Planning Commission Minutes August 28, 2001 Page 6 . 2. ACCESS TO LOT 2 SHALL BE RESTRICTED TO THE EXISTING SHARED DRIVEWAY. 3. THE EXISTING EASEMENTS ON THE CURRENT PROPERTY LINE SHALL BE VACATED, EXCEPT FOR THE 40 FOOT WIDE EASEMENT THAT EXTENDS FROM THE LIFT STATION TO ZANE STREET, AND NEW EASEMENTS SHALL BE DEDICATED ALONG THE PROPOSED PROPERTY LINES. COMMISSIONER PEDERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. The Commissioners discussed their concern with the shared access for Lot 2 and the Conoco site. It was suggested that Lot 2 be made larger, or, that Lot 2 be required to have a shared access with Lot 3. Staff did not feel the City could deny access to Lot 2, since it may be developed first. Mr. Maurer stated that a shared access for Lots 2 and 3 could be worked out during site plan review for Lot 3 when it develops. Mr. McGinty stated that they may have a tenant interested in combining Lots 2 and 3, which could be accomplished through the final plat process. Commissioner Mesich asked if a signal could be installed at this location. Mr. Maurer stated that the intersection is too close to the signal at Main Street and Zane. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 5.6.
