CASE # 1 <br /> <br />SKETCH PLAN REVIEW FOR MARIGOLD POND <br /> By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Oak. wood Land Development has submitted sketch plans for Marigold Pond. The site is located <br />ca.~t of itighway 47 at 160t~ Lane NW. This project will require a comprehensive plan <br />a~ncndment. The project is in the Rum River Recreation District. <br /> <br />Ohscrwttion: <br /> <br />Thc ,silo is 58 acres and 102 urban single family homes are proposed. Land only dedication <br />would require 5.8 acres. The site is immediately east of Elmcrest Park, however Highway 47 <br />separates this parcel from the park. The master trail plan shows a proposed trail along the <br />west side of Highway 47, no trails are shown on the east side of TH 47. Trail will be required <br />:.drmg th.e east side of TH 47 in accordance~· with the sidewalk and trail policy. Extension of <br />these trails would be required to provide access to the signalized intersection at Alpine Drive <br />or the fl~ture?ignalized intersection at 16~-a Aven~u~e NW. "? <br /> <br />Prc, ced¢~t has been to make the formal park dedication after the preliminary~ plat has been <br />submitted. This is defhfitely prudent at this stage since the plans are changing. <br /> <br />Staff Reco~nmendation: <br /> <br />The Cmnmission should bring forward their ideas for needed improvements in the Rum River <br />Recreation District so that they can be given tO the developer for inclusion in the plans. Staff <br />recommends parkland be dedicated in this development so that some recreational opportunities <br />are provided without the need to cross TH 47. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />A ss i staint Director Public Works/Principal Engineer <br />· P[~ rks/Ut: l ities Supervisor <br /> <br />Copies to: · <br />Oakqvood Land Development <br /> <br />P&R: 05112/05 <br /> <br /> <br />
