Motion by Commissioner Rolfe, seconded by Commissioner LaMere to approve the preliminary <br />plat, with Park Dedication and Trail Fees consisting of cash, and the developer be required to <br />provide the City with a trail easement parallel with T.H. #47 in a recordable form. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos noted there have been many changes since the Commission last <br />discussed this case in December and January. The private recreational space may be adequate for <br />some townhome complexes. He also mentioned it was helpful to hear the developer's proposals <br />at the meetings in December and January. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe noted the developer has met the requests of the Park and Recreation <br />Commission in terms of the open space and the easement. He questioned if the new <br />considerations given to the new townhomes should be made retroactive to this developer. He <br />stated they shouldn't.

Commissioner LaMere said he could attend early in the morning as <br />well. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Johns advised since some larger projects are being worked on, it may be helpful t° <br />share some of the positives with the community. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaMere suggested a self-guided display be created. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock suggested displaying a map of the parks for the new residents, possibly in <br />poster form. <br /> <br />commissioner Rolfe noted there had been some ll"x17" City maps available at one time that <br />residents could pick up, as well as some aerial photos. He questioned if Staff has the time and <br />availability to put a display together. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Commissioner Boos responded Staff could create something and possibly use <br />something that's been displayed in the past. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/April 11, 2002 <br /> Page 10 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
