getting people active on that corridor would likely make the area safer rather than less safe. He said the trail could be an asset to the neighborhood including The Woods and the trail needed access to all the City’s properties along the route and he wanted to make sure that was done.

He said he would like to add the minutes to this meeting to the plan when the plan was adopted so that his concerns about that particular property acquisition would go on record. He said he also liked the concept of acquiring the Sale Barn property, but he did not want to make an absolute commitment to that by approving the plan because there might be financial considerations that they had not anticipated.

Wildgen said the public needed to understand, for the record, that the Mayor was not directing staff to acquire any property and adoption of the plan did not mean acquisition of the property.

Commissioner Schauner said it would be worth putting in the minutes that accessibility, whether it was the 19^th Street location or some other location or locations, did seem a critical component in making the corridor usable and accessible. Where that place or places would be located would be left up to final design discussions, but he thought without access, there was not much point in having a trail.

Mayor Highberger said at this point, the plan recommended a 19^th Street rail head and he wanted to get his concerns on record.

Moved by Hack, seconded by Schauner, to approve the Burroughs Creek Corridor Plan with the addition to the Plan, the February 14^th City Commission meeting minutes, and initiate three of the five recommended rezonings, excluding the Salvation Army and Independence, Inc. properties. Motion carried unanimously. (21)
