The first phase is proposed to have approximately 52 homes built, while there will be 177 lots in total when the development is fully complete. The first phase is proposed to have a mix of the three product types. Parks / Trails The developer is proposing a park to the east of the residential development. This park is within the City's greenway corridor, which is an area that has been identified for having significant natural resources. The desire with greenway corridors is to preserve large intact blocks of natural resources as open space and link them together so that it can be used by both humans and animals. Because the site is located within the greenway corridor and proposed to be deeded to the City as a public park, staff will be working more with the developer on the amenities planned to be offered in the park. The developer is required to dedicate land, or pay a fee, or a combination of land and a fee. For the 117.5 acre site, parkland dedication of 9.36 acres of upland is required. The developer may also pay the fee, which is currently $2,400 per unit. The parkland dedication fee for the proposed 177 lots would be $424,800. The developer is proposing land dedication in lieu of fees with 11.20 acres of land. The developer's proposal will be evaluated by the Parks Commission. The developer has prepared a plan of what the park could look like. Currently, the developer has not indicated what would be constructed or paid for with their park dedication or request for PUD flexibility. The park currently has a layout that shows parking and loading areas, a pavilion, playground space, two sport courts, ballfields, and trail connections. Staff has reviewed the park and believes the developer has generally done a good job planning what the future of the park could like look while understanding its location within the greenway corridor. Staff has some general comments regarding trail connections, parking, and ensuring proper use of the park with the wetland constraints on site. Staff will continue to work with the developer on the park as the project moves forward. Although not shown on the concept plan, the developer has indicated that trail and sidewalk connections will be made to existing connections to the south. The developer will also be expected to plan for sidewalks on any street that is planned to have housing products with a lot width under 80 feet. Landscaping The developer has not submitted a landscape plan. In exchange for PUD flexibility, the City could expect a landscape plan that goes beyond the minimum requirements to provide street trees, entrance streetscaping, plantings around a monument sign, plantings in openspace, etc. Road Construction & Access The concept plan shows the proposed development to extend main road connections. Oneka Parkway is proposed to be extended to the north with other main connections to adjacent parcels. Staff is working with the developer on the transition from the median in Oneka Parkway, south
