He <br />asked whether the building could be made any smaller. <br />Dr. Berg maintained that in order to make the whole project feasible, they need to have the building <br />as large as possible. <br />Sansevere commented that he had heard the site to the east may also be developed w ith dental uses. <br />Gaffron noted that the property to the east was approximately 2 acres and guided for office use. <br />While Sansevere agreed that access around the building is necessary, he questioned the visual impact <br />that less green space on the backside would have on traffic heading west on Highway 12. <br />Gaffron noted that all sides of this building virtually have to be treated like the front. <br />Mayor Peterson asked what it w ould mean if the Council could not support 10' setbacks. <br />White stated that the Council believes this to be a good use, and with the low demand for office <br />space currently, he supported the concept.

She stated that wtiere exceptions have been <br />made in the past she has been disappointed by the result. <br />Sansevere asked whether Kelley Parkway would be moved. <br />Gaffron noted that while the re-location of Kelley Parkway is not currently planned, if it were <br />moved, the size of this parcel may change. <br />Murphy stated that once construction on Highway 12 begins, the stack up will be substantial. <br />Sansevere acknowledged that the complex can look good even if it is heavily packed. He did have <br />other questions regarding the minimum entrance and access. <br />PagcTof 16
