Commissioner Sis asked if there is a reason the phasing has changed. Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that he believes that it is cost driven as the newly proposed phasing would take advantage of the availability of utilities and the area where phasing was previously proposed to begin would involve additional costs for utilities, roads, and other infrastructure. Councilmember Musgrove asked if this would only apply if the development phasing occurs from west to east. Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood confirmed that to be true but was confident that the applicant would be requesting phasing in this manner. Commissioner Walker commented that there are some issues with the Hunt property and change in ownership which has resulted in additional costs for paving of that road. He believed that was a driving force in the change in phasing. Consensus of the Commission was to direct staff to prepare the Trott Brook Crossing Development Agreement for City Council consideration, specifying that Park Dedication and Trail Fees shall be due in the full cash amount for each lot created until such time as the park land is acquired by the City and trails and boardwalks are completed. 5.03: Acknowledge 2023 Parking Lot Reconstruct— Central Park Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood commented that this presents an opportunity to place medians in the parking lot that could capture water. He stated that currently the water sheet flows across the parking lot and goes across the street, which also causes icing conditions in the winter. He stated that the water will be better used in the medians as trees and landscaping can be planted in the medians as well. He stated that this project will move forward with the 161' Avenue project. He noted that staff would schedule with the association on the construction time period. He stated that this is a draft of a configuration but noted that they are attempting to angle parking with one-way aisles in order to better direct traffic. He stated that this item was presented for informational purposes as it will go forward to the City Council for approval and provided details on funding for the project. Commissioner Sis asked if this is the only section of pavement that is being replaced, noting another area of parking. Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that he would recommend that it be done all at once. He stated that the far parking area and small parking area are both in good shape and could perhaps use an overlay. Commissioner Loss asked if the basketball hoop would remain or be removed. Parks&Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood replied that the basketball hoop would remain as it does get use when there is not parking in that area.
