Steven Wrigley asked if a fence would help satisfy the applicant's request regarding the
sidewalk.
Clinton Spencer said that a fence could be put up to help keep people out but they'll also
have a 4 ft concrete retaining wall between the level of the sidewalk and the parking level;
the amenity space is pushed far back from the pedestrian level; and 24 hour security.
David Hart said a sidewalk is needed, especially with a proposed IHC facility just to the

Cameron Duncan asked if there's a sidewalk on the south side of the hockey practice

Clinton Spencer said yes.
LaNiece Davenport said she doesn't think there's enough pedestrian needs for the back of

Dave Bromley said he agreed with LaNiece Davenport.
David Hart said he feels that there will be people moving all over the place.

David Hart said there's also restaurants and a walkway should be provided.

said there's other ways to screen the back of the house.
David Hart said pedestrians will be in the street if a sidewalk isn't provided.

Planning Commission determine that the proposed “Development
Enhancements” contained in the architect’s letter (see Exhibit A) be accepted as
justifying any actual or perceived short comings in meeting the applicable Cairns
Design Standards and further motions that Preliminary Site Plan Review is
