comments. Member Carmack stated, that in his opinion, the Vista
Lane approach to U. S. Highway 34 is very difficult - the new
development would generate more traffic, would the State Highway
Department recommend improvements? Planner Stamey stated he had

ment and was advised the Highway Department had a 120'
right-of-way along Highway 34; with the existing public access,
no improvements would be needed on Vista Lane at the present
time. Following discussion, Member Blair moved for abeyance of
the Mi Casa Conceptual Plan P.U.D. to the next regularly
