Consideration of recommendation on nark and trail development associated

Assistant Administrator O'Neill reviewed the preliminary plat. He noted
that the proposed area for park dedication is approximately equal to 10% of
the land area (7 acres); however, the park has relatively steep slopes.
O'Neill also reviewed the City pathway plan and noted the preliminary plat
identifies a sidewalk/on-road bike route (class II) trail that runs through the
development. He noted that the plan for pedestrian and bike traffic
movement is consistent with the trail plan.
After discussion, a motion was made by Bruce Thielen and seconded by
Larry Nolan to approve the park plan with the following contingencies:
The park should be graded in a manner to provide 5 acres of a 2%
slope. This fiat area is to be used for the playground area and for
active sports such as baseball, soccer, football, skating, etc. The 2
acres remaining may be sloped for use as a sliding hill.
The 5 -ft sidewalk proposed should be widened to 8 ft to meet pathway
standards. The Parks Commission supports the concept of reviewing
current street width standards.
Motion carried unanimously.
There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned.
