Community Development Director Gladhill replied that it would simply be the land and the City <br /> would be responsible for the construction of the trail at some time in the future. <br /> Mayor Strommen stated that the greenway does not seem to connect to the park and forecloses a <br /> meaningful connection. She stated that she appreciates the work that staff, the developer, and the <br /> Board and Commissions have done in attempt to firm up the details on the corridor. She stated <br /> that the greenway corridor has been mapped for years and it seems unfortunate that something <br /> that is so important now was not considered when that project previously came forward. She <br /> stated that they are getting something that has already been promised to residents in the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. She stated that this is 27 lots out of a 97-home development and this <br /> seems like moving the pieces around rather than receiving a great benefit. She appreciated the <br /> offer of the greenway from Hageman Holdings but did not see it being a significant net gain in <br /> return for the rezoning. <br /> Councilmember LeTourneau stated that this project is very market driven and therefore he is <br /> attempting to justify how this could all work as he does not want to see it go away. He stated <br /> that he mentioned the disconnection in the greenway at a previous meeting and was glad Mayor <br /> Strommen brought that up tonight. He stated that he is intrigued by stepping back in attempt to <br /> preserve a bigger piece for the community to allow a better flow. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood provided additional details on how <br /> the connection could occur, noting that the greenway is not as direct as originally proposed but <br /> provides the best connection through the developments. <br /> Mayor Strommen noted that the piece proposed to be constructed in this development would take <br /> away the option to connect in the other location to the east. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember LeTourneau, to introduce <br /> Ordinance #17-16 Granting a Conditional Zoning Amendment to Planned Unit Development and <br /> Adopt Resolution #17-11-276 Authorizing a Conditional Rezoning Agreement for North Fork <br /> Meadows, with the addition of requiring the density transitioning to meet the requirements of the <br /> City policy. <br /> Further discussion: Councilmember LeTourneau clarified that the density transitioning would be <br /> required to meet the specifications of the City policy. Mayor Strommen stated that she will not <br /> support this action as it does not address her concern for the greenway. <br /> Motion failed 2-4. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Riley and LeTourneau. Voting No: Mayor <br /> Strommen, Councilmembers Johns, Kuzma, and Shryock. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to deny Ordinance #17- <br /> 16 Granting a Conditional Zoning Amendment to Planned Unit Development and deny <br /> Resolution #17-11-276 Authorizing a Conditional Rezoning Agreement for North Fork <br /> Meadows. <br /> City Council/November 28,2017 <br /> Page 10 of 12 <br />
