City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 11 of 14 The code requires a minimum 12% public land dedication. Of the 390 acres in this proposal, 81 acres are exempt from the requirement. Therefore the minimum dedication required is 37.1 acres; the applicant is proposal dedicating 139 acres of public land. Director Zuccaro reviewed the dedication in detail. In working with the applicant, staff asked the applicant to consider many factors including: does it cover relatively undisturbed areas of land; does it follow natural drainageways with habitat; is it continuous with other open spaces; and does it buffer existing residential development. Director Zuccaro reviewed the road and trail plan noting the extension of Campus Drive to 96t" Street and possible trail connections. Staff is recommending a condition that the applicant and the Northwest Parkway have a final agreement in place before the City considers the final plat. He reviewed the proposed road layout and traffic analysis at full build out. The study finds 75% of the anticipated traffic would come and go from the Northwest Parkway and US 36 with a smaller percent from City streets. Upgrades to the Northwest Parkway and US 36 will need to be addressed long term with the regional agencies. He reviewed the grading, drainage, and utility plans. There are six regional detention ponds proposed; a new lift station would be needed and built by the applicant; and upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant would be needed in future stages of development. Director Zuccaro reviewed the transportation demand management plan which is required by the 2010 zoning agreement. He also reviewed the sustainability commitments which staff will require in the subdivision agreement and PUD approvals. He reviewed the municipal code's specific approval criteria for a subdivision plat including conformation with Title 16, whether it complies with the Comprehensive Plan, and the zoning requirements. Staff finds the application does comply with all of the requirements and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board reviewed the application and recommended approval. The Open Space Advisory Board (OSAB) recommended approval with conditions including requiring a commitment to rehabilitate and dedicate the Paradise Lane properties; requiring the applicant use City standards for underpass design; that OSAB participate in the PUD review process; and that the applicant to consider a third underpass at Rockress Drive/NW Parkway.
