Director Frolik replied that is correct. The City Hall and Fire Station area are already zoned <br />Public/Quasi Public. Chairperson Nixt requested clarification that there will not be less than 7.5 <br />acres of private open space. Assistant Community Development Director replied there is a <br />requirement for 50% open space. She recalled that earlier in the day, she received information <br />indicating that the proposal includes approximately 67% open space; that calculation needs to be <br />verified. Chairperson Nixt stated the record should reflect that Item No. 10 will include a <br />minimum of 7.5 acres of private open space. <br /> <br />Motion Carried.
