212 Mr. Culver thought currently it would be an on -street pathway connection. That <br />213 would be highlighted as how to connect to Tamarack Park. <br />214 <br />215 Mr. Dave Boom, 300 S. McCarrons Boulevard, reviewed the history of his home <br />216 and when it was purchased. He indicated the roadway was used for when they <br />217 moved in and it is currently used to carry in groceries, home improvement projects <br />218 and as he is getting older the 38 steps going to his house is getting more daunting. <br />219 The back way in is a real relief to his family. He indicated he loves the trailways in <br />220 the City and the oddities in Tamarack Park. He explained his family feels in a really <br />221 tough spot now, either losing access do to this being converted into some parkway <br />222 or losing access because the City might choose to throw it back at them. He noted <br />223 they are looking for some relief and consideration. He wanted to appeal to them to <br />224 consider some ways to present relief to them and the neighbors. He needed to speak <br />225 up because his house is at the top of the hill and is pre-existing and it has come to <br />226 people's attention. He felt this was an unexpected necessity, even though it has been <br />227 in the works for a few years, to deal with something that has been there for decades. <br />228 He thanked the Commission for playing their roles and did excellent work for the <br />229 City. <br />230 <br />231 Mr. Anderson indicated there were several late emails and a letter from him that <br />232 were not a part of the agenda packet. He wanted to make sure that those were <br />233 forwarded to the Commission and City Council. <br />234 <br />235 Mr. Culver thought some of the members received them late Monday and even this <br />236 morning but would make sure the Commission gets them as well as the City <br />237 Council. <br />238 <br />239 Chair Wozniak closed the public hearing at 8:09 p.m. <br />240 <br />241 Chair Wozniak asked for comments and thoughts on the proposal. <br />242 <br />243 Member Joyce indicated there is a new development that is not on the map, and this <br />244 was brought up and in place before the new development, which is east of this. <br />245 <br />246 Mr. Freihammer indicated the new development is the Enclave. He showed the new <br />247 pathway being built in the development going up Marion Street. <br />248 <br />249 Member Joyce thought the City should consider what the demographics are of the <br />250 new development and if there would need to be a flat, paved, ADA surface by it for <br />251 the new residents and how can the new residents access Tamarack. He wondered if <br />252 it is feasible for them to go up to Wagner return and come back down Western. He <br />253 wondered if that has been factored into any of the planning. <br />254 <br />255 Mr. Freihammer indicated this was not factored in, but he did not think that just <br />256 because of this new development the City would add or change anything. <br />257 <br />Page 6 of 10 <br />
