He said it could be changed around to make it legal but it wouldn't be as desirable. Commissioner Sharp stated there is a definite traffic hazard, especially on St. Louis Avenue, and Mr. Petersen asked if it would meet the Board's approval if curb cuts were used on St. Louis. Commissioner Sharp replied this would still be in violation of the ordinance. The point was brought up in regard to the planned widening of St. Louis Avenue and Mr. Sauer said this was taken into consideration in these plans. Commissioner Bunker stated he thought something could be worked out and that perhaps the Board wants to amend the ordinance. Mr. Sauer stated that because of the continual curb cut, it is not in compliance with the ordinance.
