Planning Commission to Review Davey Glen Park Design

The Planning Commission will review the proposed Davey Glen Park design on Tuesday night, but isn't expected to take any action on the matter.

An ad doc committee along with the Parks and Recreation Commission have been working with a landscape architect and city staff to develop the current conceptual design for the park, which will be located on Davey Glen Road, according to staff reports.

At a , the Commission discussed asking the City Council for more money to fund the creation of the park -- which is expected to cost $450,000 -- but ultimately decided to send the project to the Planning Commission for review instead.

At a later date, the Planning Commission will be asked to grant a Conditional Use Permit to allow further design of the park.

The ad hoc committee, created in March 2010 to develop a conceptual design for the park, has held more than a dozen meetings before coming up with the plan that features a level playing area for grassy picnics and throwing a ball, a playground, and a trail for quiet nature.

Though the project is anticipated to cost $450,000, Belmont hopes to gain $200,000 of that money from alternative sources including grants and donations.

The Planning Commission will meet at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in the Council Chambers at City Hall, located at 1 Twin Pines Lane.
