Park & Recreation Commission Minutes April 10, 2002 Page 5 . Commissioner Nystrom asked if the parcel was adjacent to Outlot A of Lafayette Woods (Big Tooth Ridge Park). The Commission discussed trail connections between Big Tooth Ridge Park and County Road 77. COMMISSIONER KUESTER MOVED TO ACCEPT PARK LAND DEDICATION OF 1.5 ACRES OF LAND ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PLAT FOR TRAIL PURPOSES. COMMISSIONER NYSTROM SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 7-0. 9.B.5. Preliminary Plat - Nordic Hills. Case No. P 02-07 The subject property is 28.47 acres located east of County Road 1, south of Nordic Woods, and west of Meadowvale School, lying north of the 193rd Avenue alignment. The proposed subdivision is for 50 single-family homes which would utilize the existing 194th Avenue entrance. At its last meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission decided that cash dedication would be preferable but after looking at the Master Park Plan, it is noted that the property is within Park Service Area 9, which indicates that additional parkland is necessary in the area. Additional properties in the same area are proposed for subdivision in the near future (Ron Bastyr proposal) and additional parkland could be considered as part of that subdivision. The maximum dedication of land from the subdivision would be 2.8 acres or cash dedication for 50 lots equaling $77,000. Staff requested that the Commission determine if land or cash dedication is preferable for this plat. . Mr. Black, Royal Oaks Realty, was in attendance and he recommended that the Commission accept the 5 acres of park land previously discussed (Ron Bastyr proposal). He believes that this land would better suit the neighborhood's parkland needs. Mr. Black also suggested that the Commission lower the park dedication amount if some of the area is wetland. Ms. McPherson stated that she will talk to Mr. Bastyr of Windsor Development again to see if they will reconsider the parkland dedication rather than cash dedication. Ms. McPherson stated that the concept plan with Mr. Bastyr is not an actual plat. Commissioner Kuester expressed the strong need for a neighborhood park in this area and he believed meeting with Mr. Bastyr is appropriate. CHAIR PETERSON MOVED TO ACCEPT CASH DEDICATION FOR THE PLAT WITH A TRAIL CONNECTION TO CONNECT TO THE NORTH AND EAST WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT MR. BASTYR WILL BE CONTACTED TO RECONSIDER LAND DEDICATION FOR HIS CONCEPT PLAN. COMMISSIONER KUESTER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 7-0. 9.B.6. Preliminary Plat - Kliever Lake Fields East. Case No. P 02-02 . Ms. McPherson stated that the City has no opportunity for park dedication, as the developer agreed to provide 7.9 acres of land for a park in the plat of Kliever Lake Fields, which met the ten percent requirement for the 79 acre site.
