CITY OF L= LAMS PARK SCAW 11AG MCNDAY, NOVENEOR 7, 1994 Me contlilued by saying if the board looked at this concept in an overall -vision, and park acreage need concern, the larger area on the north side of the development is about 19 or 20 acres giving this area a large open space for recreation, Since the developer does not control this land yet, he has indicated that he would write into the agreement assurances of a land dedication in an area that he does now own in the area indicated as Phase V, and highlighted by the green cross-hatch in Exhibit D of the concept plan. This area would be a 10 acre parcel in size. Marty said this was obviously oat the best scenario for anyone- Marty izicluded a copy of the pla=iing report for the public hearamg concerning Clearwater Creek.

Referring to the break-out sheet, the total buildable upland of the project is 195.8 acres, with a total land dedication of 40.6 acres.

The recomTendation includes banking, credits, and cash assurances. Further should the land area to the north not be developed, the developer would give written assurances of 3
