The association is proposing to <br />fence in the area and provide maintenance. A volunteer group will be established to oversee <br />the maintenance. All of the changes to the property will be upon approval of the Public Works <br />Director. The dog park will be open to the public. Parking is not available onsite, but there is <br />nearby on street parking. The dog park will also be accessible by the existing trails. <br />The property includes approximately 2 acres of upland, surrounded by stormwater ponds. The <br />majority of the site is delineated as a wetland. To avoid wetland impacts and additional <br />permitting, wood -chips and other materials are not allowed to be imported from off-site. Grading <br />or other means of filling the wetland are also not allowed. Posts for fencing and general <br />vegetation mowing are not regulated in the wetland and are therefore allowed. <br />A memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been drafted which outlines maintenance <br />expectations and other agreements between the City and the Waters Edge Master Association. <br />The site plan, MOU, and other plans will be presented at the meeting for approval. <br />7:40 pm Update on Recreation Programs <br />Parks Planner Shayla Syverson will provide an update on upcoming recreation programs: <br />Tour de Hugo: Saturday, September 13 <br />Outdoor Movie Night: TBD <br />Storybook Walk: Saturday, September 27 <br />8:00 pm Adjournment <br />
