Park Dedication Calculations Required *Land OR Fee Proposed Land 10% of the developable acres 2.14 acres .66 acres and Fee $3,400 per unit $200,600 $146,420 The developer is proposing to construct amenities on the future city park including a shelter, playground, and sidewalk loop in exchange for PUD flexibility. The site plan also includes trees as a buffer to adjacent homes. There is a wetland shown on the proposed park. Wetlands are not given credit for park dedication and this may result in an adjustment to the final calculations. 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. 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 a monument sign, plantings in openspace, etc. Streets & Access 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. Thea 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. Additional right-of-way is not necessary to be dedicated. The remaining portion of Oneka Parkway is proposed to be constructed as adjacent properties develop. Two new access points along Oneka Parkway are proposed. There will be a new access point into the development coming from the extension of Fairoaks Avenue that was constructed as part of the Oneka Place Development. The plan also shows streets that could connect to the north and east for future developments on adjacent properties. No lots will be allowed to have driveway access to Oneka Parkway.
