There was also discussion on the discrepancy in the elevations as compared to the area to the South of this plat. Mr. Gotwald was also concerned about the traffic flow on the dead end street to the North. Mr. Menkveld said that a temporary cul-de-sac had been proposed for that dead end street. When the lands to the North are devleoped, then this cul-de-sac will be eliminated and the land will revert to the abutting property owners. Mr. Priem, a land owner whose property borders the West edge of this plat asked what is going to happen to back portion of his land. He wanted a street in order to develop some lots.
