MEMORANDUM
TO:
Park and Recreation Director
FROM:
Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director
DATE: March 17, 1999
SUB J:
Lynmore Subdivision
Shortly after the commission reviewed this subdivision in February, the applicant
submitted revised plans. These new plans acknowledge the Bluff Creek
Preservation Ordinance by setting aside the primary zone as open space (Outlot
A). However, the applicant does feel "stuck in the middle" as the Bluff Creek
ordinace was adopted mid way through their attempting to develop the property.
Mr. Moore is now looking to recoup a portion of his investment in Outlot A. He
has discussed selling "lot extensions" to the land owners residing adjacent to
Outlot A in the Stone Creek Addition.
In that the outlot also lies adjacent to Stone Creek Park and it would be
advantageous to add its 2 acres to the park. In return for this transfer of
ownership, the city would grant the applicant full park fee credit ($8,400).
RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's recommendation that the city offer the applicant full park fee credit,
$8,400, in exchange for fee title ownership ofOutlot A.
*Please note that this item is being discussed by the Planning Commission on
March 17, 1999.
ATTACHMENTS
1. Revised plan set.
2. Memorandum to Bob Generous, Senior Planner.

Todd Hoffman, Park and Recreation Director
DATE: March 9, 1999
SUB J:
Lynmore Subdivision
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the Lynmore Subdivision on
February 23, 1999. Their review was prior to the plan being revised to identify
Outlot A as open space. As such, the commission recommended denial of the
application for failing to meet the open space preservation requirements of the
Bluff Creek ordinance. The Park and Recreation Commission was very clear that
without the preservation of the primary zone, they would not support this
application.
The Park and Recreation Commission will be pleased to see the revised plans. On
March 23, I will present the new set of plans to the commission. It will be my
recommendation that the commission offer the applicant full park fee credit,
$8,400, in exchange for fee title ownership of Outlot A. This trade off is not
required to ensure the outlot remain open space. The land is already protected by
the Bluff Creek ordinance. The credit is offered as an inducement to the applicant
to transfer fee title to the city. In this particular situation, fee title is desirable as
the outlot abuts Stone Creek Park.
