Discussion of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan recommendations for trails
Background/Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Commission on December 14 re-reviewed the application for the Final Plat of
Whiteoak. The Commission recommended (4-3) that a 10-foot trail easement be required along the
western side of the proposed plat. The Whiteoak plat was presented to City Council at the December 19
meeting. City Council discussed that the Parks and Recreation Master Plan was not detailed on which
side of the roadway the trail should be located. City Council made the final decision that the trail
easement shall be required along the eastern side of the road which is what the applicant requested.
The Parks and Recreation Master provides guidance for trails along roadways and does not provide
specific details on the design of trails such as the curves, topographic changes,intersections ,etc.
The Parks and Recreation Commission on January 11 discussed the recent City Council meeting
regarding trail recommendations in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Commission decided to
have a work session to identify the layout, connectivity and side of the road for the trails. It was
recommended that city staff facilitate a work session to review the side of the road that the recommended
trails be located. Most of the Commission members felt that the details such as right of ways and
elevations should not be part of the planning process at this time.
