The Elk River Vision A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. Updated: August 2020 Request for Action To Parks and Recreation Commission Item Number 7.1 Agenda Section Action Meeting Date January 13, 2021 Prepared by Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director Item Description Park Dedication – Reserve at Woodland Hills Reviewed by Chris Leeseberg, Senior Planner Reviewed by Action Requested Recommend, by motion, park dedication for Reserve at Woodland Hills be paid for the final number of dwelling units at final plat approval at the rate applicable when the subdivision is released for recording. Background/Discussion The subject property, 5.3 acres in size, is zoned R1c and is located at the north east corner of the County Road 1 and 196th Avenue intersection. The current proposed plat will consist of nine lots and dedicated right-of-way for an extension to the 196th Court cul-de-sac. Lot 3 will contain the existing house and the remaining lots will be new developable lots, which are eligible for park dedication. The plat most likely will be reduced in the number of lots as the proposed improvements will not be approved by Sherburne County Public Works Engineering. Lots 4 and 5 are shown to directly access County Road 1. The lots (driveways) do not meet the county required access spacing guidelines of 660’ from an adjacent intersection. The Planning Department is working with the application on this. The Neighborhood Parks Service Area text in Chapter 5 of the master plan states, recreation facilities should be developed when 300 or more households within cluster developments or on lots less than 2 acres are located within 1.5 miles of the park. Woodland Trails is approximately one mile from the subject parcels and Meadowvale Park is approximately one quarter mile away. The subject property does not meet this criterion; therefore, staff recommends dedication be paid in the form of cash. Parks and Recreation Master Plan No trail or pedestrian connections are shown on the master trail plan near or adjacent to the subject parcel.
