Terry noted the developer has indicated he supports two driveway points <br /> into the site. <br /> Commissioner Minton questioned whether or not the backing of vehicles into the <br /> drive aisles on the Culvers site would create problems. Terry did not feel the <br /> situation would be any different than Target or Cub except for the fact there will <br /> be two businesses at this location. <br /> Commissioner Cote expressed concern for potential problems regarding the <br /> access points to Culvers site and the adjacent commercial site. Steve Ach noted <br /> the City Council will be reviewing the plat for these two parcels on Monday night <br /> • and will relay the Commission's concerns. <br />
