The mayor pointed out to the council that the community has no city plan of future development that is in any way protected by orâ€" dinance. Under the gystem now in operation subdivision plats are sub» mitted and approved with little or no thought as to their effect on the development of the community as & whole. Aah.uth'l&;! no violation of specific ordinances deal largely with rules and regulaâ€" makeâ€"up of the sgubdivision itself and in no way attempt to regulate it as one of many like units going to make up the city as a whole. to adopnt some stendard plan of deâ€" velopment, the mayor 8‘-’& was fi-mmd'flm, flmht?'i:!fwm on us 9 hepnughtars is entively muw is a distinet detriment to a free of motor vehicles trafâ€" fic in others. Mayor Ronan cited several instances where north and south traffic on Green Bay and Skoâ€" kie could be somewhat relieved if through streets in between these two main arteries were opened to travel. At the present time, the mayor stated, this solution was out of the question because of the numâ€" erous deadâ€"end streets that dot this It is Mayor Ronan‘s suggestion that some definite City Plan similar to the one drawn up several years ago (but which was never used) be incorporated in the city code.
