Case RECOMMENI) PARK DEDICATION FOR BUSINESS PARK 95 2ND ADDITION By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor Background: The City of Raml~ey is in the process of final platting the remainder of Business Park 95 Addition, plus some recentl~ acquired property to the east. The area to be platted is approximately 65.5 acres, and is proposed ~(:o be subdivided into six industrial lots for development, three outlots for future development, a d[alnage and utility outlot, and an outlot for possible future extension of McKinley street to the City'~ eastern boundary. Enclosed for your information is the Planning Commission case of April 2, 1996, with the site location map, proposed preliminary plat, and City Staff review letter. Observation: Staff is proposingithat park dedication be required for this plat at the time individual parcels develop at a rate of 5% of fair market value The platting of th~ Business Park to County Road #116, allows for an extension of the County Road #116 trail to the e~st from the existing terminus at Tungsten Street on the opposite side of the road. The proposed plan for the County Road #116 trail is to be located on the north side of #116 from County Road #56 lo Tungsten Street, then on the "Anoka" side from Tungsten to the Anoka Senior High School. It is recommended that the trail be constructed from Tungsten Street to Business Park 95's eastern plat boundary at t~ time of the McKinley Street extension this spring. (The ~ project, along with the associated lanOscaping, could be park dedication eligible as the City will not be contributing Transportation Impact Fees to itself as a developer unless the City requires impact fees from individual businesses as lots are purchased.) Also recommended is tree establishment south of #116 (along the path) ac[oss from the Emerald Pond Park wetland. The primary purpose is to protect the wetland vista fromI Emerald Pond Park when looking south. Commission ACtion: Motion to recommend City Council authorize construction of an eight-foot bituminous path across from Tungsten Str4et, east of the plat's boundary, with appropriate landscaping concurrent with the McKinley Street e~tension. - and - Motion to recomm~ nd City Council require park dedication for Business Park 95 2nd Addition at the rate in effect when ndividual development agreements are entered into.
