• Commission had envisioned a trail corridor following the powerline corridor connecting Hillside Estates 5th Addition Park to 197th Avenue. When studying the concept plans with the developer, staff conceded that the area north of 196th Lane contained difficult terrain and that a paved trail in that area would be most difficult to construct. At that time, Staff requested that the paved trail be extend up the powerline corridor to the proposed 196th Lane, and from there a sidewalk would be constructed to carry pedestrians west to the commercial area on Highway 169 (see attached trail and sidewalk plan). After further analysis of the trail corridor, staff believes a paved trail can feasibly be extended to the proposed 196th Lane without exceeding an 8% trail grade and 3:1 side slopes. Staff believes constructing a paved trail northwest of 196th Lane would require excessive filling and grading. A wood chip trail would be more appropriate in this area that extends to the northwest corner of the plat. Sidewalks Upon inspection of the overall development site, staff found several well-worn trails through the woods that connect the existing residential areas to the commercial areas on Highway 169. Staff is recommending that sidewalks be 411/ constructed along the two main east-west roads and that a connection between Coburns and Goodwill/Sherwin Williams be constructed when phase II of Goodwill/Sherwin Williams is constructed. Hillside 5th Addition Park If the Commission accepts this park concept, the Hillside 5th Addition Park concept will need to be revised. Many of the amenities being proposed are redundant with those proposed for the 5th Addition Park. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend that the Planning Commission and City Council accept the proposed park with the following conditions: 1. THAT LOT 1,BLOCK 5,BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PARK. 2. THAT A PAVED TRAIL BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE POWERLINE CORRIDOR AS FAR AS 196TH LANE THAT HAS A MAXIMUM GRADE OF 8% AND SIDE SLOPES NO GREATER THAN 3:1. • 3. THAT SIDEWALKS BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PLAT TO CONNECT THE PARK AND TRAILS TO THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO THE WEST.
