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 of the development, and narrowing Oneka Parkway as it continues north. Ethan Trail is proposed to extend from Prairie Village, to the south, and connect to the main north/south connection of Oneka Parkway. The developer has proposed extending Falcon Avenue for use of the entrance to the proposed park. The developer has also included an extension of Farnham Avenue with a connection to a vacant parcel to the east. It's in staff's opinion that the road connections and access are generally good and connect existing residential developments while also planning connections to other parcels for future development. Wetlands The developer has applied for approval of a wetland delineation through the City. They are currently going through the City's Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) for approval of their wetland delineation on the site. A wetland replacement plan would need to be applied and approved by the TEP if the developer plans to impact any wetlands on the site. This will be evaluated as the project moves forward. Stormwater Management/Water Re -Use The developer is proposing to have a stormwater management plan through the construction of ponds within the site. Staff will be working with the developer, as this projects moves forward, as it relates to stormwater management, floodplain, and infiltration.
