However, when Lot 2 Block 2 on the initial drawing is combined with Outlot B, there will be only four new house sites: Lots 1, 3, 4, 5 in Block 1. Therefore, based on $500 per new house, the dedication would be $2000. This does not include future development of Outlot A or the amended Outlot B. Park dedication will be addressed for Outlot A and Outlot B when plats for them are submitted in the future. Higher density development has higher park dedication requirements than single family development, and that will be considered at the appropriate time. One of the recommendations added by P & Z is that trail connections be examined. The City's park plan describes a trail following the powerline easement to Lake Drive and providing trail access to the neighborhood park. This powerline easement does not cross the Highland Meadows East project. It is several hundred feet to the south. Roads, Circulation, Traffic Access would be along 79th St. As part of the Highland Meadows PDO to the west (approved in 1997), the developer will be required to improve 79th St. to Lake Drive. This new plat, Highland Meadows East, increases the need for this improvement, and this condition is reiterated in the recommended conditions of approval in this report. A dedication of additional right of way also is appropriate. A 66 ft. right of way location is retained for access to future development in Outlot A. The Environmental Board recommends that a reduced pavement width be considered for that road to reduce impervious surface. This should be addressed when Outlot A development plans are submitted. The City Engineer's comments address road issues more fully. Utilities Sewer and water will run along 79th St. to serve this development as well as the larger development to the west. They will connect to the new utilities along Lake Drive. The City Engineer's comments address the utility issues. P & Z ACTION The P & Z Board held a public hearing on July 14. The Board approved the plat with the conditions listed below.
