Developer's Comments:
Justification: On August 10, 2004, PRAB recommended accepting a
combination of park land and money in lieu for Laureate Fields Subdivision.
Since then, the subdivision has undergone revisions that increased the number
of lots. The change is considered substantial and is required to come back
before PRAB.

Hill explained that the plan is to combine both parcels from Laureate Fields and
Park West into one park to fill the park land requirements for both
developments.
Bailey asked what the total number of acres would be after the two pieces are
combined.
Jefcoat stated that total amount will be 12.7 acres.
Hoskins said to remember the roads and trails are still conceptual but the
Fayetteville trail system will run across the south side of the property.
Coles interjected that the City already holds that trail easement.
Mauritson, representing Mrs. Benedict who owns Bio -tech Pharmaceutical,
stated that her desire would be for the developers to consider a buffer zone
around her property which is located on the north side of the development.
Bailey said he sees no problem with the transfer provided in the end there is
enough acreage to have a park.
Hill clarified that the purpose of the special meeting was to vote on the transfer
of the property from Laureate Fields
Mauritson requested some clarification of the transfer process.
Hoskins explained that this is to allow a combining of the trails and parkland to
provide or a larger park instead of multiple smaller ones. He also stated that
there is some interest in including some tree preservation areas. He also
stated that at some point as the process continues they may begin offering
money -in -lieu rather than giving up more actual acreage. He said they are
hoping to have the tree preservation ordinance revisited and see if there's a
way to combine the park ordinance and tree preservation ordinance so as not
to 'kill' the developer.
Mauritson stated the tree preservation ordinance is a separate issue from park
land and tree preservation areas cannot be parkland due to diverse
requirements for the land use.
Hill asked that in consideration of time to have a motion made.
PRAB Motion:
Pawlik-Holmes moved to accept staff recommendation to transfer five
plus acres from Laureate Fields to the proposed Park West development
park land which is a size and location yet to be determined.
