The applicant is <br />requesting a preliminary and final plat to subdivide their 55.07-acre property into three parcels. Lot 3 will be <br />50.07 acres in size and Lots 1 and 2 will be 2.50 acres. Access to lots 1 and 2 will be from Jarvis Street. Two <br />parcels are eligible for park dedication. <br /> <br />The Parks and Recreation Trails Master Plan identifies a proposed trail on the west side of Jarvis Street, in <br />front of the property, as shown in the attached trail plan. The design and construction details for the trail will <br />be determined when future road and trail improvements are planned. <br />There appears to be sufficient space within the right-of-way to accommodate a future trail. However, if the <br />commission deems it necessary, they may recommend a 30-foot-wide trail easement along Jarvis Street. It is <br />important to note that imposing an easement on a property significantly limits the property owner's ability to <br />use that portion of the land, restricting it primarily to landscaping purposes. <br /> <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Opportunity to live, work, and play. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
