Attachment D the three (3) dashed circles indicated where public connections were needed into Langton Lake Park. Councilmember Punt questioned the greenway onto Prior. Mr. Lamb advised that during the public vetting process and subsequent meetings with land owners,, it had morphed into the area requiring a connection (Letter C on V. 3 map)i corresponding with the greenway frontage defining that connection to Langton Lake Park. Councilmember Punt, in her review of the proposed minimum connections addressed in page 7 of the RCA, didn't reflect her understanding of the original proposal to provide ways to allow the public and community to have access to that asset. Councilmember Punt opined that this provides apparent connections from private development to the park, but doesn't add to the public asset. While not attempting to be negative, Councilmember Punt opined that it appears that the City has compromised away the intent of the project; and questioned what value added this now has to the City, when parking was allowed up to the build-to line for flexible frontage properties and even buildings up to that edge and surrounded with parking. Councilmember Punt opined that this was not in the first plan; and her understanding of what was trying to be accomplished and why this concept was being considered, to keep a sea of asphalt from the park. Councilmember Punt opined that it was also her understanding that the public liked that original plan; and questioned how much of this change has been weighted to the public versus private business. Mr. Lamb advised that he felt strongly that this Regulating Plan as presented tonight provided very specific public connectivity and public access from private parcels from all directions; and it was the attempt to define more flexibility with delivery than drawing a hard line. Mr. Lamb noted minimum 25' setback requirements and rights-of- way issues; while allowing that all access points be maintained as public access, and those connections clearly identified and defined. Mayor Roe sought clarification in reviewing the Map and definitions, of connections from public rights-of-way or street through private properties; not just as described from a particular private property,, but through a public point to the park. Mr. Lamb referenced page 7 as the attempt to indicate those required connections. Councilmember Punt questioned where it was defined that a greenway was required, or simply a visible connection point drawing the public in and while recognizing that descriptions were limited- she couldn't see how the City could regulate a developer from an intent different from that of the City in retaining that green space and public connection. Councilmember Punt used the outdoor market area at the recently- renovated Rainbow Foods at the comer of Larpenteur and Fernwood Avenues as an example of a potential development and use of a structure and public connection on an asphalt parking lot, yet accessible for the public. Councilmember Punt opined that her overall concern is that it feels like the City has compromised so much and why bother if everything is going to be flexible, as long as a fence screened the property; and questioned why a plan was needed and what was actually changed. Mr. Lamb noted page 7 of the RCA defined public connections and the relationship of build-to areas and public connections being addressed by the Regulating Plan;
