Such easements shall <br />be filed at the time the vacation resolution is filed by the County Attorney's office. <br />Callahan asked O'Sullivan if he was In agreement with the resolution and conditions as <br />noted. O'Sullivan said he was. He reiterated it was a compromise position from the <br />original intent. He sees a ramp as an impossibility. He said those he has spoken to in the <br />neighborhood feel a staircase is a good idea along with the path between the two parking <br />lots. O'Sullivan said he also spoke with Dave Zetterstrom of Hennepin County regarding <br />the right turn lane. Zetterstrom said by putting the bike traffic further up the street, it <br />would heighten the safety as traffic tends to not slow down. <br />Callahan clarified that the walking path would be located between the two lanes of <br />paj'king. <br />Kelley asked about the curbing. Gaffion said there would be a 10' gap between the <br />curbs. <br />Callahan asked if this proposal has been presented to the Planning Commission. Gaffion <br />said it had not and no member of the Planrung Commission was present at the on-site <br />meeting. O’Sullivan said the stairway option was brought up at the Planning Commission <br />meeting. <br />Jabbour questioned the ability to have a staircase with AD.\ regulations. Gaffron said as <br />long as the trail leading from the parking lot does not serve a building while leading to <br />another building, it is his understanding the staircase does not have to meet ADA <br />regulations. Gaffion noted there would be about 18 steps. <br />Hurt indicated kids will take the shortest distance to get to their destination. <br />Kelley said he believes kids will take the steps down with their bicycles.
