Committee sets July work session to refine Miller property proposal and trail connections
Summary
Committee members discussed the Miller parcel and adjacent lots as potential open-space or conservation-subdivision opportunities, emphasized trail connections and public access, and agreed to hold a single-issue work session in July to prepare a city-council recommendation.
Committee members discussed the Miller property and a cluster of adjacent parcels identified as potential open-space acquisitions or candidates for a conservation subdivision.
Speakers reviewed the parcel geometry, stub roads and cul-de-sac limits, and the town's master-trail plan. Members noted that under current zoning the site could yield multiple residential lots (committee members discussed 11'14 as plausible counts in one scenario), but they also discussed hybrid approaches: the landowner could retain a small number of estate lots while donating or selling the remainder as open space, or the committee could pursue public-trail easements to improve connectivity.
The committee agreed to a single-issue work session in July to receive a more detailed proposal, coordinate with trails and parks staff for trail alignment and public-access options, and prepare any city-council materials that would be needed if the committee later recommends financial support. Dates discussed included July 8 and July 15; staff will confirm a date and notify participants.
Members asked staff to reach out to the landowner and nearby landowners, to confirm possible trail alignments and public-access terms, and to prepare draft dollar figures for the committee's review at the work session.
