7 The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication. Per the City’s Park, Greenway & Trail System Plan, a future neighborhood park is programmed to the west of this site. Sidewalks along the streets in the development will connect to future trail corridors along CSAH 34 (Birch Street) and CSAH 54 (20th Avenue). A 300 foot long trail will be constructed in Outlot A of the 2nd Addition and will terminate at the lot line. This trail segment will eventually connect to a future trail along the north side of Birch Street. Terminating the trail at the lot line now will prevent vehicles from confusing the trail with a road. Credit will be given for the construction cost of the trail extension to Birch Street. There are 33 lots in the 2nd Addition; however, the existing house previously addressed as 6651 20th Avenue will remain. Therefore, only 32 lots will be charged park dedication fees. Nadeau Acres 2nd Addition 32 lots x $3,160 = $101,120 -Trail Construction Cost $16,085 TOTAL = $85,035 Tree Preservation and Landscaping The Environmental Coordinator and Environmental Board reviewed the tree preservation and landscape plans for the entire development during the preliminary plat approval process. The 2nd Addition landscape plan has been reviewed by the Environmental Coordinator and is consistent with the approved preliminary landscape plan. Open area landscaping around the storm water ponds were provided in the 1st Addition. Buffer and screen standards apply along CSAH 54 (20th Avenue), specifically Lots 7-10, Block 1, 2nd Addition that have a rear frontage on 20th Avenue. Approximately 475 linear feet of frontage will be screened by shrubs, new trees, and existing trees to provide a continuous planting screen year-round. The 2nd Addition Landscape Plan shows trees and shrubs planted on two separate berms. During preliminary plat review it was suggested these berms be combined to provide a continuous berm; however, an opening between the 2 berms is needed to provide rear yard drainage. A triangulated row of coniferous trees will be planted in addition to the berms that will provide appropriate screening. Coniferous trees and shrubs will be planted on Outlot A along the trail corridor as required. Boulevard trees are required at the rate of one (1) tree per lot frontage for single family. There are 33 single family lots in the 2nd Addition that require 36 boulevard trees (interior and corner lots). Thirty-six (36) trees are proposed which is compliant with the ordinance.
