized intersections should be. Dick Winkler said they had not had time to study this. He questioned the use of townhouses across the street from a business zoning. Mr. Ulrich asked Mr. Thompson for a time schedule on the commercial property Mr. Thompson said he could only estimate between 2½ and 3 years. The Plauning Commission did not realize this property was to be divided, but thought it would be all commercial. The hearing was then opened to the public. Mr. Stan Larson of 819 Whitney said it would please everyone on Whitney if Whitney was a one-way street going east.
