Participation numbers were down a little but staff is still looking at running the program again in 2014 . Rick asked members to read the report in their packets and to contact him if they had any questions . 2 Park Board Meeting — January 6 , 2014 Minutes 6 . NEW BUSINESS : 6a . REVIEW NORTHPOINTE DEVELOPMENT : Rick said Northpointe is a residential development located west of Interstate 35E and south of Cedar Street with potential for 228 single family detached homes and an 85 unit multi -family 55 + complex . The Resource Management System Plan identifies the following needs in the area : ® Future neighborhood park 0 Trails • Greenway system • Designated bike route along CSAH 54 ( 20th Avenue ) The Northpointe development addresses the elements of a neighborhood park, trails and greenway system . The greenway system extends along the southeast quadrant of the site which coincides with the existing floodplain , drainage ditch and wetland areas and will be protected with dedicated easements . The Transportation Plan indicates a designated bike route along CSAH 54 , which right of way is being dedicated for ( but not constructed ) . Park Dedication will consist of a combination of land dedication and cash . The proposal dedicates 5 . 04 acres of parkland . A trail is also proposed which extends from the southeast through the wetland and park to the north to Cedar Street West . The construction costs of the trail will be credited from the total payment . The park land will be deeded to the City . Preliminary Public Land Dedication calculations are as follows . 313 units x $ 2 , 500 per unit $ 782 , 500 Less land dedication credit - 114 , 200 Remaining Balance $ 668 , 300 Less Trail Construction TBD Discussion points for Park Board : 1 . Should the trail be constructed through Outlot & Westland Area with initial phases of development or should City collect fees now and construct later ( Depicted in dotted orange ) ? After discussion the Board felt the trail should not be developed and that the City should collect the park dedication fees . 2 . The trail show along lots ( Block 6 & 8 ) currently planned as sidewalk . 3 . Staff has suggested sidewalks along Street C and Street B . Should there also be sidewalk along Street E ? The Park Board thought the entire segment of Street E between Street C and Street B should be sidewalk . 3 Park Board Meeting — January 6 , 2014 Minutes 4 . Consider future connection of trail if Birch Street were to be extended east with future development . Regarding this item the Park Board thought the developer/ realtor should tell prospective property owners about the possibility of future trail development in this area . There was also discussion on when development would start , how long it would take to fully develop this area and who is responsible for maintaining the trails and sidewalks . 6b . REVIEW SADDLE CLUB DEVELOPMENT The Saddle Club is a 55 lot single family residential subdivision located south of Birch Street and southeast of Old Birch Street . Pheasant Run South will extend from the east and connect with Old Birch Street as a local road . Fox Road will extend north - south and terminate at the southwest property line to provide future connection to the existing Fox Road in the Foxborough Development . The Resource Management Plan identifies a greenway system and trail connection within the development . The greenway is comprised primarily of the Wetland Management Corridor ( WMC ) established by the Rice Creek Watershed District ( RCAWDA ) Wetland Management Corridor ( WMC ) . These areas consist of the high value wetlands that support high diversity plant and animal communities and are considered Environmentally Sensitive Areas ( ESA' s ) in the Comprehensive Plan . The Saddle Club property represents the final linl( of a multifunctional greenway corridor stretching from Deer Lane ( west of Foxborough ) to Birch Park ( east of Preserve at Line Lakes ) . An east-west trail connection is proposed within the greenway system along the southern portion of property between the Foxborough and Preserve developments , as well as a sidewalk along the north / east side of the new segment of Old Birch Street . Proposed trail / sidewalk segments are depicted in blue . The attached map poses two questions for the Park Board to discuss : 1 . Should the " north " segment of the trail be constructed to Fox Road ? ( Depicted in pink on packet sketch ) 2 . Should the connection south of Black Berry Court along Old Birch Street be sidewalk or trail ( Depicted in yellow on packet sketch ) ? This is connecting to the existing trail in the Preserve . Our conversations with the developer is that it should be trail south of Black Berry and sidewalk north but they are showing it as all sidewalk . The City will require payment in lieu of land dedication for purposes of public land dedication . A public park trail will be constructed by the developer along the southern portion of the development which will connect the existing trail in Foxborough and Preserve . The construction costs of the trail will be subtracted from the total payment in lieu . The outlots will be deeded to the City but are in addition to the park land dedication . 4 Park Board Meeting — January 6 , 2014 Minutes 55 lots x $ 2 , 500 payment in lieu = $ 137 , 500 Construction Cost of Trail = TBD Total Payment in Lieu (TBD ) Rick told members that due to the slope of the trail ( depicted in yellow on packet sketch ) it would be hard to do a trail and thought a sidewalk should be put in . The members talked about the trail and if it would require boardwalk . They wondered what O the cost would be to construct a boardwalk . They also asked if there was money left over where it would go . Rick explained that it would be used in Birch Park as this was the designated park for this area . After discussion the Park Board thought the " north " segment of trail ( highlighted in pink on the sketch ) should be constructed to Fox Road . They were split on whether the trail connection south of Black Berry Court should be an 8 ' off road trail or concrete sidewalk . However, they did think it would look nicer if it was kept consistent . 11 . NEXT PARK BOARD MEETING . The next Park Board Meeting will be Monday, February 3 , 2014 , at 6 : 30pm . 12 . ADJOURN : Richard Jensen made a motion to adjourn , seconded by Matt Koehn . The Park Board Meeting was adjourned at 7 : 48p . m . Respectfully Submitted , Sandra Wood Public Services Office Tech II 5
