#05-3131 November 17,2005 ' Page 3 Park Commission Comments Please review Exhibit E. The Park Conuziission reviewed this plan on November 7 and recommended that the trail coimection along the private road anci through the church property to Glendale Drive should be a up blic pedestrian and bike trail. They did not fiirther 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 liot delineate the wetland boundary along the road; this would be needed if this easement were to be used for trail someday. Note that Planning Comrriission concluded on October 17 that the combination of Olrtlot B aiid 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. Plans should include a 10' trail easement along the west boundary of the entire property. 2. 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. StafFis advised these plans are underway as of tlus writing,and a letter with recorrunendations from AES should be available for review at yot�r November 21 meeting. 3. Applicant must provide written confirmation tliat 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 tuladdressed to date should be brought up 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 P1aiuling Conunission regarding landscaping and Conservation Desi�n. Options for action include: - Table for fiirther revisions and consideration(provide applicant direction). -Reconunend approval/conditional approval for the concept plan,preliminary plat&RPUD rezoning. - Other Any recomme�idation for approval should address the issues noted above and be subject the comments of the City Engineer. If Plaruiing Commission chooses to move this forward to Colmcil,it would be scheduled for the December 12 meeting.
