Airborne MCcarrons, LLC were able to redesign the lot/layout and look and feel of the plat, but it also allowed us to add the component to our development in accordance with the Vision Plan. This trail link, which would have been very difficult to accomplish without the acquisition of 196 McCarrons, was now possible, and could be done at a location that provided routing and connectivity that, in our opinion, makes sense. Please note that trail location is the colored exhibit was preliminary, and the location of the trail from the Marion Street cul-de-sac to McCarrons Blvd as shown on the plans is the current concept. This did come at a significant cost, however, including expense for land and trail construction. We estimate our cost to be in the range of $40,000 to $50,000 to provide this 8 wide Trail link. Final costs will be determined upon plat approvals and bidding/construction cost. There is no particular land area within these two parcels that we feel would be a beneficial dedication for a park. The land north of the road adjacent to the lake is quite small, provides a much-needed amenity for our future Owners, and if developed/owned by the City would just duplicate the much larger County park with similar amenities. The open land within the southern parcel is wetland, or necessary for the various stormwater treatment ponds, existing and proposed utility easements, infiltration trenches, swales, and other features to make the development work. Our request is that the expense incurred to provide for the trail be credited toward the park fees, as we have worked hard to meet the Vision plan goal, the primary purpose of which is for use by the general public and not for our residents, have done so at considerable expense, and are facilitating a link that otherwise would be very difficult to accomplish. Your consideration is most appreciated. Sincerely, Roger Anderson Attch: Colored Exhibit Grading and utility plan Except from 2018 Vision Plan Page Ћ of Ћ
