3. Parks and Recreation Master Plan
Shawn Nelson presented the staff report. He advised that through the process of
approval of the Open Space Element of the Draft General Plan, staff received some
negative feedback from the residents of the Meadowview Homeowners Association
and as a result of those comments, the trail map was modified to comply with the
objective of developing a North-South connector trail as well as mitigate the concerns
expressed by the Meadowview residents. Mr. Nelson read from a letter received by
the Meadowview Board of Directors dated November 9, 1992 as follows:
"Parks and Recreation Commission:
The equestrian committee of Meadowview Community Association has received the
revised proposed master plan of horse trails and has forwarded a favorable
recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board concurs with the favorable
recommendation and believes that this revised trails plan is more logical than the
proposed trails originally in the general plan. The original proposal has routes which
would have resulted in a great deal of public unrest and would have been very difficult
to acquire. Our commendation to Shawn Nelson, his staff and the trails committee for
their hard work and responsiveness to public input."
Steve Rose. consultant on the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. outlined the first draft
of the master plan.
Commissioner Walker asked for staff to get clarification on the total miles of trail
system proposed in the plan.
Commissioner Nimeshein questioned the frequency of the review and updates to the
Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Steve Rose advised that the plan has been scheduled for review every three (3) years.
Shawn Nelson stated that staff would agree to a three (3) year review of the master
plan.
It was moved by Commissioner Nimeshein, seconded by Commissioner Walker to
recommend approval of the draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan and forward it to
the City Council for adoption.
