Mr. Acciarri pointed out that they have met with the City'' s' t traffic engineer several times, have made many revisions to the traffic pattern and, considering that the Police and Fire Departments had no objections, he believed that they have addressed these concerns, and that they have the best traffic pattern possible. Mr. Gorris agreed that the ' developer has made an effort to alleviate the Commission's concerns, but if he is dealing with a parcel that was previously created, he would deal with it one way, but he has a problem with creating non-conforming parcels. Mr. Acciarri stated that he believed that when this property was developed originally, that this parcel was designated as an outlot and was intended to be developed separately.

Bowen, and lmanimously approved.
