Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, park dedication for Tall Pines 2nd be paid for 30 dwelling units at the rate
applicable when the subdivision is released for recording. (This will be $1,075.79/lot at the 2019
medium-density rate)
Background/Discussion
The subject property is located east of Line Avenue just south of 5th
Street (Figure 1) and is 6.33 acres in size. The proposed plat will
consist of 30 buildable lots.
Parks and Recreation Commission
The Neighborhood Parks Service Area text in Chapter 5 of the
master plan states, residential development within the urban service area is at
a density that will support a neighborhood park at a 10-minute walking
distance, or a half-mile service radius. Most areas are well served. Because
the urban service area is largely developed with little vacant land available
to create new parks, emphasis will be on improving connectivity to existing
parks and providing basic neighborhood park facilities as undeveloped
parks become developed.
Trott Brook Farms Park, Hillside City Park, and three smaller
neighborhood parks fall within the half-mile radius criteria. The
subject property does not meet this criteria, therefore staff
recommends dedication be paid in the form of cash.
Master Trail Plan
No trail or pedestrian connections are shown on the master trail
plan for the subject parcel. An existing sidewalk runs along the
entire eastern side of the subject parcel.
