<br />Case File: 06-03 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Lot Size: The Commission felt a minimum lot size of 11,000 sq ft, with an average of 14,000 <br />was more appropriate for the area. <br /> <br />Trails: The Commission felt that more trails be added, specifically through block 9 and 11. <br />These trails would reduce the distance a resident would need to walk to get to the large park and <br />school site. <br /> <br />Open Space: The Commission felt that additional open space was necessary in the <br />southern portion of the Plat. This seems to concur with the Park and Recreation Commissions <br />recommendation to provide for a minimum of 2 useable acres along the southern edge of the plat <br /> <br />Recommendations: The Planning Commission reviewed the conditions recommended by <br />staff, and after discussion, forwarded the fonowing tecommended 21 conditions, should the Council <br />desire to approve the Plat (as proposed on plans dated October 30, 2006). <br /> <br />1.
