Motion carried 7-0 7.4 Oakwater Ridge/Specht Farm - Park Dedication Mr. Shelby presented his report. Since the last meeting staff and city council have continued to have conversations with the developer as well as community members to get to a point to determine what is acceptable park dedication. Mr. Shelby presented a slide show that not included in the packet. The conversations continued to evolve up until the meeting, so he wanted to make sure they had the most up to date information. Mr. Shelby reiterated that the numbers are approximate due to ongoing conversations with council, staff, and the developer. Mr. Stremcha added that with stages of the development occurring later, and the current field being tillable, the trail would not necessarily be developed now. Chair Anderson shared that he sees the plan as like the commission’s previous recommendation except for the 8-acre blufftop park. About half of the light shaded grey area is part of the blufftop which is about an acre, the rest is on the slope. He believes the type of structures they would want to build in this area would fit in that blufftop park giving patrons the view of the river that the commission wanted but it would not provide a large open area like Trott Brook Park. Chair Anderson said eventually part of the low land area could be turned into turf for recreational play. Chair Anderson said this would still be quite a way for residents to walk if they are further out by the road. He said he believes linear recreation for patrons to walk and bike on is very popular in this neighborhood, so he thinks it is very important to make sure the trail connects. Chair Anderson said City Council will see the commission’s recommendations on Monday as a discussion item on the agenda, then the Planning Commission again and then Council again for preliminary approval. He thanked Mr. Shelby and Mr. Stremcha for their time and for taking the time to include him in the conversations.
