Erickson-_"What about parking facilitiesY What families will move here? The mothers t~3.th mall children would not care to send children this far. " Haglund said he would like some clarification from P and R members, am you want land for parks or Bash danation7" Reply was that it depended an number of residents and famil.ie$ concerned.

Rather than develop the ceitire area egd da with wet basements, etc., ,go to a modified. method and develop an high .spots only? Would you consider cluster arrangements7" who Engineer Friga~had met with Park & Rec membe~ earlier in the evening, had explained the blue areas on the soil cronservatian` $i~tlat eC" and area to the east of it are part of land through this entire watershed area which is ear- marked for trail systems, rather than building development, isx order to control the water problem.

Families with fewer children are what we are expecting." He went on to say that building had bey allowed in ditches across the street. Eri.ekson replied that "her understanding of park land is not a ditch." LeRoy wished to know, "does park land have to be designated before a development contract is drawn'~N Robinette spoke, "as Director of Public Works,- there are some things I would like to point out. There are 167 homes here. A road might someday cases out on Dodd; on the west, a road might someday come out on Highview. Meanwhil®, if one entrance gets blocked, it w~auld be impossible to enter this area. Zt is necessary to work out the matter of streets." Starr pointed out that a median at Cedar Av access would help. Mr. Dale pointed out that the first phase of development they are eon- sidering is approximately 4~ lots--all lying east of (ireatsight Av. on their plat. Erickson said that in the past it had worked out satisfactorily for lots to be held in escrow until develognent reached certain goals.

Most propagation would be ri law lying beds, per- haps five or six. The biggest ~t of building would be a shelter with slatted roof for growing smme plants.
