that is currently allowed. This could be accomplished and would be allowed through the PUD process. Enclosed is a site plan that staff will be prepared to review with you at the meeting. Requested Commission Action: Comments, questions, suggestions, advice 5. United Properties Assisted Living Proposal United Properties has an option to purchase additional property near the approved senior housing project at 2990, and 2996 Cleveland Avenue North and plan to redevelop it into a 93 - unit, assisted -living facility. The park dedication requirement was discussed at your October meeting and tabled in order to provide further information on a potential trail around the wetland, connecting to the senior coop, the assisted living and the park. Since the meeting, staff has met with United Properties and they are open to furthering the trail concept and believe that this would be a benefit to the development as well as the park and community. Enclosed is a concept site plan that staff will be prepared to review with you at your meeting. In the development it is anticipated that there will be requirements for easements and trails that may fit into the intended thoughts of the commission, i.e. trail connections and experiences. At this time, staff suggests that it may be appropriate to recommend cash to serve as the park dedication requirement and that the trail configuration and experience be worked out as the development proceeds. If an easement or additional land is needed and there is a cost involved, the park dedication fee may be considered prior to collection at that time. Finally, similar to the request from United Properties on the senior housing proposal, they requested consideration to reduce the park dedication fee on the assisted living project, citing that they are smaller units and will be limited in the use of the Park and Recreation System due to immobility? You did discuss this at your October meeting and the consensus was not to recommend a reduction or waiver. Requested Commission Action: Discuss and make a formal recommendation as to cash, land or a combination of park dedication. 6. Frank Rog Amphitheatre Improvements Update You may recall, the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council has provided a grant for an art project as a part of the Frank Rog Amphitheatre improvements. As a part of that process, staff is forming a committee to advise and help. This committee will also help to plan a recognition event in 2009. We would appreciate if two commissioners would serve on that committee. Please be thinking about whether you would be willing to serve in that capacity. Staff will be prepared to review more of the purpose with you at the meeting. Requested Commission Action: Comments, questions and suggestions and appoint two Commissioners to serve on the Frank Rog Amphitheatre art and planning committee. 7. Directors Report 8. Other 9.
