• Planning & Zoning Board May 9, 2001 Page 16 Mr. Goertz stated it was left an outlot so the zoning can be at the Council and staff's discretion. He stated he will come back with the outlot after the Comprehensive Plan is finalized. Mr. Pruitt stated his understanding that it could be commercial and he does not believe it makes sense to delay that decision for several years. He suggested it be fenced and used as a recreational area. Mr. Goertz stated it is about four acres and he intends to wait until the Comprehensive Plan is finalized. Chair Schaps encouraged Mr. Pruitt to keep track of this property so he is aware when something comes forward. Environmental Boardmember O'Connell stated the northeast corner contains Oak Savanna which they recommend be protected. Chair Schaps asked if a Park Board representative is in the audience. No response was received. • Mr. Corson made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 7:55 p.m., and was supported by Mr. Rafferty. Motion carried 6 -0. Chair Schaps asked if conditions for trail or park land are desired. In response to Mr. Lyden, Ms. Sherman estimated that Lot 19 on the old drawing is about one - quarter acre. Mr. Lyden stated he would support a park of that size with any difference being paid in cash. He stated he would also like some open green space. Mr. Goertz asked if they have to revise their preliminary plat prior to the Council consideration and if they will have to revise it again should the Council not support the dedication of park land. Chair Schaps stated that condition could be placed on the approval. Mr. Powell stated that is correct and the plan can be revised following Council action, if appropriate. Mr. Goertz stated his park dedication is $50,000 and asked which lot the Board would like for park land dedication. He suggested Lot 30 since it is adjacent to the other neighborhood. In response to the request of Mr. Goertz, Mr. Powell recommended Condition #2 be revised to remove the size and add approval by the City Engineer. Mr. Corson asked if an easement can be provided along Birch Street if it is outside of this property. Mr. Goertz stated he cannot dedicate land outside his project.
