1. Call to order: The meeting was called to order at 7:15 PM.
2. Hear visitors: There were no visitors.
3. Discussion and possible action concerning park land dedication for the Pebble Hills
Subdivision: Eric Ploeger introduced Mr. Frank Thurmond, a Developer for the Pebble Hills
Subdivision. Eric said that in 1996 the Parks and Recreation Board reviewed the park land
dedication for the Pebble Hills Subdivision (see attachment). To this date, there has been no
development on the dedicated property. Mr. Thurmond stated that the preliminary plats for the
property expired after 18 months and needed to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Mr. Thurmond would now like to retain a portion of the dedicated property(5.28
acres),put a detention pond on it,maintain it for private use for water for his cattle, for possible
future park land dedication. He mentioned that a large portion of the dedicated land is in the
100-year flood plain. Mr. Thurmond went on to say that he had presented his proposal to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and Development Services Staff. They didn't seem to have a
problem with it, but because of the fact that the Parks and Recreation Board had looked at the
dedication in its original form, it was suggested that Mr. Thurmond come back to the Board with
the new proposal.
Steve mentioned that Mr. Thurmond's preliminary plat fell under the old Park Land Dedication
Ordinance that has since been revised. He went on to say though, that the amount of land that
Mr.Thurmond had originally dedicated was above and beyond the per-dwelling unit requirement
for park land dedication (under the old and new ordinance). Mr. Thurmond has divided the
preliminary plat into Phase I, Phase II and Phase IIB (Phase JIB is the portion of land that he is
requesting to retain).
Glen Davis made a motion to accept the amended preliminary plat for the park land dedication as
presented by Mr. Thurmond, removing the 5.28 acres (Phase IIB) from his original dedication.
The proposed amended plat now is just for Phase I and Phase II,not Phase IIB. The 5.28 acres to
be taken out is projected to be a park, but it is not binding on any party. Any future phases
dedicated will fall under the new Park Land Dedication Ordinance. John Nichols seconded the
motion. All were in favor,and the motion passed 4-0.
4. Adjourn: Glen made a motion to adjourn. John seconded the motion. All were in favor, and
the meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM.
