RE: Oneka Lake Reserve June 5, 2020 The developer proposes to construct a public neighborhood park in the southwest corner of the site. The park has been designed to serve the anticipate needs of young families and visiting grandchildren within this neighborhood and the surrounding area. Park amenities shown on the plans include a playground with equipment designed for younger children, a gazebo with picnic tables for smaller gatherings and a trike track to give the youngsters a place to ride safely. It is proposed that the land for the park satisfy the developer's park dedication requirements with the park facilities provided as part of the PUD. We will work with the city staff and Park Commission to develop a mutually agreeable plan. Stormwater will be managed with a combination of infiltration basins and as suggested by city staff an expansion of open water ponds on adjoining properties into this site. Water from these ponds will be utilized for a centralized irrigation system. The development will be served by publicly owned utilities installed to city standards within an easement under the roadway. The 44 townhomes can be expected to generate on average 8 trips per unit per day or 352 total. The park will generate minimal vehicular traffic. ZONING The site and the properties to the south, west and east are presently zoned R-4 Low Density Multiple Family Residential. The properties to the southwest are zoned CR-3 Central Residential. To the northwest the property is zoned 1-3 General Industrial. The property to the north is zoned R-3 Single Family Detached Residential. The R-4 District permits the townhomes as proposed at a density of three to six units per acre. The density can be increased to eight units per acre under a PUD. The developer proposes to rezone the property to PUD in part to allow a gross density of 6.6 units per acre. The density net of the park dedication is 7.3 units per acre. In addition to an increase in density, rezoning to PUD is necessary to allow the proposed private street and flexibility for building setbacks. The following design standards are proposed for the development site.
