COMMISSIONER EK SECONDED THE MOTION.THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 9.B.5. Preliminary Plat—Twin Lakes Crossing (Becker Property). Case No. P 02-05 The subject property for the proposed subdivision is located south of County Road 13 at the Tyler Street intersection, north of Trout Brook Farms. It totals 109.49 acres of which 37.30 acres are wetland. The property is currently a farmstead with an existing single-family home and assorted agricultural buildings. The proposed subdivision will be comprised of 286 lots; both single-family and townhome lots. It is proposed that Oudot A, 4.46 acres located in the southeast corner of the site adjacent to the City's Outlok K,Trott Brook Farms, be used for park purposes with the remainder of the amount taken in cash dedication. The 4.46 acres would be approximately 41% of the amount allowed by statute with the remaining 59% being accepted as cash dedication ($259,859.60). Staff recommends that if the Commission finds the land acceptable that the Commission recommend a split land and cash dedication. The Commission was concerned that some of the multi-family units in the middle would not be served by the park since the 4.46 acres is located at the far end of the property. It was discussed that the Commission may want to see a total land dedication or a larger land dedication than the 4.46 acres. Doc Bauman,Vice President of Tollefson Development, was in attendance. Doc stated that he is purchasing approximately 100 acres rather than the 109.49 stated. Mr. & Mrs. Becker will continue to live on the little over time acres remaining. Mr. Bauman also stated that if the Commission recommends land dedication for the entire 10% allowed, that the project would fall apart. Mr. Bauman would like to do 4.46 acres of land with the remaining in cash dedication. Doc also suggested that he could add some tot lots to the multi-family open spaces that would be more centrally located.
