Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that the Park and Recreation Commission will also <br />review the plans to provide input on the desired features. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that residents can provide input on the park elements that <br />they would like to see on this property through email. <br />Courtney stated that she believes that the boardwalk would be eliminated and some walking trails. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that the boardwalk would remain and provided additional <br />details on pedestrian connectivity. <br />Courtney asked the type of personality the park would have, whether the natural elements would <br />be preserved, or whether the area would be restructured for the entire area. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that the Wetland Conservation Act protects the wetlands <br />and their delineated boundaries. He stated that Trott Brook is also a protected element in the City <br />and its natural corridor. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl summarized the comments of the resident that she would prefer a <br />more rural character type of park, rather than the rural feel of The Draw. She stated that she could <br />connect the resident with Parks staff to provide additional input. <br />Pauline Nocks, 16931 Willemite St NW, stated that she interpreted the Comprehensive Plan to <br />designate 499 new residential units during the next ten-year period. She stated that the Hunt and <br />Trott Brook proposals would include 435 units, without counting the residential development <br />included in the previous case. She asked the purpose of projecting growth in the Comprehensive <br />Plan if the City is already proposing to exceed that projection within tonight's cases. She <br />commented that this is too much density too far outside of the The COR and Highway 10 corridor. <br />She explained that residents in this area purchases their property in order to remain in a more rural <br />type of development. She stated that change is an opportunity for growth but believed that the <br />City must also consider pleasing the existing residents and not just attempting to attract new <br />residents. She confirmed that she was referencing the Comprehensive Plan which runs through <br />2030. <br />Chairperson Bauer noted that the plan that runs through 2040 is in draft format and once adopted <br />will be the path the City plans to follow. <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill explained that these projects will not build 400 lots at one <br />time, noting that 20 to 40 lots would be built per phase. He explained that Brookfield took 10 to <br />15 years to complete its phasing. He confirmed that the growth fits within the forecasts for 2030 <br />and does not even reach the full growth anticipated for 2040. He stated that more aggressive <br />proposals have come through that staff has pushed back on in the past as well. He stated that he <br />would welcome additional conversations with the resident to help explain the previous and current <br />Comprehensive Plans. <br />Planning Commission/ May 7, 2020 <br />Page 14 of 29 <br />
