c � ityof lk River MEMORANDUM TO: Park & Recreation Commission i FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planners „/ DATE: January 17, 1996 SUBJECT: Items for Park & Recreation Commission Agenda for January 17, 1996 Preliminary Plat for Ridgewood Hills- Case No. P 95-9 This preliminary plat is located just west of Jarvis Street along the 216th Street alignment. It is a plat within the A-1 (Agricultural) District, where either 10 acre minimum is required or a density of 4 per 40. The project area is 110 acres in area which, according to the density, would allow 11 single • family lots. Action Requested The Park and Recreation Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the park dedication requirements for this proposed preliminary plat. Preliminary Plat for Oak Creek Estates- Case No. P 95-8 This proposed preliminary plat is approximately 17 acres in size and consists of 41 single family lots. Access to the plat is off of County Road 1 with connections to other residential streets being made to the north and south at a later time as those parcels develop. Staff discussed with the developer the possible need for a trail corridor through the plat to complete the connection from Meadowvale Heights to the City railroad trail. The developers are illustrating a 20 foot corridor along the south side of their property which could be used for trail purposes. This corridor would line up with the trail as it leaves Meadowvale Heights at the northeast corner. Upon further review, it appears to be more appropriate that any trail crossings of County Road No.1 occur at identified intersections to further ensure safe crossing of pedestrians. Therefore, the trail leaving Meadowvale Heights could follow County Road 1 south to the proposed access to the plat and proceed east • along a future road alignment. This alignment would ultimately hook up 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425
