COMMENT STATUS: _.~PRELIMINARY FINAL REVISED
AFTER Iz&Z
The developer should be aware that this development is ~tipacted by the Park
Development ordinance stipulating $1,285.00 per dwelling unit is required.
The City has worked with Vista Properties in the past to have the developer build the
trail along the top of the Denton Creek levee, with levee district approval It is
requested the existing trail be continued to the west in lieu of the corresponding park
development fees.
It is reco~i~ended that the property noted as "open space to offset park fees" not be
accepted in lieu of park fees. The Leisure Services Department hesitates to recommend
acquisition of property which has little desirable recreational value.
Should there be any questions by coii~iittee members or representatives of the
proposed develop~i~nt regarding these comments, please feel free to contact Brad Reid
at 304 -3561.
