AGENDA ITEM N. 1: Update from Parrs & Recreation Director regarding Pebble Creel
Part.
Director of Parks &Recreation Beachy explained that there was 150 foot strip of land dedicated as
parkland with the Pebble Creek Subdivision. He showed the Lick Creek Master Plan and told the
Commission how it linked to the park. He anticipated that there would be some type of trailway to the
Lick Creek Park when the master plan was completed.
Commissioner Park understood that the fence surrounding the parkland dedication area would be
removed since it was a condition place upon approval of the rezoning request of a recent phase. His
Since the fence has not been removed, he said that he would be opposed to any future rznings in
Pebble Creel, unless this matter is taken care of. He asked Mr. Beachy what his feelings were regarding
this issue. Mr. Beachy explained that since the parr had not been developed, the fence was not
restricting the parr, however, the "No Trespassing" signs were removed. The only concern was that the
City did not lose the opportunity for development of the parr in the future. Mr. Beachy stressed that it
would be detrimental if the parr were used in the current state, because of safety factors.
Commissioner Floyd felt that the area should have a sign distinguishing it as City property and not a part
of the Pebble Creek Country Club. Mr. Beachy agreed that the park may need to be "signed" as City
property.

the park land being used by the public in the current state because of safety.
