CASE FAYE ADDITION SKETCH PLAN PARK DEDiCATiON REVIEW By: Merland Otto Background: At your November 8th meeting, the Commission reviewed and rejected a proposed trail alignment through Faye Addition. The Commission further recommended two options to explore for trail alignment but did not limit the Applicant to those options. Mr. Chapman has proposed an alternative alignment and outlines his reasoning in the attached letter. If the alignment is approved, none of the trail right-of-way adjoining street right-of-way would be eligible for park dedication credit. The direction given to Mr. Chapman was that he should seek to remove the trail from the road right-of-way and try to reduce the number of street crossings. The proposal is an improvement over the previous proposal with approximately half of the alignment being located off road. observations: The Applicant correctly points out that two of the street crossings would be at cul-de-sacs and the crossing at 137th may be at a controlled intersection. The proposal sets up a diagonal crossing at the intersection of 137th and the residential collector which is undesirable. Approximately half of the trail alignment is situated along street right-of-way. At this point, the total dedication proposed and eligible for parks would be 4.17 acres open space and 0.51 acres for trail (total of 4.68 acres). Total park dedication required is 7.62 acres. staff Recommendation: The proposal does not meet the directives of the November Commission meeting and thus would appear to be unacceptable. Commission Action: Motion to recommend approval/denial of proposed park dedication for Faye Addition. Checklist: Zoning Administrator city Engineer PARKS: 12/13/90
