The following person spoke in opposition to this item: Mr. Don Mahoney, 2820 Longspur Way, stated that Council had previously zoned this area Public and Institutional to act as a buffer to the homes on Longspur. He stated he has concern regarding a build up of traffic to the bar in this Center, due to pro- posed growth in the area, thus creating problems to the residences behind the Center. He stated there is an overflow and shortage of parking at this time and that any addi- tional development will create more parking problems. He stated his second concern is that any further development and parking problems will adversely affect the value of the property on Longspur Way. Mr. Miklaus rebutted by stating that with the proper Planned Unit Development plan and design, that it will mitigate the concerns of the neighbors. He stated he felt there is adequate parking at the Center. He added that he is willing to work with the homeowners regarding parking and buffer measures. He advised that with the current zoning it is difficult to lease space in the Center.
