with the City's industrial revenue bond policy.

door storage in excess of generally acceptable limits; 3) the
number and type of empleyee classifications do not fall within
the industrial revenue bond policy guidelines.

in Shiloh Parke lie indicated that, with resident input. it was
agreed that the open air shelter and backstop wmulo be eliminated
and the hard surface court moved to a location farther from west•
dential homes. These changes have resulted in a cost change from
the original estimated $42,179 to $39.953.
Mayor Hunt expressed concern that ballpark plans must allow for
flexibility into the f uturs to respond to changing constituen.s
and park usage.
Councilmember Hoyt questioned the use ov the trail in this park.
Park Director Born responded that the trail will receive heavy use
and that access will be provid*4 via a reinforced portion of tt,^ trail.
lean Fitch, 11420 • 28th Avenue North, indicated that he supports
the concept plan as recommt;•tded by staff and further that the
petition submitted to the City Council demonstrates that support.
Mayor Hunt questioned whether all individuals served by the park
were invited to provide input in its planning. Park Director
Born responded in the affirmative.
Tom Triebes. 11330 - 28th avenue North, indicated he lives on the
north side of the park and indicated three concerns about the
recommended concept plan: 1) that the baseball field, as shown
by the consultant, is placed on a portion of the park which is
not level; 2) the majority of the people at the meetings voiced
concern about having a fully improved parr as the developer who
sold the houses to them indicated the park was reserved for a
nature area; and 3) requested that the bid be secured with a
hard court surface as an option.
PRAC Chairperson Rice indicated that he would vecommend that
the Council consider keeping the hard court surface in the park
so long as visual impact of the surface could be reduced by
landscaping and shrubbery. This proposal would insure that
the park serves the widest variety of resident interests.

inadequate and that residents had not had sufficient tiMe to
actually react to the concept plans proposed by the staff.

kPa further indicated that he and a group of concerned residents met
following the last resident meeting and agreed that they dia not
favor the existing recommendation but desired that the property
remain a wildlife area. Ne asked the City Council to deter this
Iters until all restdents can consider in detail what is proposed.
also asked that the trails in the area be less than eight feet
wide and be woodlike rather than bituminous in nature.
Councilmmber Spaeth stated that the major traits shown on the
City's Trail Plan are required to be eight feet in width and
Are required to ue constructed in accordance with the plane
Mayor Munt stated that the original Trail Plan was agreed upon
only after four public hearings and that since that time the
Council has followed the plan as a guide to insure a comprehensive,
well balanced trail configuration for all City residents' use.
Tom C.ovtitang, 815 Windemere Drive, indicated twat he would like
to see the removal of the basketball court from the park.
Mayor Hunt explained that the Council is concemoed about matin%
tenance of trails in the future,, and therefore, tends to favor
Aglime and asphalt trails.
Councilmember Davenport questicned the process by which citizen,
input Kos gained. Park Director Own indicated that it was
identical to that used for Shilch Park. Cuuncilmember Davenport
suggested that the Council consider giving the neighborhood groups
twee or three more weeks to constder the plan.
Kaycr Mont suggested that !his item could be deferred until such
time as the C.I.P. is adopted. If consensus. Is peached by that
time, the park would be included in construction projections by
1981. If no consensus was reached, then the pant would not be
considered for• construction within the raxt Mop. years.
BRAC Chaivperson Rice indicated that the Gleanloch site is six
acres and that FRAC was careful in its planning to affect only
one acre of the site. He Qurther recommended that if a petition
with sufficient. clarity Is not brought to the Council within the
next thirtl days by neighboring residents. then the Council might
automatically consider constructing the park as presently recomm
mended.
Manager Willis expressed support for the GleanloO Park concept
as proposed since a large portion of the park property is
unbuildable, trail development is required by the guide plan,
and as a neighborhood park. It must provide for recreation
opportunities for All people's use rather thato for specific
interests.
MOTION was made by Counctlmember Spaeth, seconded by Council -
member Hells, to defer approval of the Gleanloch Park concept
plan for Council consideration for two weeks*

Manager WI lis introduced t%he revised Park Dedication Policy.
He commented that the revised policy incorporates revisions
requested by the Council at the last meeting.
Dale Kennedy, Carlson Properties: stated that he was unaware
of any iw:reased conmrercial-tndusteia1 park dedication fees
until notification appeared in the City's legal newspaper.
He reconmended a thirty day deferral to Allow cortmercialw
industrial represenyatives to chpsk on prices prevalent in
other communites in the Metro area* He also asked how Council
intended to determine the unim-aroutad market value of commercial -
Industrial property.
Coun0linember Neils reptiej that one wav this might be de1erm.ined
is by subtracting vt;littes from the sale co3t. In his opinion,
the real issue was whether ten percent of the commercial -industrial
land value for park dedication fees for commercial-industria'i
property was equitable*
