Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 12, 2015 Page 4 of 19 PLAT — Public Land Dedication. LMC requires 12% of commercial property and 15% of residential property. This amounts to approximately 1.93 acres. According to Louisville Municipal Code (LMC), this needs to be unencumbered public land, not streets or right-of-way, but park land or open space. Project shows a 1.4 acre neighborhood park at northwest corner of Kaylix and West Hecla Drive. It also includes the north edge of property which is the north Louisville trail connecting Lafayette, North End, and Steel Ranch to the rest of the city. This north edge has a number of easements on it such as the Lafayette water supply with a utility easement and an Xcel power easement. Staff recognizes this trail is critical to the connection and it is the only workable spot. Discussion will occur at final stage with PC and CC on modifying the recommendation to recognize this trail and this public land dedication as a good benefit for the City. They also provide land that is less than the total acreage requirement. The LMC does allow payment in lieu and an appraisal will be necessary.
