Home

• Timing:Based on the time of year, and need to get trunk utilities (sewer and water) to the Subject Properties, it is very unlikely there will be any homes built onsite this year. There may be some preliminary grading (moving dirt) on the Subject Properties this year. Platting Process 1. Sketch Plan-Identify red flags and direct the Applicant on moving forward to Preliminary Plat 2.Preliminary Plat-Engineering documents,formal public hearing, if approved, the project has entitlement (we are here) 3.Final Plat- Construction documents and legal agreements, only heard by City Council" For many years, the City has contemplated a sixth community park in this north-central part of the community,that would also serve neighborhood park needs for this proposed subdivision, and others near it. Last year,the Park and Recreation Commission reviewed a concept plan for the adjoining Makowsky property, and recommended at such time as that property would develop,that Park Dedication be satisfied by the dedication of land and the farmstead as the sixth community park. The City is currently working with a developer and anticipates a subdivision application for the approximately 160 acre Makowsky property in 2021. Because it appears that park land will be acquired in the vicinity of the proposed North Brook Meadows, and that the new elementary school to the south and east has playfields and a playground, Staff is recommending Park Dedication and Trail Fees be satisfied by cash—and that trails and sidewalks provide the connection to parks for the new neighborhood. (The trails identified within the Planning Commission case are basic infrastructure requirements along arterial roadways, and consistent with the City's two-decade old policy, are not eligible for credit from Trail Fees.) Funding Source: The Applicant is responsible for all costs associated with review. Recommendation: Staff recommends Park Dedication and Trail Fees be satisfied by cash, according to the City's rates charges schedule,based upon the number of units at the time of Final Plat approval. Action: Motion to Recommend to City Council that Park Dedication and Trail Fees be satisfied by cash, for the North Brook Meadows subdivision.
