The City Manager expla3ned to the City Councll this communicaLion involved a road
plan which had„been Yiefore the Planning Commiss�on and SuU-Comm�Ltees� i,hat he
had presented this request �o the commissions with what knowled�,e he had which was
that the St. Williams �hurch wish to use this outlot without the ro�d running
through it. He further exp]alned the Plannin� Commission and Pla1,s and ^aub-Corn-
mittees suggest the cul-de-sac not, be placed; they ieel there should be access
back on up to 6gt� as there is a problem oF natkiin� heing eUle i;o loop i,Yie wai,er
and'their reeot�meudation is not to change the plan as presented. CoLmcilman

Sor the area. Councilman Wollce esplained Lh�s �aould be logical if the area would
continue with housing but t?�ere is no xeason wliy a change can't l�e niade. Counctl-
man Wolke an�i, c�ohe.n�on agreed {;he ordinance� lF it taere �ffected, could be chan�;ed
or waived. ,Councilman Wolke e�ated he had been to a meetzn� wzth eevera] ini,ez-
ested people wYio'had met with Father Keefe ot' St. Williams Chw°ch r�nd the proposal
