• MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> FROM: PARK& RECREATION COMMISSION <br /> DATE: FEBRUARY 17, 1994 <br /> SUBJECT: COUNTRY CROSSING PLAT <br /> The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the Country Crossing preliminary plat at <br /> their regular meeting on 2/9/94. The Commission spent a good deal of time discussing <br /> the needs for a pedestrian trail in this area. The primary need in to connect a trail from <br /> Orono Parkway to the trail that separates Mississippi Oaks and Heritage Landing, south <br /> of County Road 30. <br /> The Commission considered four options: <br /> • 1. Paint stripe a path between the curb line and the traffic line on Fresno Street. <br /> 2. Widen Gary Street and paint stripe a path between the curb line and the traffic line <br /> on Gary Street. <br /> 3. Widen the right-of-way on Gary Street and place the trail behind the curb with a <br /> five foot boulevard along Gary Street. <br /> 4. Create a twenty foot wide outlot along the eastern plat boundary, placing trail in <br /> the back yards of the homes facing Fresno Street and Gary Street. <br /> The Park and Recreation Commission passed a motion (6-0) to recommend Option #4 to <br /> the City Council, including trail connections on the lot lines between Lots 7 & 8 and Lots <br /> 18 & 19 from Gary Street to the north/south trail corridors. <br /> A second motion was passed(6-0)to calculate the property dedicated to trail use and give <br /> the developer credit toward the required Park Dedication Fee, with the remaining Park <br /> Dedication Fee to be accepted in cash. <br />
