Parks and Recreation Director Vraa explained to the Commission that
the developer.of Thomas Lake Apartments. had recently made revisions
to the previous plan and the proponent needed Commission review
prior to the 11/6/85 City Council Meeting. Director Vraa explained
the following revisions:
1. The park boundary is altered exchanging park property at the
entrance drive of the apartment for additional parkland within
the southeast knoll adjacent to the lake.
2. The grading by the proponent for side slopes which was proposed
within the park was revised using a tiered retaining wall thus
eliminating any grading within the park boundary.
3. The proposed south storm sewer line is removed eliminating
grading and disturbance within the park.
4. The current plan proposes a storm water retention area on park
property.
Dominium Representative Bob Lux stated the developer would place the
trail, as shown on park property, subject to the department's review
and staking of alignment. Further, the developer will provide
