• ~t the staff report, and the new Alternative 5 referenced by Mr. Wolfe. Mr. Pavan provided a visual presentation showing the Linn/Oak Grove development, open space areas, existing Kottinger neighborhood, Lund II area, Foley family property, and Vineyard Avenue Specific Plan area. Mr. Pavan provided information regarding: 1) the number of proposed circular trails; 2) on-street parking; 3) trail access points from streets; 4) trail classes, including a regional trail; and 5) possible location of a neighborhood park. He advised that the purpose of the workshop was to determine the thoughts of the Commission and Committee regarding how the open space element of the project should be addressed. A question was raised regarding the number of loop trails planned for the property, and staff advised that trail configurations would be determined in the field. Commissioner Kummer also discussed with staff where off-street parking would be if it were decided not to go with Alternative 5, and where trail access would be available. Commissioner Dibiase confirmed that regional trails would be Class A, and other trails would be Class C. He also confirmed that a neighborhood park was not included in Alternative 5. Commissioner Narum asked Mr. Pavan to indicate the area where a park might be located . Commissioner Kummer also confirmed that Alternative 5 would include a horse trough, but not a parking area for horse trailers. Mr. Wolfe advised that there would not be a specific area for horse trailers, but they would be allowed to take up spaces in the 11-space parking area. Staff reviewed with the Commission and Committee Members the various aspects of the five Alternatives being proposed. The meeting was opened for public comment. Mike Regan 1363 Hearst Drive -felt that all Alternatives should be given consideration, since they all contained pluses and minuses. He thought that while a staging area and access to trails were very important, no one particular neighborhood should bear all the impacts. Mr. Regan felt that Alternative 5 appeared to be a good compromise, and he was concerned about making the area too attractive for kids to get into trouble. Dolores Bengtson 568 Hamilton Way -was happy to have been a part of the discussion group that helped put together Alternative 5, and was satisfied that it provides an adequate staging area, multi-use trails, and a time-table for public access. Ms. Bengtson addressed some of the local homeowner's concerns, including traffic on Hearst Drive and an additional hangout area at the end of the street. She encouraged decision makers to address issues upfront, and suggested good lighting and parking controls be included in areas of concern. Ms. Bengtson also recommended that the staging area be gated, and felt it was important that all projects in the southeast section of the City provide staging areas as has been indicated. She fully supported Alternative 5. Julia Casamaior 2018 Foxswallow Road -thanked Ms. Bengtson for bringing the public's attention to areas of concern regarding trail- access in the open space area. As a user of trails, she supports Alternative S; however, she understands the concerns of the local homeowners.
