NO. � 3 9 5 3 �- <br /> the applicant, and the recommendations of the Planning Commission, City staff, and the City <br /> Engineer; and <br /> WHEREAS, on August 11, 1997, the City Council on a vote of 5 to 0 approved <br /> the proposed easement creation and access construction and directed staff to draft an approval <br /> resolution with appropriate conditions; and <br /> W�iEREAS, in approving this request, the City Council makes the following <br /> findings of fact: <br /> 1.

Hennepin County Department of Public Works has permit jurisdiction over the <br /> proposed access location and has indicated that the County will approve the access <br /> as proposed. <br /> 5. Because the proposed new access will impact circulation in the parking lot at 3340 <br /> Shoreline Drive, Council has reviewed the safety concerns raised by the Planning <br /> Commission and has concluded that it is appropriate that applicant provide a 6' <br /> • section of railing along the sidewalk outside the northwest restaurant entrance <br /> doorway as shown on Exhibit D attached.
