The guidelines are meant to give the developers an idea of the "look and <br /> feel" for the development up front rather than giving them the guidelines later. <br /> Fernelius answered several questions from the Commissioners regarding the street layout <br /> and width. He did state that Engineering is concerned that the proposed roads may be too <br /> narrow. O'Keefe inquired if there would be bussing along the Old Hwy 8 corridor. <br /> Fernelius replied that there would be and Black stated it would be appropriate to have <br /> some sort of bus stop area. Fernelius and Black explained the build too lines are not a <br /> zero set back line, but a code that will build consistency and unification throughout the <br /> development. Schiferl inquired about pedestrian safety through out the development. <br /> Fernelius replied that this document does not currently address that subject, but he would <br /> suggest that the Public Safety department look that the guidelines and development plans. <br /> Schiferl expressed a concern on the amount of proposed retail that is currently planned <br /> and that the City should have some flexibility with the allotted square footage.
