Park & Recreation Commission Minutes December 13, 2000 Page 7 . shelters. They are suggesting to provide the trail to increase public safety and to allow children to travel off of the public street. Commissioner Dave Anderson suggested that the developer consider allowing a portion of the open space proposed to be farmed to revert to the City for public park space after the owner is no longer interested in farming. Mr. Brown stated that he would take that to the developer and the property owner for consideration. It was the consensus of the Commission that at this time, no credit would be given for the proposed trail. 9.B.2. Consider Conceot Plan - S & Z Enterprises Director of Planning Michele McPherson presented the townhome concept plan. The concept plan is on 38 acres which is currently wooded, partially open, and contains a wetland complex. The proposal is for approximately 180 town homes, a portion of which would be single family detached "bay homes", the remaining would be located in 1 0 and 12 unit buildings. The concept plan proposes one entry drive and a horseshoe loop for public streets. The remaining streets in the development would be privately owned and maintained by the homeowner's association. . In discussions with the developer, staff has suggested providing sidewalks along the public streets which will connect to the detached trail along the westerly side of Waco Street. At this time, no parks are proposed, as the Park and Recreation Commission recently identified the Wilson property as a potential location for a neighborhood park. It was the consensus of the Commission to ask for cash dedication and to require the developer to install sidewalks along the public streets. 9.C.1.
