Park Dedication Fee shall be paid for one dwelling unit at the rate applicable when the <br /> subdivision is released for recording. The current rate for low density residential is $1,425.93 per <br /> dwelling unit. <br /> 2. Surface Water Management Impact Fee shall be paid for one dwelling unit at the rate applicable <br /> when the subdivision is released for recording. The current rate is $113 per lot. <br /> 3. The plat shall not be released until the wetland delineation is approved by the Technical <br /> Evaluation Panel and updated as directed. <br /> 4. Submittal of written approval from Sherburne County permitting an additional driveway for the <br /> new parcel. <br /> 5. Staff approval of all required development and grading plans. <br /> 6. A trail easement shall be required along the entire western side of the subject property. <br /> On November 21,2016,Deb and Roger Whiteoak spoke during the City Council Open Forum indicating <br /> they were confused why an easement was being required when the Master Plan does not contain trails on <br /> their side of the road? They asked if it could be amended because they did not want to provide the <br /> easement for the following reasons: <br /> • The Council approved Parks and Recreation Master Plan clearly indicates "Other Future Trails" <br /> along the west side of Elk Lake Road. <br /> • Providing a 20-foot wide easement along the entire western property line would be providing <br /> about 1 acre of additional land above and beyond the cash dedication. <br /> • A trail installed in this area would take out all of the trees that provide the buffer from County <br /> Road 1. <br /> rill .
