Background: DISCUSS LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY PROJECT By: Amber G. Miller, Planning Manager Mark Riverblood, Parks Supervisor CASE #1 Columbo Limited Partnership has applied for a major plat and request for site plan review for a new K -12 private school generally located generally located west of Armstrong Blvd, south of Alpine Dr and north of the railroad tracks. The Project includes a major subdivision within the Pine Shadows Addition to accommodate a future 225,000- 275,000 square foot school. The Subject Property is 184.91 acres and is currently Zoned R -1 Residential, R -2 Residential, R -3 Residential and TC -2 Sub - District. The proposed plat would create one (1) buildable lot (Lot 1 Alpha Development) that is 96.087 acres in size and two outlots that are 35 acres and 45.196 acres in size. Additionally, there will be 8.635 acres of Right -of -Way. The site proposes two accesses from an extension of Bunker Lake Blvd. as a local street within a proposed 120 foot right -of -way. Upon development, Outlot A would access an improved Puma St. and Alpine Dr. and Outlot B would access from the extended Bunker Lake Blvd. and potentially an improved Puma St. Full build out of Bunker Lake Blvd it is planned as a four lane road with two lanes in each direction. A first phase is being proposed to construct one lane in each direction, cul -de -sac terminating just west of the softball fields. Consistent with the City's comprehensive trail plan and 2030 Comprehensive Plan, an off road trail easement is shown on the northern edge of the wetland on Lot 1 and the southern edge of Outlot A. However, as the easement is proposed as 10 feet and Staff would like this easement to be a minimum of 20 feet (possibly up to 35 feet) and requests the trail to be built with the proposed improvements, which construction costs could be credited against the required trail development fees. Further, additional trail easements would be required along the east side of Lot 1 so that a continuous route is maintained through the site from Puma /Alpine to Bunker /Armstrong. In addition, the Applicant proposes a trail on the north side of Bunker Lake Blvd to Puma St and then north to Outlot A along Puma Street. The School has specifically requested that the trail site through the wetland area not be immediately adjacent to their site for security purposes of the play areas for the children. Observations: The School has discussed some type of shared use agreement with Staff for the utilization of their facilities. To date, Staff has not received a quantitative analysis of what that would be. For your consideration, the following are options related to Park Dedication and Trail Fees. 2010 Commercial Park Dedication Land Dedication 5% 2010 Commercial Park Dedication Cash Contribution $4,738 per acre 2010 Commercial Trail Fees $1,090 per acre
