Provide copies of all local, regional, state, and federal permits for the project to the City prior to commencement of development. 5. All of the above conditions shall be fully and faithfully executed or the site plan shall become null and void. In response to the Commission's question regarding sidewalk connections on this site, Dr. Kelly Brock, Deputy Public Works Director/City Engineer, explained that the sidewalks were discussed during the design of this project. He stated there are no plans in the City's current transportation master plan to construct sidewalks on the south side of Lake Ellen Drive and it did not make sense for the business to extend the sidewalk in that direction. Dr. Brock said they focused on adding improvements to South US Highway 17/92. He said that was a better focus area for this project.
