MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 1993 <br /> CHANGE OF MEETING DATE <br /> Because of various conflicts, it was decided to change the January meeting to Thursday, January <br /> 6 at 7:15 p.m. Howells will be unable to attend. <br /> (#2) UPDATE aN DICKEY DEVELOPMENT <br /> Gerhardson reported that the developers had indicated they would present a preliminary plat plan <br /> in January to the Park Commission, Planning Commission and Council. <br /> White asked if the sale of the property was contingent upon the approval of the subdivision. <br /> Chair Flint felt normally there would be such a contingency. <br /> McMillan asked what had been happening at the Planning Commission and Council meetings <br /> regarding this property. Gerhardson responded that both the Planning Commission and Council <br /> had been presented the same information as the Park Commission. He thought Council had <br /> addressed the issue of wetlands by choosing not to be involved and leaving regulation of the <br /> wetlands to the other agencies. Two acre lots are being proposed. <br /> Ilse reported that she had a meeting with the Medicine Man and shared the concerns of the Park <br /> Commission. His hope was that there be a feeling of a "people" place rich in Native American <br /> history with walking paths, native plants, rock piles, benches, places to play and places for <br /> families to gather. The Medicine Man said the barn had to be removed and suggested some kind <br /> of shelter for picnics or programs. Possibly there could be a way to work in the "story" within <br /> the shelter. Thev were unsure what to do with the old house. There was some thought as to <br /> splitting off that property with ownership by someone else, possibly a Native American group. <br /> Pat Dickey indicated that if the Park Commission were supportive of an interpretive center, then <br /> she would talk to some families for private donations. <br /> Howells asked where the priorities were of the Park Commission - with the bike trails or <br /> preservation of Indian lands. Chair Flint responded the resolution was passed with room for <br /> both concerns, i.e., the acreage for park purposes was enough to provide for both. <br /> Gerhardson confirmed that he would be sure the Dickey's were sent a copy of the resolution that <br /> was passed by the Park Commission in November. <br /> 4 <br />
