Wollan’s Park is an 18 acre open space wetland and not an active park. The Plan indicates a <br />Future Neighborhood Park centrally located within the service area. <br />The Park Board reviewed the concept plan on November 1, 2023. The Board recommended a <br />100% cash dedication in lieu of dedicating land for a neighborhood park. The cash dedication <br />could be utilized for trails, providing leisure opportunities at Lino Lakes Elementary, and making <br />enhancements to Arena Acres Park. <br />Staff Comments: <br />1.The multi-functional greenway corridor shall incorporate trails and open space into the <br />development. The trail shall extend from the existing trail in Natures Refuge around the <br />north side of the pond in Outlot B, Natures Refuge and throughout Natures Refuge <br />North and eventually connect to Andall Street. <br />2.A public value gained with a PUD is more fees collected through negotiated parkland <br />dedication. Typically in a PUD, only parkland dedication and trail construction costs are <br />credited back to the developer. The actual land costs of the 20ft wide trail corridor land <br />is not credited back to the developer. This results in more parkland dedication fees <br />collected by the City to be utilized in developing the park system. For example, in <br />Natures Refuge approximately 2,350lf of trail were constructed. The approximate one <br />(1) acre trail corridor (2,350lf x 20ft wide) is valued at approximately $50,000 that the <br />City was able to collect and not credit back to the developer. <br />Tree Preservation and Landscaping <br />A Tree Preservation Plan and Landscape Plan in compliance with Section 1007.043 (17), <br />Required Screening, Landscaping and Buffer Yards shall be submitted. Additional landscaping <br />may be required as a condition of the PUD. <br />Traditional/Conventional Development vs Conservation Development <br />A traditional or conventional development uses the standard zoning district requirements that <br />can result in a street grid development. <br />Per City Code Section 1007.007: Subdivision Ordinance Definitions <br />CONSERVATION DEVELOPMENT. The development pattern and technique whereby lots are <br />arranged in closely related groups to preserve the natural amenities of the land through the <br />creation of common open space. <br />Per City Code Section 1001.026: <br />36
