trail access point of at least 20 feet. <br /> Parking has been discussed in the past. This neighborhood park <br /> was designed as basically a walk to park for area residents. <br /> From the early stages of growth in this area it was decided that <br /> any parking considerations should be given to the West Shadow <br /> Lake Drive side. West Shadow Lake Drive is a very wide state aid <br /> road that should facilitate on street parking very well for this <br /> park should this become an issue. I have asked Ted Mattke, Rick <br /> Carlson's engineer to discuss the matter of road design with Dave <br /> Ahrens our city engineer, and the ability to provide some limited <br /> pull-in driving along the street right-of way to satisfy the <br /> needs of handicap and occasional day care access. I have also <br /> discussed this matter with our planner, Mary Kay Wyland. <br /> Although we are not discussing the development for the Junas <br /> property at this time it is important to have some understanding <br /> on this matter since we are now discussing the width of the <br /> access point along West Shadow Lake Drive. Original recall that <br /> we had a small parking lot in the sketch plan in back of the <br /> houses Fox Road. It would not be appropriate to place a parking <br /> lot in this area unless we had about two lot widths along West <br /> Shadow Lake Drive, and again the intention of this park is <br /> basically a walk/bike/blade etc to the park. <br /> I do suggest that as part of the requirements for the development <br /> agreement that new property owners buying houses along the new <br /> section of West Shadow Lake Drive be given notice of the road <br /> design and the possible future parking that may occur from time <br /> to time, and a plan of the neighborhood park for intended use. <br /> I would also request a deed for the land dedication, and a copy <br /> of the purchase agreement to verify the purchase value of the <br /> parcels concerned should a cash dedication become a part of the <br /> agreement. <br /> Depending on the engineering figures that will come in I believe <br /> this to be an important land acquisition need from both the park <br /> and trail perspectives. I have studied this area with Jeff <br /> Schoenbauer our planner, and Jeff agrees with this. <br /> OPTIONS- <br /> 1. Accept the dedication based on the discussion presented in <br /> this document and the land/cash values that the developer will <br /> present. <br /> 2. Refer back to staff for further consideration <br />
