Mr. Steiner pointed out the applicants do not yet have a specific plan put into place. Stoelting asked Franzen to review the staff report. Franzen said the Staff recommends approval based on page 3 of the staff report. Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input. There was no input. Pitzrick asked if the access points to Lake Riley would then be combined. Mr. Steiner confirmed they would be combined. He said it would be one single path which would be 16 feet wide with a 2 foot buffer on each side. He also pointed out all of the wetland areas would be preserved. Pitzrick asked how much on-grade parking would be allowed on this property. Franzen said this would not be an issue with this property; they conform to the ordinance requirements.
