Frenchman Place 5th Addition <br />Page 14 <br />Drainage/Grading <br /> <br />The entire site including the park area is proposed to be mass graded. <br /> <br />Stormwater management for the site is being met using previously constructed stormwater <br />management facilities intended for this property. The existing facilities are adequate for the <br />development. <br /> <br />Stormwater reuse is not proposed to be utilized for this site as stormwater storage is handled <br />offsite. <br /> <br />Utilities <br /> <br />Utilities were previously provided to the site to accommodate development of this parcel. <br />Existing 8” sanitary sewer, 8” watermain as well as a 21” storm sewer along Rosemary Way are <br />being utilized to serve the property. <br /> <br />Wetlands <br /> <br />The project does include wetland impacts that are proposed to be replaced through purchase of <br />wetland credits from a wetland bank. The comment period for the wetland replacement closed <br />on August 1, 2024, with no comments received. <br /> <br />Park Dedication/Openspace <br /> <br />At the current fee of $3,400 per unit with 89 units, the total fee dedication requirement would be <br />$302,600. The there are 8.9 buildable acres. At the density of 10 units per acre, 17% of the <br />buildable acres would be required with a park land dedication totaling 1.58 acres. <br /> <br />The developer is required to dedicate land, pay a fee, or a combination of land and fee to satisfy <br />park dedication per Sec. 90-324 of the City Code. The applicant is proposing to dedicate 1.8 <br />upland acres of parkland and additional openspace. The developer is proposing to grade, <br />construct a trail system, and provide landscaping in the public park area. <br /> <br />This development is in Neighborhood Park Service Area 4 which includes Lions Volunteer Park, <br />Heritage Ponds Park, and Frog Hollow. The surrounding properties are a mix of commercial and <br />higher density residential. The need for a park in the area was raised by residents in the Victor <br />Gardens townhouses when Rosemary Apartments were constructed north of the proposed <br />Lambert Apartments. A small playground was constructed at Rosemary Apartments for their <br />private use. <br /> <br />Rosemary Way to the north of the property has sidewalks on both sides of it. When the road <br />extends, a trail is proposed to be connected to the trail on 147th Street providing access to Lions <br />Volunteer Park. There is a regional trail on the north side of Frenchman Road which provides <br />substantial connections to Hugo’s trail system. Sidewalks in the commercial areas would <br />provide a connection between the apartments and the trail on Frenchman Road. <br />
