Dacy said that a the plan called for a minimum amount of grading,
and that the houses would built in to the existing topography.
She also noted that the the flattest portion of the site was
within the commercial area, thus the most expensive. She said
that the Planning Commission has approved that portion to be
used for commercial use.
Lynch stated that it was highly unlikely that the City would
acquire a new site for ballfields, thus the problems would have
to be solved by renovating the existing ballfield.

posed development. Because parkland will be in existance within
the development, Sietsema recommended that the City accept park
dedication fees in lieu of parkland.
Schoenecker moved, seconded by Foltz, to recommend that the City
accept park dedication fees in lieu of parkland. The motion
carried unanimoUSly.
Sietsema presented the final South Lotus Lake Park plan
explaining the changes since the Commission last saw the plan.
The Metro Waters Task Force required the City put in handicapped
parking on the lower portion of the site near the boat access.
To date the Park and Recreation Commission had not recommended
approval of the plan, and was required to do so before it went to
the City Council.
Sietsema also suggested that the Park and Recreation Commission
direct staff to prepare a landscape plan to accompany the site
plan when it goes to the City Council.
Schoenecker moved, seconded by Foltz to recommend approval of the
South Lotus Lake Park boat access plan, and to request that
staff prepare a landscape plan that addresses the resident's con-
cerns. Motion unanimously approved.
Foltz moved, seconded by Lynch to adjourn the meeting. Motion
unanimously approved.
Respectfully submitted,
Lori Sietsema
Park and Recreation Coordinator
