()bservations: ()n Februar,, 7. 1990. the City received an application for the Wood Pond Hills subdivision. On March 6, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the sketch plan for Wood Pond Hills. At that time, the recommendation was for the developer to proceed to preliminaD' plat stage. On March 15, 1990, the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the plat for park dedication requirements. At that time, the recommendation was for a combination of trail land and cash. On September 17, 1991, the developer submitted a preliminary plat for approval. On October 10, 1991, the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the proposed preliminary plat for Wood Pond Hills. The developer had requested additional park dedication credit in lieu of the amount of dedicated open space on the property. The consensus was that park dedication would consist of a combination of land for a trail corridor and cash. It was also determined that Sunfish Lake Drive would be designated as a bicycle route. The alignment of the trail corridor was tabled until the November, 1991 meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission. On November 5, 1991, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding the proposed plat of Wood Pond Hills. The Commission tabled action on the plat until after the Park and Recreation Commission made a recommendation on the trail corridor alignment and the alignment of Sunfish Lake Drive in the northwest comer of the plat was resolved with DNR. (DNR expressed concern regarding whether or not there is public need for the extension of Sunfish Lake Drive. Tom Hovey of DNR also made verbal comments that if Sunfish Lake Drive is constructed, it should be realigned slightly to minimize impact on Wetland 2-114P.) On November 12, 1991, City Engineer Jankowski wrote a letter to DNR requesting concurrence with a proposed realignment of Sunfish Lake Drive to reduce impact on Wetland 2-114P and the public need for the extension Sunfish Lake Drive. On November 14, 1991, the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the plat of Wood Pond Hills for trail corridor alignment. The recommendation was that the developer should provide a 35 foot wide trail corridor, and that 15 feet of the 35 foot width must be above the ordinary high water mark (858.1'). The Commission also determined that the developer would receive park dedication credit for only the amount of land given for trail purposes; the balance of park dedication due would be satisified with cash. On December 3, 1991, the City received a revised grading and drainage plan from the developer which realigned Sunfish Lake Drive in accordance with the City Engineer's letter to DNR dated November 12, 1991. The grading and drainage plan also indicated a trail corridor in accordance with the November 14 recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission. On December 3, 1991, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the revised grading and drainage plan received on December 3 and recommended preliminary plat approval of Wood Pond Hills contingent upon the preliminary, plat also being amended to reflect the proposed trail corridor and realignment of Sunfish Lake Drive. At that meeting, City Staff recommended that the section of trail in the northwest comer of the plat be provided for in the road right-of-way versus a strip of land running parallel to Sunfish Lake Drive.
