VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING None AUDIENCE COMMENTS AND APPEARANCE REQUESTS None OLD BUSINESS A) Killarney Hills Tract 2 Director Mason stated the Community Development Department came up with a Scope of Work for a Master Planning effort for Killarney Hills, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to move it forward back in May. Staff started the preliminary work and we were getting close to holding the first public meeting when the assembly asked staff to attend an assembly work session for a Killarney Hills discussion. At that meeting, Mason and the Borough Manager were directed to halt that planning effort, change course, and allow Duane Dvorak, Resource Management Officer, to pursue a development planning effort for the property. He put out a Request for Interest and then followed up for a Request for Proposals from developers to bring ideas to the borough about how that property should be developed. Our code says now in Title 18 is essentially to have this type of development plan get rolling the borough, administratively, has to go through the same process that they would to dispose of borough land by lease or by sale at fair market value. An application for a Title 18 Land Disposal Review came to our office from Duane Dvorak acting as the staff for the assembly and subsequently for the Borough Lands Committee. The application was processed, a staff report was prepared, but staffs recommendation based on the knowledge that many people were on board with this Master Planning Process to decide what was best for the parcel and for the community. We felt we could not recommend disposal even if it was for the purposes of getting a development plan because from Community Development Department's perspective, we do not know what the Parks and Recreation Committee Minutes Page 1 of 3 December 13, 2016 community would like to see in any kind of development. Staff felt it might be wise to go back to at least a condensed version of the Master Planning effort so that when the borough gives the developers direction on, at least these are the kinds of criteria that need to be met for your proposal to be satisfactory, we thought the community should weigh in on that. We - ---- - recommended denial of the Title 18 Land Disposal and the Planning and Zoning Commission postponed it to February so that borough staff, PBZ, and the assembly could have more time to talk about where this should go now. There are still discussions that need to be had on how we are going to move forward but there is a Title 18 Land Disposal case out there for Killarney Hills. The Planning and Zoning Commission will hear the case in February. There are complications and considerations being to go through the disposal process on a piece of property that large and worth that much money it would have to go to a vote at our next general election. Inflation has to be accounted for over the past couple of decades. It would have to go before the voters. It will be before the commission again in February. Title 18 is very vague in how the borough is supposed to determine whether a parcel is surplus or not. Keeping a ballfield there and developing more of a sports complex also fits in within the future land use and zoning designations of the parcels. CHAIR SALTONSTALL stated the committee has submitted a memo in favor of the master plan. Committee discussion. B) KIB Land Disposal Director Mason updated the committee on the land disposal cases and she stated the land sale is scheduled for spring 2017, April or May was Duane Dvorak's target. Committee discussion. C) Monashka Bandit Range — Clean Up and Closure Tom Quass stated he is still waiting. He keeps calling the people for the permits so we can put the sign up in the right-of-way. He started this in September. We can clean it again and hopefully by spring DOT will have a plan to ditch and put up the sign. D) Saltery Trail Improvements Quass stated he applied for an easement, as of tomorrow we should have the easement assigned to the borough. It will be identified as a road but we have three years to get it surveyed so Andy Schroeder, ITN, will contract a surveyor to complete the survey work. Once it is surveyed, the easement will be there and then the road can be developed. E) Trail Summit Date CHAIR SALTONSTALL stated we had talked about having the Trails Summit the first week in April. NEW BUSINESS A) Recreational Trails Program Grant — FAQ Sheet Quass said there are two grants; one is $50,000 that is for non -motorized trails, and one is $100,000 for motorized trails. The application process ends in August. He read the requirements to the committee. B) TMO's for Saltery Trail: SM7 — SM9 During discussion the committee relayed additions and deletions to the TMO's to Janel Day, GIS Analyst. C) November and December Meeting Schedule COMMITTEE MEMBER LEIST MOVED to permanently modify the November and December regular schedule so that the Borough Parks and Recs meeting falls on the 2nd Tuesday of those months.
