Conceptual Plan Review of possible subdivision located on Elkhorn Road for Russell Walton Parcel # WUP 00346 The next step for this project would be for a planned development due to the mixed zoning. McCormick asked about Waltons Way. The street and infrastructure will need to be added. Both entrances are on Elkhorn Road. Parker asked about the zoning to the north which is R-3 and about whether this would be parkland or park land fees. Crone asked if it was possible that all new development could pay fees instead of creating parks. Director Marquardt stated that the Park Board has a say in where parks are located. Stanek was concerned about the no minimum lot size within a planned development. Crone would like the developer to create a walkway to the north to get to the park there. The Plan Commission was in favor of the project moving forward. 4. Site Plan Review and Possible Approval of Proposed Contractor shops located at the corner of N. Prospect and Endeavor Tax Parcel # 292-0515-3434-001 for Becker & Bolton. The applicant was not present at the meeting. McCormick asked about the tenants but thought the parking adequate.
