Developer Presentation -
Matt Cudney, Pulte Homes, presented a revised plan for the Theidal development, and discussed
revisions to the initial plan. Board discussion focused on the trail and park site in relation to the
topography of the development and the 17.7 acre land-cash requirement. Schoppe added clarification on
several points during discussion. The Board did agree that they want a trail head with a one acre park in
the northern section of the development, and that the trail be kept 25 ' away from the basin, and have an 8
percent grade. A portion of the trail would replace sidewalk, and the developer will install the trail
according to city standards, for 100 percent credit. The Board tabled further discussion until the School
District has identified the number of acres required for the proposed school site.
Andy Fitz, Montalbano Homes, presented a concept plan for the Lee Farm development at the corner of
Ament and Penman Roads. The developer proposes a 10 acre park toward the middle of the development.
Schoppe pointed out adjoining developments and discussed possible trail connections . The Board
concluded that their preference is to have a six acre park on the east side of the development with a trail
crossing to the east and a possible future trail connection to the south.
Greg Ingemunson presented a concept plan for Blackberry Woods, a 60-acre development located on
River Road north of the PNA Camp. The Board discussed this development in relation to adjoining
i
parcels-, and concluded their discussion with a stated preference for a 2-2. 5 acre passive park located in
the southwest corner of the development. The remainder of the land-cash obligation would be in cash.

Old Business -
Brown addressed the WI regional park, and MPI's recommendation to move compensatory storage to
allow the three ball fields to be high and dry. By doing this the mini recreation building and parking area
would be removed from the plan. The cost of all of the work to accomplish the move would be absorbed
by MPI. With Board consensus, Schoppe will redesign the plan to accommodate the change. The Board
agreed to allow the change.

New Business -
Sleezer presented the Parks Dept. report, including a quarterly hourly report that corresponds to the
department's maintenance standards. Rollins noted that it will be helpful in future resources planning.
I
Brown recommended tabling the park naming application discussion until the next meeting. The Board
concurred.
Brown spoke briefly to the Development Priorities Report for fiscal years 2004-2007. She noted that
Country Hills is nearly finished; River's Edge is under construction; Park E in Grande Reserve is also
under construction. She said the report will be helpful in budget planning.
Rollins called attention to the summary of bid results and staff recommendations for RFP for the parks
maintenance facility. Brown reported that six bids had been received, and discussed the ranking that she
and Sleezer recommend. The Board discussed the summaries, and agreed that SRBL is their first choice,
and Williams, their second.
Correspondence -
Rollins noted correspondence regarding two recent break-ins at Beecher. Brown reported that the police
are investigating the break-ins, lock configurations are being changed, and other security measures are
being discussed.
Brown called attention to miscellaneous correspondence. She also showed the Board an example of three
signs installed at River' s Edge on the edge of the public property being questioned by residents.
Rollins encouraged board members to read the 2004 Grants Outlook included in their packets.
The meeting adjourned at 9 :40 p.m., following a motion by Fiala. Koch seconded the motion.
