Memo to Planning Commission Page 3 <br /> January 24, 1995 <br /> IP SIDEWALK VS. TRAIL <br /> Another issued discussed by the Park and Recreation Commission related to <br /> improvements for pedestrians along Business Center Drive. It was <br /> recommended a ten (10) foot wide bituminous trail or an eight (8) foot wide <br /> concrete sidewalk be provided along the south side of Business Center Drive. <br /> In addition, the Business Park Task Force also had an opportunity at a <br /> previous meeting to emphasize the need to establish a professional and <br /> quality image for the Business Park. Therefore, the Business Park Task <br /> Force felt that a concrete pedestrian system would provide a better <br /> appearance than a bituminous trail along Business Center Drive. <br /> Staff would agree with a concrete pedestrian system along Business Center <br /> Drive. The standard sidewalk width that is typically constructed with a <br /> public improvement is six (6) feet. Therefore, treating this road similar to <br /> other public streets that have sidewalks, it would be recommended that the <br /> pedestrian system be a concrete six (6) foot wide sidewalk. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the <br /> • preliminary plat for Country Ridge Partnership's request to subdivide <br /> approximately 37 acres into 3 lots and two outlots with the following <br /> conditions: <br /> 1.

A decorative street light be installed along Joplin and Business Center <br /> Drive.

Payment of park dedication in the amount of $1,500 per acre for the <br /> three lots being proposed in this preliminary plat. This park <br /> dedication shall be paid prior to the release of final plat for recording. <br /> 5.
