CASE #3 SKETCH PLAN REVIEW FOR MARIGOLD POND By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer Background: Oakwood Land Development has submitted Preliminary Plat plans for Marigold Pond. The project was discussed at the June 2, 2005 Planning Commission meeting. The site is located cast of llighway 47 at 160'h Lane NW. This project will require a comprehensive plan amet~dtnmm The project is in the Rum River Recreation District. Observation: The site is 58 acres and 102 urban single family homes are proposed. Land only dedication would require 5.8 acres. The site is immediately east of Elmcrest Park, however Highway 47 separates this parcel from the park. The master trail plan shows a proposed trail along the west side of Highway 47, no trails are shown on the east side of TH 47. Trail will be required along the east side of TH 47 in accordance with the sidewalk and trail policy. Extension of these trails would be required to provide access to the signalized intersection at Alpine Drive or thc future signalized intersection at 167m Avenue NW. Staff Recommendation: Stall' recommends continuing to work with the developer to explore options for connecting this development to Elmcrest Park and the trails on the west side of Hwy 47. One option that has been mentioned is placing an underpass in the north west corner of the site. Park dedication should be accepted in cash for all the lots, this would be reduced by any land dedication proposed in future revisions of the plat. Trail dedication should be in cash with credit for portions of the trail constructed outside the plat. Commission Action: Motio~ to accept park dedication in cash. Motion to accept trail fees in cash. Reviewed by: Assistant Director Public Works/Principal Engineer Parks/Utilities Supervisor Copies to: Oakwood Land Development P&R: 06/09/05
