Analysis
The preliminary plat of West Oaks is located on approximately 38.18 acres of
land located west of Waco Street and north of Pinewood Golf Course. Since the
Commission's early review of the concept plan, the preliminary plat has changed I
by reducing the total number of units from 198 to approximately 178. The
proposal includes an increase in the number of single-family detached units and
a reduction in the multiple family attached units. The overall density of this
proposal is 5.8 units per acre net (not including areas of wetlands).
In its early concept review, the Park and Recreation Commission indicated that
cash dedication was preferable. However, after further consideration staff
proposes that the Commission consider a split dedication or recommend that the
`
developer provide a recreational opportunity for residents within the proposed
subdivision. This would allow for the construction of a small playground area, an
open playfield for "pick-up" games, and creation of a gathering space within the
center of the development. Staff believes that this can be accomplished with a
• 2/3-acre (approximately) park area located in the center of the development (see /
proposed park layout). Staff recommends this due to the fact that the nearest

• park is Country Crossing 3, which is in excess of 1.25 miles from this subdivision.
This would require any child living in the subdivision to cross Waco Street in
order to access recreational opportunities.
Requiring land dedication within the Elk Path Business Park is counter-
productive to the City's goal of providing additional industrial tax base and job
creation opportunities.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Commission consider one of the following three
options for cash dedication:
1. Cash: $216,660 (178 units X $1470)
2. Split: 2/3 acre plus cash
3. Land: 3.8 acres
If option one is selected, staff recommends that the Commission recommend that
the developer create a 2/3 acre park area and install a playground structure as
noted on the proposed park layout.

RE: Proposed Plat of West Oaks
NW1/4 of SW1/4 Section 31 Township 33 Range 26
In 1993,during the plat approval of Royal Oak Estates in Big Lake Township (which is
• north and west of the Pinewood Plat), our Board required the developer to provide for
emergency access to the plat from Waco Street to our 183rd Avenue. We also had
recorded a"Declaration of Covenant to Build Road" which provided that when the
property was platted there would be a permanent road connection between 183rd Avenue
and Waco Street.
Our Board re-addressed this issue at our January 24th meeting and affirmed that we still
desire the connection. We believe this to be a public safety benefit and we hope that you
will concur and approve such a connection.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, you may contact me
through the town office.
For the Board,
Ken Warneke X'14,w
