Park & Recreation Commission Minutes October 10, 2001 Page 6 Mr. Rolf would like the Commission to endorse the requirement that the landfill provide additional berms and screening to the area to lessen the impact of this trail corridor. COMMISSION DANA ANDERSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE LANDFILL COMES WITHIN THE 100' OF THE RAILROAD BED; THAT THE AREA BE RE-VEGETATED AND RE-BERMED TO KEEP THE NATURAL AESTHETICS OF THE GRADE INTACT. COMMISSIONER DEWALL SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 9.C.1. Waco Street Trail Ms. McPherson presented that the City recently completed the extension of Business Center Drive. The Master Park Plan indicates an extension of both the Waco Street and County Road 30 trails. At some point in the future, Waco Street will needto be reconstructed and staff anticipates extending the bituminous trail along the west side of Waco Street south to County Road 30. The City could work with the developer as was discussed at the last meeting, to continue with the Co. Rd. 30 trail. There will be missing link which will have to resolved between the east and west edges of Sandpiper Estates. Ms. McPherson requested feedback from the Commission as to the direction of the project at this time. The Commission was in agreement with the comments from Ms. McPherson. 9.C.2. Consider Revised Trail Reimbursement Policies Ms. McPherson stated that in late 1999 or early 2000, the City identified a reimbursement policy for the construction of bituminous trails through various subdivisions. This year, the City reimbursed two developers at a total cost of $47,234.80. Both reimbursements were unanticipated expenditures from the park dedication fund and staff is requesting further direction regarding reimbursing developers for trail construction. Ms. McPherson stated that the current rate of reimbursement is $14.00 per lineal foot, but the market rate is between $7.00 and $8.00 per lineal foot. Staff suggests a reduction in the reimbursement rate to market levels. COMMISSIONER DANA ANDERSON MOVED TO ADJUST DOWN THE REIMBURSEMENT RATE TO $8 PER LINEAL FOOT, IF SOMETHING EXCEEDS THAT COST, THEN IT WOULD BE EXAMINED ON A CASE-BY- CASE BASIS. COMMISSIONER HUBERTY SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. nsider 2002 Fees Ms. McPherson discussed the two sets of fees to be considered: 1) Park dedication fees; 2) Shelter reservation fees.

In recent years, it has been recommended an increase of approximately 5% on the residential park dedication fees, a 5% increase from this year would essentially raise the amount approximately $73, rounded down to $1,540 per residential lot.
