The total lot size is 1.156 acres and the 15% land dedication is. 173 acre. The zoning is SF-E, Single-Family Estate. Johnstone addressed the 15% public use dedication of a public trail connection from St. Andrews Lane to Dillon Road and that all parties agree that the trail will be a community benefit. He noted that the annexation agreement required that the trail be ADA compliant, however the Engineering Division determined that the trail is too small to be constructed to the ADA standards and recommends that the social trail not be improved at this time. However, at such time that an expansion/re-alignment to Dillon Road is constructed, the City may reevaluate both the alignment and associated improvements to the trail. He stated that a representative of the Coal Creek Ranch Home Owners Association would express their support of the Final Subdivision Plat and the trail. He stated that the annexation agreement provides an option to require a 15% cash contribution. Johnstone stated that the resolution has four recommended conditions of approval, which are mainly housekeeping measures.
