Surface Water Amenity <br />The City Council also discussed goals for the surface water amenity on April 21. Council <br />comments included: <br /> <br />Pond areas should be well-maintained and should have water present at all times; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Trails and benches should be included so that the surface water management can also be <br />a site amenity. <br /> <br />Residential Development and Densities <br />The City Council discussed residential densities and the flex space land use on May 19, 2014. <br />The City Council chose not to set a maximum number of dwelling units at this time. <br /> <br />Flex Space Land Use <br />The City Council did not make changes to the amount of land designated for the flex space land <br />use. The City Council discussed their preference for office development and that this type of <br />development should be allowed and encouraged in the flex space area. The City Council <br />discussed establishing regulations that limit the amount of warehouse/distribution uses at <br />TCAAP. <br /> <br />Revisions the Draft Master Plan Land Use Map <br /> <br />Based on City Council direction on May 19, 2014, revisions have been made to the draft master <br />plan land use map which can be summarized as follows: <br /> <br /> <br />Parks in the Creek, Hill, and Town neighborhoods have been adjusted slightly to <br />accommodate recommended amenities. It is important to note that the exact size, <br />dimensions, and layouts of parks will be determined at a later date. The PTRC <br />recommendations focused on the amenities required in each park; how those amenities <br />are accommodated at each site will be determined during park design. <br /> <br /> <br />The Town neighborhood park adjacent to the existing water treatment facility has been <br />more clearly identified as a park. The civic area adjacent to the park contains the water <br />treatment facility and space for another civic use such as a small amphitheater or a <br />historical marker/display. <br /> <br /> <br />In the Creek neighborhood, the park location has been shifted to be closer to the entrance <br />to the neighborhood. This has been done to limit the amount of program-related traffic <br />driving through the neighborhood. In the case of the Hill park, this was not possible due <br />to the terrain. The ball fields need relatively flat surface areas, and there are limited <br />locations in the Hill neighborhood where this is possible. <br /> <br /> <br />Pocket parks were removed as they are too small to be maintained and programmed by <br />the City. Developers will be encouraged to include pocket parks that will be privately <br />owned and maintained. <br /> <br />24 <br />Page of <br /> <br />
