Mr. Riverblood stated City Staff supports either Option presented. Another sketch plan was <br />received for 151 units near Lake Itasca, on the east side of Puma Street, and when platted would <br />provide even more justification for aligning the Capstone Park Dedication monies towards the <br />Community Park. <br />Commissioner Trappen believes there is some middle ground. <br />Mr. Riverblood explained Option 1 and noted that option does not credit Park Dedication for <br />what the developer is proposing for Outlot C. This matches existing Parks and Trail Plan and <br />Park Development Policy. Option 2 would allow for a $275,300 Park Dedication credit. <br />Mr. Bona stated one caveat with respect to Option 2 would be the "nature based" playground —if <br />it costed more than $100,000, they would insist on more credit. They do not know the cost for a <br />nature based playground. Mr. Riverblood clarified Option 2 includes the items listed as a not -to - <br />exceed amount with no caveat. <br />Commissioner Trappen asked if the plan is set in stone. <br />Mr. Bona said it is for the most part but if agreement cannot be met, the park will be removed <br />and single-family lots being in its place. <br />Commissioner Trappen asked if the ponds could be relocated and the path be relocated which <br />would make more sense. He believes the children need a place to play. <br />Acting Chair Sis suggested an Option 3 where the developer would come back with a revised <br />proposal creating more of a corridor passageway, and shifting the street to allow the mini park to <br />be adjacent to the trail. <br />Mr. Bona asked how wide the trail needs to be and Acting Chair Sis stated a more direct route <br />would appear wider. <br />Mr. Riverblood stated 35 feet of greenspace along the trail would be appropriate for this location. <br />Mr. Bona stated there is a lot of information on the small piece of paper containing the <br />drawing —the trail corridor is wider than it appears. <br />Commissioner Trappen would like to see a greenway plan more realistic as to what was seen <br />originally. <br />Mr. Bona stated the pond can be reviewed. The pond will be quite deep because material will <br />need to be removed to fill in the property. The wetlands will not be affected. Mr. Bona stated if <br />the pond was made smaller, material would need to be brought onto the site and that is <br />expensive. If basements are to be on the homes the site needs to be raised. <br />Commissioner Tchuinkwa asked what is wrong with Option 1. <br />Park and Recreation Commission/May 11, 2017 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br />
