Commissioner Ostrum stated the priority should be to get to a point of knowing what will be land <br />dedication and what will be money, so they know what the costs will be and what they can or <br />cannot do. <br /> <br />Ms. Bartels indicated the space is dedicated as park land. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated every tree will cost a $300 minimum to install and <br />the plan shows thousands of trees. A swimming hole may cost one million dollars, the Skate <br />Park may cost one hundred thousand dollars, and any kind of building with restroom facilities <br />will be one hundred thousand dollars - or more. He does not think the negotiations will lead to <br />five million dollars worth of improvements plus land dedication. <br /> <br />Ms. Bartels commented they are trying to set a vision now for what they would like. If they do <br />not dream big they will not get anything. They may not get everything they want but it is good to <br />have what they want out there. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock inquired how it is handled when a developer builds a house and is <br />required to put in trees. She inquired if they could require the developer to put trees in the area <br />surrounding the development when there is not enough space for the required count in the <br />development. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood indicated he will check this with the Community <br />Development Department. <br /> <br />Ms. Bartels noted in Golden Valley there was not enough space for all the trees in a development <br />that was done and they started moving trees into boulevards and other areas. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns indicated the next Park and Recreation Commission meeting will be held <br />Thursday, Sept 11th at 6:00 p.m. at Alpine Park. This discussion will be incorporated as part of <br />the regular meeting. <br /> <br />Ms. Bartels indicated she will discuss tonight's meeting with Bruce Jacobson and will contact <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood within the next couple of days. Due to the push for the <br />final plat there may be issues that will need to be resolved by September 11th. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Ostrum, seconded by Commissioner Lehman, to adjourn the meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission meeting adjourned at 8:12 p.m. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/August 19, 2003 <br /> Page 9 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
