3. a) Administrator's Report-Comp Plan RecommendationsSCANDIA
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: May 1, 2017
To: Parks & Recreation Committee
From: Neil Soltis, Administrator
Re: Parks update
Comprehensive Plan — Following this report are copies of the Parks and Recreation chapter from the current
comprehensive plan and the parks and trails goals and policies from the plan. At a meeting in the near future
the Committee should work on reviewing the Park and Rec chapter from the existing comp plan and redline
the maps in the plan to identify any changes in existing parks and in the search areas.
In reviewing the existing parks, trails, and recreational facilities consideration should be given to what
opportunities may exist to increase access for all ages. In looking at the previous search areas, consideration
should be given to further identifying the types of facilities needed, the target populations to be served, and
the cost to develop those facilities.
The Committee should also start reviewing the goals and policies and redline what they like and don't like.
Additionally, consideration should be given to identifying any policies that would promote access for all ages to
the active living spaces in the City.
