W»131 November 17, IMS Page 3 Park Commiuion Comments Please review Exhibit E. The Park Commission reviewed this plan on November 7 and recommended that the trail connection along the private road and through the church property to Glendale Drive should be a public pedestrian and bike trail. They did not further discuss the issue of potential wetland conflicts with the trail easement requested along the entire Willow Drive frontage of the plat. Smyth noted that the applicant ’s wetland delineator did not delineate the wetland boundary along the road; this would be needed if this easement were to be used for trail someday. Note that Planning Commission concluded on October 1 7 that the combination of Outlot B and the proposed trail connection to Glendale would satisfy the RPUD “10% private recreation area ” requirement, with no park fee re-imbursement for either of these elements, even though the trail through the church property will be public. Remaining Issues To Be Resolved or For Consideration 1. 2. Plans should include a 10* trail easement along the west boundary of the entire property. Applicant should provide suitable landscape plans, tree preservation and augmentation plans showing how development of the site can meet the City’s Conservation Design goals. Staff is advised these plans are underway as of this writing, and a letter with recommendations from AES should be available for review at your November 21 meeting. 3.Applicant must provide written confirmation that MCWD will accept the 2000 s.f. wetland filling in proposed in Lot 8. 4. Other concerns? Staff Recommendation Discussion of the above issues should provide applicant and staff with direction as to whether or how the proposed plat should be further revised. Any remaining topics left uiuddressed to date should be brought iq) for discussion. A key factor as to whether this should move forward to Council with a recommendation for RPUD concept plan approval is whether the applicant has satisfied Planning Commission regarding landscaping and Conservation Design. Options for action include: - Table for further revisions and consideration (provide applicant direction). * Recommend approval/conditional appr^'val for the concept plan, preliminary plat & RPUD rezoning. “Other Any recommendation for approval should address the issues noted above and be subject the comments of the City Engineer.
