The 2005 Park Dedication fee is $2,200.00 per unit. 'Frail Development and Trail Fees: The revised site plan shows a trail along 149th Avenue and along Ramsey Blvd. During sketch plan review, the City Council asked that a trail be installed along the southern edge of the wetland, connecting up to Street B. This trail should be shown on the revised site plan and preliminary plat. This portion of the plat (north of 147th Lane and west of the wetland) is not being final platted at this time; this connection will need to be provided when that portion of the plat is finalized. The 2005 Trail Fee is $550.00 per unit. Open Space: For PUDs, City Code requires a minimum of 20% public open space and/or 50% private open space. Private open space may include yard space, street boulevards, and other private common areas. The approved preliminary plat shows 15.15 acres (65%) of private open space in the PUD portion of the plat. The plat also includes several small-scale gathering spaces: on the southern edge of the wetland along 147th Lane and at the comer of 149th Ave and Ramsey Blvd. The submitted final plat conforms to the approved preliminary plat. It should be noted that there are no specific open space requirements for the TC-4a portion of the plat. On April 12, 2005 the City Council granted preliminary site plan approval to Town Center Gardens 3rd Addition contingent on submittal of corrected open space calculations for the plat. These have been submitted and have been verified by Staff.

The 2005 sewer and water trunk charge is $2,962.00 per unit. Landscaping Plan/Tree Preservation: Using the canopy Cover formula, the minimum required canopy cover for the site is 242,648 square feet. A combination of deciduous and coniferous overstory trees, ornamental trees, and shrubs are included in this plan totaling 260,909 square I'eet. The plantings along the streets consist of species that are considered to be moderately tolerant or tolerant of salt spray, All species are considered to be acceptable or preferred as outlined in the Ramsey Tree Book and the sizes all meet or exceed the minimum requirements.
