CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES - January 5 , 1987 MOTION: Ken Johnson moved to approve the 1/5/87 meeting minutes as presented. Mr. Baumann seconded the motion which carried unani- mously. GARY UHDE/REGENCY HOMES PARK DEDICATION Mr. Neumeister represented Regency Homes and explained the plans which have been put together by Regency Homes as satisfaction of park dedication for the South Reshanau Lake Estates plat which is being proposed. (The preliminary plat has been approved by City Council contingent upon passage of the proposed comprehensive plan amendment allowing utilities in this area. ) Mr. Neumeister, with the use of a colored map dated 11/7/86 , showed the approximate ten acres which is proposed as a neighborhood park within this plat . The proposal included the requests made by the Park Board during their initial review of this proposed plat during 12/86 . The consensus of the Board was that the area proposed and the uses proposed were acceptable . Mr . Neumeister particularly wanted the Board to understand that the approximate 10-acre piece was satisfaction of the entire 80 acres which Regency Homes plans to develop and that the preliminary plat which has been approved by Council shows only the "first phase" of that development (about 2/3 of the total 80-acre parcel) . Residents from the Colonial Woods plat (which will be adjacent to this 80 acres) were in attendance and voiced concern that the Regency Homes plat calls for nearly 100 lots of approximately 1/4 acre each. The Colonial Woods plat (with no utilities ) has one-acre lots . These residents suggested that the park land be situated along their boundary for two reasons : 1 ) To serve as a "buffer" between the lesser and greater densities , and 2) To serve as a park for Colonial Woods residents since they have no park within their plat . Currently , there is a road easement in the Colonial Woods plat which would connect the two plats . The Colonial Woods residents asked that the Park Board consider making that road easement a park area . (This issue was discussed at length later during this evening 's meeting . )
