Hillside Estates Page 2 3/11/92 also discuss whether the bike lane and/or sidewalk should run all the way to Highway 169 passed the proposed commercial area . I personally feel that the trail system should go to Highway 169 in this location giving pedestrians and bicyclist a signalized crossing of the highway. NORTH/SOUTH TRAIL The developer is proposing that the north/south trail be located along the powerline easement identified on both the preliminary plat and the overall concept map. Staff agrees with this alignment, which would bring this trail approximately opposite the access into the City park in Deerfield 2nd Addition. This alignment also avoids the additional removal of trees to accomplish the trail, since the powerline has already made a gap through the woods . Staff also recommends that this trail terminate on the south end at 193rd Avenue, where it would pick up the east/west trail . Going further south past 193rd Avenue you run into a swamp. Still further south, past the southern boundary of the proposed plat, you would run into ownership problems . A north/south access from Deerfield 3rd Addition could possibly be a sidewalk along the proposed Carson Street . Staff recommends that the north/south trail is improved. I • personally feel that it should be a bituminous bike path, the first leg of which should be improved when the 2nd phase of the residential portion of Mr. Foster' s plat is developed. FUTURE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK On the overall sketch plan you will note the developer' s proposed location for the future neighborhood park. The developer is in negotiation with the owner of this property to purchase it. He does not, however, have control of the property at this time. You will have to decide whether or not to recommend this future neighborhood park be in either the first two residential phases or if it waits until future development allows for the park to be located as proposed by the developer. The proposed future park has a small pond on it that could be used for ice skating and has a hill that could possibly be used for a sliding area. This future park is also the proposed location of a future watertower and has a powerline running through it . A trail connection is proposed to be provided from the north/south trail to this proposed park area. Staff recommends that we collect park dedication fees for the first two phases of development and wait for a future development to locate the neighborhood park. • If possible, I would like the Park & Recreation Commission ' s comments the week of the 13th of April so that they can be added to the Council ' s preliminary plat review of this request on April 20 , 1992 . Thank you.
