Memo to Park and Recreation Commission/P 01-14 <br /> • <br /> August 8,2001 <br /> Page 2 <br /> No parks are proposed as part of this subdivision. The Commission could request 4.1 acres <br /> of park or accept$257,250 in cash dedication. At a minimum,staff would recommend the <br /> following additions to the plat: <br /> 1. Provide sidewalks along Street B and Street A,as there are trails and/or sidewalks <br /> along Tyler Street and County Road 12. <br /> 2. Provide a 50-foot trail connection to Hillside City Park located to the east. Staff <br /> suggests the best location for the trail connection would be along the south property <br /> line, as the overhead power line corridor is located adjacent to the south property <br /> line and would provide further access to Hillside City Park. <br /> A "neighborhood" park on this site may not be necessary due to the presence of Hillside <br /> City Park. While over 6 miles of mountain bike trails have been constructed through the <br /> park, there is ample area (450'x 350') in the south half of the park to install playground <br /> equipment,etc. The addition of a picnic shelter would enhance not only the neighborhood <br /> experience but also that of the mountain bikers. An infusion of cash into the park <br /> dedication fund would help develop parks in other neighborhoods in the City. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Commission accept cash dedication for the preliminary plat of <br /> Trott Brook South. <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PARKNREC\TrottBrookSouth.doc <br />
