COMMISSION BUSINESS Case #1: Receive Sketch Plan for the Proposed Wurm-Paumen Subdivision Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos presented the sketch plan for a proposed 27-acre subdivision west of County Road 56 and south and west of 158th Lane. He explained that this property is likely to develop with six single-family lots as detailed in the Planning Commission case. The Planning Commission will review this proposed plat at their July 11, 2002 meeting and the Park Commission can make a formal Park Dedication recommendation at the August 8th, 2002 meeting. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos noted that in terms of the expected park and trail development, the Commission this property is on the Elmcrest Creek Trail route between Central and Elmcrest Park. Over the course of the next few weeks, Staff will meet with the Developers to review proposals on site for a non-wetland trail route. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos indicated the trail would most likely to be high ground but that a wetland crossing would be acceptable. He stated the developer may be willing to assist with the cost if a large portion of the trail would go through the wetland. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos noted land dedication would need to be made with this development. He noted a proposal for the trail and land dedication would be presented by the developer in August. Commissioner Olds asked if there were any trails along County Road 56 at this time. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos noted there was a trail north of this development and stated he felt a trail should be along this roadway. He stated this trail was not in the Trail Plan. Commissioner Johns asked if this development was within the school walking distance. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated he felt it was just outside the walking area. Chair Cook stated he felt the trail on County Road 56 should be made a part of the park dedication and to have the Commission update the trail map to make this a requirement. ! !
