After a discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to retain this neighborhood park at this location. Staff recommendations for the urban trail system in general terms are: (1) the trails should be in front yards as much as possible; (2) trails should be built early in the development process, signed as hiking/biking trails, surfaced with Class 5 until such time that house constructions is sufficiently completed so newly paved trails are not damaged by construction equipment and then paved with a bituminous surface; (3) trails be incorporated along existing roadways only where there is no other opportunity to do it in other ways and then only along 30 m.p.h. streets. . COMMISSIONER OLSON MOVED TO FOLLOW STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS ON THESE THREE POINTS. COMMISSIONER DANA ANDERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0.
