development and an 8-foot trail was added south of Riverdale Drive when Rivenwick 3rd was developed. Commission can make park dedication at future meetings after revised plans are submitted. Commissioner Olds inquired on the map, there is a rectangle with a rectangle in the middle. He asked if this would be a swimming pool. Assistant Public Works Director Olson noted that was correct. They requested a swimming pool to be included and part of the Association which the Association would own and maintain. Commissioner Olds asked if the area surrounding the swimming pool would be park space. Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained it could be. Commissioner Olds stated this could be an area people in the development could go to for green open space, not the general public. Commissioner Shryock asked if the ponds on the plat, had pathways around them and the roadway through the development would be a public road. Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained the pathways did go around the ponds and originally the Association came out and stated they were only going to have private roads but the City did not allow that because it does not comply with City codes. The City is requiring public roads. Commissioner Shryock inquired if there would be sidewalks on the south side of the development or somewhere in the development. Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained it shows on the map proposed but he did not recall one on Riverdale. Commissioner Shryock stated with the traffic and speeds on the road, they should have sidewalks around the development. Assistant Public Works Director Olson agreed and asked if the sidewalks should be all around the development. Commissioner Shryock noted if the sidewalk is not on the south side of Riverdale, it should be on the north side and there should be a pedestrian crosswalk there.
