CASE <br /> <br />PARK DEDICATION FOR RIVENWlCK VILLAGE <br />By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer II and <br /> Mark Riverblood, Parks & Utilities Supe~wisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the November £ark and ]~ecreation Commission meeting, staff reviewed the sketch <br />plan for the proposed Town, home project known as Rivenwick lZillage. Of the larger <br />3]. 5-acre parcel, 26.5 acres are expected to consist of three different styles of <br />~o~4~nhomes. <br /> <br />The revised plat was submitted in February 2004, showing two styles of buildings. The <br />Planning Commission case is attached with the review process included performing a <br />traffic and noise analysis. The results of the noise study indicated a 15 foot high wall <br />would be required along Highway 10 to mitigate the noise below the State threshold. <br />Discussion is ongoing between the Developer, City, MnDOT and MPCA over <br />alternatives to the wall. <br /> <br />Observation: <br /> <br />As the Commission may recall, during the 2003 platting of Rivenwick 3rd addition, there <br />was consensus that improvements to the existing Riverdale Park should occur as soon as <br />possible to serve the new residents that this plat was bringing to the area. In addition to <br />the existing residential neighborhood, the townhomes mentioned above brought 112 more <br />units. Rivenwick Village is projected at approximately 192 additional units. <br /> <br />The purpose of this case is to consider what park improvements should be constructed, <br />and how those elements may be incorporated into Rivenwick Villages Development <br />Agreement to insure that the recreational needs of the larger neighborhood are met. <br /> <br />Attached is a draft Development Agreement for Commission review. This is provided <br />for discussion in anticipation of receipt of the Rivenwick 4th Preliminary Plat early in <br />2004. If the Commission recommends that Park Dedication be satisfied in a manner <br />similar to the attached draft document, staff can forward it to the Developer for their <br />reaction. In summary the previously identified improvements would consist of: <br /> <br />A bitmninous trail in the boulevard of Riverdale Park <br />from the self storage site, west then south along Riverdale Dr/ye, <br />and continuing parallel to Feldspar to the single family neighborhood <br />at the park's southwest comer. <br /> <br />$ 17,000 <br /> <br />· An ag lime infield and safety fences for the existing ballfield. <br /> <br />$12,000 <br /> <br /> <br />
