dangerous conditions (curves, topographic change,build entrances, difficult intersections, etc.). Aim for a trail on one side of the street on all collector and arterial streets." Trail Connectivity, as indicated in the Master Plan on exhibit 5.6, shows a trail corridor along Elk Lake Rd NW. Staff recommends locating the trail on the west side of Elk Lake Rd. Parks and Recreation Commission - October 12, 2016 The Parks and Recreation Commission, on October 12, 2016,recommended Park Dedication be paid for one dwelling unit. The current rate is $1,425.93 per dwelling unit. Staff will determine the final amount when the plat is released for recording. On October 12, 2016, the Parks and Recreation Commission was made aware of the topography, curves, and other physical features along this area. The Commission recommended (7-0) that a trail easement be required along the western side of the subject property (i.e., east side of Elk Lake Rd NW). No direction on easement width was provided. The City Council approved the plat on October 17, 2016,with the Park and Recreation Commission recommendation to include a trail easement, again no easement width was specified. City Council Meeting- November 21, 2016 During the Open Forum at the November 21, 2016, City Council meeting, the applicant spoke, stating they were confused about the approved trail easement. As they interpret the tail location of the Parks Master Plan to be along the west side of the road, the applicant questioned why an easement was required when their property is on the east side of the road. The City Council directed the applicant to reapply for the plat requesting the trail easement on the property to be removed. Parks and Recreation Commission - December 14, 2016 On December 14, 2016, the Parks and Recreation Commission re-reviewed the application. The applicants spoke during the public hearing and questioned how the city can require an easement on the east side of Elk Lake Road when the Master Plan shows a future trail that appears to be on the west side of Elk Lake Road. They stated that if the intent was to leave opportunities for interpretation of a future trail location, the map is unclear and misleading to the public. They also questioned how the city can require a cash dedication for Park Dedication, as well as an easement for public use. They understand they own the land under the easement but when a trail is constructed on their property for the public,it becomes "public land" and not just their land. They feel it is two forms of dedication. The Commission recommended (4-3) that a 10-foot trail easement be required along the western side of Lot 2 Block 1 of the proposed plat (i.e., east side of Elk Lake Rd NW). Applicable Regulation Approval of a plat may only be ordered if the following findings have been made, as outlined in Section 30-375: 1. The proposed subdivision is consistent Pith the honing regulations (article VI of this chaptev) and confoa-ms in all respects�a ith all reguire�nents of this Code, including the honing regulations and this article. The property is zoned R-1a and the proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning regulations outlined in the city code and approved plans.
