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 />
