• <br />• <br />• <br />MEMORANDUM <br />May 5, 2006 <br />To: Planning & Zoning Board <br />From: Jeff Smyser <br />Subject: Joint Meeting of Boards To Discuss Large Conservation Development <br />Project North of Main Street: "Nature's Preserve" <br />Staff has been working with a developer on a large development in the vicinity of the <br />elementary school on Main St. The project would include lands owned by several <br />developers and which, combined, totals approximately 240 gross acres. The area has <br />been noted as an important site from an ecological standpoint because of some rare <br />species and habitat. There is a wetland complex, part of a large drainage subwatershed, <br />that would benefit greatly from restoration activity. A restoration plan would be prepared <br />as part of the development of the property. <br />It is important that the citizen boards, as representatives of varied community interests, <br />are aware of the importance of the conservation development planning in the community <br />and the value of such planning on this site. <br />Please plan to attend a joint meeting on this project: <br />Wednesday May 31, 2006 6:30 p.m. Community Room <br />This joint meeting will include: <br />City Council <br />Planning & Zoning Board <br />Environmental Board <br />Park Board <br />Economic Development Advisory Committee <br />
