Tim Grattan asked if he could respond to some of the comments that had been made by planning board members. Mr. Grattan stated that no access was provided to adjacent lands because he did not want through traffic coming from other -areas coming into his development since his development had been planned and conceived and planned as a unit. Regarding recreation development, he indicated to the Board that he had talked to.other developers of similar types of projects in different parts of the country and that they had indicated to him that developed intensive recreation areas within a project like h is had created problems because they tended to draw people to specific areas of the development. He also felt that the streets had been designed adequately to handle the traffic that was anticipated within .the development. He further stated that he was applying for No. 5 Business Residence District zoning because he wanted the flexibility that that zoning district provided so that in the future, that if apartments did not seem feasible, he would be able to go to commercial office space or something of that nature.
