Uram reported that a neighborhood meeting had been held
with approximately 40 residents in attendance on

plans had been presented by the proponent at the
neighborhood meeting, which did not allow adequate time
for Staff to review the plans and prepare a Staff Report
for tonight 's meeting. Uram stated that the new plans
were being reviewed by the Fire Marshall and the Police
Department. The main issues related to the project are;
access, traffic, and transition to the single family
homes. Staff felt that the project was technically
feasible to build; however, the neighborhood's position
was that a movie theater would not be an appropriate use
for the land.
Sandstad asked Uram if the project would have a connection
to Franlo Road . Uram replied that it had been proposed to
extend Medcom Boulevard to Franlo Road.
