Park Board Meeting -January 5, 1994 The Pazk Board held an extensive dialogue regazding the proposed municipal pazk to be located with the Innsbruck Fifth Addition subdivision. City Manager Fulton summarized, for the Pazk Boazd's benefit, the issues and discussion that took place at the City Council meeting held on December 14th. Furthermore, he discussed some recent engineering work which reviewed existing elevations in the pazk area relative to those approved as part of the overall grading plan. He noted that while overall elevations corresponded pretty well to the approved grading plan, the pond area, due to grading and some erosion, had shifted several feet to the south and came close to encroaching on private property boundaries. He further indicated that the other issues focused on at the council meeting included a discussion of the specifics regazding the trail width and material to be constructed within the park, the timing and need for the installation of tennis courts, the screening of the trail off Black Oak Drive, and overall forestation intent for the park. The Pazk Board opened the discussion up to the 13 residents that were in attendance and proceeded to have a lengthy discussion regarding various pazk amenity concerns. (Note: Bev, please insert names of individuals discussing specific issues) Following the discussion, the Park Boazd indicated an interest in keeping the residents informed as to the progress and actions taken by the Pazk Boazd, municipal staff, and ultimately, city council. City Manager Fulton indicated that the Park Board recommendations would be incorporated into material to be submitted to the City Council for their consideration on January 25th and that all residents aze invited to attend that meeting. He further indicated that he would send a staff memorandum to the azea residents prior to the meeting, and arrange for an informational meeting, if necessary, to further discuss issues in more detail on a more informal basis. At that point, all residents left and the Pazk Board proceeded to discuss the matter in further detail. Following such discussion, and having thoroughly discussed the issues of concern that were raised, the Park itemized each feature and put forth a recommendation which was encapsulated in the following motion: MOTION by Knuth, seconded by Trevereau, to recommend to the City Council that the Innsbruck Park Fifth Addition pazk azea be approved as eazlier recommended by the Pazk Boazd at its October 6th, 1993 meeting, with the following changes, clarifications, and points of emphasis: 1. The reforestation of Innsbruck Pazk should be an emphasis throughout the duration of the municipal pazk development. The reforestation effort should include the continual contact between City Forester Wriskey and azea residents to develop a reforestation plan compatible with the area and satisfactory to the property owners. 2. Northern access point onto Black Oak Drive -- Forester Wriskey needs to place strong emphasis on reforestation of this area to ensure the development of an adequate barrier between the proposed trail and the immediately adjacent property to the north. This trail should be constructed at a width of six feet, extending from Black Oak Drive to where the trail intersects with the east/west trail, subject to the City Manager reviewing any liability exposure for such narrower pathway.
