Clearwater Cove Conceat Discussion Shayla Syverson, Parks Planner presented a concept plan for Clearwater Cove for discussion. The plan included 89 single family homes on 41.5 acres. The developer is proposing to build a park, pay full park dedication, and construct several trails. Mike Suel, representing D.R. Horton, discussed that due to some challenges with the property, they will be asking for some flexibility in their PUD. He shared that they have included parks in other residential developments and intend to that again. There would be trail connections, a playground, and a basketball court/foursquare area. Strub and Windisch requested parking be considered near the park and Commission members agreed. The Parks Commission shared positive feedback on the proposed trails and park concept. III. Fable Hill Fourth Addition Park Dedication Proposal Shayla Syverson, Parks Planner, presented an application received for the preliminary plat and PUD amendment from Everton Investments for Fable Hill 41h Addition. The application has 46 detached villa homes and 14 single family detached homes with 3 outlots on 32.3 acres North of Fable Hill Road. Len Pratt, Developer with Everton Investments, informed the Parks Commission of the home model, typical buyer, trail connectivity, the park to be constructed, and possible use of the park by trail users. The applicant stated that they would install and pay for improvements to the park. This would be in lieu of a park dedication fee for the first phase of 26 lots. They are estimating that the cost of the improvements will be $77,472, which is approximately $15,000 more than the required park dedication fee for the first phase. They are proposing that the improvements be installed along with the roadways and utilities in the first phase. The remaining lots will be required to pay the full park dedication fee of $81,600 (34 lots x 2,400). Everton Investments are proposing to install the City's standard hexagonal shelter, four picnic tables, and two benches. They are also proposing to install irrigation, plant trees, and, as necessary, plant grass seed. As shown in the concept plan, there is open space for play and/or future play equipment. Windisch asked about parking to make the pavilion available to residents outside of this development. Pratt said parking is available on the adjacent streets. Rauschendorfer made a motion, Tennyson seconded to approve the park dedication as proposed which includes constructing a shelter, installing irrigation, and landscaping the park in an amount greater than $77,472 with the first phase of 26 lots. Future phases will pay the park dedication fee. All Aye, Motion Carried. IV. Lions Park Plan Promotion Shayla Syverson, Parks Planner updated on promotion of the Lions Park Plan, which includes the City newsletters, local newspaper, informal public meetings, or hosting an informational booth at Good Neighbor Days.
