Deputy Mayor Taylor spoke regarding if the variance was denied and the impacts of that in regards to other projects down the line. Mayor Krauss wondered if this is the most important intersection to fix. It is scheduled for 2019. He spoke regarding why the intersection is failing. There is a school in the area so those may be good ideas to move it up on the CIP. He spoke regarding Laurel Glen and SIDS and the need for roads and not just intersections. He gave a list of roads that caused a stoppage of growth in the past. Think about the City as a whole. Think about what you want the policy to be into the future. There are safety concerns. 08:31:22 PM Clarification of proposed edits. The Commission and City Attorney spoke regarding adding "according to proportional costs after financially guaranteed" variance would be dead because we would use this instead. This would allow the applicant to get the final plat.
