Memo to Mayor and City Council Page March 20, 1995 • The preliminary plat for Meadowvale Heights was approved by the City Council on April 19, 1993. The preliminary plat originally included 113 single family lots on 121 acres. Following preliminary plat approval, the developer proceeded with the first addition on June 21, 1993. A total of 48 lots were created with the balance to be included in the second addition. Overview The proposed final plat of Meadowvale Heights 2nd Addition is for the most part, consistent with the preliminary plat. However, there are a few items included on the final plat that should be pointed out: • Due to the recommended adjustments in the preliminary plat, the total number of lots have been reduced from 113 to a total of 107 (48 in the first addition and 59 in the second addition). • The Park Commission discussed having a trail system that would extend from the southwest corner of the plat to the northeast. The intent of this trail system was approved as part of Meadowvale Heights 1st Addition, • therefore, not requiring any additional trail system in the second addition. However, the developer is proposing a 20 foot corridor (Park 2) in the southwest corner of the plat with a 70 foot right-of--way along Elgin Drive, to another 20 foot corridor (Park 1) for a future trail system. The developer has already graded the entire site including an area for the trail system along Elgin Drive and within each corridor (Park 1 and Park 2). Apparently, the developer was under the impression that a trail would be required in the second addition and is still willing to provide for this opportunity to occur as presented in the final plat even though it was not approved by the City Council. This future trail opportunity was discussed with Park and Recreation Commission Chairman Dave Anderson. Mr. Anderson thought that by having the corridor and additional right-of--way platted at this time, it would give the City some options in the future to construct a trail. • At the southeast corner of the plat as Elgin Drive meets Meadowvale Road there is a triangular piece of property that is wedged between Elgin Drive and Meadowvale Road. This small piece of property is necessary to complete the extension of Elgin Drive to Meadowvale Road. The developer has apparently reached an agreement with the property owner of this • piece of property and will be acquiring it in mid-April. This triangular s:council:p94-11
