The landowner has responded to the offer <br />indicating a need for more-mot extremely higher--than what the City offered. Mr. Boos added the <br />monetary amount desired by the landowner is more than available park dedication monies. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson indicated primary issues discussed at the Council meting included waffle, density, <br />zoning, and relation of the Comprehensive Plan to development of Apple Ridge. He added not much <br />discussion occurred regarding park issues. Results of the Council meeting have included new <br />preliminary plat changes directly related to lots located adjacent to the east property (downscaling <br />of 12 lots to six lots). Originally, there were 179 lots proposed for development; now there are 140 <br />lots. Traffic pattern changes included creation of a through-street by block seven within the <br />subdivision (not through the subdivision) and elimination of one street area. Mr. Peterson indicated <br />a traffic management specialist will be conducting a study and present results accordingly. C. riven the <br />reduction of 39 lots for development, Mr. Peterson reiterated the des/re of Good Value Homes to <br />remit monies for park dedication versus land wkhin the subdivision. Mr. Boos reminded Commission <br />members there is still time for members to comment/make final recommendations since consideration <br />is still within the sketch plan phase. <br /> <br />Commission Member Asfahl arrived at the meeting at 6:18 p.m. <br /> <br />02 <br /> <br />Per Staff recommendation, discussion of park dectication for Sunflower Ridge (CASE #2) with the <br />developer prior to determination of park dedication for Apple Ridge transpired. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Case #2: Recommend park Dedication for Sunflower Ridge <br /> <br />Mr. John Peterson of Good Value Homes is proposing an urban subdivision of 44 single family homes <br />north of 153~ Avenue (per revised sketch completed on March 13, 1997) which would be known as <br />Sunflower Ridge. The 20-acre parcel is midway between Highway #47 and County Road #5 and is <br />w/thin the Oak Recreation District. Park dedication monies to be realized from development of <br />Sunflower Ridge would be $38,500 based on 44 lots ~ $875 per lot. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson informed Commission members he is prepared to approach property owners of land <br />located west of proposed Sunflower Ridge about purchasing six to nine acres for development of a <br />community/neighborhood park at an approximated cost of $60,000. Chair Cook confirmed purchase <br />of such land would serve as park dedication for Sunflower Ridge. Mr. Peterson noted the land is <br />located outs/de the MUSA whereas Sunflower Ridge would be located ,vithin the MUSA. Given this, <br />the land size would be three times that of MUSA land. He added this land would provide for a great <br />passive park with a wetland area and would have houses to the south and east; access would be off <br />of 153rd. <br /> <br />Chair Cook confirmed park dedication monies from Apple Ridge could be used for development of <br />land dedication from development of Sunflower Ridge. Mr. Boos responded development of <br />Sunflower Ridge is questionable given numerous issues including a moratorium. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/iV/arch 13, 1997 <br /> Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
