-68. All of the drainage and utility easements are being provided in accordance with City Code and the approved grading plan as it affects this area of the plat. The final Grading Plan needs to be modified to state that elevation certificates prepared by a registered land surveyor are required at the footing inspection, that a certificate of grading will be required prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy for lots that have grades less than 2%, and that there will be the addition of one tree to each lot. As a result of several meetings with the Park Commission, a very in-depth park dedication agreement has been drafted that addresses the entire 74 acres as reflected in the approved preliminary plat. A portion of the Park dedication will consist of land dedications to expand Woodland Green and Bear Parks and provide trail connections to the unnamed park to the north and Bear Park. The remaining park dedication due wilt consist of park improvements to Woodland Green and Bear Parks equal to a cash value of $124,500.00. The parking improvements include grading and turfing the expansion to Woodland Green Park, installing a play structure and parking lot in Woodland Green Park, providing 6 inch water service to Woodland Green and Bear Parks, and sewer service to Woodland Green Park. Remaining park dedication funds will be considered for additional miscellaneous improvements at Woodland Green and Bear Parks. The development agreement for this first phase also addresses the trail plan for the entire 74 acres. Sidewalks will be constructed on one side of all non cul-de-sac streets. Trail connections are proposed to and through'Bear Park to the east all the way to Roanoke Street, through the unamed park lot to the north to 156~' Lane, and along the north side of Alpine Drive from Hwy. #47 to Roanoke Street. The exact alignment of the trail from the east terminus of 155t~ Lane, through Bear Park to Roanoke Street is undetermined at this time and will be addressed during the final plat of the applicable phase. There is a sewer and water development fee of $284,798.00 (157 units x $1,814/unit) due on the ultimate plat as reflected in the approved preliminary plat. The City has requested the on site sewer be lowered to accommodate expansion in the future. The cost of this work is estimated at $68,000. The Developer has proposed that the remaining $216,798 be used for off-site sewer and water improvements required to provide sewer and water to the site. These improvements are estimated at Two Hundred and Fifty Five Thousand Dollars ($255,000.00). Since the costs for the improvements exceed the Sewer and Water Trunk Fee, there shall be no trunk fees collected as part of this Development. There is. a stormwater management fee of Twenty One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars and no cents ($21,750.00) (58 units x $375/unit) due on the frrst phase °fthis development. Preliminary Plat approval was contingent upon addressing the drainage outlet to the north. The Developer shall install an outlet from Woodland Green Park to the unnamed park at the north end of the Plat, adjacent to 156~ Lane N.W. The estimated cost of this improvement is Eighty One Thousand Dollars and no cents ($81,000.00). The Developer shall be responsible for this cost and any other requirement of the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization. I I I I I i' I' i I I' I I i i i I I
