Gty of Elk Request for Action River To Item Number Parks and Recreation Commission 5.1 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Action Item May 9, 2018 Steve Benoit,Recreation Manager Item Description Reviewed by Park Dedication -Barrett Estates Chris Leeseberg, Senior Planner Reviewed by Michael Hecker,Parks and Recreation Director Action Requested Recommend,by motion,park dedication for the plat of Barrett Estates be paid for 2 dwelling units at the rate applicable when the subdivision is released for recording. (This will be $2,851.86 at the 2018 low density rate) After the park dedication motion has been acted on,provide staff with input on the conceptual connection in the vicinity of 196th Avenue. Background/Discussion The subject property is south of 196th Avenue along the Queen Street alignment. The proposed plat will consist of three lots 2.41 acres in size. One of the lots (Lot 2) will contain the existing house and the other two will be new developable lots. These are the two lots eligible for park dedication. The applicant received variances for lot sizes and lot widths. There is a wetland complex covering most of the northern portion of the subject property and directly west/northwest of the cul-de-sac of 196th Avenue. Parks and Recreation Commission The Neighborhood Parks Service Area text in Chapter 5 of the master plan states, recreation facilities should be developed when 300 or more households within cluster developments or on lots less than 2 acres are located within 1.5 miles of the park. The subject property does not meet this criteria, therefore staff recommends dedication be paid in the form of cash. Master Trail Plan The Master Trail Plan shows a conceptual connection in the vicinity of 196`h Avenue connecting Lander Street with the 180 undeveloped acres to the west. Due to the location of wetlands, future driveways, and fewer properties to be affected, city staff has determined a future trail would be best suited to go around the northern side of wetland complex that impacts the subject parcel. Staff would like input from the Parks and Recreation Commission on this. Staff will continue work with the applicant on any possible trail connections on the subject property. Financial Impact None The Elk River Vision A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional PONEBEI IT service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity NATURE
