• <br />• <br />• <br />Park Board Meeting - May 3, 2004 <br />Minutes <br />to further develop Birchwood Acres Park (half court basketball <br />court ?) . <br />Rick indicated Mr. Michael Black from Royal Oaks Realty, Inc., is <br />present to discuss the development and park dedication. The Park <br />Board needs to make a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning <br />Board and the City Council regarding park dedication <br />requirements. <br />Chair Lindy stated the Park Board has obtained this type of <br />property for park dedication fees in the past. The corner lot <br />does look unworkable as far and development and a park area. The <br />question is the value of that land. The City already has a lot <br />of unusable parkland. <br />Rick stated he would not consider the proposed area a park area. <br />The area would strictly be an avenue for residents to loop while <br />walking. He indicated that is why he believes a cash dedication <br />should also be required to satisfy the park dedication fee. <br />Chair Lindy asked if there would be an internal trail access <br />within the development. Rick advised there is a single entrance <br />from the southwest parcel. There would be other connections when <br />other properties develop to the north. <br />Mr. Mike Black, Royal Oaks Realty, referred to a drawing of the <br />property noting it is a 50 -acre site. He also pointed out the <br />wetland delineation areas. The upper area was designated as <br />parkland because the neighborhood indicated they want trails. He <br />referred to the proposed plat noting the park area would provide <br />a passive trail loop and also provides for future trail expansion <br />to the northeast. He stated the park dedication was determined <br />by the land value and the cost to construct the trail. Those <br />costs are double the amount of park fees if the City were to <br />obtain cash dedication. He noted the trail loop could be <br />eliminated from the plan if the Commission requests that. <br />Chair Lindy inquired about the distance from the proposed trail <br />to the nearest existing trail. He stated it is not a contiguous <br />trail loop. <br />Mr. Black stated the trail would provide for future connections. <br />The area is heavily wooded and would provide a nice trail <br />experience. He indicated he does not know how far the trail is <br />from existing trails. <br />Chair Lindy stated the Park Board has to decide if there is merit <br />to the trail loop. He suggested it might be better to develop <br />that parcel with homes and develop a trail system within the <br />development. He inquired about the average lot size. <br />2 <br />
