Case #2: Recommend Park Dedication for Centex Addition Parks/Utilities Supe~wisor Boos stated that on Tuesday, May 1, 2001 the Planning Comrrfission received a sketch plan for the Centex Addition. The Commission recommended that the applicant proceed to the preliminary plat stage consistent with the staff review letter. The Park Commissions Park and Trail Plan shows proposed park dedication relating to this plat as well as the connection of Woodland Green and Bear Parks. The Plan also demonstrates a connection to the unnamed park at the extreme north side of the plat, which could ultimately connect to the Rum River to the northeast. In review of the sketch plan dated April 1'0, 2001, the following items were noted by staff: · The proposed expansion to Woodland Green is 2.78 acres or 37 Percent of the park dedication due. · The rematmn~ cash due would be · The "!ink': to Bear Park is not included in the two computations aboYe, as it does not meet the CiS' standard _35 foot urban trail corridor width..The Commission Should specify if a five foot su~ace is adequate in that location. (Existing park maintenance equipment Mil not fit on a five foot sidewalk). · Regarding sidewalks, the location should be shined to the north side of 155~ Lane NW (to be within the park and e,,Xend to the next lot). The same is recommended on Yakima Street w/thin the proposed park. On 'ik2dmo Street the sidewalk should be on the west side. This will allow an additional 17 lots to access the sidewalk without crossing the su'eet versus the east side. Sidewalks should be extended to the plat boundary on the connecting streets to Ute and Waco. · Some consideration should be given for a corridor between lots 5 through 9 to connect existing park to the proposed plat. Even if there is not an immediate need for hard surface trail or maintenance access, it adds more green space to the inter/or of the Centex Addition. · CiD' water should be stubbed out to both Woodland Green and Bear Parks. Samtary sewer should be stubbed to Woodland Green which may already be provided for it the park is being proposed for siting a sanitary lift station. ' · Municipal watermain will need to be constructed from the vicinitY, of Barium Street to the west, along 153~ Avenue to Ute S~eet east of the plat. Am 8 foot or 10 foot bituminous trail should be constructed as part of the 153r~ Avenue restoration. The Commission should note r. hat the CiD' has an additional right-of-way east of the proposed plat for trail purposes to connect to Roanoke Street. This should also be built as a Stage One Improvement within the f~rst phase. Parkland is in place to connect to the R. um Privet if this mail brings residents to the stop sign at the intersection of Roanoke Street and 153~ Avenue. · If all 157 lots are approved, $51,025 in mail fees would be due. This amount ma), be credited to any *.rail constructed outside of the plat limits: The u-ail fee would be in excess of the amount needed ro build the approximately 3,100 feet not within the plat along 153r~ Avenue. · The developer wilt be required ro plant an equivalent of one ~ree per 25 feet of Centex's fi.outage along !53r~ Avenue. The trail fee "overage" could be applied to boulevard trees along the U'ail to the west, which would also attempt to replace the mature trees that would be removed for the wamrrnains construction.
