Mr. Tim House addressed the Parks and Recreation Board with his proposal to
provide a thirty foot hike and bike trail tease~ment along the northern portions
of tl~e MacArthur Park subdivision along the channelizafion of Denton Creek
both east and west of MacArthur Boulevard. Mr. House indicated that he was
not proposing to provide a trail ea~emenl, along the southeril portions of his
subdivision that. followed the original Denton Creek channel. Mr. House felt
that the northern paralneters of the subdivision provided the needed
components for the linkage park trail that the Board would require.
Staff informed the Parks and Recreation Board that it would be staff's
recommendation that the MacArthur Park Subdivision provide a ten foot (10')
hike and bike trail easement on the east side of MacA~;thur Boulevard, both on
the northern and southern portions of his property. These easements would be
required at. the top of the creek bank and into the platted property. This
