INTRODUCTION: <br /> <br />At their meeting of May 15, 2019, the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Commission approved <br />a concept plan for the future park in Adelaide Landing. The Parks Capital Improvement Plan <br />included $350,000 for construction of the park in 2019. <br /> <br />2. BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Commission reviewed a sketch plan for Adelaide <br />Landing at their July 13, 2016, which included an area for a park. Excelsior Group made a <br />proposal for park dedication that included a combination of 7.8 acres of land plus $1,128 per unit <br />in fees which was approved. <br /> <br />At the meeting of January 11, 2019, the Parks Commission heard that the Third Addition of <br />Adelaide Landing was starting which provided access to the future park. A partnership between <br />the City and the developer was discussed where the City would plan the park and install the park <br />features. Excelsior Group would construct the paved areas within the park as a part of their <br />upcoming pavement projects in exchange for a reduction in their park dedication fees. <br /> <br />The Parks Commission reviewed concept plans at their meetings of April 17, 2019 and made <br />revisions. A concept plan was approved at their May 15, 2019 meeting. <br /> <br />3. PARK CONCEPT: <br /> <br />The park is centrally located within the development and easily accessible by the network of <br />trails, sidewalks, and board walks installed by the developer as a part of their Planned Unit <br />Development. The trails meander the open space in the park which is made up of stormwater <br />ponds and wetlands.
