Commission Questions of Staff - Rice clarifies about the two waivers sought in regard to the public land dedication (unencumbered land). Typically we require the dedication be unencumbered land and this is different because it has the easements. I understand what is envisioned is this is going to be part of the regional trail connection. In the Lanterns project, there was also a public land dedication for trail purposes on the south end of the project. There is a piece of land in between. What was the Lanterns piece? Russ says the Lanterns land was actually a trail. The Davidson Highline Ditch runs on the southern edge of the Lanterns which is just off the image shown on the screen. The Goodhue Ditch runs on the south. The City owns land for a trail just to the south of the Lanterns. They own land that connects to Steel Ranch, a small triangle. There was a trade. Staff found a study completed during the Steel Ranch subdivision and the Highway 42 plan. A trail along Davidson Highline Ditch did not work crossing Highway 42. The trail had to be moved down to the Lafayette water easement in order to get it under Highway 42. It is a better alignment. This is the trade you are describing. Rice asks about use of credits for the improvements constructed. Is there a precedent for that? Russ says yes, the Hutchinson subdivision (six units in Old Town) and the old Acme Mine. The level of improvements including the mine cap and the trail itself is considered credits and fee toward open space. Rice says you make reference to fiscal study showing negative capital impact and recurring annual revenue deficit. Are these the same numbers that were presented in the annexation proposal?
