Members <br />absent were Paul Montain and Bill Kusterman. <br />Also present was Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director. <br />REVIEW FOX DEN ACRES CONSERVATION DEVELOPMENT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL <br />BOARD <br />Staff advised the Park Board reviewed the Preliminary Plat of Fox <br />Den Acres at the May Park Board Meeting. He referred to a copy <br />of the minutes from that meeting that was included in the <br />packets. Since that time City Staff and the developer have been <br />working with Jeff Schoenbauer to consider a conservation <br />development approach. Mr. Schoenbauer is present this evening to <br />discuss the Fox Den Development with the Park Board and <br />Environmental Board. <br />Mr. Jeff Schoenbauer thanked Mr. Mike Black, Developer of Fox Den <br />Acres, for working with the City on the project. He noted the <br />City would have to change its way of thinking in order to pursue <br />conservation development. He stressed that staff is trying to <br />present a development that aligns with the community's vision and <br />goals. The City Boards have to understand the project is a <br />package and every aspect is linked together. <br />Mr. Schoenbauer reviewed a working example of greenways, trails <br />and stewardship within the plan as well as the Fox Den <br />conventional proposal. The conservation plan includes <br />approximately 28 acres of open space that would be controlled and <br />maintained. He reviewed the goals achieved within the plan along <br />with the proposed commitments to the developer. He noted the <br />most important commitment to the developer is approval to deviate <br />from the City's current Growth Management Plan. <br />The Environmental Board approved the Fox Den Acres development <br />with the addition of the previously noted recommendations. <br />Mr. Shoenbauer advised the plan is linked to the growth control <br />issue. He recommended the City keep its Growth Management Plan <br />in tact for conventional development. He also recommended the <br />City allow for flexibility within the Growth Management Plan in <br />terms of conservation development. <br />The Park Board excused itself from the presentation at 7:38 p.m. <br />• Rick advised the only park credit that would be given to the <br />developer is for the trail construction. <br />1 <br />
