Updated: August 2020 Request for Action To Parks and Recreation Commission Item Number 7.2 Agenda Section Action Item Meeting Date August 10, 2022 Prepared by Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director Item Description Villas at Fillmore Trail Extensions Reviewed by Zach Carlton, Community Development Director Reviewed by Cal Portner, City Administrator Action Requested Discussion of potential trail extensions from The Villas at Fillmore plat. Recommend, by motion, trail extensions from The Villas at Fillmore be paid for with park dedication monies due to the city by the developer. Background/Discussion Last month the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed The Villas at Fillmore plat and recommended park dedication to be paid at the applicable rate for the final number of dwelling units. During the City Council review the developer approached the city to see if the Parks and Recreation Commission might be interested in constructing two trail extensions to complete a trail loop as shown in the trail master plan. The developer proposed paying for the off-site improvements with park dedication monies. The proposal will provide a loop, connecting the existing neighborhoods to the north and south, along Fillmore, through the proposed subdivision. Alternatively, the developer would install a trail with dead-ends to the north and south leaving no real connectivity to the newly installed infrastructure. Financial Impact Total due in park dedication will be about $61,314. The engineers estimate $42,000 for the two proposed trails extensions to streets and connections to existing sidewalks.
