Councilmember Williams stated that the remnant parcel that bothers her is to the east. She stated that reciprocal easement will assist in allowing flow to the remnant site to the west. Councilmember Johns asked the applicant if there is an outside play area on this site and whether there is space within the footprint. Mr. Johnson stated that the site plan identified 10,000 square feet which allows the projections. He stated that under the State, an outside play area of at least 1,500 square feet is required and noted that they are looking at an outdoor play area of about 2,000 square feet in size. He noted that an indoor multi-purpose room would also be provided. Councilmember Shryock stated that she continues to be supportive of the request and will support site number one. Councilmember LeTourneau stated that he also agrees with site one. He stated that the remnant pieces concern him. He stated that he is concerned with the price and believed that thoughtful conversations should occur regarding how the remnant pieces will affect the overall return. Mayor Strommen agreed and stated that she is glad that the extra time was taken to provide the additional information and understand how the property could work together with the remnants. She echoed the comments from Councilmembers LeTourneau and Williams, noting that the risk needs to be mitigated. She believed that discussion will be needed regarding road access, noting that private roads have historically been a hassle for the City. Councilmember Kuzma stated that this is a good project; however, the last time this discussion occurred he was not in favor of this site. He noted that he still has some reluctance to this site but noted that he is influenced by the input of the Commissions and therefore will support the request.
