. . . Park & Recreation Commission Minutes May 12, 2004 Page 4 9.B.1. Consider Park Dedication P 04-09 River Park Director of Planning, Michele McPherson reported that the applicant has submitted a "coved" plat, which includes both single family and townhome style units, for the City's consideration. The developer proposes two park facilities totaling 8.4 acres. One facility is located in the central part of the site and includes one of the site's detention ponds. The second park facility is located along the south property line adjacent to a vacant developable site. Staff is not supportive of the coving principle and shared a draft concept for development utilizing single family detached and attached townhome style units. The staff draft concept utilizes a traditional grid system and includes the use of alleys. In the staff concept approximately 9 acres of additional park has been identified along the west edge of the site. This is the only wooded area on the development parcel. The staff proposal also avoids many of the wetlands on site and relocates the ponds out of the park area and into areas outside of proposed parkland. Commissioner Anderson asked what kind of trees are in the wooded area. Mr. Hals responded that he thought they were oak. Commissioner Paige stated that it would be nice to have information on the kind and quality of the trees in the wooded area. MOVED BY COMMISSIONER POLSTON-HORKAND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER NIZIOLEK TO TABLE DISCUSSION ON PARK DEDICATION FOR RIVER PARK UNTIL THE JUNE MEETING AND GET MORE INFORMATION ON THE WOODED AREA.
