PARR BOARD MEETING <br /> May 9, 1990 <br /> wooded, populated with wetlands. There will be some wetland <br /> fill. The wetland by the proposed park land will be <br /> partially filled. <br /> Within the site is a 2.75 acre parcel proposed for park. <br /> This is 75% percent of the park dedication required. A <br /> wetland area will be adjacent to the park land, but not used <br /> as part of the park dedication requirement. <br /> The developer proposes a park trail through the park, a play <br /> area for children, horseshoe pits, picnic tables, and a <br /> viewing stand along the trail. <br /> Ray Johnson asked for clarification that the trails are not <br /> part of any park dedication requirement. <br /> Ray Johnson stated that when Dennis Ericksons developed D. <br /> Erickson's 2nd Addition, the park issue was not completed as <br /> was expected. And the park board wants to be sure that the <br /> park is completed as promised for Brandywood. <br /> Steve Johnston's proposal is for the land, along with $7, 000 <br /> cash to complete the park dedication requirement. <br /> Mark Fitzgerald, Developer, was also present at the meeting. <br /> They have been negotiating with the property owners in <br /> purchasing land immediately south of this parcel, they have <br /> not resolved this issue yet. <br /> Mark Fitzgerald stated that he talked with the adjacent land <br /> owners twice, and they made no decisions regarding whether or <br /> not they can purchase the land for park. They said they <br /> wanted to think about it but wouldn't rule it out. They <br /> consider their property a hobby farm. If they sell a portion <br /> of their land, they want to still be able keep their horse. <br /> If he could get that in writing, from the city, then they may <br /> be more willing. City code requires a five acre minimum to <br /> allow the resident to have a horse. If they sold enough of <br /> their land to meet the park dedication, the property owners <br /> would be shy of their five acre requirement by 4/10 of an <br /> acre. <br /> Bill Nissen pointed out that if they do accept the park <br /> dedication and the $7, 000.00 cash. They could use that money <br /> towards putting something nice into that park. <br /> Steve Johnstone stated that he is proposing to develop <br /> approximately 1/3 or the site now. <br /> John Miller joined the meeting to answer some questions <br /> regarding this plat. <br /> He said that this parcel is zoned rural. <br /> Page 3 <br />
