The city council met Monday evening one final time to workshop possibilities for the golf course before their final decision, slated for Sept. 26.

Chris Jones of Groundswell presented two revised plans based on the outcome of the July 17 meeting, when a decision could not be made whether to maintain the golf course, build a central park instead, or create a hybrid of the two.

“We were tasked to develop one [alternative] concept,” Jones said. “We developed two: Concept A and Concept B.”

Jones went on to explain the Concept B was only created because certain elements of Concept A did not go over well when presented to the stakeholders. This was due to concerns about location and density of the proposed housing.

“Therefore, Concept B is functionally the same as Concept A; however, we have removed two developments along Blaine Street and reduced the development along San Juan Avenue,” Jones said.

Jones noted common priorities based off the 14-month-long community discussion. Among them were permanent housing, family amenities, a restaurant, walking trails and bike paths, maintained legacy of both the golf course and the natural environment, a dog park, and the creation of a “third space” to celebrate community.

To accommodate these priorities, both concepts contain affordable housing developments along San Juan Avenue and Blaine Street. They also include a preserved driving range, a chipping green, and a putting green. Groundswell has expanded Kah Tai prairie by 200 percent and designed a bird blind. 1.24 miles of biking trails and 2.4 miles of walking trails are in place, with the intent to connect different neighborhoods. A dog park is designated near the intersection of San Juan Avenue and Blaine Street, with separate areas for both small dogs and big dogs.

Groundswell also included plans for a mini golf program — “a potential income generator” — a playground, and a community garden to accessorize the housing.

As for the housing: “We have the opportunity to build 64 to 145 units,” Jones said. These would likely be townhouses and apartment complexes.

To placate concerns on overall developmental cost, Jones announced that Groundswell has reduced it to $2 million.

The council spent the final part of the meeting discussing these concepts.

“We are not limited to Groundswell’s options,” Mayor David Faber reminded those present

“We must consider the quieter voices that may have not participated, namely children,” he added, acknowledging that the golf course is a “legacy project.”
