5.Discuss and possibly act on the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan.
Forest City presented questions regarding "conservation development" for the small lots.
Scott Norris from Land Advisors discussed the buffer size in the flood plain, the reclamation land, the
economic concerns with the flood plains, and the details for implementation.
Bruce Smith from Land Development discussed the compensation for them on the flood plain. Also interested
in the Rutherford Linear Park; its intent and implementation. Ask what would happen if a golf course goes in
across the land?
Francois deKock of Halff responded that the views and vistas must be open, flood maintenance must be
considered, and the added benefit of the buffer is for protection based on build out.
Trent Lewis's response included the importance of the conservation is for flood water conveyance, trails may
be run through flood plain but must go outside and if driveways come against flood line then problems occur.
deKock added that reasoning for conservation consists of infrastructure more productive, two acre lots are not
open space concepts, and that it should protect beautiful parts of cities.
Loren Moulder suggested that no credit be given for flood plain park, no credit for conservation plan if in the
flood plain.
More discussion held regarding a way to balance the flood plain with the density figures or gross acres.
Opinions and questions were raised regarding the current detention, the reclamation of 150 acres, and the
biofiltration process arrived at for the 100' slope. Forest Cities presented their preliminary flood study and
