A bituminous trail will be required to be constructed along 161 st Avenue within the boundaries Lot 1, Block 1. A continuance of that trail will also be required from the westerly boundary of Lot 1 to the common boundary with Central Park to complete the pedestrian connection with Central Park. This segment of trail is considered temporary in nature because it lies within outlots that may be further developed in the future. Also, construction of a hard surface trail may unnecessarily impact trees at this point in time. - For these reasons, the temporary portion of the trail is approved for construction with a natural-material, such as mulch~ Also, it is the City's policy to require trail construction on both sides of MSA roads, and Variolite Street is an MSA road. However, due to the relative distance and cost associated with that portion of - trail on Variolite Street, staff would be comfortable simply requiring a trail easement until more use would be gained from trail construction. The Development Agreement for the Plat will require the easements for the trails on 161 st and on Variolite in separate, recordable documents as trails cannot be dedicated on plats. Park dedication is also due for Lot 1 of the plat; park dedication for outlots are satisfied when they are platted for development. The City desires land adjacent to Central Park to satisfy park dedication requirements. The Applicant also desires to satisfy park dedication requirements for the entire plat at this time. The church is considered a commercial use arid the land dedication is equal to 5% of the gross land area, or in this case 1.85 acres. The Applicants are proposing to deed Outlot A to the City which is 2 acres in size. In the event Outlot B is developed with a residential use at some point in the future, the commercial rate used at this time will have to be - reconciled with the density of residential units to be developed. Funding: The Applicants are responsible for all City costs incurred in processing the minor subdivision. Recommendation: The Planning Commission and City Staff recommend final plat approval. Council Action: Motion by Councilmember and seconded by Councilmember to adopt Resolution #08-09-_ granting final plat approval to Saint Katharine Drexel Catholic ChUrch contingent upon compiiance with City Staff Review Letter dated September 18, and the applicants entering into a development agreement with the City.
