He noted this was a complete change on <br />how the City and developers approached development. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoenbauer noted traditional approaches had not resulted in preservation of green <br />space and the City needed to look at differe nt concepts to preserve open space. <br /> <br />Mr. Tralle expressed concern about the City budget for the preservation of green space <br />being one of the first budgets to be cut in economic hard times. Mr. Schoenbauer stated <br />this was an economic consideration and he s uggested the City have some type of an <br />endowment set up to ensure there would be funds to maintain the green space. <br /> <br />Mr. Tralle asked who would maintain the open space. Mr. Schoenbauer replied it <br />depended how the developer and City wanted to deal with it, but the most common way <br />was the developer setting aside funds into an endowment fund and the interest earned <br />from that fund would manage the resources. He noted a homeowners association could <br />also pay through their monthly dues for th e maintenance of these areas. He <br />acknowledged these were difficu lt concepts to regulate into a process, but it was his <br />experience that these types of concepts worked well. He noted staff needed the latitude <br />to negotiate with the developer and the City need ed to realize that they might have to give <br />up some things to get a good development. <br /> <br />Mr. Tralle asked what were the plans for bi ke trails on already established areas. Mr. <br />Schoenbauer replied there were multiple la yers proposed through the City, even for <br />established areas. However, he acknowledged there were economic c onsiderations to be <br />looked at also. <br /> <br />Mr. Root asked what was the City’s levera ge on these developments. Mr. Schoenbauer <br />replied there were a lot of tools the City had to get the developments where they wanted <br />them and he was working with staff and th e City Attorney to look at these various <br />options. <br /> <br />Chair Rafferty asked if the City needed to be proactive in preserving open space. Mr. <br />Schoenbauer replied that was correct and it wa s important these area s be preserved now <br />as the developments were coming forward. He noted it was important staff had the <br />ability to work with the develope rs to obtain the green space. <br /> <br />Mr. Tralle expressed concern that the Rice Creek Watershed Distri ct was working with <br />old maps and data. He asked what were they doing to be looking at current data. Mr. <br />Schoenbauer replied the Rice Creek Watershed District realized this and they had <br />contacted a consultant to work with them on obtaining current information. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala stated it was th e intent of Rice Creek Waters hed District to look at the <br />entire City and have a plan that made sens e for water quality, water flow, and wildlife <br />preservation. He noted it did not make sense to have pockets of wetlands. <br /> <br />Mr. Hyden asked what happened when they fill ed in a wetland. Mr. Schoenbauer replied <br />it depended on the soil condition and the dr ainage, but they inte nded on working with
