To: From Date: Re: MEMORANDUM Parks and Recreation Commission Lonnie Brokke August 26, 2013 Notes for Commission Meeting and Tour on Saturday, September 7, 2013 1. Introductions Commissioners and staff will be introduced. 2. Public Comment Invited Public participation and public comment is encouraged. 3. Approval of Minutes of the August 6, 2013 Meeting Enclosed is a copy of the minutes of August 6, 2013. Please be prepared to approve or amend. Requested Commission Action: Approve/amend meeting minutes of August 6, 2013. 4. Cottonwood Holdings, LLC, Park Dedication Review and Recommendation Included in your packet is a proposed preliminary plat application for the Cottonwood Holdings, LLC. Specifically for McCarrons Pond: Outlet A and 180, 182, 184, 186 and 188 Elmer Street. Prior to the City having a Park Dedication Ordinance, the parcel was originally platted as a part of a PUD (Planned Unit Development) for 1 single family home and 4 twin homes which were never built. The current proposal is for 5 single family homes that requires a replatting. Park Dedication fees were not previously paid on any of the lots. This project is to reconfigure the 5 lots as depicted in the enclosed drawing. The site is approximately 1.4 acres and is currently raw land. They would like to covert the site to 5 single family lots. A copy of the proposed subdivision is attached. As you will notice the site is small with a pond in the rear of the site. The role of the Commission is to discuss and make a recommendation from a Park Dedication perspective, specifically recommending either land or cash in lieu. The Park Dedication Ordinance is in your packet. Cottonwood Holdings is seeking to replat the 1.4 acre parcel into five single family residential lots. Because units were never built, park dedication was never paid so the cash amount would be for 5 units x$3500 =$17,500 vs. the land amount would be 10% of 1.4 acres =.14 acre. Cottonwood Holdings has indicated that in order to make this work with the site being so small and a pond in the rear, they would most likely need to consider cash in lieu of the land dedication. This area is located in constellation N in the SE Sector. There are no specific plans for a park parcel of this size in this area. For reference and guidance, included in your packet is specific information from the Master Plan including the: constellation map and the goals and policies related to Parks and Open Space Acquisition. Requested Commission Action: To discuss and make a recommendation to the City Council to accept land or cash to satisfy the Park Dedication requirement, and the amount anticipated.
