Decision Making Criteria
IA1q[) CAP1 AIRCHIPI;:: AMU U1113AN[)1S1IG1q I P1ANNING
o A Par 3 course would require significant investment as the whole course would need
to be redesigned. The resulting course does not meet the priorities of the of the
community and would likely not be financially viable
Decision Making Criteria
o Want to make sure the committee is considering the criteria the group created at the
beginning of this process as we move towards making a recommendation to City council
o Chris reminds the committee of the ranked order of community priorities from Open
House/Survey and also from the Student group surveys
■ There have been emails and discussions happening that incorrectly represent
this information.
o Chris asked the group to consider that as we present the concepts to remember that this
is an iterative process and we welcome conversion and comment about how to improve
each concept
o John commented on considering compatible uses for the space
o Rebecca commented on potentially recommending zoning changes to make housing
more feasible
Look into the Future
o Chris read the vision statement that was put out by the City at the beginning of this
process.
Master Plan Concepts for Open House #2
o Chris described the proposed agenda for Open House #2
o Chis asked the stakeholders to consider, "Do these concepts conceptually meet the
priorities of your community?"
o Concept 1 shows restored Golf Course
■ Asked golfers if the concept meets the needs of creating a restored course.
o Concept 2 shows Hybrid option one, Chris presented the creation of a linear park along
Blaine Street and modification of the golf course to allow that to happen.
■ Chris discussed phasing of the concept in 2 phases across 10 years
o Concept 2a shows Hybrid option two, Chris presented the alternative for a future phase
of the Hybrid concept. This allows enhancement of the property transition to a nature
park after the gold course closes.
■ Jennifer commented that this scheme is taking into account the inundation from
Kah Tai Lagoon.
■ Andy asked is the design team has had a chance to talk to Quimper Wildlife and
the Land Trust
■ Cameron asked about conservation easements.
■ Forest commented that prairies cannot be expanded at random, require specific
needs. Commented that we need to look at the size and programming needs of

aquatic center. Commented that PT does not need another nature park, it would
likely be underused. Commented to consider permeable paving.
