Ms. McPherson <br />reviewed the preliminary concept plan for a mixed use residential development located north <br />of Nordic Woods and south of Elk River Country Club. A portion of the site is adjacent to <br />the railroad grade. In the concept plan, the developer proposes approximately 7 ½ acres of <br />park providing a buffer along the railroad grade, with a large neighborhood park in the <br />southeast comer of the site. <br /> <br />The Commission discussed the need to maintain the green ttmnel effect of the railroad grade <br />trail, while still providing space for a neighborhood playground structure. The Commission <br />provided preliminary direction that a tong linear park, approximately 250 feet deep, paratlel <br />and adjacent the railroad grade is preferable. Several members of the Commission <br />volunteered to walk the site in order to identify an appropriate for the neighborhood <br />playground area. <br /> <br />Staff will provide the Commission's direction to the developer for inclusion in the ne~ <br />concept plan. <br /> <br /> <br />
