Planning Commission Minutes Wednesday, February 3, 1982 -2- concern for emergency access and water supply to the area. Mr. Drown indicated the feasibility study was to be done which should address the question of water supply. Concerning his desire to somehow improve the emergency access, Mr. Rukavina indicated the ideal solution might be to provide sprinklers to the building. Mr. Bob Pope, the architect on the project, discussed several options with the Commission concerning the emergency access. No particular solution to the problem was agreed on, however. Mr. Johnson asked about the disposition of the lone cul-de-sac. Mr. Dahlgren indicated the applicant was requesting the vacation of the circle portion of the cul-de-sac, and that it would be up to the property owners on either side of the stub street to petition for vacation of the remainder of the street. Recommendation Mr. Matson moved and Mr. Rukavina seconded, that the Commission recommend approval of the William Steinworth request for preliminary plat, special use permit, and vacation of right-of-way at 1717 Dellwood, with a note to the Council to discuss the emergency access situation at their hearing.

Detailed discussions of these matters are contained in various documents written by Mr. Dahlgren and the City staff. Discussion, Mr. Matson asked why the property northwest of Fulham was not included in the rezoning. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that since the comprehensive plan did not show this property as business property, but rather as industrial property, it would require a great deal more effort to have this rezoned. He indicated that should someone desire to build on this property in the future, a request from them for rezoning could be handled in a much more expeditious manner. Mr. Donald Sime, owner of a parcel of property to the east of 35W, indicated he had purchased the property with the intention of building an animal hospital on the site.
