Dan Schultz relayed Mayor Busho’s definition of the “Discussion” portion of the monthly Commission meeting agenda. Discussion should be responding to audience input only. The Committee
can either respond at the time of audience input or at a later meeting. New issues should be discussed with the Director prior to the evening of the meetings and possibly added to
the agenda as a topic. Maintenance issues should be reported to Dan Schultz before or after meetings, and he will relay to Public Works Department.
6. OLD BUSINESS
EVERMOOR -KELLEY TRUST UPDATE
Dan Schultz informed the Committee that the City Council approved the following items with regard to the Evermoor development: The Evermoor preliminary plat/PUD development plan, subject
to approval of the wetland mitigation and replacement plan and execution of a PUD agreement that will secure the recommendations of the Engineering/Public Works, Parks and Recreation,
Planning, Police, Fire Departments and Planning Commission; rezone land consistent with applicable districts; adopt a resolution to approve a subdivision of the Evermoor property commensurate
with the phasing plan subject to the execution of the PUD agreement.
The Committee reviewed and discussed the changes to the wetland mitigation and replacement plan with five recommendations that Dan Schultz will bring to the Council: 1) Parking spaces
need to be doubled to 20 with one access. Some stalls should be designed for canoe trailers. 2) No more water to be added to this park. 3) Make smaller shelters and picnic tables for
different spots, single or double with roofs, instead of one large pavilion. 4) More money dedicated to playground ($45,000. 5) Check into boardwalks in exchange for losing land.
They would like the trail to go all around Birger Pond.
Schultz reminded the Committee that when we reach the point of discussing trails, the transitions from bituminous to wood chips will need to be addressed for biking purposes.
