Mr. Furfori presented the Hattner Property and stated that the property has been before the City Staff and Plan Commission . The 80 acres of this plan , he stated, they were proposing three different land uses. He pointed out a small part of the commercial would be along Rt. 47 and the rest being residential . He said they were looking at 10 acres that would actually be buildable commercial . There would be about 14 acres of townhomes and the balance would be the storm water and twelve thousand square foot lots of single family homes . He said they were asked to provide a regional bike trail that would run along Rt. 47 along the north side of the creek. Attorney Dan Kramer presented Jake Property. He stated that it is out at the intersection of 126 and 71 reconfigured . Mr. Kramer noted the part they are looking to develop first is the section just below 126 with retail users and in the back he stated they've gone to the flex zoning method . He said that they had an assistant living user that could build one of those facilities and still not have enough senior housing in the area . Mr. Kramer said that the trail system will be on the north side of 126 and the balance will be sidewalk. Mogle noted, that the new section of the inside road of 126, the trail will continue down west on 71 . Mr. Kramer expects them to break ground this year.

Mogle noted that the material he gave the board was taken by Jason and he submitted his own acquisition chronology and presented at the meeting which included much of what Mogle put together. He felt that everyone contributed to the meeting . Chris Rollins was concerned about the number of meetings. He felt we've invested our time and we need to explain to them that we need to make headway if are taking time, for example, to lay out conceptual park plans . We need to make headway and go ahead with a lease agreement. He felt that their board has to come to some kind of a consensus with what the lease terms are going to be and they have to have someone empowered to negotiate that with us . Rollins felt that we need to make some of these things start working or else we loose our ability to budget and ability to martial our limited resources and we're not going to make progress on our side either. We need to make agreements and set a timeline of goals . Mogle felt that they got the message across of how they jumped ahead and got an architect and they didn 't involve the City. It was explained to them that they had to be included on any decisions especially with the common areas because it is in the agreement. Mogle said he felt they understood why we had to be at the table in these decisions. Mogle said the lease agreement will describe how we're going to use the space . Rollins felt that we should be drafting a lease right away. Mogle said that he and Jason were working on it. He wanted the board to look through it and know their concerns and comment on it. Ken Koch wants Kathy to look at the agreement as well . 2 FY08 109 Budget Update Dave Mogle said that he did make some minor changes in the budget and the key issue include new hires or position upgrades and will be decided upon on the 13th of March by the City Council and what they will approve . Mogle noted the few items that he adjusted . First revenue item that he adjusted was the Hometown Days by $5,000 due to sponsorships . Then in park expenses they talked about part-time salaries and park contractual salaries ; he noted if they don 't get the new hires they want then they'll have to use more seasonal and contractual workers . Mogle noted that he bumped up the numbers under seasonal staff. Mogle made a point that last year they didn 't ask for staff because there was a lack of funds . He said that this year they will need an administrative assistant. He also explained that we will be bringing on five new parks and possibly Hoover which is 60 to 80 acres . Sleezer wanted four new employees just for that. Rollins noted a Parks and Recreation presentation person once said that they way we should be looking at a Parks and Recreation budget, if our programs are running properly, that this is our baseline of money and that what we are really doing is investing the money and we have a whole lot of dividends . If we calculated volunteers and sponsorships and revenue it's about 45 % . He explained how these numbers make us money and how this is an investment in the community. He felt we should tell the council that when we add an employee or increase our labor it's not like we don't get a return on it. New Business° Chris Rollins wanted to know if the board was interested in someone coming in to talk about fundraising ideas . He gave examples what the director of Acres had done to raise money . Rollins said that he was willing to come in and talk about ideas with us on how we could make money. Rollins noted he had worked with many Park and Recreation boards and has many good ideas .

Dave Mogle From: golinski @fnal.gov Sent: Monday, March 10, 2008 11 : 19 AM To: Dave Mogie Subject: Kalant Property Rezoning Dave , As you may or may not be aware , there ' s been some discussion at City Council and EDC regarding the rezoning of the residence at 101 Center Street from residential to commercial . Many residents from that area have voiced opposition to a business zoning adjacent to Town Square Park . I ' d like this put on the Park Board agenda for the 13th for discussion . I ' d like to know the consensus opinion of the Park Board regarding commercial zoning adjacent to Town Square Park . Thanks , Gary 1 i ,��D CITE O� Memorandum a To: EDC EST. 1036 From: Travis Miller Cc: Lisa Pickering (for distribution) Date: February 27, 2008 Subject: Kalant Rezoning E Plan Commission Recommendation The Plan Commission conducted a public hearing and reviewed the rezoning request February 13, 2008 and made the following action: Motion to recommend approval of rezoning R-2 Residential to B-2 General Business. 0 ayes; 5 no; 1 abstaining Findings noted at the meeting regarding the zoning classification included: The uses of property within the general area of the property in question include predominantly residential uses with a city park to the south and commercial uses across Route 47. B-2 zoning allows for more intense uses than these existing uses. The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property is predominately R-2 Residential with the exception of two parcels across 47 which are zoned B-2. Impact to the traffic on Route 47 due to the proposed parking lot location access point, as well as potential increases to traffic resulting on West Center Street by business patrons were noted as concerns if the property is zoned B-2. Comprehensive Plan Recommendations The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan for the property recommends Traditional Neighborhood. The `Design Guidelines' are listed below for this Land Use: • Any development or redevelopment shall conform to all City regulations regarding their use • As most development will be redevelopment of existing sites, the distinct character of the (Transitional Residential) Neighborhood will be vulnerable to change. Therefore, all development must be carefully designed to fit the character of its existing surroundings. • Existing residential and commercial uses should be preserved, Residential properties fronting on arterial streets may be used for professional or service offices, or for small retail shops consistent with the character of such uses in the downtown area. i Findings Necessary for a Zoning Amendment shall be based on the following: a. Existing uses of property within the general area of the property in question, b. The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question. c. The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing zoning classification, d. The trend of development, if any, in the general area of the property in question, including changes, if any, which have taken place since the day the property in question was placed in its present zoning classification. e. The impact that such reclassification and/or annexation will have upon traffic and traffic conditions on said routes; the effect, if any, such reclassification and/or annexation would have upon existing accesses to said routes; and the impact of additional accesses as requested by the petitioner upon traffic and traffic conditions and flow on said routes.

One parent said they love the older Pre School programs we offer. Basketball Leagues: We have received 48 basketball surveys, which included a wide variety of ratings. Some low marks were given when asked about the quality of the referees in the 3 d and 4`s grade level. Some changes have been made within the league to ensure the quality of the referees for the remainder of the season, These changes included pairing one of the more experienced referees with one of the less experienced referees so the calls would be balanced. The travel teams (which are only local league teams) felt that the team roster size was too large and should be reduced to a maximum of 8 players on a team. This will be looked into for next year, In all levels some of the parents felt that the games were not competitive. Some solutions have been discussed and will be looked into for next year. All coaches received very good marks when parents where asked rate areas pertaining to their knowledge of basketball, interaction with participants, and behavior on the court. Besides a couple of responses, most parents said that their child is enjoying the league by rating the question a very good mark. Scholarships Awarded / Grants Received.
