Memo to Planning Commission/Trottmmo <br /> April 28, 1998 <br /> Page 3 <br /> The 10% park dedication for a 360 acre development would be 36 acres of <br /> • park land, or cash. <br /> Trott Brook Trail Corridor <br /> The park dedication includes a trail corridor along Trott Brook that includes <br /> Outlet E and D of the preliminary plat with a trail connection South through <br /> the townhomes to the future County Road 12 bituminous trail. In the <br /> Preliminary Plat the trail is not yet shown to be accessible from Street 0 or <br /> County Road 12. The trail ends at a townhouse driveway which connects to a <br /> townhouse road which connects to County Road 12. <br /> Outlot E and D, in the Preliminary Plat, provide roughly 50 feet of open <br /> space on each sides of the Brook. In the Southern half of the site this ensures <br /> some protection of the Brook and public access. In the Northern half of the <br /> site the Brook is encroached upon by large lots providing no open space or <br /> public access, with a reliance on future development for a continuation of the <br /> trail. <br /> Neighborhood Park <br /> The neighborhood park includes all the site amenities requested by the Park <br /> • and Recreation Commission. Concerns of the Park and Recreation <br /> Commission include: amount of wetland included in the park, the close <br /> proximity of amenities to the road and to residential lots without a buffer <br /> space or landscaping and the tight nature of the park amenities in general. <br /> Outlot F <br /> Outlot F is not part of the park dedication endorsed by the Park and <br /> Recreation Commission. The area at one time was propose as a 3.5 acre <br /> passive recreation area. If this area would become part of the park <br /> dedication, pedestrian linkages would be required. Furthermore, some <br /> provision for maintenance access would need to be provided in the plat. <br /> Hillside City Park <br /> Hillside City Park, the old city dump site south of Trott Brook Farms, has <br /> been endorsed by the Park and Recreation Commission as a wooded park <br /> with rugged bike trails through out. This shall provide an alternative <br /> location for recreation for families in the area provided there is a safe <br /> crossing of County Road 12 off the County Trail. <br /> IIII <br /> f:\shrdoc\planning\stevewe n\pcmmo\trottm mo.doc <br />
