Commissioner Shryock thought they needed to focus on the one area because it would be easier <br />to maintain a larger area of park then a few small areas. She thought they should try to maintain <br />the green space they have going through Town Center. <br /> <br />Associate ?lanner Wald stated this development is trying to connect to Town Center through a <br />large green space within the development. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds asked on the southeast comer of the map, has there been any discussion that <br />the area would be redeveloped because of Town Center. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald stated the whole area is going to be redeveloped as a bigger box <br />commercial area. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns thought they needed to set aside some active park use space for this <br />development in the northwestern comer. <br /> <br />Cmmnissioner Shryock asked how wet the land was connecting to Itasca north of Alpine Drive. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated it depended on where they were at in the parcel. <br />There could be significant grading in the area and make it an active use area. He thought the area <br />needed to be looked at for entrances and site lines and what the needs would be for the existing <br />and future residents of the area. They need to really look at this space very carefully so they do <br />not box themselves in. He thought part of the space should be along Alpine Drive. <br /> <br />Corn missioner Ostrum thought they would want some land dedication for park use. <br /> <br />Comlnissioner Shryock thought the trails should be built as they develop the area. She stated at <br />some time the trail will cross the road and they should have a crossing on the road or indication <br />o f thc crossing. <br /> <br />Case #5: Consider Outdoor Meeting Schedule <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood explained for many years, the Park and Recreation <br />Commission has held regular meetings outdoors in the months of May through September or <br />October (weather pending). This provided the Commission an opportunity to inspect and <br />comment on parks as a group and it afforded residents' access to the Commission on a <br />neighborhood level. On the occasions of inclement weather, the Commission has conducted the <br />regular meetings at 6:30 p.m. at Fire Station #1. The purpose of this case is to confirm the <br />Commission's desire for outdoor meetings in 2005 and, if so, what the locations will be. <br /> <br />May Flintwood Terrace Park <br />June Alpine Park <br />July Central Park <br />August Town Center <br />September Elmcrest Park <br />October Tentative <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/April 14, 2005 <br /> Page 7 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
