Motion carried 3-0. 5. Discussion and Possible Action Re: Avalon Ridge Parkland Dedication. A. Waszak introduced the proposed Avalon Ridge development and potential for parkland dedication credits for O.L. 1 located in the NW section of the proposed development. A. Waszak indicated that a PED connection between future Avalon Ct, and HWY PD would be a qualified for parkland dedication credits, if the Park Commission felt it was a benefit to the park system. P. Hoechst questioned if the entire outlot provides any benefit as its too small for any other improvements. T. Powers recommended crediting just the trail corridor, like with previous developments.

Discussion and Possible Action Re: Zipline Purchase. Staff provided photos and a description of the playground zipline being sold by the City of Stoughton. The zipline was installed last Summer and would still need to be removed by City of Stoughton staff. A.

The purchase would not be made until the zipline is removed and can be further inspected by staff and/or playground contractors. Motion made by P. Hoechst, seconded by T. Powers to authorize staff to purchase the zipline from the City of Stoughton for a price not to exceed $6,000, if further inspection does not discover any safety or liability concerns.
