(Abstract)
2. The City Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning
Commission (Case No. 92 -44 -SP) and the effect of the proposed construction of a pedestrian
bridge across Minnehaha Creek on the north side of West 37th Street and the placement of
75 cubic yards of fill in the floodplain on the health, safety and welfare of the occupants of
the surrounding lands, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, the effect on values of
properties in the surrounding area, the effect of the use on the Comprehensive Plan, and
compliance with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance
3. The Council has determined that the construction of a pedestrian bridge across
Minnehaha Creek on the north side of West 37th Street and the placement of 75 cubic
yards of fill in the floodplain will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general
welfare of the community nor will it cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards, nor will it
seriously depreciate surrounding property values, and the proposed construction of a
pedestrian bridge across Minnehaha Creek on the north side of West 37th Street and the
placement of 75 cubic yards of fill in the floodplain is in harmony with the general purpose
and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
