Park dedication will consist of trail link between Lot 9, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2 to connect 148th Avenue with 149th Avenue, and trail corridor along the east plat line to connect C.S.A.H. #116 with Garnet Street and the park in Peltzer Addition to the north. To provide for sufficient high ground for this trail on the east plat line, it is necessary for the trail to briefly meander onto Waste Management's property to the east. In the event this is not possible, an alternate in-plat link between Lots 35 and 36 of Block 3 is proposed to provide for an uninterrupted north/south trail. A southeasterly extension off of the 145th Avenue cul-de-sac is also proposed to allow pedestrians the opportunity to follow 145th Avenue east to the trail rather than travelling south down Hematite Street and southeast along #116 to go north on the trail. This southeasterly trail extension off of 145th is shown as a park and utility easement. It should be designated as Park because the City can put drainage and utility improvements in a park but it cannot put a park in a drainage and utility easement. If the need for the northeast trail extension off of 145th is not resolved by the time the plat is recorded, it should be designated as an outlot for possible future conveyance back to Lot 35. The Developer is also being required to install pedestrian paths from Hematite Street southeast to the plat boundary and along County Road #56. The cost of installation of the path past the 'exception' on C.S.A.H. #56 will be eligible for reimbursement from the City. It has been the City's policy to require that wetlands be designated on the plat as drainage and utility easements. The final plat should dedicate all area inside the ordinary high water mark as drainage and utility easement. The entire area east of the ordinary high water mark in the northeast comer of the plat should be designated as park. The balance of park dedication would be satisfied with a cash payment. A Grading and Drainage Plan and a Tree Preservation Plan have been submitted and are generally acceptable.
