Johnson explained the Sketch Plan process and reviewed the proposed PUD. The Town will have access to approximately 50 acres. The committee discussed how the proposed PUD fits in with the Town¡¦s Parks, Trails and Open Space Master Plan. Referral agency¡¦s changes to the sketch plan are due back next week, followed by preliminary and then final. It will probably be almost the end of 2006 before the process in completed. The referral letter from the SPORT Committee should include that the group needs on-site viewing. Also, the trailhead needs to be located on their property, not the Town¡¦s. It is conceptual at this point, and the more specific needs will be addressed at a later date.

Dopplick made comments on Frisbee golf and is concerned with people walking on the sagebrush and natural vegetation. Steinbrink agreed. Jamieson confirmed that Staff agrees that Frisbee golf may not be the appropriate use in the designated area because of damage to the vegetation, verbal promises made to the neighbors about only passive use in that area and that Council recommended the entire Rainbow Park Master Plan be reviewed before anything new is added.
