SITE PLAN: The site plan is preliminary but does meet final site plan requirements. AGENCY COMMENTS: The City Engineer made the following comments: "1.

Ingress/egress must have a minimum width of 22 feet. " STAFF COMMENTS: The Staff would note that this site went through the rezoning process in November of 1982 for the same use and was granted approval by both the Area Plan Commission and the Common Council . The reason the land reverted back to "A" Residential is that the previous petitioner failed to start construction within the required one year period from the zoning approval date.
