Grimms read the staff recommendation included in the memo to the City Manager dated
May 7, 1997. Recommendation: The Parks and Recreation Director, Community
Development Coordinator, and the Land Development Coordinator recommend that the
City retain the option of requiring setting aside park area in proposed residential
subdivisions; or requiring fees in-lieu-of to maintain the adopted Level of Service
standards.
Helgeson asked why it's an option? Grimms stated that the city's parks and recreation
facilities more than meets the level of service standard. Another reason is the need for
flexibility when dealing with developers.
Cook asked if the original idea was to keep kids off the streets. Grimms said that the
original idea generated from an earlier development period where there was a lot of high
density residential developments (not here, but in older, urban areas)
Members viewed maps with Grimms, and discussed Winn-Dixie proposals. He also
updated them on the S. R. 434 Visioning Plan, and the telecommunication towers issue.
Beecher asked Grimms to notify the B.O.W.S. Board members of meetings for the S. R.
434 Visioning. She also mentioned that the Commission suggested that the B.O.W.S.
Board select the streetscape lighting, benches, and bicycle racks for the S.R. 434
Corridor. Grimms said he would check into it.
