Gappa stated the neighborhood parking was discussed but that it <br /> did not appear the applicants were interested in having that in tt�e ageeement. <br /> Mr. Walsh stated l�e does not llave a problem with having the parking, but by putting in the agreement the <br /> fact that this portion of the property is open to the general public raises all sorts of issues with liability <br /> and insurance. Walsh indicated he would prefer that language not be included in the agreement. <br /> Walsh stated he did discuss the public parking last time and that his neighbors do park in this area from <br /> time to tinie. Walsh stated the parking by the neighbors was not the reason for the gravel and that the <br /> gravel is there specifically for the snow. <br /> Walsh indicated they originally were willing to leave the area gravel,but after the call from the City <br /> saying if an easement agreement is not entered into,the City would rescind the approval. Walsh stated he <br /> took the phone call as sort of a tlrreat. <br /> Sansevere commented the situation does appear to have become somewhat confrontational. <br /> Wl�ite stated the idea of an easement was brought up after the applicauts left tl�e last meeting. White <br /> suggested the parties go back to the point they were at prior to the easement being suggested. <br /> Murphy stated the snow could be hauled away. <br /> McMillan inquired whether the hardcover would need to be removed. <br /> Walsh stated originally they were just going to leave it the way it is and just handle the snow storage on a <br /> handshake basis. Walsh noted Gappa had an issue witl�the possibility of the property being sold and the <br /> future owner opposing the snow storage. Walsh stated he then suggested he woulcl be agreeable to a ten- <br /> year agreement to allow the snow storage but that he would rather tlle area be paved. Walsh noted tliat is <br /> when other issues were being brought into the easement and that he had questions whether these things <br /> were applied to other people within the City. <br /> White stated he is willing to go back to the agreement the City Council had with the applicants prior to <br /> the request for the easenlent. <br /> PAGE 17 <br />
