Park dedication will be satisfied through a cash payment. A portion of the park dedication fees collected will be utilized to improve the existing Riverdale Park located immediately adjacent to the subject property. The Park and Recreation Commission is recommending the developer install an 8 fbot bituminous trail along the south side of Riverdale Drive within the public right of way. An 8 foot bituminous trail along the north side of Riverdale Drive was approved as part of the platting of Rivenwick 3rd Addition located immediately south of the subject project. The Park and Recreation Commission is recommending that the 8-foot bituminous trail along the north side of Riverdale Drive be extended to the intersection of Ramsey Blvd, and Highway 10 as part of the development of Rivenwick Village. During the Park and Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission discussed the possibility of working with the developer to provide overflow parking within the development during events held at Riverdale Park. Due to the configuration of the development and the way the unit's function, this will not be a possibility. Engineering and the LRRWO have stated some concern regarding the ponding configuration within the development. Staff and the developer are working diligently to resolve the concerns prior to City Council review of the preliminary plat. The Planning Commission held a public heating and reviewed the preliminary plat at their March 11,2004 meeting. Recommendation: The preliminary plat and site plan are proposing a unique residential development with a variety of town house and condominium units. Staff and the developer have been diligently working together to create a plat that provides for a good street network system while still allowing for the intricate residential development design that is trying to be achieved. The Planning Commission recommended approval of Rivenwick 4th Addition contingent upon the Staff Review Letter dated March 5, 2004, revised April 9, 2004 and include language in the Development Agreement stating that the remaining property zoned MU-PUD will include commercial development and will not be maximized with residential uses. As previously noted, this case addresses requirements for both the preliminary plat and site plan. The sections of the review letter that are related to the preliminary plat are: zoning, density, street layout and access, easements, grading and drainage plan, park dedication, and trail development. The requested setback deviations, architectural standards, landscaping, and noise mitigation are related to site plan requirements. Council Action: Motion to adopt resolution # approving the preliminary plat of Rivenwick 4th Addition noting the approved deviations and contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated March 5, 2004, revised April 9, 2004. -or- Motion to deny the preliminary plat of Rivenwick 4th Addition.
