She turned it over to John Darkenwald from Darkenwald Real Estate. John Darkenwald was in the audience to explain what he was proposing. He is working on developing the three (3) outlots located just north of the Outlet Mall. When he originally worked on these plans he had an engineer work in a private driveway between Outlot A and Lot 1 of the concept plan. He worked with the developer of the mall. At that time they were in agreement. Since then the mall developer is no longer interested. Chair Brown was concerned about an emergency road. Getting a vehicle in and out of the area. Would they have to go back to County Road 19? Meyer asked when they proposed to start on the project. Would it be after the city puts in the road? . Mr. Darkenwald said they would do it at the same time. He is hoping the weather will clear up so they can get out to the site to take some soil samples for testing. They would be concentrating on Phase I of the project. He is also waiting to hear what the elevation of the road is from the City Engineer. . . .
