Mr. Ron Bastyr, representing Windsor Development, discussed his reasons for not wanting to dedicate Lots 10 and 11 as park land. He proposed that some type of identification to the park be constructed. Mr. Bastyr stated that he felt that the trees which may be affected by the trail construction should be removed now, rather than wait until they die several years from now. He asked the Commission to consider basing the trail fee on actual construction bids and crediting the developer for that amount. Mr. Bastyr felt that the trail could be accomplished without giving up Lots 10 and 11 by constructing a retaining wall. He stated that he plans to locate the NURP pond as far north as possible so that only a portion will be within the park. Discussion followed regarding inclusion of Lots 10 and 11, Block 3, in the park dedication. The Commissioners also discussed Mr. Bastyr's proposal to remove trees which may be damaged by the trail, and, to base the credit for trail construction on actual bids. It was the consensus of the Commissioners that staff and the City Council address these issues.
