Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 2002 Page 8 e Commissioner Baker stated that since that time, a significant number of townhome plats have been brought into this area. Chair Pederson stated that he felt the Commission understood the applicant's intent to plat the property as townhomes, and that he could have requested a waiver, but instead chose to wait out the process for the new ordinance to be written. Chair Pederson stated that his concern is for the amount of traffic that will be generated which will flow back to the City. Commissioner Anderson stated that he is not in favor of the rezoning, stating that this area is farthest from the core area of any of the other townhomes, and also had a concern regarding the number of units and traffic.
