Chairperson Johns wondered if they were obligated to make a provision for a trail along 173ra in <br />approving this. She wondered if this was a requirement because it is a County road. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood thought consistency was important so they were treating <br />people fairly. He also thought this was unique because of all the wetlands and would be very <br />costly to build a trail along the road. He thought the Commission should have staff work with <br />the developer on a compromise for this. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Olds, seconded by Commissioner Shryock, to recommend park and <br />trail dedications in cash and to direct staff to work with the developer to find some equitable way <br />to get a trail and a 66 foot easement or trail easement along the front of the property and work <br />with the County to provide sufficient fight-of-way on 73rd in order to get a trail in. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Johns, Commissioners Olds, Shryock, and Lehman. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner LaMere. <br /> <br />Case//3: Sketch Plan Review for Amber Ridge 2"a Addition <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton explained E&G Development has submitted a sketch plan for Amber <br />Ridge 2nd Addition. This project is located at the south end of Argon Street. The project is <br />located in the Oxbow Recreation District. The site is zoned R-2, the developer is asking that it <br />be re-zoned to R-1 to allow for single family homes. This will require a comprehensive plan <br />amendment that will take some time to process. The development will have 5 single family lots <br />and one outlot. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton reviewed the case with the Commission. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns wondered if there were trails leading up to the cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton indicated there was not. <br /> <br />Civil Engineer II Linton noted this is a sketch plan and a minor plat. He noted there seemed to <br />be urgency from the planners that this comes before the Commission. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Shryock, seconded by Commissioner Olds, to recommend park and <br />trail dedications in cash and to direct staff to explore the trail connection on Waco Street across <br />the wetland as a part of the project. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Johns, Commissioners Shryock, Olds, and Lehman. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner LaMere. <br /> <br />COMMISSION/STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated they had an extremely warm January and it has <br />impacted the ice on the skating finks and they are working on recapturing the ice recently melted <br />in order for the finks to open this coming weekend. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/February 9, 2006 <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
