Director Thatcher stated he has agreed with JLN to review their plan for parking, but he has not cut down the requirements yet. Clerk/Administrator Fauley stated that based on the numbers presented by JLN last week, it was felt it was workable, and any further development would require them to come back to the City for further discussion and approval. He added this is a conceptual approval at this time, and they will be in many more times with further details. Director Thatcher clarified that the Planning Commission has not made a recommendation on the parking yet, and they will be meeting on October 15. Councilmember Hankner stated she feels stcu signs would be needed north of the development site, and suggested several locations they should be placed, to keep speed down as cars go through the residential areas. Mr. Carlson stated he agrees the concern about controlling traffic is very valid, but reminded the Council they are proposing a development within the boundry lines of their property, and they do not have input on what will happen outside the property line, whereas the Council does, and he asked the Council to address the JLN Development itself.
