Absent: None. <br />5.02: Recommend Park Dedication and Trail Fees for the Proposed Lynwood Subdivision <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that staff is recommending that <br />Park and Trail dedication be satisfied by cash for this development. He stated that the Applicant <br />is proposing a 34-acre residential subdivision that includes a mix of single family lots in the <br />northwestern portion and attached townhomes in the remainder of the Subject Property. The single <br />family residential portion would have a density of three units per acre and the attached townhome <br />portion would have a density of approximately six units per acre— which is less than the overall <br />density the property is zoned for. He stated that this area is well served by parks and trails already <br />in existence, therefore staff recommends cash in lieu to satisfy park dedication and trail fees. He <br />reviewed the Park Dedication and Trail Fee calculations. <br />Commissioner Sis asked if each townhome building would be considered a lot. <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Mark Riverblood clarified that each dwelling unit <br />is considered a "lot" for the purposes of Park Dedication. <br />Motion by Commissioner Barten, seconded by Commissioner Lestico to recommend to the City <br />Council that Park Dedication and Trail Fees be satisfied by cash together with a trail easement at <br />the south of the Lynwood Subdivision for the future construction of a portion of the Circle of <br />Ramsey. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chair Bennett; Commissioners Barten, Leistico, Loss, Olson, Sis, and <br />Walker. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />6. COMMISSION/STAFF INPUT <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood summarized some of the recreation <br />programming occurring and the upcoming Happy Days festival. He also reviewed the request by <br />a resident to designate the new portion of the off -leash area at Alpine Park as a small dog area. <br />Riverblood reminded the Commission that the new expansion was at the request of a different <br />resident who proposed it such that people can separate themselves and dogs from more <br />rambunctious dogs, without regard to size. Commissioner Loss stated he was a regular dog park <br />user, and at Coon Rapids he regularly sees small dogs in the large dog area. <br />7.
