4 <br /> Project: Improvements including construction of a small parking lot, universal accessible <br /> compliant trail connections, an overlook platform, and vegetation management <br /> Mr. Kyle Zick presented before the Commission. <br /> Mr. Zick explained the proposed improvements to Cotton Farm. Mr. Zick began by explaining <br /> that a wetland delineation was completed in 2017. <br /> Mr. Zick stated that in regards to parking improvements, they are proposing to shorten the <br /> driveway and make parking more visible from the street. There are currently two parking spaces. <br /> They will be adding one accessible parking space and three other parking spaces onto the <br /> property. The accessible space will be constructed with pavement while the additional parking <br /> spaces will be composed of gravel. <br /> Mr. Zick explained that in regards to vegetation management, they will be adding a native <br /> pollinator seed mix as requested in addition to planning trees. There will be a bio-swale added to <br /> the property. An overlook platform will be constructed <br /> Overall, the proposed project will reduce the amount of impervious surface by 2,000 sq. feet. <br /> Chairman Hamilton read the engineering memo into the record. <br /> Mr. Beuttell asked if construction of the overlook will impact any resource areas. <br /> Mr. Zick stated that there is a potential for the overlook to cause shading so it may change the <br /> vegetation in the area. <br /> Mr. Beuttell asked what the goals of the invasive management plan was. <br /> Mr. Zick stated that though not many invasive species are on site that they are viewing this <br /> project as an opportunity to eliminate what invasive species are already there before it could <br /> become a problem. <br /> Mr. Beuttell asked what the set size was for the overlook. <br /> Mr. Zick stated that they sized it imagining that the overlook platform would be used for <br /> educational purposes so they sized it ideally to hold 13-15 children. <br /> Mr. Beuttell asked if people are going to be able to turn around in the parking lot. <br /> Mr. Zick stated that there will be room for vehicles to turn around with larger vehicles able to <br /> park on the street. <br /> Mr. Beuttell asked if there were areas that will not be getting new seeding treatments. <br /> Mr. Zick confirmed that some areas will be left as they are. <br />
