MEMBERS ABSENT: Alderman McClatchey.
OTHERS PRESENT: Mayor Busse, Alderman Teta, Roger Gerstad, Developer.
PURPOSE OF MEETING: Discuss Park Land Donation.
-FIRST MATTER DISCUSSED: Developer ponation - Winding Creek Unit 5, lst
Addition.
DECISION OR RECOMMENDATION: After much discussion about the general
inadequacies of our developer donation fees as stated in the Subdivision
Control Ordinance, and a number of land and dollar donation combinations
suggested by council members in attendance, the recommendation stated below
was felt to be in the best interest of the City Park system and fair to the
developer.
Preservation of open space within easy access to homeowners whose
purchase price included those fees seemed to be common comment from all in
attendance. Developer did not fully agree with the recommendations.
The Park Committee recor�nends to the full City Council that the
developer be required to donate five (5) acres and $50,000 in lieu of any
other developer donation fee for parks. The land should be along the
northern border of the parcel to allow for further expansion with the future
development of land north of this site. The exact location of the five (5)
acres shall be determined after on site inspection by the Director of Parks
and Recreation and members of the City Council .
ADJOURNMENT TIME: 9:30 p.m. Randy Patterson, Chairman
