-5- The 5-The Commission discussed with the proponents what effect this proposal may have with the comprehensive plan. The Commission also advised the representatives of the neighborhood opposition encountered for a similar project which was proposed on Silver Lake Road. Due to certain dead lines which need to be met the representatives asked that a public hearing to consider the variances and rezoning be set up for January. The Commission agreed to recommend this to the Council. The proponents were advised to come to the hearing well provided for with essential data to allay the concerns of neighbors regarding parking, screening, and density of the proposed project since a similar proposal for the property across Silver Lake Road from Apache had received opposition from the neighbors.

Motion by Mr. Bjorklund and seconded by Mr. Rymarchick to recommend Council denial of the Blanske request that the City vacate the south half of the street known as Sunset Lane because future appropriate access to a potential public park and the water retention pond as well as proper maintenance and reconstruction of utilities in place might be denied; slope, drainage, ground topography and subsoil cond- itions have not been addressed; and there are already land use conflicts in the area which may be amplified through the resulting use of the • adjoining property if the proposed vacation is approved. Motion carried unanimously. The Commission directed the City staff to research a proposed Fence
