3 complete. As of the writing of this report, the City Engineer has not completed a review of these calculations, so we do not know if changes are required. Other comments on the grading plan are identified in the attached memorandums. Wetlands: There are two existing wetlands located on the north side of the property. The original wetland delineation has expired and a new delineation is required. The new wetland delineation has not been submitted as of the writing of this report. Tree Preservation/Landscaping: As noted above, the property has been graded and the original trees removed. The previous tree replacement plan identified new 15 overstory trees to be planted along the north side of Boulder Pass and 24 new evergreens to be planted along the east side of the property adjacent to Aberdeen Avenue. Subdivision trees are also required on each lot as building permits are issued. When the property to the south of this development is developed, it is likely a collector road will be extended from Aberdeen Avenue to the west. This road may be directly adjacent to the lots along the south side of Stonebridge of Jordan 3rd and 4th Additions. The addition of a landscaped screen along the south boundary of the plat should be considered. Parkland Dedication: Section 153.11 (L) of the City Subdivision Ordinance requires dedication of “land for parks, playgrounds, public open space and trails, pedestrian ways and sidewalks and/or shall make a cash payment to the city's park fund.” According to the Subdivision Ordinance, a land dedication of 2.25 acres is required for this subdivision. There is no land identified for parks in this plat. The City Council may also accept a cash dedication in lieu of land. The required cash dedication is equal to the fair market value of the buildable unplatted land. In this case, the cash dedication would be equivalent to the market value of 2.25 acres. The City Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee reviewed this preliminary plat on September 25, 2017. The Committee expressed concern about the lack of a neighborhood park facility in this area. The Committee would prefer a land dedication to establish a neighborhood park. At a minimum, the developer is required to make a cash dedication. PUD Plan: Section 154. 192 of the City Zoning Ordinance states a PUD is “intended to encourage the efficient use of land and resources, to promote greater efficiency in public utility services and encourage innovation in the planning and building of all types of development. Public benefits to be derived as a result of the PUD include but are not limited to: (A) Permit and promote greater flexibility to allow more creativity and imaginative design, and to promote more efficient uses of the land while preserving existing landscape amenities and allowing harmonious development consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for Jordan and preserving the health, safety and welfare of the community. (B) Ensure concentration of open space into more usable areas, and the preservation of the natural resources of the site including wetlands, woodlands, steep slopes and scenic
