Councilmember Gunkel further indicated that the Planning Commission expressed concerns regarding landscaping and green space. Councilmember Gunkel indicated that it is recommended that the public hearing be continued until such time as the American Legion can submit a final plat for their addition which would include traffic patterns and landscaping. Mr. John Pearce, representative of the Planning Commission, indicated that the property between the Legion Club and the City street is owned by the City and that it was his recommendation that the City would give it to the Legion to maintain. The City Administrator indicated that it would not be necessary to give the City property to the Legion Club but that it could be considered boulevard and be maintained as a boulevard. The City Administrator indicated that a curb along the edge of the street would be part of the Main Street project. General discussion was carried on regarding the curb of the Main Street project and the consideration of the green space between the curb and the American Legion parking lot. Mr. Rick Breezee, BUildin. g and Zoning Administrator, indica~ed that the American Legion would have to obtain additional parking spaces, either with Hagen's Super Valu or perhaps the Burlington Northern Railroad.
