URA chairman updates council on Two Rivers Park plans; shoreline, stormwater and fuels work discussed
Summary
URA Chairman Jim Martin presented updates on shoreline stabilization and permitting, a planned stormwater pipe replacement, parking-lot options and a proposed forest-health/fuels-reduction assessment for Two Rivers Park; council and staff held an extended discussion but took no formal vote on park projects.
URA Chairman Jim Martin briefed the Priest River City Council on plans for Two Rivers Park, focusing on shoreline stabilization and permitting, a stormwater pipe replacement project, parking-lot options and a proposed forest health and fuels-reduction assessment.
Mayor Jeff Connolly and Planning & Zoning Administrator Quayle participated in a lengthy discussion with Martin about permitting requirements and the practical steps needed to advance each item. Martin outlined the need to coordinate shoreline work with permitting authorities and to evaluate funding and engineering options for the stormwater pipe replacement.
The council and staff also discussed parking needs near the park and how different layouts and materials would affect stormwater flows and access. The group agreed a forest health assessment and fuels-reduction project could reduce wildfire risk near park facilities, but minutes record no formal direction, budget allocation or motion tied specifically to the park items at this meeting.
The update was presented as part of a workshop item and served to inform council priorities and potential next steps, including engineering, permitting and possible grant or capital funding searches.
