The development also includes a private street, a public neighborhood park, <br />stormwater re -use, and sidewalks. The developer is proposing to dedicate a combination of land and fee to <br />satisfy park dedication. Staff recommends acceptance of .45 acres of park land to satisfy park dedication <br />requirements and the remainder to be paid in fees. <br />PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED MEMO. <br />Goodview Avenue Trail Facility Study <br />Lions Park and a new WBLAS Elementary School are planned to be under construction in summer 2021. A <br />pedestrian connection between Lions Park, the school, and the existing trail along Oneka Parkway is <br />desirable. The natural open space owned by the City and School District is substantial, but the majority of it <br />is wetlands. A proposal was received by WSB to study the feasibility of trails in this area for $16,000. It <br />includes mapping the approved wetland delineations of the various parcels, delineating remaining wetlands, <br />as well as preparation and evaluation of conceptual trail alignments and a concluding report. In November <br />2020, the City applied for funding for this project through Living Healthy Washington County and the <br />Statewide Health Improvement Program. The City has had several successful SHIP Active Living Partnership <br />Projects, but was not awarded funding for the trail study. Staff recommends approval of the proposal from <br />WSB to study the feasibility of trails between Lions Park and the new school. <br />WSB'S PROPOSAL AND THE TRAIL PLAN ARE ATTACHED. <br />THE PARKS PLAN CAN BE FOUND AT: https://www.ci.hugo.mn.us/2040compplan <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Parks Commission Agenda <br />April 21, 2021 <br />
