Agenda - Parks and Recreation Commission - 12/14/1989

Home

Mr. Ron Hetlund Page 2 Nove.mber 29, 1989 The total park land dedication as proposed to meet public needs is 10.1 acres (approximately 5% of the gross area). It is recommended that the narrow area along 47 be increased to 35' in width where possible. We also recommend that park land be dedicated along the south side of the entire segment of Trott Brook, not as it is currently proposed. The segment along Trott Brook should generally be a width of 100 to 125'. We also recommend that the westerly segment along Trott Brook be widened to 100-125' per our recommendation of October 2. We will have a layout at the Park Commission meeting for your review. The total park area which we recommend would be approximately 14.86 acres. No other areas indicated as "Park or Common Use" appear to be suited or desireable as park land. Our recommendation of 14.86 acres is 74% of the minimum 10% public park requirement. At $500 per unit, the total park dedication would be $39,500. The remaining 26% of the minimum requirement ($39,500 - 74%) would be $10,270. It is recommended that the remainder be accepted in cash rather than additional land area. As a P.U.D., the developer is required to provide a minimum of an additional 10% private or public recreation or open space. It appears that the developer meets these requirements with the proposed "common areas". If you have any questions in regard to the proposed development, let us know.
