preliminary approval of Application Z14138, the project is conditioned to require that MDT
enter into an agreement with the City that states that MDT will either participate in their pro rata
share of the cost of the construction of the shared use pathway along the Frontage Road or
directly construct their portion of the shared use pathway when there is an available connection of the pathway system to the site.
MDT has submitted the required documentation to satisfy the condition. Planning staff have
reviewed the document and have found it to be acceptable.

2) Recommend changes to the MOU prior to City Manger signature.
3) Do not authorize City Manger signature on the MOU.

shared use path cost will be covered by MDT.
