Approve Easement with Washington County for CSAH 8 East Proiect As part of the development of the Hanifl Fields Athletic Park, the City obtained an access permit from Washington County. One of the permit requirements is to construct a turn lane/bypass lane on CSAH 8 east in order to accommodate the increased turning movements and activity at the access.
