PACT Charter School - Site Plan September 12, 2003, Revised September 19, 2003 Page 7 of 8 School's use of the Park. It appears that the school plans on using the land on a daily basis for physical education classes and after-school sports. At this time, the City is unsure on the desirability of accepting this land as a City Park due to the heavy use by the school. The Parks and Recreation Commission has begun discussion of the status of the Park and will be making a recommendation to the City Council. Park Dedication Fees: The Plat is located in the Greenland Hills District. Park dedication requirements shall be satisfied by a cash payment in the amount of $23,304.00. This mount is calculated from a $2.00 per square foot value of 5% of the total land area. This payment shall be made to the City prior to the release of the building permit. Trail Development Fees: The City Council has established a trail .development fee in the amount of One Hundred DOllars and no cents ($100.00) per acre. The amount of trail fees due on the Site Plan is $535.00 ($100 x 5.35 acres). It is the City's understanding that the trail along Ramsey Blvd. will be constructed as part of the improvements that will take place as part of the overall development of the Ramsey Town Center. It is anticipated that the trail will be located in the right-of-way. If, due to the road improvements, no room is left for a trail corridor, the City will require a 15-foot trail easement along the eastern property line be given to the City. Development Agreement: As part of the approval by City Council, the applicant will .need to enter into a development agreement with City. This agreement, among other things, will incorporate relevant items from the Master Development Agreement with Ramsey Town Center LLC that will 'be obligations for the PACT Charter School. The Development Agreement will also enumerate the financial sureties needed by the City t6 allow construction of the project. The Development Agreement is still being drafted and will be given to you and the City Council at the meeting on September 23, 2003. Commencement of Construction: As is apparent from the review of the Site Plan, many of the tools governing the development of' the Town Center have not been implemented.. At a minimum, the following things must occur prior to the City releasing a grading, footings and foundation permit as allowed under the Town Center Master Development Agreement: Final Plat approval of Town Center, Ramsey Town Center LLC and the City entering into a Development Agreement, the City and PACT Charter School entering into a Development Agreement, and the appropriate securities and fees have been paid. For additional work to commence, the Town Center Zoning District must be approved, the Town Center Development Guidelines adopted, and the Conditional Use Permit approved by the City. Further review of the site plan may be required if these documents change substantially. The City Council will be meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 at Ramsey Fire Station, 15050 Armstrong Blvd., to review the proposed site plan.
