Motion carried 6-0. <br />5.OPEN FORUM <br />6.ACTION ITEMS <br />6.1 Perkins Acres - Park Dedication <br />Mr. Shelby presented his report. Commissioner Niziolek asked to review the map. He said the <br />conceptual trail alignment is on the south instead of the north. He said he isn’t sure if they need to <br />clarify when the property is developed to the west the trail will go to the north. Chair Anderson said it <br />is just a conceptual drawing that is not site specific. Commissioner Niziolek said due to the location of <br />wetlands to the south he doesn’t believe the trail would go there so he thinks they should mention it <br />would most likely be to the north. He doesn’t want a developer to be surprised by that. Mr. Shelby said <br />he believes that it has already been addressed by planning and is stipulated in the language when this <br />was discussed in 2018. <br />Moved by Commissioner Niziolek and seconded by Commissioner Loidolt to recommend <br />that park dedication for Perkins Acres be paid in cash for one single family parcel, at the <br />applicable rate at the time of recording and a trail access easement with the final location <br />and width to be determined by City Council and staff. Motion carried 6-0. DRAFTPage 2 of 25
