They would be using the natural tones and <br /> lime stones, brick, etc. <br /> Chair Smith asked for comment on the connectivity, safety, and pedestrian circulation. <br /> Hawn suggested they consider a wetland bridge structure as opposed to the jog in the trail along <br /> Willow near the wetlands. <br /> Gaffron recommended they, at least, aim the trail with a `Y' directing users around the triangular <br /> green space. <br /> With regard to recreation, Hawn asked if the applicant would be installing the playground <br /> equipment. <br /> Johnston indicated they would be putting it in. <br /> Gaffron pointed out that there would be family housing potential and recommended the applicant <br /> build the tot lot. <br /> With regard to Kelley Parkway lighting and streetscapes, Gaffron pointed out that the applicant <br /> had provided several suggestions and he asked the Commission for their feedback on the type of <br /> feel they'd like to create and if their desire was for dark skies or highly lit skies like at Often <br /> Brothers. He asked what they found most logical, a subtle box light, or decorative lighting and <br /> whether their goal would be to continue Long Lake's street lamp look. <br /> Mabusth asked what Shelly Johnson,traffic consultant, would suggest. <br /> Johnson stated that he would recommend at least enough light to ensure safe night driving along <br /> Kelley Parkway. <br /> Chair Smith questioned whether they could add interest with lighting. <br /> Bremer pointed out that there were nice suggestions included in the packet. <br /> Johnston stated that, of the three suggestions, he personally preferred the straight poles with any <br /> of the three lamp looks. He did not believe shoe box lights to be the best recommendation. <br /> Fritzler suggested harmonia lights along Kelley Parkway and Nostalgia on the side roads in the <br /> development. <br /> Mabusth and Gaffron agreed that they would prefer staggered irregular lighting along Kelley <br /> Parkway. <br /> Page 26 <br />
