to their own properties. There really needs to be some sort of defined legal cross easement in order for that to continue in perpetuity because any one property owner can say they do not want anyone crossing their property to get to another's property. Mr. Culver explained the City actually vacated a portion of the right-of-way that was shown on that map a few years ago on the northern end because there were some issues with shed placement and property lines, etc. That did not necessarily impact the roadway being talked about, but it does impact some of the neighbor's ability to access their own property through that area. The City staff still thinks it is abeneficial access forthe general public, particularly on the west side of Tamarac Park because of that wetland those residents cannot get to the park unless they drive around the neighborhood. Chair Wozniak thought the Commission needed to start discussion on recommended changes. He thought the Commission should start discussion on the C2 bridge connection. He asked for Commission comments or potential pathway preference. Member Ficek asked what exactly the path is connecting because on the west side are car dealerships and on the east side are some companies. He wondered what the draw would be for that pathway connection. Mr. Culver thought the original intent was to connect the neighborhood on the west side of Roseville ultimately to the rest of Roseville across 35W. He noted this connection has been in the City Pathway plans for a long time. Chair Wozniak thought Mr. Steve Jernigan had some very well thought out comments in his email and he encouraged the Commission to take a look at that. He was not sure how Mr. Jernigan found out about this being atopic at this meeting and he wondered how or if staff is asking for public comment about the Pathway Masterplan at this point. Mr. Freihammer indicated some of the residents are much more in tune with all of Roseville's dealing so Mr. Jernigan may have caught that on an agenda. He indicated the City will reach out to specific impacted properties for the next meeting. He noted the City is in the community gathering phase and wants input from residents as well as the Commission. Member Misra indicated she would be in favor of seeing something that would be helpful to pedestrians to cross Snelling. Chair Wozniak asked the Commission to take a close look at the plan before the next meeting and look at what should be added and focused on. How these should be prioritized to make sure it still takes into account what they think it should, in terms of values and so forth, like transit. Also consider some of the concerns voiced Page 8 of 9
