The staff feels that realigning this roadway will cause major changes in the layout of the development, and that this should be accomplished before any final Commission decision is made.

Mr. Thompson explained that there is a higher accident rate at intersections which are not aligned; streets should be offset at least 100 ft. or aligned directly across from each other. b. Mr. Aitken said he felt the street should be in alignment, no matter how much or how little through traffic is expected. c. Mr. Nicoli said he would like to see the density reduced; that he though the layout was poor and wouldn't look residential at all; and that he would vote to deny it. d.
