I would <br />recommend one curh cut and removal of the island." <br />Johnson also preferred one curb cut, and agreed that there <br />needs co be further review of the island. <br />Bellows and Kelley concurred with Johnson. <br />Graf indicated that removing the island would not solve the <br />sight line problem with the existing curb cut, and that he would <br />prefer not to have the second curb cut as his only driveway as it <br />is steep and would create difficulties in accessing the garage. <br />Kelley stated that the t.r?ffic from the Fall and Spring <br />Preview, and construction, will be temporary.
