} AGENDA ITEM STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson DATE: May 8, 1995 TOPIC: Shores of Marshan II BACKGROUND The Park Board reviewed the Shores of Marshan II in October of 1994. At that time this project was reviewed as a subdivision, with all of the requirements for park dedication under the park dedication ordinance. This ordinance is made lawful under state law that allows for a percentage of park land be allowed to public purposes in subdivisions. The stated allowance is 10% of the project land, and most commonly makes allowances for higher percentages in subdivisions of higher density. Recently, the request for this, Shores of Marshan II Subdivision was withdrawn. A new site-plan for condominium was submitted. The Park Board now needs to review this site-plan for conformance to the Comprehensive Plan.` The property is zoned R-4 which allows high density residential development (15 units per acre) . The proposed site plan provides 112 units for an overall density of 3.8 units per acre. This would require a 3.06 acre park dedication based on the developments 25.5 acres of buildable upland. The developer is proposing to dedicate 3.03 acres, adding to the existing 1..9 acres on the Shores of Marshan I. Our Comprehensive Plan indicates a total need of 5 acres of park area in this neighborhood. The addition would bring the total park acreage to 4.93 acres, rounded off to 5 acres. The configuration of. this acreage would allow for the `placement of the many amenities that might be expected in this park. In addition the developer is proposing to grade this park area to a configuration that would match the existing grade of the Shores of Marshan II. The Developer has agreed to dedicate, grade, and gravel the trail along Marshan Lake, and grade the trail along Aqua Lane. We would be responsible for obtaining permits on this trail. Since this is i` - a count park road there should be no y pa problems .with: this location..
