Planning & Zoning Board August 12, 1998 Page 6 Chair Schaps asked how much land to the south the developer owns. Mr. Quigly indicated the developer owns 80 acres. The park to the north did not pan out because of a zoning change. Mr. Trehus stated there are many street jogs in the plan. The greenway corridor needs to be reviewed. There are a lot of issues that need to be resolved. Mr. Quigly stated 2 of the street jogs will be eliminated. The emphasis of the Park Board was the trail. Chair Schaps expressed his concern regarding the park location and size. He stated the number of children in the area needs to be reviewed. Ball fields are needed in this area. The Park Board needs to address these issues before a decision is made. Mr. Quigly stated that is not what the Park Board is looking for. Mr. Corson asked if there is a plan for paving the trails in phase 1 and 2. Ms. Wyland indicated the trails are due to be paved in the next few weeks. Mr. Schilling asked about the time line for the 3rd addition. He asked if the Board is comfortable with accommodation of the future extensions regarding this development. Mr. Quigly indicated phase 1 will begin this fall. Phase 2 of the 3rd addition will begin next spring. Mr. Powell indicated the future extension will serve the entire concept plan. Mr. George Latondra, an attorney for a property owner, came forward and asked if the Planning Board or the Park Board makes the decisions regarding park placement. He also asked if a park proposal is made without involving ball fields will the plat be denied. Chair Schaps indicated that both the Planning and Zoning Board and Park Board will offer input regarding park placement. The final decision is made by the City Council. Chair Schaps stated now is the time for residents in that community to come forward and inform the Park Board of their needs. Mr. Latondra stated he is concerned about the interplay between the two boards. Chair Schaps stated the Planning and Zoning Board will not say the Park Board is wrong. He stated the Park Board needs time to review the park placement. Mr. Cain came forward and encouraged the Board to approve the rezoning so he can get on with his life. He stated he lives in the middle of the development. He owns 20 acres with horses and cattle. Houses are beginning to line his property line. Without the rezone he cannot sell his property. He stated the City has put him in a bad position. It only seems appropriate to continue the process of Clearwater Creek development. • • •
