The proposed revised agreement between the City and the developer includes an assessment of $285,000 to the Trapper's Crossing plat (which includes -115 Tots) for improvements to 12th Avenue and Holly Drive. This assessment will constitute the developer's full and complete obligation for any further road construction improvements to 12th Avenue and Holly Drive. Trapper's Crossing Fence and Landscape Plan Staff feels that additional trees are needed to provide a more effective barrier. It is recommended that 20 conifers, staggered at 20' on -center, and at a minimum 8' high be provided rather than the proposed 14 trees. It is also recommended that 100 dogwood trees be planted in the wetland areas. It is staffs opinion that the combination of the proposed fence, the revised landscaping, and the existing wetlands will discourage trespassing onto the adjacent rural property. The developer has obtained a permit to construct a 6' high board -on -board fence along the westerly line of the Trapper's Crossing I plat. An existing mesh fence exists on the southeast corner of the plat separating Trapper's Crossing from the adjacent property owner, Ms. Walseth. Staff recommends that in addition to the landscaping proposed by the developer that a row of shrubs be planted adjacent to the mesh fence to provide an additional barrier to deter trespassing. These shrubs could be dogwood. OPTIONS: 1. Continue the public hearing to a later date. 2. Close the public hearing. 3. Close the public hearing and accept the agreement between the City and the Developer of Trapper's Crossing as follows: RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council close the public hearing and approve the agreement between the City and the Developer of Trapper's Crossing.
