r►. DESIGN REVIEW BOARD AND PARK BOARD MEETING F- . uary 20, 1991 A special meeting was held to discuss the proposed preliminary plat of Wenzel Farms. The DRB reviewed this plat on February 13th and tabled it due to the fact that they felt they did not have enough detail and there were too many unresolved issues. The board did not feel comfortable issuing the rezone. In the month of January the preliminary plat was approved by the DRB for the single - family portion of the plat. Present at the meeting was: Council Members Sally Kuether, Andy Neal and Vern Reinert; DRB Members Bob King, John Bergeson, and Monika Slatten; Park Board Members Ray Johnson, John Bauman, Candy Toffoli, and Ken Johnson. Staff members present were John Miller, City Planner; Marty Asleson, Parks Superintendent; and Laura Elken, Planning Secretary. Kirk Corson, Developer of the plat and Roger Hokanson, owner of Hokanson Plumbing were also present. A public hearing is scheduled for Monday, February 11th, and staff felt that a special meeting should be held to resolve these issues before it went to council. Kirk Corson displayed a new site plan and landscaping plan. A memorandum outlining previously discussed issues was also handed out. First of all the park issue was discussed. Originally the developer proposed a park in the southern section. The park board denied this option because the majority of the land was low. Then the developer moved the park to the north east section of the plat. During the meeting with staff and the developer on the 15th of February it was decided that the park would not be adequate in that part of the development either. The plan now stands with a park located in the center of the plat on the east side. It is 7 /10ths of an acre and will be a tot lot. Trails loop around the entire area and connect to Sunrise Park in the south western section. The remaining park dedication will be cash and be given at different times as each phase is started. This way if the cash dedication amount increases the parks department will receive the current rate. Marty Asleson stated that he feels this is an adequate amount of space considering that Sunrise Park is nearby, but added that smaller "tot lots" are difficult to maintain. He said that he felt it was a good central location for the townhomes and single - family homes. 1
