development and maintenance of the creek improvements is an integral part of the overall plan for the Corridor.

exactly what . is expected in.thewayof creek improvements. The key to continuity and quality. of the development
wilIrest primarily with the Wolf Pen. Creek Design Review Board and the Parks Board.

difficult to obtain considering the spot development that will occur.

developer is responsible for the portion of the. street on their property. The proposed ordinance amendment is a
development tool that will allow 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.
