7 Oneka Commons Sketch Plan 2022 The above assumption is only if the entire property is master planned and uses park dedication overall. If each parcel is developed separately, the park dedication would be calculated separately. Only buildable land is accepted for park dedication. The City may accept wetlands, ponds, or other undevelopable land areas that could be incorporated in the park system but dedication credit will not be given for these areas. Trail construction is required, but park land dedication credit is not given for trail corridors. Only contiguous buildable park land is granted credit for park dedication. Based on the wetland survey for the property, not all of the proposed 4.2 acres of parkland is buildable. In 2020, Parks Commission reviewed the sketch plan from the applicant with showing generally the same proposed park and trail plan, and provided comments to the applicant. The Parks Commission provided the following feedback: • The Commission stated that the trails shown were generally in a good location as long as they were in a buildable area, not within a wetland or stormwater pond. Some off road trails were desired. • Continue the paved trail along west side of Fenway Avenue to Frenchman Road/CSAH 8. • Construction of a paved trail on the south side of Frenchman Road/CSAH 8. • Construction of sidewalks where required. • Incorporation of the greenway corridor per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. • Incorporation of the Downtown Design Guidelines. • The Commission would consider a park in the area closer to the higher density residential development. They would also consider a combination of land and fee for park dedication satisfaction. o Any land used to satisfy the park dedication requirement shall be buildable. o Could be located within the greenway corridor. o Medium sized park with active amenities. Streets and Access Generally the proposed access locations and street locations meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is showing a right-in/right-out access to Frenchman Road/CSAH 8 that is not on Washington County’s corridor plan and would need to be approved by the County. Washington County plans show future traffic signals at the prosed access points along Frenchman Road/CSAH 8 at Fenway Boulevard and Oneka Parkway. Developer contributions to the cost of the traffic signals will be considered with the development of these properties. The development of this property result in in the construction of Victor Path (frontage road) and Fenway Boulevard. This would require connecting to Fenway Boulevard to the south to the Bald Eagle Industrial Park and easements acquisitions will be required. The applicant has not shown the connection on the proposed sketch plan. The sketch plan shall be revised to include the street connection.
