Memorandum to the Park and Recreation Commission dated <br />March 31, 1994. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The Planning Commission originally recommended approval of this <br />preliminary plat as it was presented which consisted of 97 lots throughout <br />the entire 40 acre parcel. However, at the City Council meeting Park and <br />Rec Commission Chairman. Dave Anderson, offered some comments <br />regarding the number of trees that existed along the north end of the project <br />and expressed an interest to save these trees. One option expressed by Mr. <br />Anderson was to have approximately the northerly seven acres dedicated as <br />park to assure complete protection of the large stand of trees. The other <br />option would be to increase the lot sizes considerably to enhance the <br />preservation of the trees. The City Council directed staff to meet with the <br />developers and present a revised plat to the Park Commission for their <br />consideration as well as bringing the plat back to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />P.O.
