dedicates right-of-way for internal circulation. Lot 5 Block 1 will contain the existing house and the remaining lots will be new developable lots, which are eligible for park dedication. Parks and Recreation The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended: Park dedication be paid for the final number of dwelling units, at the applicable rate when the subdivision is released for recording. A bituminous trail be installed, to city standards, along the entire eastern edge of the subject property parallel to Tyler Street. A concrete sidewalk be installed, to city standards, from the western stub of 190`' Ave through the development to the Tyler Street bituminous trail. Planning Commission During the public hearing, one neighbor asked if his property would be affected by water runoff from the proposed development. It was clarified there would be no increase of water runoff. The neighbor to the north questioned how the proposed trail along Tyler Street would affect his property. It was noted any future trail on his property would occur during future development or as part of a future city project, and that there are no plans to extend the trail at this time. The property owner questioned the need for both a sidewalk and a trail and staff informed him it was only a trail along Tyler Street being recommended. The applicant questioned the need for sidewalks on one side of all streets in the development. The city has required sidewalks on one side of all residential streets in new preliminary plats in the urban service area. There are numerous older plats that have not had sidewalks, but they have been standard in new developments. The Planning Commission discussed the sidewalks, and the consensus was not to recommend all streets have sidewalks. The applicant also discussed buffering and setbacks for stormwater ponds. He questioned the need for these standards as they take polluted runoff directly from the street, bypassing any buffering benefits along back yards. The setback standards around stormwater ponds provide buffers from surface contamination, the same as they do for wetlands, but unlike wetlands, stormwater ponds can experience a significant bounce in water level during heavy rainfall events. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the preliminary plat.
