Update on 2/19/02 City Council Meeting - Commissioner Briggs Commissioner Briggs presented that Council Member Kuester had a concern as to whether or not there would be a trail essentially dividing Trott Brook South and Trott Crossing, heading into Hillside Park. At the present time, the Commission has only recommended a trail at the northeasterly end of Trott Brook Crossing to provide access to Hillside Park. He stated that Ms. McPherson suggested that the residents of the developments would facilitate a trail through their own financing, via the homeowners association as this is a townhome development. 11. Update on 2/26/02 Planning Commission Meeting - Chair Peterson Chair Peterson reported that the topic was on the development of Windsor Park III, which is the development split by County Road 33. The discussion between the Commission members and the Planning Commission with regard to this being an appropriate park in giving them the density as the park continues from the south side to the north side of County Road 33. He reported that the basic consensus was that they did not feel there was a safe way to cross the street to get to the park, and the density should not be allowed on the south side of the street. Hence, the Commission voted to send this issue forward but to deny the plat based on that issue solely. Ms. McPherson stated that this issue will now be presented to the Council.
