16. 17. 18. 19. - The interior spaces of the three cuNde-sac loops; - The wetland areas shown as open space on the Concept Plan. Additionally, the stormwater pond has potential to be a significant open space amenity for both the residential and commercial development of the property, and conditions for development of the commercial outlets should be established to protect the perimeter of the pond from commercial development encroachment to enable pedestrian amenities and a trail around the perimeter of the pond. The proposed open space areas within the development will be private open spaces, and will be maintained by the homeowners association. These spaces need to be high quality spaces, and the overall landscaping plan must be of similarly high quality. Further, site layout, building orientation and design, and building separation distances must be considered by the developer to maintain the 'open space’ character intended by the City for this development. Interior private street lighting should be at a low level consistent with the surrounding rural residential character while providing the necessary level of security, and will be maintained by the homeowners association. Public street lighting along Kelley Parkway will be provided by the developer, then maintained through standard agreement between the City and the appropriate public utility company. There are no identifiable public parkland needs at this location other than extensions of the City’s public trail system along Willow Drive and Highway 12. However, development of the proposed housing and future development of office uses will generate additional use of existing City park facilities in the area. On the basis of the Developers’ statement that the public trail easements will be granted without requesting a park fee reduction. Council finds that no park lands need to be dedicated and the park dedication should be in the form of a Cash Contribution in Lieu of Lands as allowed by the Municipal Code. The City Council finds that it would be prudent to conduct a traffic study as soon as possible to determine the impacts of this plan on roads and intersections outside the development, to review internal circulation, and to detennine whether specific revisions to the proposed development plan or offsite roadway improvements are required, either as a direct result of this development or due to conditions not directly related to this development. Developer has indicated a willingness to pay an appropriate share of the costs of this study. Page 6 of 21
