The preliminary utility plan is generaily acceptable, however, a detailed construction plan will be required and subject to the approval of the City Engineers. In addition, it should be noted that the water main will be required to be looped to the south as this wilI provide significant benefit to both the subject development and Lord of Life Church's proposed senior housing project. Discussions should be initiated with Lord of Life Church to facilitate this loopiong. Park Dedication: The preliminary plat is proposing to dedicated 1.05-acre park and the balance of Park Dedication will consist of a cash payment of $27,300 dollars. The Park Dedication cash payment reflects the 2001 rates. The plat will be subject to the fees in place when the development receives final plat approval Park Trail Development Fee: The preliminary plat is proposing an eight foot bituminous trail along the southern and eastern boundary line. During the sketch, plan review of Birch Hill Lodges, the Planning Commission recommended that a trail be constructed along the southern boundary line and connect to the proposed sidewalk along Cobalt Street. The preliminary plat is showing a trail running north and south and a trail running east and west.. It is Staff's understanding that the trail running north and south was left in by error. The preliminary plat should be revised accordingly. The City has also enacted a trail development fee. The current rate is $325.00 per lot. The rate in effect at the time of final plat approval will be used. -166- I I I I I I i' I I I I I I I I I I I I
