Board Member Anne Hiney stated that the purpose of the joint meeting was to build the communication between the Park Board and Planning and Zoning and to have the two boards on the same page. The Board Members expressed concern of communication with City Council. Chairman Chesnut stated that Parks Board Advisory Committee is the stepping stones for developers to City Council, and to have parks tie into all parks with walking trails. Board Members expressed desire to have input on all developments, currently have ability to review just the zoning requests, but not with the Final Plat. Board Member Anne Hiney recommended a process for developers to follow before final decision by City Council. Commissioner Hemphill recommended a gate process. After discussion of the process, Commissioner Hemphill recommended that on each of the reports a statement be made giving the response from the Park Board. Ms. 011ie stated that all submittals are distributed to Parks Board Staff and there are comments made on the Plat, but not included on the report. The recommendation for a gate process would have to be included in the Zoning Ordinance, which can be done through an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance and amended to the Subdivision Regulations. Commissioner Hemphill asked if on the report to Planning and Zoning, if a statement could include response from Parks and then the report to the Council to include a statement from Parks, as well as statement from Planning and Zoning. Board Member Hiney stated that the Park Board developed a Park Master Plan, which divides the city into four zones. Having a park is not recommended in all areas, especially those with lot sizes of 20,000 square feet or larger. The park fees would be paid in lieu of developing a park for these areas. The money would then be allocated to areas with no parks, that need a park or upgrade the equipment on existing parks. Commissioners asked to see Parks Master Plan. The consensus between the Planning and Zoning Commission and Park Board is to have a joint work session quarterly.
