Case #5 DETERMINE PARK DEDICATION FOR SKETCH H, A.K.A. TILLER PROPERTY By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor Background: Good Value Hom~s is requesting sketch plan review of the property northeast of Industry Avenue and Ramsey Boulevard. The approximate 85-acre parcel is proposed to be subdivided into about 160 urban single family homes. The attached Plar~ ing Commission Case describes zoning issues and the possible inclusion of the two parcels to the iextreme southwest of the plat. Also included within that case are the following: · Site location map ProposeJ[l sketch plan i Anoka ~.(~unty Highway Department review City Staff review letter Marble ex:marion District Map ~ Attachrn~nt 5A · Attachrr~ent 5B Observation: Because this is a Sketch plan and many details are unknown, the Park and Recreation Commission may provide Park, dedication recommendations and require re-review prior to preliminary plat approval. The 160 new ho~es could be expected to contain approximately 528 people with about 208 of those under the age of 18. Recreation and open spaces'in the Marble Recreation District include Peltzer Park, Alpihe Park and the 27-acre wetland area south of County Road gl 16 (east of Anoka Electric Cooperatives A.E.C. Building). Peltzer Park, wi~ improvements, could be near enough to meet playground needs. Alpine Park, when developed, icould provide the active recreation needs and, as a community park, serve as a family destinatiorl. The A.E.C. wetland will, undoubtedly, be a popular walking route. As has been the case witll all recent developments, the developers will be required to pave an "on-road B" walkway along al! collector and arterial streets to the property's limits (or beyond). The developer, John Peterson of Good Value Homes, has been informed by City Staff that the above park destinl~tions (if developed) may be adequate to meet the needs of Sketch H's residents if non-motorized Means to reach them are in place. In addition, Staff has suggested that an "on- road B" trail may not be required along Indus, ,tr, y__ Avenue if such a facility is developed from Ramsey Boulev~d to Sunwood Drive on A.E.C. s side. The developers sketch acknowledges three routes to Peltzer Park with the 3rd also providing access to Alpine!Park from the Center of the Marble District. These routes are shown on Attachment "5A". Viewers of the skbtch plan will note two dark lines indicating general bituminous path alignments. The first existing ion Limonite Street near the Tom Thumb store. The other, at the section line extending from Iddustry Avenue to the northeast comer of the plat. Waste Managemegt has been contacted to see if property could be acquired adjacent to the Garnet Street cul-de-sac ~d also to skin the wetland further south. If this is not possible, alternatives exist. The above inentioned trail route is identified on the Commission's Park and Trail Plan along
