Sweetgrass community park land dedication
Summary
Residents have waited roughly a decade for the promised Sweetgrass park. The approved PUD amendment splits the planned 66-68 acres into a 45-acre city park and about 28 acres restricted to recreation use, possibly privately developed — which some residents and Council Member Aldrich called a continued 'bait and switch.'

Impact analysis
A Sweetgrass park-improvement fund from the annexation agreement will help pay for improvements; the city faces development costs for the 45-acre park.
Sweetgrass residents finally get a dedicated city park parcel, though development timing is uncertain.
Residents who expected the full 66+ acres as public parkland may see roughly 28 acres go to private recreation with possible fees.
