AGENDA ITEM STAFF ORIGINATOR Marty Asleson DATE May 31, 1994 TOPIC Woodridge Estates II, Preliminary Discussion AGR�ON > Rick Carlson has shown interest in developing the parcel of land south of Oakwood Lane. You may recall this parcel of land was recently purchased by the Shorview Covenant Church, and the northern portion of this land offered to the Parks and Recreation Board for purchase consideration. It was decided at that time that the land had a highly inflated value, included the inflated value for wetland as well as upland, and had a total acreage of 1.7 acres. Also recall that there was no subdivision at that time since the church purchased the entire parcel and so there was no park dedication required. Rick is possibly interested in developing the northern portion of the church property. Before Rick pursues this idea any further he wanted to simply discuss this project with the Park Board to get their feelings for an idea on Park Land and trail dedication. Rick owns Outlot B in the Woodridge Estates Subdivision. Please see the attached maps and wetland delineation. This parcel would contain approximately 1.59 acres of upland. Rick would propose giving this as park dedication along with a strip on the north west corner of the church property if he should pursue the purchase of this parcel. Rick would also dedicate the trail corridor extending from Woodridge Court through the church parcel. The strip on the north east would allow for possible expansion to the land lock piece of property in the north east corner of the property to the West. Details on access to the park in Outlot B would need to be incorporated in the development design. There are a couple of possibilities. Our Comprehensive Plan places a need for about 6 acres of park in this area. The Woods of Baldwin Lake provided 2.18 Acres of mini- park of which 1 acre is wetland. Rick's proposal would add to the park acreage needs by adding about another 2 acres of upland bringing our total park land acreage in this area to about 3.25 acres. The possibility would then be open to purchasing or taking through dedication additional land in the adjoining property to the west to bring up our park land needs to standards in this area.
