Title
POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL PARK EAST OF LEXINGTON NORTH OF MAIN
Background
The northeast corner of the city is developing with a higher density of homes in the area. Our Planning and Development Department projected about 700 homes up in this area, but with plans that have recently come in the number is looking more like 900 homes. City staff believes one more mini park will be needed up in this area. Attached is a map of the location staff believes would be an ideal spot to put the park which is just north of an open space property the city owns. The city would ask the developer to give the city the land in lieu of park dedication fees. The rough cost for the 1.5 acres of land for the park would be in the neighborhood of $350,000 and with the additional homes that will be built this would more than cover the cost of this park including adding a playground and trails. Staff will bring up the city interactive map to give the board a visual of the area.
Staff is looking for direction on how to proceed.
