Me o Planning mmission Page 2 anuary 24, 199 orance. This concept accomplishes one of the goals in developing this • property as business park which was to restrict access onto 183rd Avenue. 183rd Avenue is intended to be a residential street and was not designed to accommodate business park traffic. LOT SIZES The minimum lot size in the business park zone is 1-1/2 acres. All three lots well exceed this minimum requirement. As mentioned above, the lots identified in the conceptual subdivision of Outlot B also satisfy the minimum requirements. ROADS The preliminary plat as submitted identifies two major streets, Joplin along the east and Business Center Drive acting as a frontage road towards the west. The one street not shown on the plat is the frontage road as it extends east of Joplin. Therefore, provisions will need to be made for the extension of this street at a later time. The alignments of the proposed streets in the preliminary plat are generally • acceptable. However, the City Engineer has completed a study of the entire Business Park area to determine the total number of trips that may ultimately be generated, from which he has suggested a few modifications to the design presented in the preliminary plat. The Joplin Street and Business Center Drive alignment along with the appropriate amount of right-of-way is critical to facilitate long term traffic demands as this area develops. Please refer to Terry Maurer's memo for a complete explanation of the street design for those streets within the plat and how they may be extended further to the west as the business park continues to develop. PARK AND RECREATION RECOMMENDATION The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the preliminary plat at the January 11th meeting. The Park and Recreation Commission indicated that park dedication is not typically collected on industrial plats, however, the business park zone offers both industrial and commercial opportunities. Therefore, based on the uses proposed at this time which are all commercial in nature, the Park and Recreation Commission recommends a cash payment based on the commercial rate of $1,500 per acre for all three lots. In the future, as Outlot B continues to be further subdivided, if there are additional commercial uses, a park dedication fee will be collected. On the other hand, if the balance of Outlot B is developed as industrial, there will be no park • dedication collected. s:planning:pc:P94-14
