homeowners association of the area indicated their desire to see
the houses along 32nd.Avenue stay as they are on. the proposed preli-

the single family corner lots which can obtain access from 32nd or
34th avenues be required to do so and. that al.l other single family
Lots fronting on Pilgrim Lane be required to have joint driveways
thus limiting; access points between. 32nd. Avenue and 34th avenue to

not :feel this was necessary as Pilg°im Lane is a collector street
and not a thoroughfare street. Commissioner Keeley stated he felt
single family ne-ighborhoods should have single family driveways and
that common driveways would look bad. The staff also recommended a
60 foot public walkway easement along the west side of the plat for
