Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Johns, Commissioners Lehman, Olds, LaMere, <br />Pontius and Shryock. Voting No: None. Absent: Ostmm. <br /> <br />COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: Park Dedication for the Meadow <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton stated GM Homes has submitted the preliminary plat for The Meadow, a <br />single family home project on the site of the current City Hall, Fire Station and Police Station. <br />They are proposing 51 single family, urban service lots. This development is in the Prairie <br />Recreation District. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns stated originally they proposed a four acre park on the land. She did not see <br />any dedication from the developer for a park. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton stated they are not but the current City Hall site will remain <br />public/quasi-public. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns thought the site was being reserved for a future school and if they did put in a <br />park, it may be taken down when a school is built. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton indicated even with a school, there will be open space. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated if there was a middle school, there may be little need <br />for a play area but the elementary school does have a playground area. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns thought there will be small children in the development because of the <br />schools being so close and it would be nice not to have to cross County 5 to get to the <br />playground. She wondered how much land was being reserved for the school site. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds indicated the report did not state how much land would be reserved. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton thought it was around fifteen acres reserved for a future school. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock wondered if in the future they could use the fire station land as a play <br />ground area because she thought they were trying to get away from tot lots. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pontius stated they discussed other things such as a skateboard park and he <br />thought this may be an ideal place for it with being by schools and in a neighborhood with people <br />always around. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Shryock, seconded by Commissioner Olds, to recommend park <br />dedication in cash and require the public use area remain under City control and a trail dedication <br />in cash with credit given for the trails constructed outside the plat boundaries. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/November 10, 2005 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
