Commons Park Mediation Agreement
Background
In 2025, Stephen Britven, Lynn Britven and Jill Hirn filed suit against the City regarding planned
modifications to Commons Park located immediately south of their properties. The dispute centered on
the City's proposal to expand the north parking lot, add nine parking spaces, construct a vehicle
turnaround area and remove existing trees within the disputed area.
Staff will review the agreement with the Council.
