Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 January 8, 2025 thinks that people will want to be down by the woods on a dock dropping a fishing line, drop in a kayak, or just being in nature. They gave this to their park designers at Carlson McCain and they produced the idea of an 18-hole disc golf course. There are wetlands and an area above the 10-year flood plain area that could be a park, etc. On the right side of the design there is an Oak Savannah area they envision a pavilion or something to be a gathering point over the vista. There is about forty acres in the park dedication and then fifteen acres of the berm that will be maintained by the HOA (they know the berm is not part of the park dedication but consider it an asset). Commissioner Loidolt said that he thinks a disc golf course would be great, but he will turn it over to the other commissioners for questions and comments. He said he would like to walk the property with them to see the vision from Capstone. Commissioner Stewart asked if Planning has looked at it. Mr. Shelby confirmed that the plan will go to the Planning Commission meeting on January 28th with the lots and streets drawn in as seen tonight. Commissioner Stewart shared that he has concerns about what is defined park dedication space and what is not i.e., wetlands vs. uplands and what they can accept. He asked what kind of population mix and number of kids in the development with kids. Mr. Barker said there will be 533 single-family homes with smaller sizes by the berm and then larger homes as they get closer to the river. About 2,000 to 3,000 people with three to four people per home. Commissioner Stewart said this development seems very cut off for the rest of the other parks so he feels there should be a playground incorporated into this neighborhood. Commissioner Varty said she agrees with Commissioner Stewart that there needs to be a playground area. She said that she is concerned about how much area is a play area in the green space. Mr. Barker said the play area is 2-3 acres and then a large playground in the “park area” that is grey on the plan. Mr. Barker agrees that walking the property would be a good idea. She also said she has concerns about parking if there was a disc golf course there. He said there would be 30 parking spots along the top part of the development right outside the park as well as the on- street parking along the road that runs to the future overpass on Hwy 10. They have designed that road to be wider to accommodate for this. Commissioner Loidolt said that with the disc golf course being in a flood plain in the spring they would not be able use the lower eight holes. He has concern about that area being a future park and potentially not being able to use portions of it throughout the year. Mr. Shelby said that a special meeting would have to be called tonight with a date and time to set up the tour or Mr. Barker and/or Capstone staff could go out individually or in small groups with the commissioners. Commissioner Loidolt said that he would not feel comfortable selecting a date tonight with the other three commissioners not present so he would rather do the smaller group tours. Page 4 of 33
