It's a bit confusing, but I believe the "greenway setback" for the "trail" is really nothing new. Shawn Karambelas of SK Northwest told me as much (he was originally planning to come to our HAND neighborhood association meeting, but will be out of town next Tuesday). If you look at the unbuilt trail route as shown in City documents, it goes right through where Shawn wants to put his buildings. The greenway setback is a different area, unbuildable, so there's no issue of SK Northwest having to grant an easement (while still refusing to build the trail).

The truly sad part of it if this goes through is that right next door Derek Hanna is planning to put two storage building towers, and he's committed to building the trail, and he's as frustrated as the neighborhood with SK Northwest's unwillingness to step to the plate and give back to the community while claiming exclusive access to the river.

This dude is being a jerk. That trail is the best advertising possible for his biz. If he was smart he would add kayaks to his fossil fueled boy toy rental biz and promote bike up rentals, put a cafe in and make a chill spot to sit and contemplate the riv.
