,,!tJ -">.:1 , _w'_~:;':,L. P'\,," 'Y'~ ,i)'iiI" TO: Parks & Recreation Committee Members FROM: Kim Stephan SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Committee Recommendations DA TE: October 30, 2003 The following memo and maps were included in the October 8, 2003 City Council packet: Pheasant Marsh. Phase Three - Trail Chairperson Peterson requested a discussion of the trail through Pheasant Marsh, Phase Three be added under Committee Business. Chairperson Peterson started the discussion by saying the original trail proposal winds through the east side of the development in a low area. There is quite a bit of green space, probably because it is low. What Chairperson Peterson would like the committee to consider is readjusting the placement of the trail along the far east edge where there - is higher ground and the trail would overlook the edge of the pond on the adjacent property. The original proposal shows the trail ending at Outlot A, Center Oaks II, with the idea of the trail eventually being continued east to 20th Avenue. Chairperson Peterson proposes a trail stub be added heading north across Outlot A to Center Street. If the trail cannot be connected to 20th Avenue in the near future, at least this trail would continue to Center Street instead of dead-ending. The trail stub would be paid for from Parks & Recreation trail funds. Chairperson Peterson estimates the stub to be 270' - 300' in length. The committee felt this was a' better alternative to the trail dead-ending and not being used by residents. Chairperson Peterson also reported there is a 6 foot county ditch which runs through this property to the south. It will be necessary for a culvert to be installed in the south-east corner. Council Member Lee suggested attaching a map with the suggested changes to the motion for the next council meeting. Ground Development is currently looking for approval on the Developer's Agreement and Final Plat for Pheasant Marsh, Phase Three. Chairperson Peterson will supply Ms. Stephan with a map of the proposed changes/additions. Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to recommend to council adjusting the trail location for Pheasant Marsh, Phase Three and adding a trail stub through Outlot A, Center Oaks II with the funds for the trail stub to come from Parks & Recreation trail funds. Please see the attached map for trail placement. All in favor: Motion carried unanimously.
