Davidson called for Council comments, questions, or motions. Lathrop asked why they are not paving Cherry Street. O'Connor stated that it is not necessary. He pointed out that the District is committed to paving Cherry Street at the time it is necessary. Lathrop thought the plans should be clarified by the time they get to Planning Commission as they were not clear plans. Sisk moved that Council send the Plat and PUD for The Park at CTC on to the Planning Commission, seconded by Mayer. All in favor with Keany being absent. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION CTC SIDEWALK PLAN Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that it is a 5' detached sidewalk on one side of the street. Staff comments on the plan pertained to issues of general pedestrian circulation and ADA access requirements. Planning Commission discussed the adequacy of a sidewalk on one side of the street.; If a sidewalk on both sides was deemed necessary for safety purposes, a work session would need to be held and there would be a type of public or private partnership in terms of the City's participation in funding the balance of the additional improvements. Davidson did not like the idea of the City building sidewalks in an industrial area. If the City were going to build sidewalks, it would be in Old Town. Howard moved that Council approve the sidewalk plan as presented, seconded by Levihn. All in favor with Keany being absent.
