AGENDA ITEM STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson DATE: March 27,1995 TOPIC: Behm's Century Farm Park Dedication Consideration BACKGROUND Behm's Century Farms is a multi-phased, multi-additioned, development with phase one consisting of 52.4 acres, 105 lots, with a 2.0 units/acre current application, and an unestablished market value of $8000 per acre. The approximate upland area is estimated at 42.2 acres and the wetland at 10.2 acres. This development is on the north and west side of the city. This development is bounded by Sunset road on the west, and extending in an irregular path to the south and east between the State Correctional Facility on the south and the Lino Air Park on the north. Existing neighborhood park N -7 lies adjacent to this development on the northwest corner. The development is to be proposed in phases, with phase one indicated on the enclosed maps. Since this area has an existing 8.62 acre park in this area, no land dedication should be needed. The challenge with this neighborhood is to provide an effective trail link access to the park for residents. Please refer to the enclosed maps. A transportation trail (13) connecting into Laurie Ave. and into the park should accomplish this on the south. Another option would be to connect the cul-de-sac at the end of Thomas Street to the cul- de-sac on the north side of Phase 1. This area according to Jeff Schoenbauer was probably the most difficult to achieve the linear trail corridor concept. As you can see, about the only passable location for this corridor was through the air park traversing at a northeast angle. It is thought that at this time the best opportunity to achieve a linear park trail in this area of the city would be the loop segment 5,6,7,and 8, and to connect into this via transportation trails along 4th ave. Please find enclosed the developers proposal with statistical breakout. h
