intersection of County Roads 40 and 13, reducing the amount of preserved woodland and including the east/west connection to Twin Lake Estates. The applicant is proposing a 489 unit residential Planned Unit Development with a mix of 173 townhouse lots and 316 single family lots on 224 acres. With the current plan there are no townhouses east of County Road 40. The applicant still plans on improving the wedand in the southwest corner and installing sidewalks on all public streets. The net density of the project, excludingwedands (34 acres) street right-of-way (35 acres) and parkland/school (28 acres), is 3.85 units/acre. If this property were developed at the Rid density of 2.7 units per acre, there could be about 359 units. Staff recommends that the 4 single family lots on the west side of the south park be moved, the street connecting the main street with the connection to Sunset Ridge be converted to a cui de sac and short east/west street, adjacent to the wedand and near the connection to Sunset Ridge, be moved to the north. (see drawing) The applicant has met with the School District and city staff; the proposed location for the school site is a result of that meeting. Parks and Open Space The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the park dedication requirements be met with combination of cash and land. The land includes the 4.7 acre south park which will eventually be combined with parkland that will be included when the property to the south is developed. The proposed school site will include athletic fields. The Council will have to decide if land included with the school site is credited towards their park dedication requirement. Sidewalks and Trails Each public street will have a sidewalk on at least one side, the main north/ south street will have sidewalks on both sides and the street in the northeast corner, on east side of County Road 40, will have sidewalks on both sides. Maintenance of the sidewalks will be subject of further discussion. If the sidewalks are to be city maintained, they will have to be 6 feet wide so that they can be plowed with city equipment. A pedestrian facility should be installed along the west side of County Road 40. Grading. Drainage and Utilities The applicant has submitted a revised preliminary plat for review. The grading, drainage and utility plans have not changed significandy and have not been revised for this meeting. The City Engineer and staff will work with the applicant on fmalizing and approving those plans.
