Mr. Raatikka stated it was and would be served by the current sewer line. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds asked if there was a possibility in the future of anything being done with the <br />higher ground area. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos explained that if the City would take it, they may not take it as <br />park dedication and it could be used for development in the future. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Shryock, seconded by Commissioner Ostmm, to maintain they require <br />trails on all three sides of the development to be developed because of the roads surrounding the <br />property without trail dedication and the developer would be required to construct a trail along <br />the entire area with credit to be given for trails outside of the plat. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Johns, Commissioners Shryock, Ostmm, LaMere, <br />Lehman, and Olds. Voting No: None. Absent: Rolfe. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka asked if only the area outside of the development would get credit. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos indicated that was correct. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka explained the comer plat was not going to be owned by the development because <br />there is an existing house on it and the owner wanted to keep it. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated they might be able offer a credit for that area. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns explained as far as park pieces, she did not think they would need that land <br />because of the larger parks in the area. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaMere noted there was one area in the development along the wetland that <br />would work as a nice rest area. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns stated she was afraid that they would get maintenance too spread out. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos commented that in the last subdivision, they had homeowner <br />association trails and they deeded an easement for public use over their trails and they agreed at a <br />staff level that would provide snow removal along the main road. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds asked if it could be dedicated to park but nothing being done with it. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns explained they would inevitably have people wanting it mowed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds indicated his concern was if it were not designated as natural area, it would <br />open it up to development in the middle of wetland. He stated his thought would be to try to <br />preserve it without doing anything with it. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/May 8, 2003 <br /> Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
