4 <br />Rosemary Place Sketch Plan <br /> <br />Parks/Trails <br /> <br />Park Dedication <br /> <br />The developer is required to dedicate land, pay a fee, or a combination of land and fee. At the <br />maximum allowed density of 10 units per acre, the developer is required to 17 percent of <br />buildable acreage. The park dedication fee is $3,400 per unit. The applicant has not made their <br />intentions for meeting park dedication requirements clear at this time. The sketch plan shows a <br />playground and courtyard attached to the building, but it is unclear whether these would be <br />public or used as private amenities for residents. The applicant is currently planning to <br />incorporate walking trails within the remainder of the property to the east of the utility easement. <br />If this area would be incorporated into the city park system, then 1.3 acres of buildable land <br />would need to be used in order to meet the required 17 percent of buildable acreage for park <br />dedication. However, the applicant’s narrative seems to suggest that the trail area would be kept <br />private as a resident amenity. <br /> <br />Changes in zoning and land use for this property would need to be evaluated by the Parks <br />Commission for an assessment of the park system in the area and recommendations for park <br />dedication for this property. <br /> <br />Streets and Access <br /> <br />The applicant’s sketch plan currently shows two access points onto the property on the northwest <br />and northeast corner of the parking lot onto Rosemary Way. A traffic engineer may need to <br />review the proposed access points to understand if Rosemary Way can handle the proposed <br />traffic. Rosemary Way is a collector road and presumably can handle the additional traffic, since <br />high traffic is anticipated for collector roads. If the applicant were to develop a PUD with <br />commercial uses in the remaining portion of the property, additional points of access will need to <br />be provided. <br /> <br />Stormwater Management <br /> <br />The applicant has not provided plans for stormwater management or water reuse. The applicant <br />will need to develop a stormwater management plan that meets drainage requirements. This will <br />impact the areas that can be used for buildings and development. <br /> <br />Utilities <br /> <br />The property is served by city sewer and water. The sewer and water system can handle the <br />proposed land use changes. <br /> <br />3. CONCLUSION/ RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> <br />Due to constraints on the property such as existing wetlands that are proposed to be filled, it is <br />not certain what the total buildable area will be in the plan review process. It is unclear in the
