The 2017 rate for low density <br />residential is $1,425.93 per dwelling unit. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Case Number P 17-17 <br /> <br />The subject property is east of Meadowvale Road and north of 227th Avenue. The property is zoned R1-a <br />with minimum lot sizes of 2 ½ acres. <br /> <br />The applicant will be splitting the 25.88 acre property into two parcels, one new buildable lot (10.83 <br />acres), one lot (13.33 acres) for the existing home, and 1.72 acres of right-of-way dedication for <br />Meadowvale Road and 227th Avenue. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Commission <br />The Neighborhood Parks Service Area text in Chapter 5 of the master plan states, recreation facilities should <br />be developed when 300 or more households within cluster developments or on lots less than 2 acres are located within 1.5 <br />miles of the park. The subject property does not meet this requirement. Therefore, staff recommends the <br />Parks and Recreation Commission recommend Park Dedication be in the form of cash. <br /> <br />Trail Connectivity, as indicated in the master plan, indicates “Other Future Trails” are desired along the <br />west side of Meadowvale Road. The subject property is on the east side of Meadowvale Road so the trail <br />connectively plan does not apply in this case, therefore no easement is needed for a trail. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Statutory Review Period <br />Per State Statute, the required 120-day review period for a plat ends on December 19, 2017. <br /> <br /> <br />
