CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES - January 5 , 1987 MOTION: Ken Johnson moved to approve the 1/5/87 meeting minutes as presented. Mr. Baumann seconded the motion which carried unani- mously. GARY UHDE/REGENCY HOMES PARK DEDICATION Mr. Neumeister represented Regency Homes and explained the plans which have been put together by Regency Homes as satisfaction of park dedication for the South Reshanau Lake Estates plat which is being proposed. (The preliminary plat has been approved by City Council contingent upon passage of the proposed comprehensive plan amendment allowing utilities in this area. ) Mr. Neumeister, with the use of a colored map dated 11/7/86 , showed the approximate ten acres which is proposed as a neighborhood park within this plat . The proposal included the requests made by the Park Board during their initial review of this proposed plat during 12/86 . The consensus of the Board was that the area proposed and the uses proposed were acceptable . Mr . Neumeister particularly wanted the Board to understand that the approximate 10-acre piece was satisfaction of the entire 80 acres which Regency Homes plans to develop and that the preliminary plat which has been approved by Council shows only the "first phase" of that development (about 2/3 of the total 80-acre parcel) . Residents from the Colonial Woods plat (which will be adjacent to this 80 acres) were in attendance and voiced concern that the Regency Homes plat calls for nearly 100 lots of approximately 1/4 acre each. The Colonial Woods plat (with no utilities ) has one-acre lots . These residents suggested that the park land be situated along their boundary for two reasons : 1 ) To serve as a "buffer" between the lesser and greater densities , and 2) To serve as a park for Colonial Woods residents since they have no park within their plat . Currently , there is a road easement in the Colonial Woods plat which would connect the two plats . The Colonial Woods residents asked that the Park Board consider making that road easement a park area . (This issue was discussed at length later during this evening 's meeting . ) PARK BOARD February 2 , 1987 APage Two MOTION: Mr. Lindy moved to recommend to Council acceptance of the park as designed on the drawing for South Reshanau Lake Estates (dated 11/7/86 ) with the understanding that the developer pave the entire trail system and access drives and do corrective work and excavation � , to bring to an appropriate , useable grade the areas designated as play equipment , tennis courts and free play on the drawing . Mr. U Baumann seconded the motion which carried unanimously. COLONIAL WOODS - FOX ROAD EASEMENT Among the several residents appearing before the Park Board were John Benson , Monica Slatten and Mary Leander. They were requesting that the City take the necessary action to change the Fox Road ease- ment within the Colonial Woods plat to park land for use by the Colonial Woods residents . Their reasons : 1 ) To provide a park which is not provided in their plat , 2) The residents have used this ease- ment as a park area for eight years , and 3) The residents do not want a road access between their plat and the proposed South Reshanau Lake Estates plat . Ray Johnson explained that each developer is required to provide either land or money as satisfaction for park needs , and the City needs to locate parks to best suit the future growth and density within an area. He also reminded the Colonial Woods representatives that an overall road pattern to connect adjoining plats is done not only for convenience , but also to provide multiple routes for emergency vehicles . Mr.John Benson stated that in speaking with Mr . Uhde, (developer of South Reshanau Lake Estates) , Mr. Uhde felt that it was the decision of the City whether or not the two plats have a connecting road. Mr. Benson also stated that the average age of the children within Colonial Woods is five years old and that the park proposed by Mr. Uhde 's development is too far away for 5-year olds to go. Mr. Benson also said the residents of Colonial Woods are willing to form an association which would provide insurance and maintenance of the park they are requesting. Chairman Johnson said that further investigation of the minutes of the Council meeting which approved the Colonial Woods plat would need to be done . This item will appear on the March, 1987 Park Board agenda . CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN A draft , including the changes recommended by the 1/87 Park Board meeting , < was reviewed. Members were also asked to prepare for the March meeting any suggestions for additions or changes to the C . I .P. Mr. Volk was asked to prioritize the 1987 items . This item will be on the March Park Board agenda . PARK BOARD February 2 , 1987 Page Three BMX TRACK Ray Johnson asked whether the City has received a certificate of insurance from the new BMX track association . Mr. Volk said that the association has been notified that this certificate is needed and has not yet been received . Mr. Johnson made note that the insurance policy which the association has obtained is through Lions International . OLD BUSINESS None . NEW BUSINESS Mayor Benson - Communication Between Council and Park Board Mayor Benson commended the Park Board on the work done during the last year and notified them that a joint meeting of the Park Board , Council and Planning Board is being scheduled for the near future. Minor Subdivision for Donald McShannock and Minor Subdivision for Vernon Wahlberg The Board reviewed the two requests for minor subdivisions - one from Donald McShannock and one from Vernon Wahlberg . These two minor subdivisions will go before the Planning and Zoning Board at their February , 1987 meeting . In each case the park dedication requirement which the Park Board felt was appropriate per the ordinance was $160 per dwelling unit . MOTION : Ken Johnson moved to recommend to Council that $160 be collected from Donald McShannock and $160 be collected from Vernon Wahlberg as satisfaction of park dedication for their respective minor subdivisions . Motion seconded by Ray Johnson and carried unanimously.
