Lake Boulevard and that s?iid cul-de-sac border the southerly and westerly
boundary lines, which will involve a 30" radius located at the southeast
corner".. This resolution appeared to be the center of controversy regardingdivisionoftheHeggenlot,_ Mr. Heggen's interpretation of the resolution
and 'drat of the City Engineer varied significantly.
Petitioner read his statement to the Planning Commission and asked that it
be a part .of the, official minutes of this meeting.
Petitioner was asked by the Commission what his objections were to Exhibit C
as presented by Staffs Mr,. Heggen responded that the major problem was the

for Parcel B as per the Zoning Ordinance.

recommended by the Commission to take care of this problem.
