Councilmember Baumgartner reported that on April 26, 1978 the Planning Commission recommended that the Council approve the minor subdivision request with the stipulation that a covenant with the deed be filed which would restrict development until the Knollwood extension was resolved, or a specific period of time, which would prohibit development of Lot B.

Councilmember Ziebarth stated that the Council was getting criticized for not getting enough input and stated that he would like to know what the other residents not present would like. He added that he would like to know the specific variances Mr. Sjodin was speaking about that had been reportedly granted earlier. Councilmember Ziebarth also stated that he had not seen the proof he would like for a hardship and that he would also like to know safety statistics on the location of the road, since he personally felt a jog in the road would be detrimental as it could promote lawn running and so forth.
