A. Recommendation on Park Dedication requirements for Winding Creek
Development — This item was tabled at the December 12, 2011 Park Board
meeting and was resubmitted with revisions to the park dedication acreage and
credit balance amounts. Director Tribble presented the item.
Winding Creek, a 46.65 gross acre development, including 74 residential units,
proposed by Terra Land Development, located off South Carroll Avenue,
between La Paloma Court and Westmont Drive is required to either dedicate
1.85 acres of public parkland or pay an alternative fee payment of $222,000.
Winding Creek proposed to dedicate 2.15 acres of public park land to be
maintained by the developer and eventually, an established home owners
association, in perpetuity. The developer also agreed that all trails on both the
public park land and the private open space will remain open to the public. The
proposed park land and amenities (trails and park benches, both public and
private) are valued at approximately $325,500. The developer also requested the
credit balance of $103,500 be applied to a future park development by the same
owner /applicant/developer. The developer further agreed to include parking
spaces for public parking on the entrance road.
Paul Spain, developer, Terra Land Development, was present and responded to
questions from the Board.
The Board discussed the proposal. The Board would like to include language in
the current Park Dedication Guidelines sheet and the 2030 Mobility Plan
regarding retention ponds and /or lakes to strongly encourage the developer to
include circular trails if possible.
The Board may also review the provision in the Park Dedication Guidelines sheet
requiring that a developer's park dedication credit be used towards adjacent
projects since the Ordinance provides that credit may be applied to any future
park development by a developer.
Park Board took action on the item with two recommendations.
First:
A motion was made to recommend the acceptance of the proposed park
dedication of 2.15 acres as presented to satisfy the park dedication requirement;
and with that acceptance of the recommendation, the developer's agreement be
recognized authorizing the public use of the open space immediately west of the
accepted park land and up to the property lines, and the inclusion of the parking
spaces on the south side of the main entrance road.
