Commission Vice Chairman Cook asked Mr. Baddaker what the thoroughfare plan was for the area, and other comments from the Commission related to the inevitable traffic problems that would be generated from higher density housing and a small street as well as the Master Plan indicating lower density for the area than would exist with the R -Mf -2 Zoning.
