The plat includes 55 single-family homes and proposes 4.02 acres of park land to be combined with 2.07 acers when the Miske Meadows develops directly to the east creating a 6.09 acre park. Parks Park dedication for the original River Park development was approved to be a combination of land (4.7 acres) and cash. The city has not received any of the 4.7 acres of land for the park. The land and cash will continue to be collected as phases are developed. Parks and Recreation Master Park Plan In Elk River,residential development within the urban service area is at a density that will support a neighborhood park at a 10-minute walking distance, or a half-mile service radius. Most areas are well served. Because the urban service area is largely developed with little vacant land available to create new parks, emphasis will be on improving connectivity to existing parks and providing basic neighborhood park facilities as undeveloped parks become developed. The general proposed park location will satisfy the half-mile service radius need establish by the master plan. The master plan indicates a need for pedestrian connections to the school site. Sidewalks are proposed to be installed along both sides of Ivanhoe Street,which is adjacent the proposed park land. The master plan does not identify trail corridors in the area.
