Commissioner Zisla had questions regarding the No. 4 condition of a trail easement. Neil Hyde with CSS Builders, representing the developer, spoke stating they understood the part of the process that dealt with the trail and easements thereof, that they were willing to work with the City in consideration of the easement across the property for the trail because this is something the City has had in planning and in the works for a long time.
