withdraw their request for a temporary construction easement, but they hope their two requests for the permanent easements for the pipeline and the driveway would be separated from that request. Mr. Fialho noted it was not staff's intent to couple those two issues, but it is an issue that the Council needs to be aware of. He indicated they do have the request to use the site as a staging area, and at least the initial proposal would result in the closure of the trail. Staff feels they can work cooperatively to keep that trail open as much as possible, but if we can't, the alternative might be to stage it somewhere else, which Zone 7 has indicated would most likely be their preference. He would like to have a discussion with them to see if they can come up with something that works for everyone. From a community's perspective, we would want to keep the trail open as much as possible because of the construction timeline being anywhere from a year and a half to two years. If the issue of closing down the trails for a two year period arises, that issue will be brought back to the Council for direction. Councilmember McGovern clarified they intend to break ground on this project in April or May of 2007 and hope the facility will be online by the summer of 2009. She questioned if the staging is done on Parcel "A" and the trail is used to get across to the property, could it be done during rainy weather. Ms. Duerig felt that could be done. Councilmember McGovern clarified the surface water being used will not degrade the groundwater basin. She additionally clarified the easement before the Council does not in any way affect the park itself and whether or not it can be expanded in the future. It was noted there is an existing irrigation system on the site, but as part of the improvements to be made by Zone 7 it will be enhanced and the landscaping will be improved. The Hacienda Business Park is responsible for the year-to-year maintenance. Mayor Hosterman opened the public hearing. Hearing no requests, the public hearing was closed.
