iq MEMORANDUM To: Board of Commissioners John Link, County Manager From: David Stancil, E&RC Director Date: December 1, 2004 Re: Preliminary Review - "Citizen Plan #3" On November 23rd, staff received an email from Matthew Barton, who served on the CHATPEC Work Group, regarding a proposed re-design of the Twin Creeks site. This redesign, referred to as "Citizen Plan #3," appears to essentially invert the existing plan by moving the schools campus to the southern portion of the site and shifting the park to the northern portion of the property. Given the recent notice of this new plan, staff has not had sufficient time to thoroughly examine the proposal or offer definitive comments. The following may serve as preliminary comments based on our cursory review to date. The plan, along with maps and supporting materials, is provided as Attachment B.
