appeared representing Finch Pruyn Sales and asked that the street extension
be considered separate from the subdivision.; Kushner stated that the main
consideration was the road with no discussion of the subQdivision" After
complaints by the public, O'Connor said they would withdraw road request and
we could treat this as part of the .ubQdivision~
Objections were voiced based on increased traffic and resulta'nt danger to
children in the Westland sub~divi.ion and that the residents purchased in
good faith without the possibility of this development being expanded"
