He indicated the whole area Was approved that way for open fencing an that it made no sense to now have a wooden fence. He also did not wish for the houses be turned so that someone's back yard faced a front yard and felt that was a mistake. He also felt that it was more appropriate for the houses to go around the cul-de-sac so that fic problems associated with a future park and school would be minimized. He fe t that three or four houses on the cul-de-sac would eliminate parking on the street. Mr. onsalves stated that he is not in favor of the lots being reconfigured as staff is recommendin . He further stated that he felt he is being locked into not being able to develop his own pr rty in the future by staffs proposed reconfiguration of the lots, while at the same time h indicated that he would very much like to be annexed into the City.
