Staff recommends the latter. #04-301( May 14,2004 Page 6 6. Park/Trail Easements or Dedication Needed The City has no current plans for trails or parks that specifically require dedication of land from this property. However, the southerly part of the property abuts the Luce Line and as an outlet, the preserved land south of the creek would make a nice addition to the trail corridor, with potential public walking access to the creek. This unique configuration should be looked at by the Park Commission to determine whether the dedication of land could result in regional trail access to the creek. While this might not be within the property owners ’ expectations for the property, the City does have an 8% Park Dedication requirement and the public benefits of such an access must at least be considered. Absent dedication of land for parks, the Park Dedication Fee would be expected to be the maximum fee which by ordinance is capped at S5,550 per new lot.

Road Improvements and/or Eas«'ments Needed The City will require Road, Drainage and Utilities Easements over the private road, which should be platted as an outlet as proposed, to be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Access to Brewn Road . The plat does not include the existing access corridor to Brown Road, as that property is not owned by the applicant but by Mary Dunn of 20 Brown Road South. This 40' corridor is an easement, and is the subject of ongoing legal action between Dunn and Van Eeckhout in terms of what rights are associated with the existing easement. In addition to the 40' tasement, an additional 1 O' road casement exists along the north 1 O' of the plat of Kallestad Acres, granting the City “an easement for ingress, egress, access, read and utilities purposes and uses’’, hence the use of that 10' strip appears to be unquestionable. The total corridor width is 50, and the road should be located to make use of this width, although the current design shows it is primarily being located in the northerly 40'. The City will require that the current driveway be upgraded to City standards all the way out to Brown Road. The City Engineer has recommended tl«.L the easement portion of the private road be platted. As of this writing, however, it seems urilikely that either adjoining neighbor would be interested in becoming part of the plat. This recommendation is not necessarily a requirement, but would result in a cleaner legal description. 8. Stormwater and Drainage Improvements and/or Easements Needed Development of the property will require creation of stormwater management facilities. The applicant is proposing a runoff rate/quality control stormwater pond behind the building site within Lot 7 to serve the subdivision. The City Engineer has made a number of recommendations which the developer must adhere to (sec Exhibit G). The property will be subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trtink Fee, established cuacntly at $2700 per acre for the 2-acrc zone, or $54,000 for this 20-acre site.
