Alex Hall, United Properties, Kevin Teppin, MFRA (site worli/landscaping) <br />Mr. Hall advised that original plans had provided for a road dead-ending and looping back into <br />their building; prior to a series of discussions with the Parks Department on the need for a road to <br />access this land-locked City park Mr. Hall opined that this alignment was the last option for <br />making a connection to the park, since once the site was developed the City was left with a <br />backdoor entrance to a City parking lot. Mr. Hall summarized numerous meetings with staff, <br />including Parks and Recreation Director Lonnie Brokke, and United Properties' initial position <br />that they'd sacrificed the townhomes previously proposed on the north and their related <br />development value, in addition to constructing, at their expense, a public road to provide access <br />to a City park Mr. Hall noted that their intent was to attempt to eliminate the turnaround from <br />the corner of their property that would negatively impact aesthetics at that end of the building, in <br />addition to eliminating a substantial number of trees along the eastern border. Mr. Hall advised <br />that, after meeting with Mr. Brokke and the City's landscape architect, this compromise concept <br />had been achieved, moving the turnaround onto park land with the intent to create a nice gateway <br />or entrance to the park so in time the City parking lot could be modified to play off that <br />turnaround. <br />Mr. Hall, in addressing the park dedication fee, noted the amount of land and townhome <br />construction value they'd given up for the public road and buffer area, and opined that it was the <br />developer's feeling that this represented adequate park dedication on their behal£ However, Mr. <br />Hall advised that given the obvious importance to the Parks Department, and in an effort to <br />compromise, they would not obj ect to the park dedication fee on this senior cooperative proj ect. <br />Mr. Hall asked that they would like further discussion related to a fee on the assisted living, since <br />those residents would not have use of the park, and since those units are smaller, at <br />approximately 500 square feet studio units, asked for some reduction on that site. <br />Mr. Hall advised that, related to the road, the developer would prefer not to see it expanded for <br />on-street parking; specifically from a safety issue, given two way traffic in and out from the <br />soccer field, having already observed lots of activity around vans and vehicles, lots of kids, and <br />eventual exiting by senior cooperative residents out that eastern end and turning the corner, not <br />to mention the grade of the road sitting in a location outside the parking garage ten feet (10') <br />below the soccer field and requiring a retaining wall. Mr. Hall opined that, for the few parking <br />spaces that would be provided with on-street parking, and loss of trees and green space through <br />expanding the road, it would be more prudent to maintain the road width at 24 — 26', and <br />creating any additional City parking in the City parking lot and not on their private parcel. <br />Councilmember Roe sought information from staff on the estimate to the City to construct the <br />turnaround on City park property at this time, for construction of a simple cul-de-sac. <br />Councilmember Roe asked Mr. Brokke if the parking in the existing parking lot was inadequate. <br />Public Works Director Duane Schwartz estimated that the cost at $40 -$50,000. Parks and <br />Recreation Director Lonnie Brokke opined that the existing parking was inadequate; and Mr. <br />Schwartz estimated that an additiona120 spaces could be achieved with on-street parking as <br />suggested, with the current lot allowing for approximately 40 spaces. <br />Mr. Brokke addressed the Langton Lake Master Plan originally done in 1986, with the intent for <br />future planning at Cleveland Avenue and Brenner Avenue to access off Cleveland through the <br />development, partially on the park and partially on development property, up Brenner to Mount <br />Ridge Road; and planning construction of a parking lot for the park Mr. Brokke acknowledged <br />that it had become apparent that many people were unaware of this Master Plan; and noted <br />United Properties' openness to other alternatives, with several scenarios developed throughout <br />the process. <br />
