Memo tothe Mayorand City Council/P00-6 June 14, 2000 Page 4 Tree Preservation As discussed earlier, impact to trees on the site will be minimal due to the proposed limits of grading. Trees at the limits of grading should be fenced at the drip line to prevent encroachment by equipment, debris, etc. Park Dedication The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this subdivision at its March 8, 2000 meeting and recommended that cash dedication be accepted. The fee will be based on the density allowed under the zoning district (11 lots). The Master Park Plan has an area-wide park identified in this area of the City. The Commission also recommended that an easement be obtained to allow public trail access to the 40-acre set aside for the future should a regional park be developed in this area. The easement would only be used if a regional recreational facility were developed adjacent to the 40-acre Outlot C. Architectural Theme The applicant is still working on an architectural theme. At the Planning Commission workshop, the applicant discussed white fencing along Jarvis Street and 226th Avenue, natural building materials for home fronts, and street lights on each property (operated by a photo cell).
