The Meadows at Hugo Sketch Plan The developer is required to dedicate land, pay a fee, or a combination of land and fee. At this time, the developer has not indicated how they propose to satisfy the park dedication requirement, but it is assumed that they will pay the fee because they are not showing a land dedication. The park dedication section of the City Code requires the applicant dedicate 10% of the developable acres for park land with a density of up to 3.99 units per acre. The developer has indicated that there are 27.31 acres of buildable land in the development. Therefore, the developer would be required to dedicate 2.73 acres of park land. The current park dedication fee is $2,400 per unit. If a fee is preferable, with 84 units, the park dedication fee would be $201,600. Parks Commission Update: At its March 20, 2019 meeting, the Parks Commission agreed that the existing parks are sufficient to serve the development and recommended the developer pay the fee to satisfy the park dedication requirements. 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 any monument sign, plantings in open space, etc. Wetlands The City's Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) has approved the wetland delineation for the property. The sketch plan shows approximately 1.9 acres of wetland fill and mitigation. The developer has stated that they will evaluate the site to preserve to the maximum extent possible the sites natural features (wetland, floodplain, shoreland, etc) as part of the PUD request. 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. Staff has recommended that the applicant schedule a preliminary TEP meeting. 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. The developer has also indicated that they will be using stormwater for irrigation purposes within the development. If the system is feasible, from a water availability and design standpoint, it will require additional review and analysis as the project moves forward. 5. CONCLUSION/ RECOMMENDATIONS: The developer has continued to work with staff to submit a new sketch plan and would like to hear additional feedback from the Planning Commission and City Council. The development currently
