Additional park improvements and trails are proposed beneath the power lines and around wetlands in the south portion of the site. The proposed park location and general trail connections are identified in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the park and trail locations and recommended a pro- rated park dedication rate for the developable areas. Credit will be given for the park, approximately 25% of the dedication requirements will be satisfied with the park, and the remaining value will be satisfied via cash dedication. The city's park dedication rates are currently under review, and the final value will be determined when final plat is reviewed. Phasing The applicant includes a preliminary phasing plan which shows the first phase of the project as south of Twin Lakes Elementary and along Cleveland Ave. The first phase includes approximately 40 detached townhome lots, and 18 single-family lots. The developer is planning to begin construction of this first phase in the spring of 2016. Subsequent phases are identified in attached plans and described in the applicant's narrative.

The property was zoned PUD as part of the River Park Project. The plans submitted by the applicant will be used to review the new project. 2. The uses allowed in a PUD shall be limited to land uses consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and land use map, and to those uses identified in the concept plan for the PUD ,oning district and the conditional use permit for the PUD. The comprehensive plan guides this area for urban residential uses with a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre and an average density of 3 to 4 dwelling units per acre. After removing the non -buildable areas, the average density of the development is approximately 3.5 units per acre. The comprehensive plan also guides this area for single-family and detached townhome style units. The PUD proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. The area of land to be included in a PUD shall be in uniform control of the applicant. The remaining undeveloped portions of the River Park development are owned by the applicant (Paxmar) and Lennar. The land within the current PUD application is in uniform control of the applicant.
