Developers. in.. the Wol[Pen(:reek.'. Corridor currently.. have.. the option of dedicating areas planned '. for .. creek
improvements (lakes, .\valkways,bankimprovements, etc. ) or.. developing the improvements. The proposed
amendment removes the option of dedication or development and requires both the . dedication and improvement
of property . reflected on the. master plan for '. the . corridor .
Commissioner Gribou . stated tharconsistencyis ..important in developing the . Corridor. Consistency in
development and maintenance of the creek improvements is an integral part of the overall plan for the Corridor.
City Planner Callaway stated that staff could add .information that would address standards to further clarify
exactly what is expected in the way of creek improvements. The key to continuity and quality of the development
will rest primarily with the Wolf Pen Creek. Design . Review Board and the Parks Board.
Chairperson Hawthorne.... expressed concern. with the . piecemeal. development. of the .corridor. Continuity will be
difficult to obtain considering the spot developmentthat will occur.
City...PlannerCalla\vaystated.thatthe.same....type of piecemeal. development occurs with other public improvements
such. as streets. The City may have to complete the portionofa. street. if there. is. a public necessity; however, the
Jdeveloper is. responsible for the.portion of the street on their property. The proposed ordinance. amendment is a
development tooltharwill aIlo\v the City to develop the corridor; however, bond funds, grants and other
resources may also be available. After the improvements are developed, the property will be dedicated to the
City to be publicly maintained.
