The motion approved <br />for an upland park area of 26.68 acres will be corrected to total land dedication of 27.37 acres. The additional <br />increase of 0.69 acres is caused by the addition of the trail connecting the street to the circular pond trail <br />(between basin J and K). <br /> <br />A discussion item from the last meeting was the trail cost for the regional trail. We have a recent example of a <br />developer funded 10-foot trail from a project currently underway in the city with a baseline cost of $50 to $70 <br />per LF. This makes a total cost estimate for the 4,860 LF trail between $250k and $350k. <br /> <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Responsibility grow <br />Opportunity to live, work and play <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> June 14 Park Commission Staff Report and Draft Minutes <br /> Bradford Park Exhibit Layout Plan with Legend <br /> <br />
