Wilson said the decision taking land or money would depend on the <br /> location of the land. <br /> McDermott was concerned that taking land would result in making a designated lot non- <br /> buildable and whether the subdivision was for 4 ar S lots. Gerhardson noted that the <br /> application is in sketch plan review only at this time, and the determination of buildable <br /> lots would be discussed. <br /> Flint noted that the prQperty the Commission would like for a trail would be from Lot 3. <br /> The amaunt of land would be 0.S acres. Ftint said the Commission definitely should <br /> express interest in preserving the land next to the Saga Hill property. Flint asked for a <br /> representative to attend the Planning Commission meeting of Februaty 20 where this <br /> subdivision would be discussed. Wilson volunteered to attend that meeting. <br /> Wilson moved, Howells seconded, to recommend that the Park Commission further <br /> review the application for consideration of land for Park Dedication.
