Mr. Herbst further stated that nearly 25 acres of land will be in public domain - outlots, . wetlands. The developer is providing a trail, and, he said, the value of land in the oak forest far Mr. Herbst replied that if he had known from the beginning that the Park Board wanted a 7-acre park, the development would have been laid out differently. He noted that the proposal protects the woods and provides for a trail along the lake, which is what he thought the city wanted. He also suggested that a neighborhood park would be better situated to the west of the Staloch property. Mr. Cummings stated the tot lot concept is not what the Park Board is looking for. He said he believed it was the consensus of members to put the tot lot and parking lot back into the subdivision and provide a park of2-3 acres where kids can run and play. Mr. Russell said it is staffs recommendation that the parking lot is not needed as 62nd Street will be redesigned. As proposed, the Pemton development has a deficit of two to three acres in required park dedication. Mr. Russell noted the developer had provided a memo regarding the cost. He said the developers are looking at the cost approach, while the city's policy requires specific acres of land for park dedication, unless the Park Board wants dollars in lieu of land; that typically is done in "infill" situations, he said, which is not the case in the annexation area. Discussion of new development areas Mr. Russell stated the net developable land in the Pemton development, Legends of Stillwater, is . 70.08 acres; the city's required park dedication is 10 percent of the developable land or 7 acres. Three areas of parks are proposed: 4.8 acres of oak savanna (4.14 after wetlands are excluded); a .3-acre tot lot; and .36-acre trailhead/parking lot. Approval of minutes: Mr. Liehr moved approval of the minutes of Oct. 27, 1997. Ms. Amrein noted the minutes should be corrected to indicate the trail easement for the Pemton development is along the lake only, not the entire perimeter of the property.
