Memo to Mayor and City Council/P01-13 December 17, 2001 Page 4 The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that 10% of the gross area (including Kliever's Marsh) or approximately 7.4 acres of land be dedicated to meet the park dedication requirements. The City Attorney has indicated that the area of Kliever's Marsh can not be included when calculating the requirements for park dedication. The plat shows approximately 5.51 acres of land along the east shore of Kliever's Marsh dedicated as park. The total area of the plat, excluding Kliever's Marsh and Outlot E, is 63.73 acres. In order to meet the 10% of the gross area (excluding Kliever's Marsh and Outlot E) an additional .863 acres 07,592 square feet) is needed. The Park and Recreation Commission preferred that the additional land abut the proposed 5.51 acres in order to provide area for a neighborhood park. For instance, Lot 5, Block 3 could be eliminated and incorporated into Outlot A as parkland. A trail connection should also be provided between 176 TM Ct. and Outlot A. If the Council feels that the park as proposed is adequate, the additional .863 acres will be provided for in a cash dedication. The area shown as Outlot E has been excluded from the park dedication calculations. Park dedication for Outlot E will be obtained when this outlot is platted as a lot. Planning Commission Meetin~ At the Planning Commission meeting held on December 4th two residents spoke at the public hearing. Gordon Miers, property owner on the east side of Filmore Street, asked if this development would affect his conditional use permit to park a semi tracker and trailer on his property. It was explained that this project would not affect his conditional use permit. Bruce Goetz, resident on one of the 20 acre parcels directly north of this project, asked if he would be forced to connect to sewer and water and if a street would be built through his property. He was told that he would not have to hook up to sewer and water or be assessed for it prior to 2007 and that no street would be constructed through his property. The street will be built to his property line and he would be able to connect to it if he decides to develop his property. The Commission had a lengthy discussion regarding the proposed amendment to the land use plan. They discussed the timing of extending sewer and water and the rate of growth in the area. The Commission recommended approval of the land use plan amendment and the preliminary plat with a 3:2 vote. The two Commissioners voting to deny the requests felt that extending utilities to this area prior to 2007 would promote growth and there were enough platted residential lots for the next several years. Recommendation The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve Resolution No. -01 amending the Land Use Plan to provide sewer and water to this property prior to 2007 with the following findings: THE PARCEL IS CURRENTLY IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND WITHIN THE URBAN SERVICE DISTRICT; S:\PLANNING\SCOTTkP01-13 CC.DOC
