with a triangular rest stop in the stand of Oak along Industry Avenue. Potential property to be acquired by the developer is shown on Attachment "5B". At the time of this writing it is not certain what percentage the trail corridor is of the approximate 85-acre plat. It is important to ensure that enough cash is generated from Sketch H upon build-out to provide for the plats recreational needs. The 1996 cash conlribution rate for park dedication is expected to be $825 per dwelling unit in the urban area. Park dedication would calculate as follows: $825 x 160 units = $132.000, less land dedication. Approximately $40,000 would be a minimum for a playground with surfacing and another $20,000 may be credited to the developer for trail paving along the section line. Linkages outside the plat, including Alpine Park, picnic facilities and other much needed improvements to Peltzer park, could consume the balance of cash dedication. Tree conservation issues are typically dealt with at the time of Grading Plan approval. There may be significant opportunities to relocate trees prior to grading to screen the east and north lines. The north half of the east tine should be screened from the landfall and pending power line. Staff Recommendation: · Recommend the developer provide a I0 foot bituminous walkway from t49th Avenue south to the intersection of Industry Avenue and Ramsey Boulevard, Provide and construct a 35 foot trail link corridor from 149th Avenue south into the plat at Limonite Su-ee[ · Provide a suitable trail corridor along the east line from Industry Avenue to connect to Garnet Street. Pave this route to City standards as a Stage I improvement. Submit a grading plan identifying which trees (or stands) will be protecmd from development activities and which may be lost and resolve which trees may be relocated prior to disturbance. · Encourage builders to utilize tree save fences. Commission Action: Motion to recommend the developer incorporate the above recommendations into the subdivisi6n prior to a preliminary plat approval request of the Park and Recreation Commission. - or - Motion to recommend City Staff finalize the details above prior to preliminary plat approval by City Council.
