The <br />preliminary plat is proposing to gain access from Potassium Street. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen stated aside from the Potassium Street issue, her major concern is the <br />length of the cul-de-sac shown in the site plan <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson concurred. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated this is a challenging piece of property without any access to the <br />south. He suggested if this project is approved the City should look at first right of refusal on the <br />prope~ntics directly north of the cul-de-sac to provide access. This may be able to be 'done in <br />phases with the City being proactive. <br /> <br />City Council / June 14, 2005 <br /> Page 13 of 29 <br /> <br />-63- <br /> <br /> <br />
