• Behm's Farm Park Addition page 6 Native plantings have been planted inside the southern half of the trail loop. The northern portion is sodded, irrigated play area. Transportation, Roads, Access, Circulation: No new roads are proposed. Parks and Trails: The City agreed to sell the land to the developer in order to obtain funds to develop the park. As part of the land sale agreement, the developer has completed earthmoving work in the park. He also graded the trail and installed aggregate. The City has since paved the trail. Additional park dedication will be $6885 cash. Because of the unusual situation, staff and the developer negotiated for the cash dedication. This is based on a typical cost of land per acre in Lino Lakes, and the 2.55 acres of new lots: $27,000 x 2.55 = $68,850. The typical City park dedication of 10% calculates out to $6885. Some discussion occurred at the public hearing about trail access to the site. Behm's 5th Addition to the east across Mustang Lane originally had a trail leading to Mustang Lane. However, residents protested that trail location, so it was not constructed all the way to Mustang. Stormwater Management: As noted above, the ditch across the northern portion of the park has been realigned somewhat as part of an approved plan. Grading and stormwater management for this area was reviewed with previous Behm's Century Farms development. The grading plan for the new lots will meet City requirements. Utilities: Sewer and water are available both in Mustang Lane and Palomino Lane. Conditions of Approval of Preliminary Plat: Resolution 01 -06 approves the preliminary plat. Three conditions of approval are included in the resolution: 1. Ordinance 01 -01 must be in effect (30 days after publication) before the final plat can be recorded. 2. Ordinance 02 -01 must be in effect (30 days after publication) before the final plat can be recorded. 3. The developer must notify purchasers of residential lots of the existence of the nearby Lino Air Park. The developer must provide to the City a copy of the notification format to be used before final plat approval by the City. PARK BOARD RECOMMENDATION The Park Board discussed this project at its January 4 meeting. The Board was glad this project is in progress in order to complete the agreement and develop the park. The Park Board is satisfied with the additional cash park dedication.
