requested a part of the land dedicated with Oneka Place to be separated to allow them to provide right-of- way and access to a future development to the east. Now called Outlot L,the parcel surrounding the watertower was separated to provide flexibility in extending Farnham Avenue to access the future park and the parcel to the east. The Commission discussed that they have not planned the park on the city-owned- property but options for Outlot L include a parking lot, residential lots, park features and more. Strub commented that the future park will be a great amenity to The Meadows at Hugo and more trail connections to it are needed. Matt Pavek of Civil Site Group,the Engineer of the development stated that they intend to make trail connections. Schmid asked Pavek about irrigation and wetlands. Rauschendorfer discussed the greenways in the area and wanted to ensure trails north and west through the development. He also asked about using the ditch on the east side of the development for a trail corridor. Since there is not plan for the future park,the Park Commission recommended making land available for construction of the street at the developer's expense, but not allow the development of the lots as shown on the Meadows at Hugo sketch plan. They were generally supportive of the proposed trail connections. They discussed wanting to keep their options open until the future park is planned knowing it could include a parking lot,active park features,or more if desired. 3.
