Motion seconded by Wojcik. Motion carried 6 — 0. Jim Trossen, Trossen Architects, presented the Preliminary and Final Plat for Tacheny Addition. Trossen noted the plat has changed from what was previously presented in that there were initially 9 town office units proposed and that number has now been reduced to 8 units. The reason for the reduction is that they have learned there is 9 '/ feet less property than originally thought, and parking requirements cannot be net for 9 units. Keis pointed out the City Planner's recommendation that a walkway easement be provided along Rice Street. Dan Tacheny, property owner, indicated that they have no objection to dedication of a sidewalk easement. The City Planner indicated that there appears to be adequate roan between the proposed town office buildings and the road right -of -way to dedicate a sidewalk easement. The width of that easement, however, should be verified with the City Engineer.
