Case #98-04, Tony Schmidt Park, SUP, 3500 Lake Johanna Boulevard (Concept Approval) Mr. Ringwald explained the applicant is requesting concept approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) for planned upgrades to Tony Schmidt Park. He explained the Planning Commission discussed this application at their meeting earlier this month and recommends the City look at the option of signing Lake Johanna Boulevard as "No Parking" to minimize the potential conflict of overflow boat parking into the residential area. He explained another area of concern had to do with the trail along the north side of Lake Johanna Boulevard and conflicting relationship between cars, joggers, and bikers. The Planning Commission believes this should be a paved trail down to the point of the NSP connection. The Planning Commission feels this will remove the conflict of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Mr. Ringwald stated the Planning Commission recommends approval subject to the following conditions: I. Submittal for site plan approval prior to the commencement of construction of any part of phase of this project.
