81The Development Team joined the call with the Commission. Eric Luth spoke for the developer 82stating that they did not envision the location having any park use as it is a tight area for the houses 83 and they would prefer to pay cash in lieu of land. Duane noted that a bituminous trail will be added 84 outside of the requirements for the development. As the Development Team has been working with 85 Community Development it was relayed to them that the sidewalk would be added in the future so 86 they have opted to locate the segment during the build. 87 88 Commissioner Stoner asked what the current public lake access is for Lake Owasso. Staff responded 89 that there is access via Central Park North via Heinel Drive as well as the County entrances. 90 91 Commissioner Baggenstoss asked if the dock area will be a private park for the homeowners. The 92 Developer confirmed and responded that it is a pad with a picnic table. The developer addedthat the 93 majority of the area seen on the map by the dock is for storm water management and the remaining 94 area is for trees that they are trying to save. 95 96 Commissioner Stoner remarked that the Developer is adding the bituminous trail and working to 97 save trees which are both above what is required. He noted that the only land that may be beneficial 98 would be an option for lake access. However, as there is one via Central Park North, Commissioner 99 Stoner stated he would opt for cash in lieu of land. 100 101 Commissioner Lenhart motioned to recommend the acceptance of cash ($21,250) to the City 102 Council to satisfy the Park Dedication for Victoria St. N. and Orchard Ln./Co. Rd. C2. Seconded 103 by Commissioner Arneson. 104 105 Roll Call 106 Ayes: Arneson, Baggenstoss, Brown, Dahlstrom, Hoag, Lenhart, O’Brien and Stoner. 107 Nays: None. 108 Abstain: Heikkila. 109 110 5) POCAHONTAS PARK NAME CONVERSATION 111 Chair Hoag relayed to the group that he feels it may be time to move to the next step of “what and 112 how” to change the name of the park. 113 114 Commissioner Arneson posed the question of if the name should be changed to honor the Indigenous 115 People as others appear to move to more generic names for product and places. 116 117 Commissioner Baggenstoss stated that this is an opportunity to change the narrative for a forgotten 118 voice. He continued that this is an opportunity for the Commission to be allies by utilizing the 119 guidance that is laid out in the Narrative Framework document that was provided by staff and that he 120 does not think the Commission should adopt a generic name. 3
