COMMISSION BUSINESS: Case #1: FOX PARK PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT STATUS The consensus of the Commission at the September 8, 1994 meeting was to re-poll the neighborhood immediately surrounding the park to determine whether or not to proceed with park development and to determine what the residents in the area wanted for their park. Forty responses were received from the poll with the majority of the residents indicating they wanted play equipment. Nine residents wanted no park development at all. Mr. Dave Koepsell, 17201 Sodium Street,was the only resident present at the meeting even though the letter sent with the poll indicated that a decision would be made at tonight's meeting. Mr. Koepsell indicated that his wife had been present at the September meeting and felt that the majority of residents were against park development. Mr. Koepsell stated he did not receive either survey, although he indicated he is in favor of the plan with playground equipment and a boardwalk. Discussion ensued regarding budget and timeline. Motion by Commissioner Henn and seconded by Chairperson Hetland to table the case until later this winter when Mr. Boos can refine the budget, park plan and time line for construction. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Chairperson Hetland, Commissions Cook, Henn, and Johns. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Florentius. Case #2: RECOMMEND PARK DEDICATION FOR FOX KNOLL Mark Kleckner of Fox Development Company and Mr. Boos presented the revised preliminary plat which consists of a 10-acre lot and a 12-acre lot, indicating that the trail will be completely off-road and that an additional road right-of-way might possibly be added to the cul-de-sac with grading to commence as soon as November of 1994 and trail construction completed concurrent with street paving.
