Aimee Fairbrother (1844 Revoir Street) stated that all residents within 350 feet were <br /> included in the survey and that is how the residents were notified - by word of mouth. <br /> Jeff Gibbons (7203 Clear Ridge) felt it was very helpful having the Neighborhood <br /> Network Committee. He cautioned the City though - he felt if the City let local residents <br /> design the park, that the residents should have experienced guidelines, taking into <br /> consideration the ultimate development, future trails and the comprehensive plan. <br /> Michael Navin questioned if the comprehensive plan was taken into consideration. <br /> Aimee Fairbrother replied: "Yes, the comprehensive plan was looked at." <br /> Dale Larson requested that the Neighborhood Network Committee submit a thumb <br /> sketch" of their vision of Acorn Creek. <br /> Terry Sweeney agreed with Mr. Larson, adding that the Neighborhood Network <br /> Committee should submit a concept plan to Ms. Lien who will then forward it on to the <br /> appropriate people of the Park and Recreation Committee and Administrator, Jim March. <br /> Michael Navin motioned to close the Public Hearing noting that the Neighborhood <br /> Network Committee submit a concept plan.

Adding, we still have $25,000.00 in park dedication fees from the Buechler <br /> Development in the Park and Recreation account. <br /> Michael Navin suggested Park and Recreation give the Neighborhood Network <br /> Committee a deadline of two (2) weeks - March 17, 1999, to submit their concept plan for <br /> Acorn Creek Park. Mr. Navin added the City will need to have a professional look at the <br /> 5 <br />
