He explained the general consensus of the <br />Conunission was to retain the ability to define specific development requirements. <br /> <br />Probst noted one of the difficulties with the Round Lake GB District development <br />is the number of parcels under different ownership in that area; alan;! the <br />Lexington Avenue study area there are relatively few different property owners <br />and a few of the owners have expressed interest in cooperating with the City. <br />
