matter to the Planing Commission because of the extensive public interest. On June 9, 1977, the Planning Commission modified the approval of SD-75- 44 by adding several conditions. The new conditions included a modified circulation plan and a sliding gate across the Harold Avenue driveway so as to effectively prohibit vehicular ingress from Harold Avenue, or pedestrian access to or from Harold Avenue. The Planning Commission action was appealed by the residents of Harold Avenue and the matter was heard by the City Council on July 5, 1977. The City Council upheld the appeal and revolted the original Site Development Permit. This action required the closure of the exit. On August 1, 1977, the City Council delayed enforcement of the revocation to September 6, 1977. On September 6, 1977, the City Council moved to delay the matter for two more weeks to allow meetings with the homeowners in the area. The City Council minutes from September 19, 1977, reference a recommendation for a "workable solution" that would be acceptable to both parties. The specifics of the "solution" were not detailed. However, the record shows that the "solution" was approved by the Council. It appears that the compromise included the addition to the driveway of spikes which would allow vehicle exit only onto Harold Avenue. Although the record is clear that there was great concern about the pedestrian traffic from the apartment, there is no record of a means to stop pedestrians from parking on Harold and entering the apartment complex. 3
