The Public Hearing was then opened for comments from those attending. John • Labalestra, 1433 W. California, asked for a clarification of the Plan language which discusses annexing additional parcels. Carl Dale explained that that language meant there was to be no splitting up of Falcon Heights, as it present- ly exists, to be annexed to other communities. Mr. Labalestra also commented favorably about keeping the residential character of the City and also commented that he felt more parking than was shown on the commercial business district concept plan would be needed. Next, Bill Brown, 1808 Asbury, requested a more detailed explanation of the maps which accompanied the Comprehensive Plan text. Carl Dale responded to this request to the apparent satisfaction of Mr. Brown.
