(Motion passed 4-1:Armstrong: does not object to the commercial in the northeast <br />corner, but liked to see the number of lots go down with a larger business area.

Planner Dillerud noted that this was the Council's <br />previous motion and that the project will be going back to the Planning Commission.

The County stopped <br />the recording of the Fields II plat because the east, west streets were suppose to be numbered streets and <br />would not record the plat until the street names have been changed. <br />Council member DeLapp had a problem with this system, as the cities of Woodbury, Forest Lake, <br />Stillwater threw it out. He suggested placing the Uniform Street Naming system on future agenda, with <br />completion by May, 2000. <br />Council member DeLapp would like to look into technology for logging into Council meetings, if away. <br />Council member Siedow responded then no one would be here at the meetings. <br />Tour of streets workshop — Issues submitted by Council member DeLapp. The Council asked the Planning <br />Commission to set up a street committee.
