The construction of Town Center Drive north of Bunker Lake Blvd is not scheduled until 2008, and no bonding has been initiated for this street.

The ~l'C-4a District requires 2 off-street parking spaces for each unit; the double garages and driveways provide 4 ofl~street parking spaces for each unit. The I'ark Comlnission reviewed the sketch plan on February 10.

There arc several easements within the proposed plat that must be vacated prior to recording of the plat; Staff' bas included this easement vacation as a condition of plat approval. Stormwater generated by the 8th, 9th, and l0th Additions cannot be fully accommodated on-site; part of the volume will be directed to the regional stormwater pond in Town Center West Park. Staff has reviewed calculations provided by the applicant; this increase in runoff will increase the area of the regional pond by 3.0 acre feet, raising the pond level approximately 0.1 feet. The proposed Landscaping Plan is generally acceptable with some minor modifications. No tree preservation plan is required as the site is void of trees. Thc Master Development Agreement for Town Center establishes that there are no park or trail fees due on this plat. However, there is a park payment obligation in the 1st Amendment to the Master Development Agreement that requires a cash payment, to the City, upon sale of the property in an amount equal to $750.00 times the number of eligible units on the property in accordance with the ×oning regulations. Final ly, Staff is still in the process of drafting a Development Contract for the 8th Addition. A copy will be available for Council review at the meeting.
