. . . Planning Commission Minutes September 28, 2004 Page 12 Commissioner Anderson asked where the access was located for the underground parking. Ms. McPherson explained that the access will be from a shared service road located between the Haberdashery and the proposed plat. Chair Ropp opened the public hearing. Parks and Recreation Commissioner Dawn Polston-Hork - stated that there is a question whether or not the Gty already has an easement or ownership of a portion of Outlot A. Ms. McPherson explained where the Wild & Scenic River boundary is located and that the Gty has some ownership in this location. She stated that staff is evaluating where to best locate a river walk with minimal impact on the river bluff. She stated that if the developer retains ownership of Outlot A, the Gty could ask for an easement, but if the Gty were to accept the Outlot as park dedication, an easement would not be necessary. There being no further public comment, Chair Ropp closed the public hearing. Commissioner Anderson asked if there was an issue with the sewer line running behind the businesses south of Main Street. Ms. McPherson explained the history of the sewer line, and noted that if the services failed for the businesses that are still hooked up to this old line, they would be able to connect to the line on Main Street. Commissioner Lemke expressed his support for the plat. Commissioner Offerman concurred and noted that he felt the right turn lanes discussed should be left as is. Chair Ropp concurred.
