the other building, not counting porches, and that would be a fire hazard. Dennis Riney,
2850-2852 Larkspur spoke in opposition stating that the general aesthetics of the proposed
project were not good and the apartment addition will take away from the overall design.
Linda Puchbauer, 1921 Rock Creek spoke in opposition stating there already were parking
and traffic congestion problems. Mary Ann Forester, 1923 Rock Creek spoke in opposition
stating she has a son and worries that additional tr�c will make the area more dangerous
for her son. No other citizens appeared in regard to this request.
3. That the request of Stacy Lange for a special use permit for daycare for up to eight(8) children
with one assistant at 733 Watkins Drive, located in an R-4, Multi-Family Residential District

in opposition. Stacy Lange presented the request stating that there currently were no other

and it was a residential neighborhood with few rentals. Mrs. Browning stated that she did
� not want to see the character of the neighborhood change by allowing a business. Mrs.
Browning further stated that parking was already a major issue on that street. Being so close
to the University, many times students will park with their cars overlapping resident's
driveways. William Headrick spoke on behalf of his father,who resides at 405 N. Sprigg,in
opposition, stating that both he and his father were concerned about the noise that can be
created by two year olds, as well as how properiy values could possibly decline with a
daycare in the neighborhood. N1r. Headrick explained how the driveway was at such an

accessories without the door slamming shut on them. No other citizens appeared in regard
to this request.

and night. Mr. Sheehan stated his concerns that new commercial-grade lightening will be
put in the new lot and he already has to use room-darkening shades. Mike Sheehan, 510 N.
West End Boulevard, spoke in opposition stating he would like the dumpster to remain

Street, spoke in opposition stating that he had issues with detention basin drainage and
how fast citizens drive on Old Sprigg Street Road. Basil Harrison, 1530 Oak Lei, spoke
in opposition stating he had been in opposition since the beginning. Mr. Harrison stated

Chairman Skip Smallwood reported on the recommendation of the Downtown Traffic
committee in regard to traffic directions on Water Street and Main Street. The committee
consisted of Skip Smallwood, Scott McClanahan, Bill Hinckley, Kent Zickfield, Deb
Maevers and Thomas M. Meyer. The committee met on May 4t1i and their decision was
to leave Water Street one-way southbound from Broadway to Independence as previously
approved by the Planning Commission at the special meeting on February 23, 2005. In
regard to Main Street, the committee decided it should remain one-way southbound from
Broadway to William. Upon a motion by R.J. McKinney and a second by Ray Buhs, the
Planning Commission voted to forward this recommendation to the City Council.
Following the vote, committee member Kent Zickfield addressed the Commission and
stated that he was opposed to the recommendation and that he recommended that the City
hire a professional street traffic planner to study downtown traffic, prepare projections on
� traffic changes that may result from the new development in the downtown area such as
the Marquette Project, the new Federal Courthouse and the River Campus, and make
recommendations for any changes needed.
