You can use the API to deploy your Zone rather than rely on the wizard, then you can simply leave out the Public Network elements.
As you already have it deployed, simply use the 'DeleteTrafficType' API command to remove the Public network from the Physical Network it is assigned to You will need to use the 'ListTrafficTypes' command to obtain the ID of the Public Network.

Reason why I am asking, is that public network is presented in Add Zone wizard when you choose Advanced Network setup and there is no way to delete it.. (that I know off). It would make sense to have Public Network when you use Isolated mode (like AWS), but since I'm using shared - I see no point. Plus, once I got my Advanced Network Mode to function as expected, I don't see CS allocating any Public IP addresses, only Guest..
