Included in these minutes are some <br />recommendations which should be reviewed by the City Council. <br /> <br />1. The Commission desires to change its monthly meeting date <br />to the second Wednesday of each month. This will provide <br />time for the Commission to review development proposals <br />prior to Planning Commission review of a concept or <br />preliminary plat. This change in meeting date would <br />require an ordinance change. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />The Commission requested Council approval to have staff <br />spend some time with the Commission on working towards a <br />more detailed park and trail plan for the areas in the <br />City that are anticipated to be developed in the near <br />future. The proposal would be for a Focus Area Study for <br />parks and trails that would serve as a guide for future <br />development proposals. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />3. The Commission restated its oplnlon that parks and trails <br />should be provided in the Moldenhauer and Barnier <br />properties that are being platted. The preliminary plats <br />for these two areas have already been approved and, <br />therefore, the official controls of the City have already <br />been established. Additional park requirements cannot be <br />placed upon developers unless they agree to provisions <br />that are requested by the City. <br /> <br />4. The Commission was very upset about the cutting of trees <br />on MnDOT property along the shopping center area west of <br />Highway 169. They requested Council approval to offer a <br />reward that would lead to arrest and conviction of the <br />responsible parties for cutting these trees. The <br />Commission strongly felt that trees are necessary in <br />providing the image that the City wishes to project to our <br />citizens and drive through commuters. <br /> <br />5. The Commission requested park fees from the North Meadows <br />preliminary plat. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />P.O.
