_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Arden Hills PTRC Meeting for July 18, 2019 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-002 - Summit Development - PUD, CPA, RZ, PP, FP Page 3 of 4 The Lake Johanna Fire Department is requiring a fire lane to access the south side of the building. The fire lane starts just to the west of the main entrance off the cul-de-sac. The fire lane access is 20 feet wide and has a surmountable curb. It is intended to serve a double purpose as both an access road and a public trail. To make the fire lane more of an amenity, the Applicant is proposing to paint shuffleboard courts as shown on the image above. Signage will be placed at the start of the fire lane delineating it from the building access drive. Park Dedication For a subdivision that results in new dwelling units in excess of eight units per acre, Section 1130.08 of the Subdivision Ordinance permits the City to require the applicants to dedicate up to ten percent of the buildable land area in the subdivision or to pay a park dedication fee of up to twenty percent of the property’s land value at the time the final plat is approved. In 2019, Ramsey County assigned an estimated market value of $745,500 to the three parcels included in this development. State Statutes require the City to use the value of the property prior to development when determining park dedication requirements. This means that the park dedication requirement, if it were paid in a fee, would be $149,100. To meet this obligation, the applicants have proposed to construct a sidewalk along the south side of Parkshore Drive from the end of the cul-de-sac to Snelling Avenue. This creates a connection to the existing trail along Snelling Avenue. The applicant is also proposing to construct a loop, approximately 565 feet in length, in the existing park land. This loop also includes six exercise stations. The cost of these improvements can be deducted from the total park dedication requirements. At this time, staff anticipates the developer will cover the gap between the park dedication requirement and the cost of the improvements.
