July 28, 2022 PC Minutes Page 3 Future Urban Service (FUS) and is guided as Low Density Residential (LD) in the 2040 Land Use Plan. The allowed net density is up to 4 units per acre with a PUD. The development is proposed to be 2.8 units per acre, which meets the density requirements. The developer has proposed requesting approval of a PUD for the development. PUD’s offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater variety of uses, internal transfers of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the use of other, more standard zoning districts. The applicant is proposing flexibility on lot size, lot width, and setbacks. In exchange for the flexibility the applicant has indicated that the developmen t will have a stormwater reuse system for irrigation and the developer will be responsible for the cost and installation of the playground equipment and shelter at the proposed park. This development is in Neighborhood Park Service Area 3 which does not have any parks in it at this time. The property is not in an area identified as a greenway. Frog Hollow and Oneka Elementary are the closest recreational amenities. Due to the size of the proposed development, it is difficult to include a neighborhood park. It is likely that a more sizeable neighborhood park would be constructed to the east with future development. A future park in this location could be a part of a greenway corridor and connect to city-owned park land to the south. The developer is proposing to continue the trail and sidewalks on Oneka Parkway. They are also proposing to extend the trail on the west side of Fairoaks Avenue North and extend it to the east to connect to future trails. Sidewalks are proposed along all remaining streets. This is in keeping with the neighborhood to the south and allow for connections to future development At its July 20, 2022, the Parks Commission provided feedback on the proposed sketch plan and amenities as it is anticipated that it will become a city park. They generally liked the park layout and the proposed amenities. They recommended approval of the proposed park dedication request by the applicant. The property is located north of Empress Avenue North (constructed as part of the Oneka Place Development), south of 165th Street and east of the extension of Oneka Parkway. The applicant is proposing to extend Oneka Parkway 700 feet to the north. An existing 100-ft right-of-way exists for the construction of Oneka Parkway. The remaining portion of Oneka Parkway is proposed to be constructed as adjacent properties develop. Sewer and water is available from the south property, however a sanitary sewer lift station is required to be installed and is identified in the Comp Plan to somewhere along Oneka Parkway. It is a trunk lift station that will serve several other properties and will be designed, installed, and paid for by the City. The sanitary service coming from Fairoaks Avenue to the south has limited depth to serve the western portion of the development. A majority of the development will be served by the new lift station .
