The Council swore in a new police officer, who has a brother on the force. He announced that the Estes Express land has been purchased and the coal trains that block the City streets would soon be reduced. He added that the City has entered a lawsuit with Rottlund regarding the Northwest Quadrant Development, but due to the litigation was unable to go into any detail. *ann asked if money was received to improve the pedestrian crossing at Silver Lake Road and Hwy 694, and if so, when that improvement would be completed. Larson replied that a trail was added along the back side of the sound wall along Hwy 694 to keep people off of the streets and the trail would continue through the Brighton Village development. He added that there would not be an improvement to the bridge. Schiferl stated the issue is the amount of people that make right hand turns at that ramp and do not stop for a red light. Larson replied that the City can not do anything about that, since it has not been warranted by the DOT. However, it may come down to the City funding the signs and the County paying us back at a later date.

The March 2006 approval was considered a re -approval because the project was originally approved in April of 2005. However, the April 2005 approval expired as no buildin crmits were issued within 6 months. Included with the Site Plan is a Special Use Permit allowing for a 4O" tory.
