Michelle Arnold perceived that the Parking Project is evolving into Site
Improvements and not the original intent.
Discussion ensued and it was determined the existing parking is in the
ROW and an Easement would be required for the modification.
George Wildey stated that the Resident concern is the number of
available spaces to park (4 spaces are preferred) and not that it was
parallel parking.
Kenneth Bloom expressed the following concerning additional
modifications to the parking:
o He approves of the proposed Parking Design
o The MSTU would incur additional Design fees
o An additional Easement is required
Michelle Arnold summarized the input expressed by the Home Owners at
the Woodshire meeting:
o They were amicable on relocating the parking spaces at the
pool
o Contribution Funds were not available for Easements (by
Property Owners)
o Comments on the North parking spaces
- Property Owners were indifferent on the parking spaces
as they are located in the County ROW
- Very Few individuals use the parking spaces
- Property Owners were advised that the number of
parking spaces may be reduced due to limited ROW
- The concept of reduced parking spaces was not rejected
by Property Owners
o Subsequently the Design Plan was prepared
o The MSTU Committee approved the Design
o The Parking Project benefits (1) Community in the Forest Lakes
Development
Kenneth Bloom stated the MSTU is fiscally responsible for the entire
Forest Lakes Community. He suggested tabling the item until the entire
MSTU Board is present (January meeting.)
Michelle Arnold suggested the following to avoid Site Improvements:
o Add(1) parallel space to the proposed parking
o Add (1) space to the pool area parking
3

lieu of the proposed (5)
