Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 May 31, 2000 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Review Revised Preliminary Plat — Bluebill Ponds (dated 4/28/00) Attached is the revised preliminary plat for the Bluebill Ponds development. The original preliminary plat was discussed at the October 4, 1999 Park Board meeting. The 35 -acre development is located on the south side of Main Street, between Wood Duck Trail and Bluebill Lane. The preliminary plat identified 72 single - family lots and a park dedication of 2.26 acres. The primary difference from the preliminary plat is that access is from Wood Duck Trail. This coincides with the Main Street access management plan that indicates a full access at the intersection of Main Street and Wood Duck Trail. At the March 6, 2000 Park Board meeting the original revised preliminary plat was discussed. The Planning Department became aware of an existing right -of -way on the north edge of Mardon Acres, which abuts the Bluebill Ponds development. The purpose for the existing right -of -way was to allow public access to the northern side of lots of Mardon Acres so they could be subdivided. Neighborhood meetings confirmed that residents desire to have this street. This requires a 30 -foot right -of -way dedication on the southern edge of Bluebill Ponds (Currently Street A). This street location eliminated any additional parkland adjacent to the existing Highland Meadows Park. Therefore, the park dedication for the Bluebill Ponds development will be 100 percent cash. This is estimated to be approximately $95,000. At the March 6, 2000 Park Board Meeting , "Paul Montain made a motion for staff to pursue looking into the purchase of Outlot D in Highland Meadows Subdivision. Staff shall work with the developer of Bluebill Ponds to enhance and create trails to offer residents access to Highland Meadows Park, with the understanding that if the road alignment changes, the Park Board will have to review the plan again. The cash dedication will be used in the development of Highland Meadows Park. The suggested trails are as follows: Street A along south end of Block 3, Lot 7, between the proposed pond areas to between Lots 13 -14, to Street B. Street B cul -de -sac to Street D cul -de -sac, between Lots 31 -32.
