August 3rd,

for a fence to the north of the development should be part of the
agreement. Additionally, he noted that the request for provision of a
crosswalk at the Oxford-Westminster intersection should be seriously
considered. Alderman Laking advised that these particular items should
have been included in the report and verbally reported that the Committee
was in agreement with the request for a wooden fence on the north boundary
of the development. With respect to the concerns expressed by the local
residents over the increased traffic problems, Alderman Laking advised
that the City Engineer and the City's Traffic Consultant had arrived at

although a number of youth were in the area of the outlet, McDonald's

themselves police the premises and do not permit loitering, therefore it

in question and felt that no feasible alternate use could be determined.

developers to the east were fully aware of this application. The City
Engineer reported that the City's Traffic Consultant had prepared a
traffic plan that was generally acceptable, however, a meeting had been
scheduled to discuss the plan with representatives of the Developer,
Kern's Chevrolet and the City Engineer and if satisfactory to all parties,
Department of Highways approval would be requested. He indicated that

it was hoped that some definite information in this respect would be
available for the August 16th Council meeting. The City Administrator
reported that negotiations respecting the closure and sale of Imperial
Avenue had not been successful with the Developer and that the proposal
set forth for approval showed the total development moved 23 feet north

of that originally proposed, so as not to encroach on the road allowance.
The price for acquisition of same had not been acceptable to the Developer.

The City Administrator further advised that there was a very small
