Memo to the Planning Commission/P96-2 Page 3 June 25, 1996 when Macon and Riverview Drive are upgraded to an urban section and • utilities extended to serve the Grandview Additions. The lots along Macon and Riverview Drive will not be part of the final plat unless they are served with city water and sewer. Pedestrian Circulation The pedestrian circulation system in this area consists of a trail along the north side of County Road No. 30 that currently terminates within Country Crossing 1st Addition; however, is planned to continue further west along Country Crossing 2nd Addition. There is also a trail extending north along the east side of Joplin Street, as well as a sidewalk on the west side of Joplin. Staff believes Joplin Street south of County Road No. 30 will act as a collector for the traffic in Country Crossing 3rd and the other surrounding subdivisions. In addition, there is also a park proposed in Country Crossing 3rd Addition that will have access off of Joplin Street. Given these surrounding conditions, staff is recommending that a sidewalk be provided along the west side of Joplin Street from County Road No. 30 to Riverview Drive. This sidewalk should be constructed along with the improvements recommended for Joplin Street. • Landscaping Similar to the plantings that have been done in Country Crossing 1st and 2nd Addition, it is recommended a similar planting scheme be provided along the north limits of Country Crossing 3rd Addition. The one difference Country Crossing 3rd Addition will have will be a lack of a berm, given the grade difference between the property and County Road No. 30. Furthermore, each of the lots within the subdivision will be required to have a front yard tree as prescribed in the subdivision ordinance. Park and Recreation Commission The park dedication requirements for this plat were approved when the first addition was originally submitted to the city. At that time, three acres of land were to be dedicated on this 30 acre parcel for park purposes. The development as it was previously designed was presented to the Park and Recreation Commission for their review. At that meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission approved the three acre park land dedication and also recommended a sidewalk along the west side of Joplin Street. This revised plat reflecting the park land configuration will be presented to the Park and Recreation Commission at their meeting in July. Their recommendation will then be forwarded to the City Council along with the • Planning Commission's recommendation. s:\planning\pc\p96-2x.doc
