5.BEDERWOOD PARK PROPOSAL. There was a discussion about the Bederwood Park j.rof,osaJ, which was discussed at the Jast meeting. It basically relates to a plan dated July 21, 1990 prepared by EarJ F. Anderson & Associates. Because of the absence of three members, it was decided to defer any final action on this until the next meeting. All the commission members appeared to generally favor this proposal, and were impressed with the detail and initiative taken by the neighbors in coming up with a plan such as this. Ms. Sherokee Use was also there with some comments concerning their desire to complete this project. Mr. Gerhardson mentioned that it might be best to present this in stages on a priority basis. Accordingly, the Bederwood Park proposal will be taken up at the next commission meeting. Mr. Gerhardson also mentioned that there might be some charitable contributions available through the Lion's Club, which might want to donate some money to hel{. build part of these improvements. 6.FULLERTON DEVELOPMENT. The Fullerton development was then discussed. Chairman Dick Flint mentioned that he had talked about some of the concerns expressed by the developer with City staff and with the developer. The developer has evidently withdrawn his request to seek City indemnification to have a green buffer zone there, and the only issue remaining was the timing issue. The developer still wanted to not have anything developed for these bike trails for a two-year period. The developer suggested a compromise that the bike trail and path would not be built until it could be hooked up with some continuing bike trails throughout the City. It was then discussed by the commission and commission did not want the developer to have a delay built into the easement negotiations. There was some concern that this might be lost in the shuffle if it was not done during the planning stages now, and to tie it to something that might not ever happen in that area would make it a useless benefit that the City had obtained. Accordingly, Mr. Flint was instructed to oppose any delays in implementing this plan, but to take due consideration for working around any septic system problems that might exist, as a practical basis. Mr. Flint is going to be appearing at the City Council meeting on Monday to express our opinions. 4.WILDHURST ESTATE. There was a discussion concerning the Wildhurst Estate's market evaluations prepared by Paul J. Smith. Mr. Smith came up with three potential valuations for that property, pursuant to an August 20, 1990 letter to Jeanne Mabusth. There was a general discussion of all commission members concerning these comments.
