EXPANDED WALKWAY EASEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN JERRY'S ENTRPRISES, INC. AND CITY OF
EDINA APPROVED Planning Director Teague presented the proposal to expand the existing walkway
between the City's parking ramp and Jerry's Hardware Store. He displayed a site map of the subject site,
and described the locations of two pedestrian ramps and public access points. Mr. Teague then
displayed the proposed building plan to expand the pedestrian bridge/ramp and provide a new rear
entrance into the hardware store accessing the rental and service activities for people brining in
lawnmowers or snowblowers. The proponent would pay for the construction and continue its
responsibility for maintenance. Since the ramps were located on HRA-owned property, it had the ability
to approve or deny this request.
