• Item # 9.B.5. City of Elk -�-1 River MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Michele McPherso &rector of Planning DATE: April 10, 2002 SUBJECT: Consider Park Dedication Requirements for Preliminary Plat— Nordic Hills, Case No. P 02-07 Attachments • Location Map • Page 97 of the Master Park Plan • Preliminary Plat Analysis The subject property is located east of County Road 1, south of Nordic Woods, and west of Meadowvale School,lying north of the 193rd Avenue alignment. The property is 28.47 acres and 50 single family homes are proposed. The plat will utilize the existing 194th Avenue entrance. At the March 13th Park and Recreation Commission meeting,the Commission indicated that cash dedication would be preferable. However,in reviewing the Master Park Plan it should be noted that this property is within Service Area 9,which indicates that additional parkland is necessary in this area, as the Meadowvale School facilities would not be adequate. As the Commission is aware, additional properties may be subdivided in the near future and additional parkland could be considered as part of that subdivision(Ron Bastyr proposal). The maximum dedication of land from this subdivision would be 2.8 acres. The total cash dedication for 50 lots would be$77,000 at the current rate. Additional improvements to the plat should be evaluated: 1) creating an outlot over the 70 foot drainage and utility easement which could provide access to Meadowvale School for construction of a trail(please see notated area on attached preliminary plat),and 2)construction of a sidewalk on either the north or the south sides of 194th Avenue which will provide pedestrian access to the trail on County Road 1. Recommendation • Staff requests that the Commission determine if land or cash dedication is preferable for this plat with the understanding that Park Service Area 9 desires additional parkland.
